Tríptico de Luces y Sombras
Luis Eduardo Aute
Triptych of Lights and Shadows
Velázquez
Painted the air
Goya, his absence
One
Stated reality
The other denounced it
Velázquez
Revealed the photograph
Goya
Violated it
One
Impressed the light
The other
Expressed his shadows
Velázquez
Reflected the mirrors
Goya
Reflected his illusions
Light and shadow
Shadow and light
Velázquez painted the face
And Goya painted his cross
Velázquez
Dilated the pupil
Goya
Betrayed it
One
Was the silent music
The other
His mute scream
Velázquez
Painted the sunset of the myth
Goya
Mythified the dawn of evil
Velázquez
Is God
Goya
His death
Light and shadow
Shadow and light
Velázquez painted the face
And Goya painted his cross
And Picasso? Ah, Picasso, Picasso
Don Pablo gave birth to the end of painting
With his immortal eye
