“Un eterno sognare / colmo del più dolce esubero di vita / senza tregua – con l’angoscia dentro, nell’anima / divampa, brucia, cresce nella lotta / crampo del mio cuore. / Ponderare – e folle mi agito di smania e desiderio. / Il tormento del pensiero è impotente / senza senso, non raggiunge le idee. / Parla la lingua del creatore e dona / Demoni! Spezzate la violenza! / La vostra lingua – Il vostro segno – Il vostro potere.”

No profundiza mucho en la vida/obra del pintor, pero se entiende porque es más una colección pictórica. La obra es magnífica

I'm very impressed with this collection from taschen. Would recommend to every art student for its images. The pictures have high resolution and average size.
