    Pour qui sonne le glas

    September 18, 2014 / 0 Comments

    C’était une nuit du mois de juin 1930, jamais Paris n’avait vu poindre aussi vite l’ombre pâle de la peur. Un cri strident déchira l’harmonie des années folles. Un terrible événement venait de se produire qui marquera le déclin des nuits aphrodisiaques de Montparnasse. Il est 5h45, le téléphone sonne. L’inspecteur Moulin m’informe du drame, je dois me rendre de toute urgence sur le lieu du crime. « Crime », rien de certain, il semblerait qu’il s’agisse là d’un suicide, mais il nous faut mener l’enquête. J’enfile mon trench, absorbe mon café et saute dans ma Peugeot 201 qui me transporte jusqu’au lieu de l’accident. Il y a foule devant…

    L’Uragano russo

    November 4, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Potrei dire che la musica dell’Uccello di fuoco di Stravinsky fece il mio primo approdo con i Balletti Russi di Diaghilev. La mia mamma me l’aveva fatta ascoltare quando ero piccola. Il Balletti Russi sono stati une revoluzione, una palla di cannone venuta dall’est, che cambiò il campo della danza per sempre all’inizio del ventessimo secolo. Basta i costumi lunghi, classici, la danza frontale. Fondati in 1909, i Balletti Russi rappresentavano un esempio di creatività ottimo, mescolando moda, arte contemporaneo, musica e danza. Lo scopo di Diaghilev era di fare conoscere l’arte russa in Occidente. Ci è riuscito accircondato dai più grandi pittori, compositori o ballerini. Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Bakst,…

    La verdad del poliedro

    May 9, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Matisse pasó la mayor parte de su vida intentando buscar la verdad. Para él la verdad estaba escondida tras la simplificación de las líneas y la combinación de colores. Por este motivo se dedicaba a estudiar sus propias obras y repetirlas con el objetivo de mejorar su técnica en cada nuevo cuadro que completaba. No son pocos los que han realizado series y copias de sus cuadros, pero es significativo que Matisse buscara no sólo comparar la luz o sus efectos sobre un determinado objeto, sino superarse individualmente con cada obra, alcanzar el cuadro verdadero, la perfección total.

    Die jungen „Wilden“ erobern das Stillleben

    January 31, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Bei dem Gedanken an die Gattung „Stillleben“ kommen mir Früchte, totes Wildbret auf einem Silbertablett, verstaubte alten Vasen auf dem Dachboden oder farblich in Altrosé getauchte Blumensträuße in den Sinn. Alles künstlerisch wertvoll auf einem Tisch angeordnet und vom Künstler in einer technischen Meisterleistung klassisch und der Natur getreu auf die Leinwand gebracht. Hier und da gibt es interessante Details zu entdecken, und über die Symbolischen Bedeutung wird es sogar spannend. Doch die inhaltliche Wiederholung der abgebildeten Objekte wirkt mitunter emüdent auf den Betrachter und irgendwann ist das nächste Stillleben „nur“ noch schön anzuschauen.     Als Ausgangspunkt jeder akademisch-künstlerischen Ausbildung zur Erlangung technischer Perfektion steht das Stillleben – es…

    Musings… and Matisse

    January 15, 2013 / 0 Comments

    How does one gain immortality these days? No, this is actually a serious question! For the Ancient Egyptians, they took the important person’s corpse, removed the intestines and the other major decomposable parts (excepting the heart of course… every rookie embalmer knows that!), dried the body out with natron*, stuffed it with sawdust, wrapped it in linen, placed it in a couple of coffins, and then put it inside a large sarcophagus**. Easy. Then, they left the now-mummified body, erected a gigantic marking stone (obviously why the pyramids were built), and voila: today practically everybody and their grandmother knows the name of Tutankhamen.  Not bad for a 5,000 year-old mummy!…

    Lessons to be Learnt from The Wizard of Oz and Matisse

    December 6, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Imagine you’re Dorothy.  You have just escaped Auntie Em and a life of rusticated farm-life.  You step out of your house, and no more black-and-white, but BOOM!  It’s a colour explosion, where you are literally on the other side of the rainbow.  And never mind those Munchkins… What would you think, honestly?  That you are in some strange kind of fever-dream?  Or that you have accidentally ingested a potent hallucinogenic (let’s forget for the moment that Dorothy probably doesn’t know what that is)?  Or, simply, that you’ve just gone crazy? I think it fair enough to say that these feelings may be eerily similar to those experienced by Matisse and…
