John Keats | Dici di amarmi, 1817-1818

Dici di amarmi, ma con una voce

più casta di quella di una suora che canta

il tenue Vespro della sera a se stessa,

mentre suona la campana a festa...

Oh, amami sul serio!

Pablo Picasso | Maison au toit rouge, 1933

"Maison au toit rouge" / "House with red roof" is a rare example of the artist’s landscape work from these pivotal years within his oeuvre.

In its bold assertion of colour and form, Picasso provides a clear link between his landscapes and the figure paintings he was producing at the time.

Maison au toit rouge is a vision of sensuality and escapism marking a joyous new chapter in the artist’s body of work.

Hollywood in Black and White

Hollywood, the American film industry, is a story of technological breakthroughs, business monopolies, artistic rebellion and global cultural dominance.

Before it became the global capital of cinema, Hollywood was born as a deeply religious, alcohol-free farming community envisioned as a Midwestern-style utopia in sunny Southern California.

Over more than a century, the industry evolved from a sunny escape for filmmakers fleeing East Coast lawsuits into a multi-billion-dollar global entertainment empire.

The first film shot entirely in the neighborhood was the short In Old California (1910).

By 1911, the Nestor Film Company opened Hollywood's first permanent movie studio inside a rented tavern.

Hollywood in bianco e nero

La storia di Hollywood - l'industria cinematografica Americana, è un'avventura affascinante che ha trasformato un tranquillo villaggio agricolo della California nella capitale mondiale del cinema.

Questo percorso ultracentenario è segnato da guerre legali, scoperte e rivoluzioni tecnologiche, ribellioni artistiche, dominio culturale globale e grandi imperi commerciali.

L'evoluzione del cinema hollywoodiano può essere suddivisa in sei grandi ere storiche:

L'Espressionismo astratto di Andrew Wyeth

Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009) è stato uno dei più celebri ed amati pittori realisti e regionalisti Statunitensi del Novecento.

È stato talvolta indicato con l'appellativo di "pittore della gente" a motivo della sua popolarità tra il pubblico americano.

Mentre il grande pubblico lo ha sempre adorato per la sua capacità di parlare direttamente al cuore delle persone, la critica modernista dell'epoca lo ha spesso accusato di essere troppo tradizionale o puramente un "illustratore".

Ciononostante, ha ricevuto le massime onorificenze statunitensi, tra cui la Presidential Medal of Freedom nel 1963 e la Congressional Gold Medal nel 1988.

David Gilliver, 1979 | Light painter

Scottish atist David Gilliver started to experiment with long exposure photography in hours around dusk and after sunset, allowing the camera to keep on exposing for longer time, producing images and effects incapable for the human eye to see.

The technique used by the artist, involves the photographer using a long - duration shutter speed on the camera, while he walks into the picture frame adding the lights he wants, using glow sticks, light orb or torches.

The shoot may last as longs a 30 minutes.

The effect also makes moving objects blurry, while stationary object remain sharp.

Walter Girotto, 1953 | Symbolic / Figurative painter

Anne Patricia Carson (Toronto, 21 giugno 1950) è una poetessa, saggista, traduttrice e classicista Canadese, insignita del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura 2026 per la sua opera definita "audace e creativa che, in un dialogo giocoso con la tradizione classica, ha saputo dare vita a nuove forme per la letteratura contemporanea".

Anne Carson | La libertà

La libertà ha un significato diverso a seconda delle persone.

Non mi è mai piaciuto stare a letto la mattina.

A Law invece sì.

Mia madre lo fa tuttora.

Non appena la luce del mattino mi colpisce gli occhi voglio essere fuori per farne parte -

muovermi lungo la brughiera

nelle prime correnti azzurre e nella fredda navigazione di tutto ciò che è sveglio.

Anne Carson | Liberty

Liberty means different things to different people.

I have never liked lying in bed in the morning.

Law did.

My mother does.

But as soon as the morning light hits my eyes I want to be out in it-

moving along the moor

into the first blue currents and cold navigation of everything awake.

I hear my mother in the next room turn and sigh and sink deeper.

I peel the stale cage of sheets off my legs

and I am free.

Wisława Szymborska | I am too close for him

I am too close for him to dream about me.

I’m not flying over him, not fleeing him

under the roots of trees. I am too close.

Not with my voice sings the fish in the net.

Not from my finger rolls the ring.

Laurent Parcelier, 1962 | Romantic Impressionist painter

"Kerdalo" is actually the artistic pseudonym used by Laurent Parcelier.

When signing his contemporary urban impressionist pieces, he frequently drops his last name and uses either just "Kerdalo" or "Laurent Kerdalo".

While his earlier career and classic rural landscapes are widely associated with his full name, his distinct shift toward bustling cityscapes is where the Kerdalo signature shines.

Per (Pelle) Adolf Swedlund | Pittore simbolista

Per (Pelle) Adolf Swedlund (1865-1947) è stato uno degli esempi più affascinanti del simbolismo Svedese ed internazionale, pittore e curatore di musei presso la Galleria Thielska di Stoccolma dal 1932-1946.

Sebbene meno noto rispetto ad altri colleghi scandinavi, è considerato una delle figure più affascinanti e liriche del Simbolismo e Sintetismo nordico a cavallo tra il XIX ed il XX secolo.

I quadri di Swedlund si distinguono per un'atmosfera fortemente poetica, sognante e quasi crepuscolare.

Le sue tele non cercano di riprodurre la realtà in modo oggettivo, ma puntano a evocare stati d'animo, sogni ed enigmi interiori attraverso la natura ed il paesaggio.

Jeff Rowland | Romantic painter

Jeff Rowland (1964-2018) was a professional British painter celebrated for his highly atmospheric, deeply romantic and rain-soaked oil paintings.

During this time Jeff Rowland had undertaken many works and also went on to win an award from the NEPA (North East Print Association).

Wisława Szymborska | The railroad station

My nonarrival in the city of N.

took place on the dot.

You'd been alerted

in my unmailed letter.

You were able not to be there

at the agreed-upon time.

Jeff Rowland | Right here waiting for you
