Pictures and Words

Gemälde: A.Wende

stories are told with words
pictures tell stories
a life time story is told with words
and it is told with pictures
words are clearer
are they?

we can play with words
we can use them for what we want to say and for what we don’t want to say
pictures leave a lot open
they leave room for association
pictures are made by hand (manually)
words are written by hand (manually)
words can create pictures
pictures can talk without words
pictures live in unconsciousness and come out of unconsciousness
pictures can be made by brain and they can be made by feelings and by heart
sometimes they all work together
best case
words can be told by brain and they can be told by feelings and by heart
best case
we need words to express how we think and how we feel
we need words to reach each other
to get into communication
words are spoken
words are written
on paper
on canvas
on wood
on everything the writer finds or wants
in the beginning was the word
we need pictures to express how we think and how we feel
we paint pictures to express what we cannot say with words
artists paint pictures
they say things without words
they talk through colour or material and artwork like installation or sculpture
to tell something
to communicate
to reach others
pictures are painted
on canvas
on paper
on wood
on everything the artist finds or wants
in the beginning there were symbols
to talk
to tell stories
to create memories of things that should not be forgotten
pictures are symbols
words are symbols
pictures talk
pictures remind us
pictures touch us
words talk
words remind us
words touch us
we need pictures
we need words
we are nothing without words and pictures
we are nothing without symbols
