Pablo Neruda | Perche' tu possa ascoltarmi.. / So that you will hear me..

Benito Cerna, 1960 ~ Figurative painter

Perché tu possa ascoltarmi le mie parole

si fanno sottili, a volte,

come impronte di gabbiani sulla spiaggia.

Collana, sonaglio ebbro

per le tue mani dolci come l'uva.

E le vedo ormai lontane le mie parole.

Più che mie sono tue.

Come edera crescono aggrappate al mio dolore antico.

Così si aggrappano alle pareti umide.

E' tua la colpa di questo gioco cruento.

Stanno fuggendo dalla mia buia tana.

Tutto lo riempi tu, tutto lo riempi.

Prima legge di Gordon

• Se non vale la pena fare una ricerca, non vale neanche la pena farla bene.

Legge di Murphy sulla ricerca

• Una ricerca abbastanza lunga tenderà a confermare ogni teoria.

Legge di Maier

• Se i dati non corrispondono alla teoria, vanno eliminati.

Corollari:

• Più vasta è la teoria, meglio è.

Un esperimento è da considerarsi un successo

se non più del 50 per cento dei dati ottenuti

deve essere scartato per ottenere i risultati previsti con la teoria.

Lucio Olivieri, 1934 | Figurative sculptor

Lucio Oliveri is a contemporary Italian sculptor who lives and works in his native city of Milan.

For some year now, he has identified himself in a personalized figurative that aims to express states of mind and human attitudes through the synthesis/essential of the human figure.

Lucio Oliveri's artistic vocation was sparked in 1954 at the age of nineteen at the time of his father's death, when he decided to make a plasticine portrait of him.

In the 1970s he attended a sculpture course at the Centro Artistico Culturale Milanese for seven years under the guidance of Franco Zazzeri, completing his self-taught training.
