fabian perez dancer in red

Post n°11 pubblicato il 17 Settembre 2013 da paintingsframe

During its Golden age (1869-1910), Flamenco was developed in the numerous cafs cantantes (musical cafes). Flamenco dance achieved its climax and was the major attraction of the cafes cantantes. Guitar players who accompanied the dancers became tremendously popular with the ever-increasing audience. From 1915, Flamenco shows were organized and performed all over the world. In 1922 the popularity began to dwindle. A Flamenco Renaissance started in 1955. Outstanding dancers and soloists from the small tablaos, successors to the early cafes cantantes, made their way to the great theaters and concert houses. Guitar players acquired great reputations with their mastery of the music and their guitars. Flamenco dance is to be compared to the dances of the Orient. The elegant gestures of the female dancers resemble those of Oriental dancers, only they are more forcible. The dancers use of castanets and castanuelas can be compared to the Oriental finger cymbals. The ladies wear long dresses with voluminous skirts, sometimes used to emphasize arm movements. Handclapping or percussion, as well as song and guitar usually accompany the dancer. fabian perez dancer in red Flamenco is a Spanish art form with roots deep in Andalusia, Spain's southern region. There are many theories as to how this folk dance evolved, the details are lost in history. Even the origin of its name is elusive. Some attribute it to the early 1500s and the Flemish courtiers during the reign of Spain's Charles V. Their bright clothing inspired the names given things garish or conspicuous, such as flamingos and flamenco.

The Dream ~ Inspired by Henri Rousseau

Post n°10 pubblicato il 13 Settembre 2013 da paintingsframe

Neither rain nor heat nor wind were as faithful as Surien. After each day’s toil, he laid down the rags of a labourer and took up the mantle of a musician. He played his flute well. He played every day, practising his art with the patience of a craftsman whittling away at imperfection. The notes he drew from it were like tendrils; smoke rising from his pipe of life. As he blew into the dark tube, his breath stirred the passions he had nurtured with the purity of new melodies.


Those who lived within earshot inhaled his musical concoctions at day’s end, the mayor’s daughter among them. She was beautiful and bored, longing for the day when she could leave that dirty town for the life of films in some fast shiny city. She lay listless on her divan, listening to the piper’s wordless tales. The notes came as bright birds and warm furs, settling around her as the atmosphere grew lush with the music.

Surien was lonely. He dreamed also. His fingers played the longings of his soul to be larger than it was. He imagined he was speaking to the giver of dreams, and that his sounds were simple prayers asking for more than he dared hope to gain. He was glad that no-one complained about his flute practice.

 

One day, an important black car came to that dusty corner of town. The mayor’s daughter looked down from her window and squealed with delight, rushing to pack her suitcases for her trip to stardom. But the car had come to bear away the musician, taking him far off to an unknown but hopeful future. She watched him go, carrying nothing but his flute case and a canvas sack, and the collective dreams of his listeners.

 

Appreciate this Henri Rousseau painting

The Meaning of Love--Endless Love Alfred Gockel

Post n°9 pubblicato il 13 Settembre 2013 da paintingsframe
Foto di paintingsframe

The question: What does love mean to you? Have you always felt this way?

My answer: Love is a person who asks "how was your day?" and really cares what your answer is (or at least knows enough to fake it!). It's someone you feel comfortable spending time with - i.e., you're completely relaxed and don't feel self-conscious. In my case, it's someone who cooks meals for me because the key to my heart is definitely my stomach. It's someone who helps me out when I'm busy without making me feel guilty about it. 

No, I haven't always felt this way. When I was younger the answer would have more to do with passion, lust, immediacy, and borderline obsession. I think that's a normal teenage thing though - lots and lots of emotions all building up. Passion is really fun, but it's also cool to have found a best friend who I want to hang out with as much as possible. Also, passion can be kind of stressful and time-consuming, so now it's time to get on with all the other stuff I want to do in my life (my career, hobbies, etc.). I know my current boyfriend is a stable guy and I don't have to worry about too many dramatics right now. Is it more boring than when we first met 4 years ago? Well, I guess you could say it's less intense. Is it still a lot of fun? You betcha.

Art review: Dixon showing pair of Renoir works dappled in drama

Post n°8 pubblicato il 12 Settembre 2013 da paintingsframe

A pleasant way to avoid summer’s heat — or downpour, as could happen — would be at Dixon Gallery and Gardens, looking at two paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, on loan to the museum through Sept. 2.

Displayed in the Dixon Residence among other mid- and late-19th century works, and not made a big deal over, “The Loge” (1874) and “The Umbrella” (1878) were lent by Diane B. Wilsey, a prominent collector and patron of the arts and other charities on the West Coast and board chairwoman of the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco.

In 1874, Renoir was 33 years old, an unknown artist still finding his way in terms of style, gesture and subject matter. He was friends with the fledgling Impressionists Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley, whom he met at art school, and had begun painting in a similar manner, though “The Loge,” the piece that he displayed in the first Impressionist exhibition that year, owes a psychological debt to Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas. The work displayed temporarily at the Dixon is a small but polished sketch for the larger version that was in the Impressionist exhibition of 1874 and is owned by the Courtauld Institute of Art in London.

By 1878, Renoir had fully absorbed the principles of Impressionism. “The Umbrella” features the brilliant green, white, yellow and blue palette, the sun-dappled light and the merging of background and foreground that dominated the circle of Impressionist artists in the 1870s and ’80s.

In “The Loge,” Renoir offers an almost cinematic shot of two fashionable theatergoers in their box at the forward section of the mezzanine. The woman who sits in front, her hand clutching a small purse leaning on the balcony rail, gazes directly, imperturbably, at the viewer. Her dress and puffed sleeves are black and white stripes, while her ermine wrap, draped over her chair, continues the black-and-white theme. The abundance of flowers about her person — carnations at her waist and in her hair and a single flower that calls attention to her pale décolletage — and the extravagance of her dangling earrings and multitude of necklaces perhaps indicate that the woman inhabits the less-than-respectable demimonde of courtesans, mistresses, dancers and actresses that defined Parisian nightlife.

Her handsome and solemn escort, meanwhile, dressed in white tie and tails — it is evidently pre-showtime or intermission — uses his opera glasses, held in one white-gloved hand, to examine the crowd in the boxes and balconies on the other side of the theater. It seems that the real drama is not on stage.

How different are Renoir’s concerns four years later! The drama in “The Umbrella” lies not in any human relationships or social or cultural narrative, but in the paint itself, in the brisk flurry of brushstrokes and in the netting of sunlight that falls flamboyantly on a riot of bloom. The model sits patiently, and rather extraneously, in the shade of an arbor — its cross-hatched shadow marks the lower right of the painting — and of her white parasol, while behind her rises a prodigal mass of flowers whose texture makes them indistinguishable from the pigment that depicts them. The focal point of the piece, however, is neither model nor flowers, but the slightly off-center device of the umbrella, so white-hot that it is incandescent. The artist layered on the paint here with his palette knife, signaling a necessity and a freedom new to European art. Get as close as you can (without the guard admonishing you) to see the remarkable effect.

 

Ironically, or merely in the course of his personal development as an artist, Renoir, within a few years, backed away from this kind of Impressionism. After a period of study in Italy and under the influence of ancient Roman and Italian Renaissance art, he forsook the improvisational air of Impressionism for a more Classical sense of composition and subject, embarking on the long series of monumental female nudes that made him famous and occupied him until his death in 1919.
