Oil on Canvas. Michael Marisi Ornstein Bright Morning, North Tower. Oil on Canvas. “That was New York City on September 11th, that morning. It’s a picture of two people who basically are leaving their apartment after an evening of just meeting or this or that. Or its two people who left their apartment on the morning of September 11th and they just went on to work and never came home.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661fd13d38e8f449938f132b/b22bb8f0-ca7b-4f5a-8545-f6ce1d4a90ce/deep-forest-oil-on-canvas.jpg Poetry & Art Archive - Perspectives © Michael Marisi Ornstein - Deep Forest. Oil on canvas. Michael Marisi Ornstein “Part of series of paintings I painted when my daughter, Angelina, was born. I had a studio in the basement of my building on 94th and Madison, when I moved in with my wife. My superintendent threw me a room in the bottom floor, in the basement. So I stretched canvasses across the walls, and they were like old skins, it was like painting on deer-hide or something – it was amazing. And they’re tapestry paintings basically and Deep Forest – I painted with my infant daughter on my chest in a sling. She was fast asleep a lot of the time. But sometimes she was awake watching me painting. The series is called “Songs for Angelina” and they’re all about music.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661fd13d38e8f449938f132b/d5b1a265-465c-4b10-8e7f-7cd23c3b2dff/shelter-oil-on-canvas-ornstein.jpg Poetry & Art Archive - Perspectives © Michael Marisi Ornstein - Shelter. Oil on canvas. Michael Marisi Ornstein “That’s just like the eternal woman, life, the beginning and the end and the middle and everything put together. That’s Shelter. I was raised by women and the world was raised by women. Ancient cultures worshiped women – Ancient Egypt, that was a matriarchal society. In statues and depictions, the woman always had her arms around the man – because this is my man, this is my property. That’s where life springs from, the beauty, the muse, that’s everything. The whole world is about women. And men are left to grapple with, why am I here? I have a son and a daughter and me and my wife. And it’s just like how do you navigate that, and they’re very different (my son and my daughter) – but they’re the same. We’re all grappling with the yin and the yang. Some people ask me in some of my paintings if that’s a man or is that a woman, I don’t want to answer that. Leave it open.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661fd13d38e8f449938f132b/e4f843f5-6040-4061-8333-7c2763aa7416/burn-oil-on-canvas-ornstein.jpg Poetry & Art Archive - Perspectives © Michael Marisi Ornstein - Burn. Oil on canvas. Michael Marisis Ornstein. “A family in turmoil. I grew up in a Jewish-Sicilian family. A lot of yelling a lot of love, a lot of crazy turmoil. Everything was always turned up to full volume all the time. Whether it was absolute happiness or crazy fighting and yelling. But there was always a lot of love there. And I know I’m not the only one in a household of crazy alive people. But I certainly grew up in a household of crazy alive people. And that’s where my head was at in that painting… see the little heart?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661fd13d38e8f449938f132b/6b85e911-2754-4ada-8f1a-21d4be95ded8/sunday-park-ornstein.jpg Poetry & Art Archive - Perspectives © Michael Marisi Ornstein - Sunday Park. Oil on canvas. Michael Marisi Ornstein “Sunday Park is a couple who put on their best clothes and they go spend the day in the park. And here they are e ice-skating – they don’t even have ice skates. But here they are ice skating in Central Park. And they only put on they’re best and only best clothes and they go to the park and have a beautiful day. And that’s them. I love them”. https://www.femficatio.com/poetry-and-art-archive/tensions-over-steaming-coffee-nithyanbspraghavan monthly 0.5 2026-01-01 https://www.femficatio.com/poetry-and-art-archive/observing-rain-from-local-trains-souradeeproy monthly 0.5 2026-01-01 https://www.femficatio.com/poetry-and-art-archive/the-squeeze-malkia-charleenbspnocry monthly 0.5 2026-01-01 https://www.femficatio.com/poetry-and-art-archive/category/Art monthly 0.5 https://www.femficatio.com/poetry-and-art-archive/category/Painters monthly 0.5 https://www.femficatio.com/poetry-and-art-archive/tag/Writers monthly 0.5 https://www.femficatio.com/poetry-and-art-archive/tag/Poetry monthly 0.5 https://www.femficatio.com/poetry-and-art-archive/tag/Michael+Marisi+Ornstein monthly 0.5 https://www.femficatio.com/poetry-and-art-archive/tag/Poets monthly 0.5 https://www.femficatio.com/commentary-essays-archive daily 0.75 2025-12-27 https://www.femficatio.com/commentary-essays-archive/black-is-the-colour-femfictis-interview-with-aldonbsptambellini monthly 0.5 2025-12-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661fd13d38e8f449938f132b/7bc23bf2-4915-4616-88a7-31015c72c094/aldo_tambellini_black_zero_web_0.jpg Commentary & Essay Archive - Black is the Colour… Femficātiō’s interview with Aldo Tambellini - Art Aldo Tambellini: Black Zero beautiful recreation of the 1965 performance at The Tanks, Tate Modern Museum of Art, 13 October 2012 Photo: © Tate Photography/Gabrielle Fonseca Johnson, 2012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661fd13d38e8f449938f132b/3137a69d-00e5-46c7-882e-2b3d99591ddf/from-brainscan-90-by-aldo-tambellini.webp Commentary & Essay Archive - Black is the Colour… Femficātiō’s interview with Aldo Tambellini - Poetry Excerpt of Poem “from brainscan 90” by Aldo Tambellini. http://www.aldotambellini.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661fd13d38e8f449938f132b/b0c16994-2c8c-4128-a9b7-fd9f42195a90/aldofimmak_r1_1191201652.jpg Commentary & Essay Archive - Black is the Colour… Femficātiō’s interview with Aldo Tambellini - Make it stand out Aldo Tambellini with film reels, 1967 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661fd13d38e8f449938f132b/bc4ee96e-c1ea-489d-9e77-e0a758ae4999/therebel.jpg Commentary & Essay Archive - Black is the Colour… Femficātiō’s interview with Aldo Tambellini - Aldo Tambellini: The Rebel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661fd13d38e8f449938f132b/fdbb4746-3cfb-4b9f-9fe3-ebd88e5a1272/the-beautiful-aldo-and-anna.webp Commentary & Essay Archive - Black is the Colour… Femficātiō’s interview with Aldo Tambellini - Aldo Tambellini (left) and Aldo Salamone (centre) after the Tate Performance 13th October 2012.
