Charles Bukowski | Che cosa diranno i vicini?

I miei genitori erano sempre dietro a

chiederlo,

naturalmente non mi importava un fico di

che cosa diranno i vicini.

mi facevano pena i vicini,

codardi che spiavano da dietro le

tendine.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir | The Umbrellas, 1881-1886

Renoir's 'Umbrellas' shows a bustling Paris street in the rain. The composition of the painting does not focus on the centre of the picture which is a tangle of hands. It even cuts of figures at either edge like a photographic snapshot. This kind of unconventional arrangement was something that several of the Impressionists, including Renoir and Degas, enjoyed experimenting with.

Salustiano Garcia Cruz, 1965

Spanish painter Salustiano García Cruz graduated from the University of Seville.

The paintings of this artist are red or white pictures in a pure concept of Renaissance style, transmitting calm through a detailed study of form and a clear brush stroke.

The characters are lone busts and faces over an empty and monochrome space, appearing like in dreams where everything turns red.
