| Примечания: In
"Bitter Gulfs," a 20-foot wide watercolor, Ford has chosen the
albatross as his aesthetic messenger. The painter referenced "L'Albatross"
written by Charles Baudelaire in 1861, for its comparison of the
poet to the albatross. "Maladroit et gauche," the albatross
seems to be a less than spectacular bird and yet, the poem is
about men chasing such an unlikely specimen. Likewise, in "The
Rime of the Ancient Mariner," Samuel Coleridge treats the
albatross as a harbinger of disaster. The title "Bitter Gulfs"
seems to be a fitting and fierce political jab, while the
painting itself seems to coyly take a bow.
