Montmartre at Dusk

  • Sale
  • Regular price $168.00


Low Hai Hong felt so alive, so inspired in Paris, that he painted a flurry of paintings when he was there.

 

He made full use of his artist studio at Citi de Ville.  

 

Painted canvases and paper hanged at every available wall space to dry.  Tubes of paints, brushes, overflowing palettes were all over the tables.  The smell of oil paints and turpentine lingered in the room all the time. 

 

He was grateful for this space to paint freely, something that was not possible if he was in Paris as a tourist staying in a hotel.

The Letter Home 

 

From all his overseas travels throughout the years, Low Hai Hong wrote only one letter home.  This was the letter from Paris.  

 

It was a letter for his family, as much as a letter for himself.  Been in Paris brought about so many feelings and thoughts that he had to write them down, and share with his closest. 

 

He was bursting with excitement, to see the masters in person at the museums, to indulge in the artistic city of Paris. 

 

Original letter written in Chinese:

我终于实现的多年的梦想。此刻的我充满着兴奋的精神,仿佛又回到三十多年的憧憬理想时代。那时的我以至现在的我终于归于一致,热情和历经霜雪合而为一。

 

Translated in English:

I have finally achieved my dream.  At this moment, I am full of excitement!  I feel that I am back to my young energetic self at 30 years old, full of ideals and hope.

 I am finally complete.  My younger self and older self are now one; passion from my youth and experiences from my life have now come together for a complete me.

 

The letter from the Singapore artist in Paris continues with Morning Mist.
