El Greco | L'eredità artistica

El Greco (1541-1614) fu molto poco considerato dalle generazioni immediatamente successive, perché il suo lavoro sotto molti aspetti era opposto ai principi del primo stile barocco che iniziò ad imporsi verso gli inizi del XVII secolo e che presto finì per soppiantare gli ultimi fuochi del manierismo del XVI secolo.

El Greco fu giudicato incomprensibile e non ebbe seguaci di rilievo.

Solo suo figlio e alcuni altri sconosciuti pittori realizzarono delle poco valide imitazioni dei suoi lavori.

Tra la fine del XVII secolo e l'inizio del XVIII dei critici spagnoli iniziarono a lodare la sua abilità, criticando però al contempo il suo stile anti-naturalistico e la sua complessa iconografia.

Sir Alfred Munnings | Romantic Equestrian painter

Sir Alfred James Munnings, KCVO, PRA (8 October 1878 - 17 July 1959) was known as one of England's finest painters of horses, and as an outspoken critic of Modernism.

Engaged by Lord Beaverbrook's Canadian War Memorials Fund, he earned several prestigious commissions after the Great War that made him wealthy.

Munnings was elected president of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1944.

Adam Styka | Under the African Sun

Edna St. Vincent Millay / Edward Steichen | Night is my sister / La notte è mia sorella

Edward Steichen (American🎨 photographer, painter, and curator, 1879-1973)| Greta Garbo

Night is my sister, and how deep in love,

How drowned in love and weedily washed ashore,

There to be fretted by the drag and shove

At the tide's edge, I lie - these things and more:

Whose arm alone between me and the sand,

Whose voice alone, whose pitiful breath brought near,

Could thaw these nostrils and unlock this hand,

She could advise you, should you care to hear.
