I-gypsy yokulala. Ubuciko obuhle obunemigqa kaHenri Rousseau

Kubukeka sengathi u-Henri Rousseau ubonise isigameko esesabekayo. Kungene umhlaseli endodeni elele. Kodwa awukho umuzwa wokukhathazeka. Ngesizathu esithile, siyaqiniseka ukuthi ibhubesi ngeke lihlasele i-gypsy.

Ukukhanya kwenyanga kuwela kancane kukho konke. Ingubo yokugqoka ye-gypsy ibonakala ikhanya ngemibala ye-fluorescent. Futhi kunemigqa eminingi ye-wavy esithombeni. Ingubo enemithende nomcamelo onemigqa. Izinwele zamaGypsy kanye nomhlwenga wengonyama. Izintambo ze-Mandala nezintaba ezingemuva.

Okuthambile, ukukhanya okumangalisayo nemigqa ebushelelezi akukwazi ukuhlanganiswa nesigcawu esinegazi. Sinesiqiniseko sokuthi ibhubesi lizomnukela lona wesifazane liqhubeke nomsebenzi walo.

Ngokusobala, u-Henri Rousseau uyi-primitivist. Isithombe esinezinhlangothi ezimbili, imibala egqamile ngamabomu. Konke lokhu sikubona ku-"Gypsy" yakhe.

Kodwa into emangalisa kakhulu ukuthi ukuzifundisa, umdwebi wayeqiniseka ukuthi ungumuntu ongokoqobo! Ngakho-ke imininingwane enjalo "engokoqobo": imigoqo emcamelweni ovela ekhanda elilele, umhlwenga wengonyama uqukethe imicu enqunywe ngokucophelela, umthunzi wesifazane oqamba amanga (nakuba ingonyama ingenasithunzi).

Umdwebi openda ngamabomu ngesitayela sakudala angayinaki imininingwane enjalo. Umhlwenga webhubesi wawungaba yinqwaba eqinile. Futhi mayelana nokugoqa komcamelo, sasingeke sikhulume nhlobo.

Yingakho i-Rousseau ihluke kakhulu. Kwakungekho omunye umculi onjalo emhlabeni owayezibheka njengeqiniso, empeleni wayengeyena.
