Quilts of Lucinda Ward Honstain and G A Kulkarni...जी ए कुलकर्णी

Today July 10 2015 is 92nd Birth Anniversary of G A Kulkarni



Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All-Too-Human:

"The thinker or artist whose better self has fled into his works feels an almost malicious joy when he sees his body and spirit slowly broken into and destroyed by time; it is as if he were in a corner, watching a thief at work on his safe, all the while knowing that it is empty and that all his treasures have been rescued."


जी ए कुलकर्णी:

"...-ही सारी माणसे, त्यांनी आयुष्याला केलेले मायेचे स्पर्श, त्यांच्या या स्पर्शाचे लहान गोल आरसे बसवलेले वस्त्र पांघरून आपण येथपर्यंत निभावत आलो!"

('स्वामी',1973, 'पिंगळा वेळ', 1977)

Vault, Slate's history blog informed in March 2014:

"Lucinda Ward Honstain, resident of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, pieced and sewed this quilt in 1867. It depicts her view of life before, during, and right after the Civil War...In her design, Honstain juxtaposed personal and political events..."
