    Hokusai, Making Waves

    October 8, 2014 / 1 Comment

    When confronted with the name Katsushika Hokusai, the thoughts of both art enthusiasts and laymen alike tend to fall upon one seminal work: Great Wave, or Under the Wave off Kanagawa, as it ought to be known. This is particularly true of the reception of Hokusai in the western world. Indeed, since its mass production in the thousands, Hokusai´s wood-block print of a crashing behemoth has effected so great and permeating an influence that we have seen it infiltrate a spectrum of cultural nuances that are as broadly defined as cinema and animation – both in Japan and in the west; music and the arts – in works such as…

    Tra follia e arte

    February 17, 2014 / 0 Comments

    Vincent van Gogh è l’archetipo dell’artista martire, incompreso dall’arte moderna. Chi, non conosce la sua storia e il fatto che si sia scattato l’orecchio e l’abbia datto ad una prostituta. La particularità di Van Gogh è di essere famoso ovviamente per le sue opere, pero anche per la sua vita personale che, non ci mentiamo, ci interessa (il gossip interessa sempre). Grazie alle numerose lettere che conserviamo della sua corrispondenza con il fratello Théo, ne sappiamo molto di piu sui suoi pensieri, il suo malessere, la sua vulnerabilità e il fatto che non si sentiva amato. Van Gogh è proprio l’incarnazione della sofferenza e usava la pittura come rifugio. Espressionista…

    Depuis 97 ans je suis allongé, là, à côté de mon épouse Rose au cimetière de Meudon. Les voix de l’au-delà m’ont rapporté qu’une exposition sur mon œuvre avait pour thème « La Chair et le marbre ». Curieuse idée, mais les hommes du xxie siècle nous surprennent souvent, nous qui sommes nés au xixe siècle. Entre la chair et le marbre, j’ai toujours préféré la chair, dans son sens érotique, ce plaisir condamné par les Saintes Écritures. Je trouvais dans les interdits de la jouissance, ma plénitude d’homme. Caresser un jeune corps, sentir sous mes doigts la souplesse d’une peau et la chaleur d’une intimité m’ont inspiré mes plus beaux…
