Fugues
Dagmar Bergmann was born in Hamburg, the daughter of refugees
from East Germany. From an early age she felt attracted by the call of the fugues, above all as a form of escape
in search of an identity that had been erased by poverty and oblivion. The landscapes of those fugues were blue,
a promise of freedom and truth like the fragments of sky Northern clouds sometimes reveal.
Between winds and tides the artist set up her easel and sought to express the turbulence of fugues ("Mistral", "Four winds", "Youth", "Fugues") and their secret harmony ("Ode to joy", "Night sheds its leaves", "Night transfigured", "Time after time"), setting free sounds and fragrances ("Sunrise jazz", "Perfume", "The song of the Mariachi") which invite us to escape. © Dagmar Bergmann, June 2009 |
