거리만이 그리움을 낳는 건 아니다
아무리 네가 가까이 있어도 너는
충분히 실컷 가깝지 않았었다

더욱 더욱 가깝게

 거리만이 아니라 모든 게

의식까지도 가깝게 가고 싶었던 것이다

그리움은

그리움        . . . . . . . . . .        전혜린 (田惠麟, 1934-1965, 대한민국 수필가, 번역문학가)

그리움과 먼 곳으로 훌훌 떠나 버리고 싶은 갈망

비하만의 시구(詩句)처럼

'식탁을 털고 나부끼는 머리를 하고' 아무곳이나 떠나고 싶은 것이다

먼 곳에의 그리움(Fernweh)!

모르는 얼굴과 마음과 언어 사이에서 혼자이고 싶은 마음

텅 빈 위(胃)와 향수를 안고

돌로 포장된 음습한 길을 거닐고 싶은 욕망

아무튼 낯익은 곳이 아닌 다른 곳

모르는 곳에 존재하고 싶은 욕구가 항상 나에게는 있다

Self-Portrait with Brush and Palette
Lesser Ury - 1910

오늘날 폴란드 땅인 비른바움(Birnbaum)에서 제빵 마이스터의 아들로 태어난 그는 12살이 되던 해에

베를린으로 이사했고 18세인 1879년부터 1880년 까지 뒤셀도르프 쿤스트 아카데미에서 회화 전공으로 수학한다.

이후 브뤼셀에서 학업을 마친 뒤 파리로 건너가 프랑스 화가들과 교류를 이어가며 값진 예술적 경험을 한다.

1887년 부터 다시 베를린으로 돌아와 활동할 때 이미 베를린 예술계의 최고 권위를 가졌던

아돌프 멘첼(Adolph von Menzel)의 추천으로 베를린 미술 아카데미의 장학금을 받을 정도로 실력을 인정받았다.

이후 로비 스코린트로 하여금 베를린 분리파(Munich Secession)의 회원이 된다.

19 세기의 마지막 몇 년 동안 독일과 오스트리아에서 진보적 인 예술가들에 의해 형성된 몇 개의 분리주의 중

하나이다. 그의 작품은 교외풍경, 도시 풍경 및 실내 장면으로, 어두운 실내의 차분한 색조에서 밤의 가로등

효과에 이르기까지 인상파적 방식으로 처리되었으며 눈부신 빛을 표현한다. 

Ury는 특히 밤의 카페 장면과 비오는 거리의 그림으로 유명하다.
