Will Norman: 1904-1980
Defender of a Universe
Each of your paintings
held a world
& your brushes
were engines
traversing pastel empyreans.
With jet fuel
in every tube of paint
you traveled places where
geometric shapes
danced with fauvist grace
In your studio clouds of cotton
rivers of cappuccino
and fields of canvas mixed
Now but a fraction
of those visions
still exist.
Most are discarded
or boxed up
in the attics of memory
Will Norman?
Never heard of him
Who indeed
was he?
T Newfields
(1980 - 2008)
