The Power of Art - Bernini

The complete series: http://gekos.no/workshop/video.html
Perhaps the greatest sculptor of the 17th century and an outstanding architect as well. Bernini created the Baroque style of sculpture and developed it to such an extent that other artists are of only minor importance in a discussion of that style.
A student of Classical sculpture, Bernini possessed the unique ability to capture, in marble, the essence of a narrative moment with a dramatic naturalistic realism which was almost shocking. This ensured that he effectively became the successor of Michelangelo, far outshining other sculptors of his generation, including his rival, Alessandro Algardi. His talent extended beyond the confines of his sculpture to consideration of the setting in which it would be situated; his ability to synthesise sculpture, painting and architecture into a coherent conceptual and visual whole has been termed by the art historian, Irving Lavin, the 'unity of the visual arts'.

Why Beauty Matters

'Philosopher Roger Scruton presents a provocative essay on the importance of beauty in the arts and in our lives. In the 20th century, Scruton argues, art, architecture and music turned their backs on beauty, making a cult of ugliness and leading us into a spiritual desert. Using the thoughts of philosophers from Plato to Kant, and by talking to artists Michael Craig-Martin and Alexander Stoddart, Scruton analyses where art went wrong and presents his own impassioned case for restoring beauty to its traditional position at the centre of our civilisation.'

Musée des Beaux Arts, Poem by WH Auden

We can imagine WH Auden visiting the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique in Brussels, and meditating on the art of Pieter Bruegel (The Elder). He focuses specifically on "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus." Icarus was the son of master craftsman Daedalus, who made wings made of feathers and wax, with which they could both escape prison. Daedalus instructed his son not to fly too close to the sun, but out of sheer delight Icarus did not heed this. The wax melted, and he fell to his death in the sea. Auden's poem is a homage to Breugel's insights into the unflinching ordinariness of everyday life, which for better or for worse speaks to our human lot. It was a masterful painting, rendered masterfully into the art form of poetry!

Here's the poem, from an analysis on this site: http://poetrypages.lemon8.nl/life/musee/museebeauxarts.htm



About suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters; how well, they understood
Its human position; how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along;
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.
In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water; and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on

THE OLD MASTERS

These Art Museums often seem lustreless,
sterile and as impersonal as mausoleums:
they could never have been what the great
Master Painters would have wished or wanted.
Their marvels screwed into the very walls;
incarcerated anyway under layers
of glaze and slowly-darkening varnish.

Yet unexpectedly, bizarrely, today,
a gaggle of unseen, journeyman decorators
have flooded the gallery with the alien reek
of fresh, new paint. A suppressed coughing
ripples the disturbed air and heralds stranger
metaphysical transformations: for parched
pigments on scores of antique canvasses,
arid oils on old wood panels exhale

a sustained, but distinctly audible, sigh.
And now, the Old Masters themselves,
- invisible in adjoining studios or chambers -
bend once more over kettles of oak-tree bark
and bovine urine. There's the sound
of lapis lazuli, no doubt, being smashed
and ground down to a vivid dust;

the preparation of linseed and walnut oils.
They habitually draw together into pairs
or groups to share good news; review
fortuitous innovations, techniques and tricks,
and thus conspire - in that stimulating stench
of wood-smoke, piss and stale hoof-glue -
to delight, to move and utterly astonish you.

Maybe live for the dark leaves
Shake the floor, the seeds come spinning down
All night, let's go all night
Through your hair giving me those green eyes
Life kills me, life kills me
Finally we've found the sweetness
Turning heaven over upside down
The first light, seeing the first light
Through your hand I can feel the green mind
Life kills me oh life kills me
Praise be live for the dark leaves
Shake the floor swinging rough and round
All night let's go all night
In the air, we can breathe our belief
Life kills me...

Pierre-Auguste Renoir - Retratos - Música Debussy

Pierre Auguste Renoir, uno de los más célebres pintores franceses (1841-1919) fue el penúltimo de cinco hijos. Su padre era un modesto artesano, que ante las dificultades del sustento, se trasladó con su familia a París en 1845, cuando Renoir tenía cuatro años.Vivió sus primeros años en barrios proletarios donde trabajó como decorador de porcelanas y pintor de abanicos.

Comenzó su andadura en una tienda de porcelana China de París, donde pintaba temas que emanan dulzura y sentimentalismo heredados del Rococó. Después pasó al estudio de Gleyre, donde contactó con pintores impresionistas como Sisley y Monet. En sus primeros años, también le influyó la escuela de Barbizon, sobre todo la pintura de Gustave Courbet. A Renoir siempre se le ha considerado el representante del Impresionismo más sensual, y uno de los impresionistas más reconocidos por los temas de flores y escenas dulces de niños y mujeres.

Renoir posee una vibrante y luminosa paleta que hace de él un impresionista muy personal. Destaca especialmente, por la representación de la vida y la búsqueda de la belleza interior que lleva a cabo en sus retratos. Normalmente en los rostros de mujeres o niñas donde consigue expresar la inocencia, la armonía del ser y una bondad expansiva

El desnudo femenino es un tema que le obsesionó, sus formas gruesas pueden recordar a Rubens y su pincelada suelta y de gran cromatismo a Tiziano.

Su técnica se basa en la luz potente de la piel, que contrasta con otros colores potentes. El brillo de los ojos, destacado con los negros de pupila y pestañas. La pincelada que genera un dibujo perfilado en el sitio exacto pero sin ser un dibujo duro ni realista, sino libre y dinámico. La técnica impresionista permite crear una atmósfera que nace del propio rostro.

En 1878, Renoir se alejó del grupo impresionista y buscó el éxito en los salones oficiales. El abandono de los principios impresionistas se acentuó cuando, a partir de 1881, numerosos viajes a Normandía, Argel, Florencia, Venecia, Roma, Nápoles y Sicilia despiertan su admiración por cierta idea clásica de lo bello (la pintura pompeyana, Ingres, Rafael) que le llevó a cuestionarse el valor de la espontaneidad de su técnica anterior, alejándose progresivamente de los efectos atmosféricos en busca de una pintura más definida. El tema de la mujer, por el que el artista mostró claramente, durante toda su vida, un gran interés, adopta, por lo general, un tratamiento de gran consistencia y de resonancias clásicas.

Las penurias económicas de Renoir terminaron con el éxito de la exposición impresionista de 1886 en Nueva York. En 1892 realizó una muestra antológica en los salones de Durand-Ruel. Dos años más tarde nació su hijo Jean (el cineasta Jean Renoir) y Gabrielle Renard, prima de su mujer Aline, entró con dieciséis años en la casa del pintor para ayudar en la tareas domésticas, aunque acabó convirtiéndose en su modelo favorita. Jean escribió: "El espíritu inherente a los niños y niñas, a las criaturas y los árboles, pobladores del mundo que él creó, encerraba tanta pureza como el cuerpo desnudo de Gabrielle. Y finalmente, Renoir revelaba su propio ser a través de esta desnudez."

A partir de ese momento los éxitos se suceden. Sin embargo, ni su artritis, que le lleva a instalarse en la Provenza en busca de un clima más cálido, es operado en 1910 de las dos rodillas, una mano, y un pie, pero ni el alistamiento de sus hijos Pierre y Jean durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, ni incluso la muerte de su esposa en 1915, logran disminuir su entusiasmo por la pintura.

Body Nature - Marta De Menezes

"During the last thousands of years humankind has tried to manipulate Nature. Today’s dogs, cats, horses, and crops are evidence of what has been achieved by artificial selection. In the last 50 years significant scientific advances have been made, allowing the modification of life in an extremely controlled way. Biotechnology was born to explore these new tools for the benefit of humankind. However, the remarkable tools of modern biology are seen with hope and fear, simultaneously. It is becoming possible to develop new therapies for uncurable diseases, but at the same time the public fears misuse of this powerful technology. As society becomes aware of biotechnology, with all its hopes and fears, artists have started to include references to biotechnology in their works. Furthermore, modern biology and biotechnology offer the opportunity to create art using biology as new media. We are witnessing the birth of a new form of art: art created in test-tubes, using laboratories as art studios.

My work has been focused on the possibilities that modern biology offers to artists. I have been trying not only to portrait the recent advances of biological sciences, but to incorporate biological material as new art media: DNA, proteins and cells offer an opportunity to explore novel ways of representation and communication. Consequently, although lacking formal scientific training, my recent artistic activity has been conducted in research laboratories."

Picasso: periodo blu

Il "periodo blu" (1901-1904) consiste di dipinti cupi realizzati nei toni del blu e del turchese, solo occasionalmente ravvivati da altri colori. Si tratta, come dice il nome stesso, di una pittura monocromatica, giocata sui colori freddi, dove i soggetti umani rappresentati, appartenenti alla categoria degli emarginati e degli sfruttati, sembrano sospesi in un'atmosfera malinconica che simboleggia l'esigenza di interiorizzazione: l'umanità rappresentata è quella deprimente di creature vinte e sole che appaiono oppresse e senza speranza. Tra le opere di questo periodo ricordiamo: Donna con lo scialletto blu (Collezione privata, 1902), Celestina (Coll. privata, 1903), Donna che stira (New York, Guggenheim Mus., 1904). L'inizio del periodo è incerto tra la primavera del 1901 in Spagna o l'autunno dello stesso anno a Parigi.
Nel suo austero uso del colore e nei soggetti (prostitute e mendicanti sono soggetti frequenti) Picasso fu influenzato da un viaggio attraverso la Spagna e dal suicidio dell'amico Carlos Casagemas. Dall'inizio del 1901 dipinse diversi ritratti postumi di Casagemas, culminanti nel triste dipinto allegorico La Vita (1903) oggi conservato presso il museo d'arte di Cleveland. Lo stesso umore pervade la nota acquaforte Il pasto frugale (1904) che ritrae un uomo cieco e una donna, entrambi emaciati, seduti ad una tavola praticamente vuota. Anche la cecità è un tema ricorrente nei lavori di Picasso di questo periodo, rappresentata inoltre nella tela Il pasto del cieco (1903, conservato presso il Metropolitan Museum of Art) e nel ritratto Celestina (1903). Altri soggetti frequenti sono gli artisti, gli acrobati e gli arlecchini. Questi ultimi, dipinti nel tipico costume a quadri, diventano un simbolo personale dell'artista.

O Mestre da Vida

John Talla (Trevor Morgan) é um talentoso e problemático estudante de artes de 18 anos que quer se tornar um grande artista. Ao conhecer Nicoli Seroff (Armin Mueller-Stahl), um genial pintor, ele insiste para que o velho mestre o ensine a pintar. Mas Seroff não só desistiu da arte, mas também da vida e quer ficar em paz.

No entanto, Seroff convida John para passar uma temporada em sua casa da Pensilvânia. Juntos, eles dão um ao outro um precioso presente: o estudante aprende a ver o mundo através dos olhos do talentoso mestre e o mestre aprende a ver a vida atrvés dos olhos da inocência novamente

Cristo si è fermato a Eboli

Beginning of Christ Stopped at Eboli
directed by Francesco Rosi (1979)
starring Gian Maria Volonte
music by Piero Piccioni
"Many years have gone by, years of war and of what men call History. Buffeted here and there at random I have not been able to return to my peasants as i promised when I left them, and I do not know when, if ever, I can keep my promise. But closed in one room, in a world apart, I am glad to travel in my memory to that other world, hedged in by custom and sorrow, cut off from History and the State, eternally patient, to that land without comport or solace, where the peasant lives out his motionless civilization on barren ground in remote poverty, and in the presence of death." - beginning of the book, Christ Stopped at Eboli

escolhas

"Se me dessem a escolher entre viver para sempre ou morrer quando o momento chegar, não hesitaria por um único segundo – porque a perfeição do que é finito não se compara à ilusão da eternidade. Não me interpretem mal - acredito na passagem para um outro país, para uma outra estrela -, mas convenci-me há muito que esta viagem existe em função do que dela fizermos. Se estamos no comboio contrariados... com a aproximação do destino nem sequer seremos capazes de apreciar a viagem… contudo, se mantivermos a ilusão e os olhos abertos, quando nos avisarem de que será na «próxima paragem», parecer-nos-á tão natural como um dia de infância. Tão natural como o lugar onde verdadeiramente fomos eternos antes de o sermos." LO

RECEITA DE MULHER
As muito feias que me perdoem
Mas beleza é fundamental. É preciso
Que haja qualquer coisa de flor em tudo isso
Qualquer coisa de dança, qualquer coisa de haute couture
Em tudo isso (ou então
Que a mulher se socialize elegantemente em azul, como na República Popular Chinesa).
Não há meio-termo possível. É preciso
Que tudo isso seja belo. É preciso que súbito
Tenha-se a impressão de ver uma garça apenas pousada e que um rosto
Adquira de vez em quando essa cor só encontrável no terceiro minuto da aurora.
É preciso que tudo isso seja sem ser, mas que se reflita e desabroche
No olhar dos homens. É preciso, é absolutamente preciso
Que seja tudo belo e inesperado. É preciso que umas pálpebras cerradas
Lembrem um verso de Éluard e que se acaricie nuns braços
Alguma coisa além da carne: que se os toque
Como no âmbar de uma tarde. Ah, deixai-me dizer-vos
Que é preciso que a mulher que ali está como a corola ante o pássaro
Seja bela ou tenha pelo menos um rosto que lembre um templo e
Seja leve como um resto de nuvem: mas que seja uma nuvem
Com olhos e nádegas. Nádegas é importantíssimo. Olhos então
Nem se fala, que olhe com certa maldade inocente. Uma boca
Fresca (nunca úmida!) é também de extrema pertinência.
É preciso que as extremidades sejam magras; que uns ossos
Despontem, sobretudo a rótula no cruzar das pernas, e as pontas pélvicas
No enlaçar de uma cintura semovente.
Gravíssimo é porém o problema das saboneteiras: uma mulher sem saboneteiras
É como um rio sem pontes. Indispensável.
Que haja uma hipótese de barriguinha, e em seguida
A mulher se alteie em cálice, e que seus seios
Sejam uma expressão greco-romana, mas que gótica ou barroca
E possam iluminar o escuro com uma capacidade mínima de cinco velas.
Sobremodo pertinaz é estarem a caveira e a coluna vertebral
Levemente à mostra; e que exista um grande latifúndio dorsal!
Os membros que terminem como hastes, mas que haja um certo volume de coxas
E que elas sejam lisas, lisas como a pétala e cobertas de suavíssima penugem
No entanto, sensível à carícia em sentido contrário. É aconselhável na axila uma doce relva com aroma próprio
Apenas sensível (um mínimo de produtos farmacêuticos!).
Preferíveis sem dúvida os pescoços longos
De forma que a cabeça dê por vezes a impressão
De nada ter a ver com o corpo, e a mulher não lembre
Flores sem mistério. Pés e mãos devem conter elementos góticos
Discretos. A pele deve ser frescas nas mãos, nos braços, no dorso, e na face
Mas que as concavidades e reentrâncias tenham uma temperatura nunca inferior
A 37 graus centígrados, podendo eventualmente provocar queimaduras
Do primeiro grau. Os olhos, que sejam de preferência grandes
E de rotação pelo menos tão lenta quanto a da Terra; e
Que se coloquem sempre para lá de um invisível muro de paixão
Que é preciso ultrapassar. Que a mulher seja em princípio alta
Ou, caso baixa, que tenha a atitude mental dos altos píncaros.
Ah, que a mulher de sempre a impressão de que se fechar os olhos
Ao abri-los ela não estará mais presente
Com seu sorriso e suas tramas. Que ela surja, não venha; parta, não vá
E que possua uma certa capacidade de emudecer subitamente e nos fazer beber
O fel da dúvida. Oh, sobretudo
Que ela não perca nunca, não importa em que mundo
Não importa em que circunstâncias, a sua infinita volubilidade
De pássaro; e que acariciada no fundo de si mesma
Transforme-se em fera sem perder sua graça de ave; e que exale sempre
O impossível perfume; e destile sempre
O embriagante mel; e cante sempre o inaudível canto
Da sua combustão; e não deixe de ser nunca a eterna dançarina
Do efêmero; e em sua incalculável imperfeição
Constitua a coisa mais bela e mais perfeita de toda a criação imunerável.

Vinícius de Moraes

Gioachino Rossini - Guglielmo Tell (Guillaume Tell) - Overture (Chailly)...

With "Guillaume Tell" Rossini finally offered Parisian audiences an original opera in French, though the public wouldn't be too excited by Rossini's experiment with the genre and the opera; coldly received at the premiere, not often performed after, never truly forgotten, but not a popular favorite, the work has only recently went through a veritable Renaissance on the wave of reappraisal belcanto has enjoyed for the past fifty years and it absolutely deserves our reevaluation. Into its historical panorama based on the play by Schiller Rossini wove pastoral elements, patriotic deeds and superbly drawn characters. He responded imaginatively to the challenge of creating a work for the French Opera without abandoning his Italian roots, integrating the belcanto lyricism and formal refinement of Italian opera (mostly evident in the lovers' music) with the declamatory immediacy and scenic splendor (particularly in the extensive choruses and ballets) of French opera. Carefully written, harmonically daring, purged of melodic ornamentation, orchestrally opulent, "Guillaume Tell" represents a final purification of Rossini's style, possibly his best creation.

When I first listened through it, I couldn't believe just how ideal it was: the whole opera is composed on one breath, there are virtually no self-borrowings, as Rossini usually did, moreover, each piece has its' logical place in the whole opera, making for a thoroughly delightful experience; the story is exciting and, though not without its' problems (Arnoldo and Matilde being an archetypal pair of lovers), is believable; even running at four hours, the work never grows boring, on the contrary, I found myself almost hoping that something less than charming would pop out, but no, the composer presents us with inspiration on every corner. In short, it's a crowning achievement of Rossini's career. But let us pass onto the music itself.

It is truly impossible to choose any favorites from the score, as it has just too many inspired pages; my choices are thus dictated purely by my personal tastes: I've decided to post both ballet sequences and the choruses attributed to them; the first two finales, including the famous meeting of the Swiss at night; three arias, one each for the three main protagonists; a duet for Tell and Arnoldo and, of course, the overture. I do think that these pieces represent the work at its' best, though I would urge you to find yourself a complete version and listen to it from beginning to the very end. It's well worth an evening of your time :).

The version of the score that I have chosen to represent it is, in my opinion, the best rendition readily available: recorded with a star cast (Sherill Milnes, Luciano Pavarotti, Mirella Freni are only some of the names appearing in it) in between 1978-1979 under the leadership of Chailly, the recording, though sung in Italian, is, in a word, an ideal representation of the piece, as it captures both the dramatic intensity of the text and the orchestration and the sheer vocal splendor that Rossini provided to his audience. We start with the overture.

The overture to "Guillaume", well-known separately from the work, is a forerunner of things to come. Like the opera-proper to follow, it is superbly dramatical, featuring not two or three, as per tradition, but four highly individual movements. The whole overture seems, unlike most Rossini's orchestral opening to his operas, intimately connected with the opera itself, as it is, basically, an invocation of Switzerland.

3. Ranz des Vaches (call to the dairy cows) features a melting solo for the English horn with delightful flute flourishes over sustained strings. Perhaps, Rossini best orchestral movement.

4. The famous galop "cavalry charge" is heralded by trumpets and played by full orchestra. A most fitting ending to a wonderful overture.

Camera Obscura - Pen and Notebook

You saved for a bass guitar
you knew you'd made a mistake when you first saw Marr
with your pen and notebook you've blown me away
it's the smallest words we cannot say

Your favourite colour is that of red wine
which brings me around to your favourite pastime
with your pen and notebook you've blown me away
and I won't be blamed for not feeling the same

Are the stars out tonight
from the Southside oh the prettiest side
will you stumble or fall tonight
are you watching wrapped up cosy and tight

We're not the same
we're not the same
we're not the same
