    Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me

    March 26, 2014 / 0 Comments

    As much as elders tell young children to dismiss name-calling or bad words, words possess a stronger meaning than most people care to admit. A photograph may be worth 1,000 words, but can a word not also invite 1,000 ideas or influence 1,000 images? Art is subjective to the viewer’s personal history, and language is supposed to be agreed upon by the general audience, with dictionaries giving precise definitions to every word. But neither Merriam nor Webster can anticipate the insurgence of connotative meaning that can ultimately redefine a word in a specific culture. The importance of language and its relationship to art is currently being examined at the Tate…

    Paisajes antiguos y modernos

    April 18, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Hay dos tipos de personas, a las que les gustan los retratos y a las que les gustan los paisajes. Personalmente soy una de las personas de paisaje, en mi cámara de fotos raramente encontrarás un primer plano de una persona, y desde luego, ni una foto mía (no es que piense que las fotos roban el alma, pero casi). Runge (sí, el de la esfera) dijo que «todo conduce necesariamente al paisaje» y no puedo estar más de acuerdo. Absolutamente todo lo que vemos es, o contiene, un paisaje, aunque a veces nos neguemos a reconocerlo con la excusa de que «no es naturaleza». Es tan importante que hasta…

    Landscape Art, Depictions of a Nature That Might Cease to Exist

    March 21, 2013 / 0 Comments

    I’m supposed to talk about pretty landscapes and painters from the 17th century until now that have slowly incorporated said landscapes into their paintings more and more, until finally Landscape became its own genre. And fine: nature is nice; butterflies, yay. Instead, I’d like to note that BP is sponsoring this. BP! The company that is ruining similar landscapes to the ones we’re meant to enjoy in the exhibition. Did the corporation’s discussion for putting this on the agenda include a “yeah, we better show them now before the destruction and decimation of our planet is complete”? The extraction and ceaseless use of natural gasses and oil is doing palpable…

    Paint the Sky with Van Gogh

    September 4, 2012 / 1 Comment

    On the over-arching subject of Symbolism, I’d have to say I am a fan. Beautiful colours and images which ultimately stand for something much deeper and more heartfelt than what is in front of you; colours and symbols which are meant to touch people around the world and bring them together using one piece of art. When it happens successfully, it’s truly amazing. Take Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night (below), a piece recognised across time and place that enlists a quieting of the mind and moment of inner peace, which ultimately stirs in some of us a recognition of the fact that there may be more than just this life.…

    Munch, un peintre horrifié ?

    August 13, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Entre 1883 et 1884, l’éruption du volcan indonésien Krakatoa est perçue jusqu’en Europe et enflamme le ciel norvégien. Dix ans plus tard, Edvard Munch s’inspire de ces couleurs flamboyantes pour peindre Le Cri. Un personnage fantomatique se tient le visage et semble hurler, debout au sein d’un paysage dénudé, enflammé à l’horizon par un ardent soleil couchant. Plusieurs versions de cette peinture sont conservées. En général, les critiques classent Munch dans la catégorie des peintres touchés par les épreuves de la vie, ce qui doit se refléter dans ses toiles. L’exposition de la Tate Modern tente d’atténuer ce jugement en montrant comment il a aussi été inspiré par de simples…

    Munch, ese que pintó El grito

    July 27, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Crees que sabes todo lo que hay que saber sobre Edvard Munch, ¿verdad? A tu juicio, era un solitario de alma atormentada, que pintaba escenas de trauma y desamparo y que se dejaba llevar por la angustia y la melancolía… ¿van por ahí los tiros? Pues la nueva exposición de la Tate Modern pone tu erudición sobre el noruego en entredicho y te invita a explorar las facetas más desconocidas de su personalidad a través del análisis de los temas que abordó en sus obras. Los de la Tate quieren que conozcamos más a un artista que era mucho más que «el tipo ese que pintó El grito» y nos…

    Munch ado about nothing

    July 27, 2012 / 0 Comments

    So you think you know Edvard Munch? Think again. That’s the tag-line for the Tate Modern‘s new Munch exhibition, whose premise is that Munch is an under-analysed artist, pigeonholed as a troubled loner and worthy of reassessment. They profess that there were more sides to his personality than just ‘the man who painted The Scream’, and the exhibition seeks to find out what else made him tick through an analysis of the other themes in his work, such as his debilitating eye disease, the theatre and his burgeoning interest in film photography. They implore us to see past the “angst-ridden and brooding Nordic artist who painted scenes of isolation and…

    Turner, Monet y Twombly: Un trío extraño

    July 2, 2012 / 0 Comments

    ¿Qué pueden tener en común un romántico inglés, un impresionista francés y un simbolista estadounidense? Esto es lo que se nos plantea en la exposición de la Tate de Liverpool llamada «Turner Monet Twombly: Later Paintings». Sinceramente yo aún estoy tratando de averiguarlo. Haciendo un recuento de la carrera artística de cada uno, queda bastante claro que sus obras tienen poco, si no nada, que ver unas con otras, lo que te hace preguntarte cómo diantres se le ha podido ocurrir a nadie agruparlos en una exposición. Sin embargo, si nos centramos en los últimos, digamos 20, años de sus vidas, supongo que podría decirse que la obra de Turner…

    Turner, Monet und Twombly

    June 29, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Geboren im 18., 19., bzw. 20. Jahrhundert; ein Brite, ein Franzose und ein Amerikaner; Romantiker, Impressionist und abstrakter Expressionist. Drei Maler, die von ihren Grundvoraussetzungen her unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten, und dennoch scheinen J. M. W. Turner, Claude Monet und Cy Twombly irgendetwas gemeinsam zu haben, das einen Vergleich der Werke ihrer jeweils letzten Schaffensjahre rechtfertigt. Versuchen wir einmal den riesigen Pulk an Werken ein wenig zu vergessen, die ihren jeweiligen Stil „allgemein“ kennzeichnen und werfen wir ausschließlich einen Blick auf ihre letzten etwa 20 Jahre. So wird vor allem bei Turner die Wandlung des Stils in Richtung einer impressionistischen Malweise erkennbar, die dann wiederum mit der Monets‘ vergleichbar wird.…

    Turner, Monet, Twombly : quel(s) point(s) commun(s) ? Vous avez entendu parler des deux premiers comme étant des maîtres, et le 3ème vous est peut-être totalement inconnu, à moins que vous vous intéressiez à l’art contemporain… Le point commun, c’est le ressenti. Ces trois peintres se sont éloignés des codes réalistes attendus par la bourgeoisie de leur époque et ont peint ce qu’ils ressentaient devant le sujet… Que peint Turner dans les Baleines : les animaux ou le ciel et l’écume ? Que peint Monet dans San Giorgio Maggiore, les monuments ou l’impression de lumière bleutée ? Et que dire de Twombly, qui dans sa série Lepanto, interprète par des taches et des coulures…
