"It All Depends On The Point Of View"
Skilder: Franciszka Themerson (1975)


In die toepassing, DailyArt, word die skildery as volg beskryf:

"Franciszka Themerson’s "It all depends on the point of view" is a painting that immediately points to its message: what we see is never absolute. Our gaze is shaped by perspective, habits, and the frames (both literal and cultural) through which we look. Themerson—painter, illustrator, and stage designer—who, throughout her life, accompanied her husband Stefan in avant-garde artistic experiments, from the very beginning used the language of images as a tool of analysis and intellectual play.

It is no coincidence that this work opens the new (Inaugurated today on 17 October 2025) permanent exhibition, *[Ways of Seeing](https://utm.guru/ui5v0),* at the Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź. Placed right at the entrance, it sets the perspective from which the entire journey through the collection begins—it reminds us that looking is never neutral, and that our gaze is always shaped by experiences, knowledge, and habits.

The work is one of many examples of Franciszka Themerson’s distinctive style, combining simplicity of form with philosophical inquisitiveness. Its subject is the act of looking—its relativity, conventionality, and the need to question assumptions once adopted. The titular “depends on the point of view” is both a warning and an invitation: to embrace a multiplicity of perspectives and thus to resist the temptation of simple divisions and unequivocal interpretations."

Musiek:

Hier het ons 'n baie goeie voorbeeld van musikale gevoel, eerder as 'n direkte beskrywing van die maan. Dit roep meer die glinsterende sensasie van maanlig op. Dit leer jou om te hoor – en selfs meer as dit - om op 'n nuwe, meer vloeiende en persoonlike manier te sien.




Met ons liefde.

    Love this!
    My perspective is... "In the box thinking" three figures. One left and one right and a child figure touching the figure on the right. The square and lines gives a perspective of the inside of a box.

Wakkerstroom Klassieke Musiekfees 2025 20 - 23 Maart 2025 “God sprei die hemel uit oor die leë ruimte,  Hy laat die aarde hang waar niks is nie.  Hy versamel die water in die wolke, en hulle skeur nie onder die las nie.  Hy plaas die horison op die see,  'n grens tussen lig en donker.  Dit is maar die begin van sy dade,  ons hoor net die gefluister van sy woorde.  Maar die volle krag van sy dade, wie kan dit verstaan?” ‭‭Job ‭26‬:‭7‬-‭8‬, ‭10‬, ‭14‬ ‭AFR83‬‬                           Dit is weer daardie tyd van die jaar! Herfs is oral sigbaar en voelbaar en daar is die geur van kreatiwiteit en voorbereidings in die lug wanneer jy ons klein dorpie binnekom. Hierdie naweek bied ons ons jaarlikse Wakkerstroom Klassieke Musiekfees aan. Wonderlike, talentvolle musikante van oral, tegniese spanne en die mense wat hulle optredes sal bywoon, stroom na Wakkerstroom. Musiek is nie die enigste item ...

Lessons in Sunbirdish (1)

By
I have no way of proving that God exists. For a long, long time I believed because I didn't think I had a choice. If it is a choice between heaven and hell, you do what it takes to secure your celestial seat. Somehow I never stopped to consider why I so strongly believed in a heaven and hell, but wasn't nearly as sure that there's a God holding the keys to them. Then the sunbirds came. Slowly but surely I am being taught the dialect I need to converse with God. Or rather, to follow on what seems to be a trail that God leaves me. Being just up ahead and beckoning me all the while, it's not a chase after or a search for God, but rather a joint venture with God scouting and reporting back when my spirit runs low on this journey through life. In  A Rare Find  and  Bird on my window sill  I touched on synchronicity. I have come to believe that consciously living our moments, awakens us to the fact that there are more things in this life than meet the eyeball. Things t...

Whistle while you work

By
Drawing by Ron Leishman When last did you whistle while working? When last did you hear someone else whistle while working? Somehow it bothers me that whistling has become an almost absent element in our work. The sound of a person whistling a tune while busy somewhere in the house or out in the workshop conveys something of an underlying happiness, satisfaction and contentment. An enjoyment of the work itself. The tune need not be flawless. Applying more air than sound won’t lead to disqualification, as long as the intention is there. Whistling can even be replaced by singing in all that I’ve said up to now. The same principles apply. The absence of any of these two activities bothers me because it says something about us doing the work and the type of work that we do. Can it be that our type of labour in this 21 st century is not conducive to either whistling or singing? What type of work is that then – draining, stressful, pressured? Or are our conclusions ...
