J.P. Delaney Quotes
In My Art History Degree Course, We Did A Module On Palimpsests - Medieval Sheets Of Parchment So Costly That, Once The Text Was No Longer Needed, The Sheets Were Simply Scraped Clean And Reused, Leaving The Old Writing Faintly Visible Through The New. Later, Renaissance Artists Used The Word Pentimenti, Repentances, To Describe Mistakes Or Alterations That Were Covered With New Paint, Only To Be Revealed Years Or Even Centuries Later As The Paint Thinned With Time, Leaving Both The Original And The Revision On View.
Sometimes I Have A Sense That This House - Our Relationship In It, With It, With Each Other - Is Like A Palimpsest Or Pentimento, That However Much We Try To Overpaint Emma Matthews, She Keeps Tiptoeing Back: A Faint Image, An Enigmatic Smile, Stealing Its Way Into The Corner Of The Frame.
