Guido Reni | Stile artistico

Guido Reni (1575-1642) si consolida come pittore classicista tra i più importanti della pittura Italiana del Seicento.

I suoi primordiali studi musicali sono motivo dell'influenza nelle sue composizioni dove i personaggi ritratti talvolta palesano nei loro atteggiamenti o nelle posture un modo musicale-danzante; è questo il caso del Sansone vittorioso dell'Atalanta ed Ippomene od anche del gruppo di tele sulle Fatiche di Ercole per le collezioni Gonzaga.

Fu influenzato anche dai modi pittorici del Cavalier d'Arpino, a cui il Reni guardò molto durante i suoi primi anni di attività, a testimonianza di ciò il cospicuo numero di piccoli oli su rame, peculiarità stilistica del Cesari, che il bolognese eseguì nel primo decennio del Seicento.

Mikhail Lermontov | I Go Out On The Road Alone / Sulla strada esco solo

René Magritte

Sulla strada esco solo.

Nella nebbia è chiaro il cammino sassoso.

Calma è la notte.

Il deserto volge l'orecchio a Dio

E le stelle parlano tra loro.

Meraviglioso e solenne il cielo!

Dorme la terra in un azzurro nembo.

Evelyne Galinski, 1950 | Abstract Figurative sculptor

Born in Marseille, French sculptor🎨 Evelyne Galinski began sculpting quite late. Her inspiration: meditation, silence, zen, body arts, self knowledge and one’s relation to others. In pursuit of her own story, Evelyne Galinski searches for herself in clay. She speaks of a people, ancestral or new.
Her people are without race for when mixed, they exude the white light containing all colors.

Furthermore, the male - female ambiguity of her figures leads the heart and eyes to consider the being beyond it’s form. Beyond her own search, all blends in softness, allowing each one the freedom to see and be what they desire.

Evelyne Galinski’s sculptures do not leave indifferent. For some, they reflect human finitude and death impossible to tame. For others, they are the fruit of a spiritual quest, where the bodies seem to seek ecstasy in a levitation to an unknown destination.

Kahlil Gibran | On Love / Dell'Amore

Quando l’amore vi chiama seguitelo

anche se le sue vie sono ardue e ripide

e quando le sue ali vi avvolgeranno, abbandonatevi a lui

anche se la sua lama, celata fra le sue penne, vi può ferire

e quando vi parla, credetegli

anche se la sua voce può mandare in frantumi i vostri sogni

come il vento del nord devasta il vostro giardino.

Charles Amable Lenoir | Reverie, 1893

Khalil Gibran | Sul dolore / On Pain

Il dolore è lo spezzarsi del guscio

che racchiude la vostra conoscenza.

Come il nocciolo del frutto deve spezzarsi

affinché il suo cuore possa esporsi al sole,

così voi dovete conoscere il dolore.

Roman Urbinskiy, 1977 | Russian painter

Kahlil Gibran: "La perplessità è l'inizio della conoscenza!"

• Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.

• Tenerezza e gentilezza non sono sintomo di disperazione e debolezza, ma espressione di forza e di determinazione.

• La generosità significa dare più di quello che puoi, e l'orgoglio sta nel prendere meno di ciò di cui hai bisogno.

• Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

Barbara Cole, 1953 | Abstract / Fine Art photographer

While we're completely blown away when we see paintings that look like pictures, we're even more excited when we come across pictures that look like paintings! Such is this set, called Painted Ladies, by Barbara Cole, Canadian🎨 photographer. The self-taught photographer not only challenges our reality, she does it all using Polaroid film!

"I fell in love with Polaroid film sometime late in 1987", Cole says. - I had been experimenting with the Polaroid Spectra camera and Tungsten light and I loved the mood that its warm colors and creamy palette evoked. In the end, however, it proved too difficult to work within the limitations of this simple point and shoot camera and I abandoned it.

Sebbene duramente condannato dai critici che hanno criticato la sua mancanza di finitura convenzionale, il lavoro di Manet ha avuto ammiratori fin dall'inizio.

Uno era Émile Zola, che scrisse nel 1867:

"Non siamo abituati a vedere traduzioni così semplici e dirette della realtà, quindi, come ho detto, c'è un tale imbarazzo sorprendentemente elegante ... è un'esperienza davvero affascinante contemplare questo pittura luminosa e seria che interpreta la natura con una gentile brutalità".

Gary Benfield, 1965 | Horse paintings

Gary Benfield's artistic style is unique. A pencil in one hand and a paint brush in the other, he approaches the canvas and uses both at the same time, just letting 'what happens, happen'.
What's happened so far is quick success and what appears to be the beginning of a very impressive career. Benfield is ambidextrous by training, not by nature.
A competitive cyclist since his youth, he has broken his arms multiple times. Over the years he learned to compensate. Today this literal two-fisted ability is one of the things which makes his style so unique.
