Lusting Beauty of Simplicity II

On a previous post, 2-6-09, I lusted the beautiful simplicity of the artist Moise.

This post will feature the beautifully simple figurative work of Hannes Steinert.

Having been a custom home builder and designer, I am well aware of the difficulty of creating beauty in simple lines and arrangement.

I hope you'll enjoy his hand made prints as much as I do.

Lusting Anonymous

I've often wondered how many beautiful drawings, left unsigned, litter the shelves, closets, attics, and drawers of the world.

They rarely see the full light of day, and yet can offer visual pleasure despite their anonymity.

The drawings below may be from a famous hand or just an student of the arts.

Art should stand alone, based on merits, not signature or pedigree.

Lusting Variations . . .

On a Theme . . . Shattered

Shattered, shattered
Love and hope and sex and dreams
Are still surviving on the street
Look at me, Im in tatters!
Im a shattered
Shattered



Friends are so alarming
My lovers never charming
Lifes just a cocktail party on the street
Big apple
People dressed in plastic bags
Directing traffic
Some kind of fashion
Shattered


Laughter, joy, and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex
Look at me, Im in tatters
Im a shattered
Shattered


All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter bout
Shmatta, shmatta, shmatta -- I cant give it away on 7th avenue
This towns been wearing tatters (shattered, shattered)
Work and work for love and sex
Aint you hungry for success, success, success, success
Does it matter? (shattered) does it matter?
Im shattered.
Shattered


Ahhh, look at me, Im a shattered
Im a shattered
Look at me- Im a shattered, yeah




Pride and joy and greed and sex
Thats what makes our town the best
Pride and joy and dirty dreams and still surviving on the street
And look at me, Im in tatters, yeah
Ive been battered, what does it matter
Does it matter, uh-huh
Does it matter, uh-huh, Im a shattered



Dont you know the crime rate is going up, up, up, up, up
To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!
You got rats on the west side
Bed bugs uptown
What a mess this towns in tatters Ive been shattered
My brains been battered, splattered all over manhattan




Uh-huh, this towns full of money grabbers
Go ahead, bite the big apple, dont mind the maggots, huh
Shadoobie, my brains been battered
My friends they come around they
Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter
Pile it up, pile it high on the platter

Shattered ~ Rolling Stones
