tänään on luemma Tove Janssonin päivä, niin sen kunniaksi satunnainen katkelma kodittomuudesta, filosofiasta ja omenaviinistä.

...ja hetkonen irl myös olennon elinympäristön tuhoutumisesta ajattelemattoman rakennusprojektin vuoksi. tämä oli nyt kyllä freudilainen lipsahdus.

"It's funny about paths and rivers," he mused, "you see them go by and suddenly you feel upset and want to be somewhere else -- wherever the path or river is going, perhaps."

Remembering #ToveJansson on her birthday

Today, 9th August, is the anniversary of #ToveJansson's birth in 1914. Here's my review of The Exploits of #Moominpappa (1950) supposedly completed on this date, posted for #ToveTrove.

”Först ska man gå sju varv runt sig själv medan man brummar lite och stampar I marken. Sen går man baklänges till en brunn och tittar ner i den. Och då får man se den man ska gifta sig med i vattnett!

Och hur får man upp honom? frågade Filifjonkan uppskakad.”

"…moss is terribly frail. Step on it once and it rises the next time it rains. The second time, it doesn't rise back up. And the third time you step on moss, it dies. Eider ducks are the same way – the third time you frighten them up from their nests, they never come back."

#ToveJansson #Illustrations from moomin this one is of snufkin.

I dont know why the road made me think of her work. It could be though that while much more whimsical her art and writing has a similar fascination with dreamlike apocalypse.

Comet in moomin land captures this the best.

But all I have read of her writing is a kind of haunted joy found only in the bleakness of survival in a world of sorrow.

"I had a cousin once who studied trigonometry until his whiskers drooped, and when he had learned it all, a Groke came and ate him up." #books #tovejansson

Yleensä nämä Hesarin "multimedia-artikkelit" ovat rasittavia ja teennäisiä. Mieluummin lukisi vain tavallisen lehtijutun. Mutta analyysi Tove Jansonin Omakuvasta on piristävä poikkeus.

Katso kuvaa | Tove Janssonilla oli särkynyt sydän ja mies, joka tapaili myös ”maalattua blondia Roobertin­kadulla” – yksi teos paljastaa taiteilijasta enemmän kuin olemme tienneet: https://www.hs.fi/kulttuuri/art-2000009465151.html?share=536fdacc1efc5419cd7197b470f2b3ec
