Jacques Prévert | Paris at night..

Tre fiammiferi accesi uno per uno nella notte

Il primo per vederti tutto il viso

Il secondo per vederti gli occhi

L'ultimo per vedere la tua bocca

E tutto il buio per ricordarmi queste cose

Mentre ti stringo fra le braccia.

Stanislav Aristov

Leonardo da Vinci | Parla il musico col pittore

Trattato della Pittura - Parte prima /26

Dice il musico, che la sua scienza è da essere equiparata a quella del pittore, perché essa compone un corpo di molte membra, del quale lo speculatore contempla tutta la grazia in tanti tempi armonici quanti sono i tempi ne' quali essa nasce e muore, e con quei tempi trastulla con grazia l'anima che risiede nel corpo del suo contemplante.

Michael Klein, 1980 | The Novorealism Movement

American painter Michael Klein is a bourgeoning artist in the NovoRealism Movement creating melancholic paintings that have a distinct, contemplative quality.

He began his academic training at just 19 with Richard Whitney and subsequently enrolled in Richard Lack’s The Atelier in Minneapolis, MN.

Juan Fortuny, 1939 | Impressionist / Realist painter

Juan Fortuny was born in Badalona, a small fishing town near to Barcelona.
A work of art signed by Fortuny is, first and foremost, a suite of details, each and every one of which is of primary importance. A surprising and outstanding composition, fruit of long years of experience with colours, canvas, techniques, visits to galleries and museums. The route that leads to Juan Fortuny today takes the traveller backwards in time, to his childhood. Four years later his affair with drawings, his passion, triumphed and started a new career as a painter.
