Last Mosaic

Haunted by three thousand years of artists who made pilgrimage to the Eternal City, collaborators Elizabeth Cooperman and Thomas Walton gather impressions from the ruinous streets in and around Rome. The result is a literary mosaic that aligns itself with the ecstatic baroque of Bernini, the concentrated vision of Caravaggio, and the sublime uncertainty of Keats, as it resists the forces of "another dark age."

Dazzling with image and anecdote, with comedy and cobblestones, with headless statues and the bright robes of street performers, with shadow and cicada and shock of light, THE LAST MOSAIC is an aesthetic call to arms to "listen," a battle cry to "be impressed," and a plea to "get lost."

Bantuit de trei mii de ani de artisti care au facut pelerinaj in Orasul Etern, colaboratorii Elizabeth Cooperman si Thomas Walton aduna impresii de pe strazile ruinate din si din jurul Romei. Rezultatul este un mozaic literar care se aliniaza cu barocul extatic al lui Bernini, viziunea concentrata a lui Caravaggio si sublima incertitudine a lui Keats, deoarece rezista fortelor „unei alte ere intunecate”. Orbitor cu imagine si anecdota, cu comedie si pietre pietruite, cu statui fara cap si robele stralucitoare ale artistilor de strada, cu umbra si cicala si soc de lumina, ULTIMUL MOSAIC este un apel estetic la arme pentru a „asculta”, un strigat de lupta pentru ” fii impresionat "si o rugaminte de„ a te pierde ".
