    Judith the Man Slayer

    November 5, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Men create; women inspire. While men stand behind the easel painting masterpieces rich in beauty, women have simply stood in front to model. One woman, though, Artemisia Gentileschi traversed the barrier. Rather than paint innocent and cheery little pictures, hers is a masterpiece of violence and revenge.  Judith Slaying Holofernes depicts the Biblical scene in which Judith and her maidservant murder the General Holofernes in his sleep to save the Jewish people. Artemisia’s painting stands alone in the extreme portrayal of violence, seen in the anguished face of the general and in the vividness of the blood streaming down the white sheets.

    Picasso para niños

    March 19, 2013 / 0 Comments

    ¿Quién no ha dicho, u oído, alguna vez eso de que las obras de arte contemporáneas las puede hacer hasta un niño de tres años? Algo parecido es lo que sucedió en la primera exposición internacional de arte moderno que tuvo lugar en EE.UU. en 1913. Conocida hoy en día como The Armory Show, ya que el primer lugar donde fue expuesta era una armería de Nueva York, esta exposición viajó por tres ciudades estadounidenses, la mencionada Nueva York, Chicago y Boston, presentando el nuevo lenguaje visual europeo al público norteamericano. La más recordada de estas exposiciones es la que tuvo lugar en el Instituto de Arte de Chicago, y…

    Chicago and Picasso

    March 7, 2013 / 1 Comment

    I have to admit, I’ve had a bit of a crush on Chicago for a long time. Not because it’s cold or windy, or for any of its sports teams. I’m not a fan of deep dish pizza; hot dogs gross me out for the most part. Al Capone is pretty big to speak of, I suppose, but mob ‘outfits’ strike me as excessive and silly. One positive note thus far: I’ve heard amazing things about O’Hare International. Oh, and since the Chicago Fire of 1871, the city rightfully boasts superior urban planning. So what is it that has me perpetually itching to check out this mid-western city for an…

    Hopper fait du cinéma

    August 24, 2012 / 0 Comments

    J’ai beaucoup aimé le film « L’Arnaque », avec Robert Redford et Paul Newman. Vous vous souvenez peut-être de cette scène : un café en coin de rue, Robert Redford assis face à une tasse de café, une femme brune le regarde. C’est la tueuse possédant le contrat lancé sur la tête de Robert. Chaque fois que je revois ce film, j’ai l’impression de rentrer dans un tableau de Hopper. Un homme, une femme, solitaires, le regard perdu vers l’horizon sans fin ; des lumières oranges, vertes, qui viennent balayer avec délicatesse des visages blanchâtres. Cette atmosphère des films américains des années 40 et 50 correspond à une période qui rimait avec Clark Gable,…
