Giottoli's | Commenti | Gallery | piccolo è bello
In questa galleria ho raggruppato alcuni dei sassi più piccoli che ho raccolto nel corso degli anni. Sono ciottoli la cui dimensione massima non supera i 4 cm (ma in molti è meno di 3), eppure tra loro si trovano diverse perle di assoluta bellezza e sono forse anche quelli cui sono più affezionato, perché, unendo all'intrinseca povertà del ciottolo l'altra umile qualità francescana della piccolezza, sono in qualche modo l'espressione più perfetta dell'estetica di Giottolandia.
Small is beauty
I have reserved this part of my gallery to the smallest among the pebbles I have picked up through the years. They are at most 4 cm big (many of them being less than 3 cm) and yet there are some that are real pearls of beauty. Perhaps they are the ones I am particularly fond of, because, sharing the two typical franciscan qualities of being as poor as a stone can be, and small like a humble creature generally is, they are somehow the most perfect expression of the aesthetic of Giottoland.
Klein ist schön
In dieser Galerie habe ich einige der kleinsten Steine versammelt, die ich im Lauf der letzten Jahre gefunden habe. Sie sind höchstens 4 cm lang, bei vielen sind es weniger als 3 cm. Trotzdem gibt es darunter diverse Perlen absoluter Schönheit und es sind vielleicht diese, die ich am meisten mag, weil sie – indem sie die dem Kieselstein innewohnende Armut mit der bescheidenen franziskanischen Eigenschaft der Kleinheit verbinden – irgendwie der vollständigste Ausdruck der Ästhetik von „Giottoland“ sind.
