EDITORS COMMENTS

Captivated by the melodies of Chopin Concert Radziwill, an admirer finds solace in the enchanting notes that resonate through their soul. Exploring the depths of passion and desire, they delve into the ancient wisdom of Kama Sutra, depicted beautifully in an 18th-century Indian miniature painting from Bahsoli. Just like Marie Antoinette and Fersen's forbidden love story, this admirer yearns for a connection that transcends societal boundaries. Intrigued by seduction and allure, they engage in a playful game of strip tease with Theatre suit and Play Boy cards. The sensuality portrayed in the 19th-century Indian manuscript illumination from the Pahari School ignites their imagination further. As if caught up in a farce by William Barribal, this admirer navigates through unrequited love, reminiscent of Dennis Brain's heartfelt letter from 1955. Seeking inspiration beyond earthly bounds, they find themselves drawn to Apollo - God of Light and Eloquence - accompanied by Urania - Muse of Astronomy. In moments of introspection akin to Napoleon meditating before Frederick II's tomb, this admirer contemplates profound emotions that stir within. Amidst it all lies India's rich heritage captured in stone carvings depicting Hindu lovers entwined eternally. Like Biarritz Beach Belles basking under the sun’s golden rays, this captivated soul longs for reciprocated affection. Through these diverse hints scattered across time and art forms emerges a portrait of an ardent admirer seeking fulfillment amidst life’s intricate tapestry.
