I had zero guidance to go on for either, given the status of the artists, creating all their lives in relative obscurity. I had to rely entirely on my own thoughts and impressions, but also lots of freedom to speculate. I have nothing but admiration for these women even older than I, who never gave up, despite lack of even a hint of support from the established art world. For the latter, I felt there were politically important topics delivered without shock and awe or any other attention-grabbing means, just trickling slowly, subtly, intelligently into your consciousness, coloring your emotional responses. For the former I admired that the process of making art continues even when you have said all you had to say on the intellectual front. It is enough if only beauty flows at times, without pretense. And flow it did.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I very much hope that 2023 provides more opportunities to stretch myself as a writer while having my mind stretched by beauty and\/or meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC_0052.jpg?resize=890%2C592&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC_0052.jpg?resize=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC_0052.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC_0052.jpg?resize=768%2C510&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC_0052.jpg?resize=280%2C185&amp;ssl=1 280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC_0052.jpg?resize=560%2C372&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC_0052.jpg?resize=80%2C53&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC_0052.jpg?w=1440&amp;ssl=1 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VsR11uFzBJg\">Music<\/a>: grandiosity, gold, German romanticism &#8211; you surely know what&#8217;s coming!
