    July 5, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Dracula in the Wallachian language means Devil. The Wallachians were, at that time, as they are at present, used to give this as a surname to any person who rendered himself conspicuous either by courage, cruel actions, or cunning.

    La redécouverte de la légende est l'œuvre de Bram Stoker. Son Dracula (1887) reste un mythe moderne, teinté de romantisme macabre. Créé à l'époque victorienne, il était éloigné de sa source d'inspiration ou du filon populaire ( les « vrais vampires »).

    Dracula ist ein Mythos, der Jung und Alt gleichermaßen fasziniert. Mehr als hundert Jahre nach seinem Erfolg als Titelheld von Bram Stokers gleichnamigem Roman (Dracula, 1887) ist es mehr als an der Zeit, dem unangefochtenen Helden des Unheimlichen ein umfassendes Oeuvre zu widmen.

    Transylvanian mystique and legendary hauntedness surround the most infamous Bram Stoker’s protagonists, forming a legacy that allows the myth to continue into modern times, maintaining a cultish following, yet broadening to a general fascination.

    The Joy of Drawing: The Doodles of Great Masters

    In a way, the sketch is one of the purest elements to art – the first inklings of the idea to something great, and at times the most raw and intense aspect. Painters, sculptors and even contemporary multi-media artists will often lay down their visions on a simple pen and paper production. As a powerful and beloved medium, drawings are the skeleton to an artwork and have influenced and changed artists’ lives. Most artists will sketch an idea out, often multiple times to get everything right. Unless you’re Bob Ross, and then you just go for it because there are no mistakes in your world. But these sketches, quick or…

    Les femmes froides des Préraphaélites

    August 29, 2014 / 1 Comment

    Il y a des personnes qui semblent impossibles à fixer, demeurant toujours dans une sorte de flou, d’hésitation permanente face à la vie. Les femmes que peignent les Préraphaélites sont un peu comme ça. Souvent sujets de la toile, elles donnent pourtant l’impression de manquer de consistance. Leurs attitudes et leurs expressions leur confèrent une mollesse générale presqu’exaspérante. Ces tableaux ont choqué l’Angleterre victorienne au 19ème siècle : on trouvait ces femmes laides. Et puis, on n’appréciait guère que certaines d’entre elles soient des prostituées ou des maîtresses de bas étage (Hunt, The Awakening conscience, 1853). Cela ne collait pas avec la bienséance et la morale victorienne. Mais les Préraphaélites n’aspiraient…
