Illustrated quotes by visual artist Eugene J. Martin, Part I

http://www.eugenemartinart.com/ .
This is Part I of a 4-part series "Quotes and Graphite Drawings" by visual artist Eugene James Martin. The drawings date from 1977 and 1978; the quotes from the mid-1970's. Many of the quotes and all of the original drawings that accompanied the quotes Eugene Martin organized in a special volume were accidentally lost in Washington D.C. in the early 1980's when someone borrowed the chapbook and misplaced it. Works of art created in Washington D.C., filmed in Lafayette, Louisiana (LA). Video clip montage by S. Fredericq. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_J._Martin

A paperback and e-version of the annotated quotes are available at http://www.amazon.com/Annotated-Drawings-Eugene-Martin-1977-1978/dp/057802604...

Heute noch

Heute noch, lieber Vater, tut es doch. Ach, ein Mann!
Dieser steht mir trefflich an! Wenn es sich
Doch balde fügte dass ich endlich vor Kaffee
Das ich einen Liebsten kriegte, eh' ich noch
Zu Bett geh' einen wackern Liebsten kriegte!

Oh, make it happen today, daddy. Ah, a husband!
One must be out there waiting for me. Soon it will
happen that in exchange for forsaking my coffee, I'll
have a boyfriend. Maybe even before bedtime I will
get a gallant new suitor!

molto buon artista eugene... ma la musica qualcosa inadeguata per servire da ambientazione. la cantata caffè di bach nonostante essere profana, continua ad essere molto angelico ed una delle cose ma belle del mondo!!!

che viva johann sebastian bach e la sua intelligenza che commuove e perdura per sempre.

la cantata caffè una delle sue opere ma belle senza dubitare.

Bach's Coffee Cantata's text is secular. The same

music was also used for the religious version. It is

indeed one of the most glorious pieces ever created,

just as these drawings by Martin are. As much as I

admire the music, I completely ignore the insipid

subject, the new coffee fad! Just as one appreciates

the music for the joy it brings, so can one appreciate

Martin's imagery for what is or isn't necessarily

apparent. In this sense, music and imagery may

complement one another beautifully.

My uncle Eugene worked very hard for his accomplishments and his artwork shows through his creativeness.

Eugene Martin's quotes are really great! The diversity of his work is amazing. He is definitely a man who refuses to be distracted.

I didn't know music about coffee could go so well with drawings!

Lovely match on quotes, images and music. This video gives me a deeper insight of the artist's character.
