Every Heart Vibrates To That Iron String Oil on canvas, 20"x20" Sold Every Heart Vibrates To That Iron String is a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson that's always had a certain eerie resonance for me. There's perhaps an attempt to link Emerson's metaphor of the body as a stringed instrument to the tall vertical lines of two dark trees standing in front of the grove and that stretch straight up beyond the top of the canvas.This particular grove stood near the house of American painter George Inness, and was in fact transposed from one of his Montclair, New Jersey landscapes.There's a barely visible human figure, bent forward as though deep in thought, walking under the trees (camouflaged as a tree trunk, the figure is the second to last vertical line on the right). - Click on the image for a full-size higher-res photo -
