Candle#06 - Epidauro

Epidauro lugar de Esculápio

O eco da História agita o anfiteatro

não há silêncios possiveis

aqui

o sol cura todas as enfermidades

da alma

omnipresentes,

milhares de oferendas,

ex-votos,

lágrimas,

feridas e vidas

Em Epidauro não há silêncios possíveis,

apenas sorrisos cúmplices,

Magia, magia de almas desencantadas,

Dramas, comédias que ficaram por declamar.

Em Epidauro respira-se Sófocles,

Em Epidauro respira-se Calas....

NB//Matisse to Malevich. Pioneers of modern art.

Outstanding works by Matisse, Picasso, Van Dongen, De Vlaminck, Derain and many other contemporaries of theirs will be seen in a magnificent display from 6 March 2010 to 17 September 2010 at the Hermitage Amsterdam in the exhibition Matisse to Malevich. Pioneers of modern art from the Hermitage. For this exhibition about 75 paintings have been selected from the Hermitage St.- Petersburg, which has one of the world’s finest collections of French painting of the early twentieth century. Apart from the world-famous French masters, such equally celebrated Russian contemporaries as Malevich and Kandinsky will be represented. These artists are seen as the pioneers of Modernism. Almost all the works exhibited are on permanent display in St. Petersburg. Most come originally from the Moscow collections of Morozov and Shchukin. This is the first time that this extensive collection of avant-garde masterpieces will be on display in the Netherlands. The exhibition explores the origins of modern art as an art historical phenomenon, but also looks at the passion of the artists, when at a crucial moment in art history at the beginning of the last century they initiated a revolution in art.http://www.hermitagemuseum.org

Vanitas #Março2010#

As VANITAS (vaidades) são as expressões artísticas que traduzem, de maneira simbólica e num registo eloquente, sibilino, a nossa relação conflituosa com a morte. São formas artísticas históricas, datadas no tempo (e no entanto de sentido intemporal), que nos confrontam com a maior doença colectiva da humanidade, que é a angústia que resulta da consciência aguda da mortalidade.Imagem:VEGAS VANITAS "The Fifth Plague”, (based on J.M.W. Turner: “The Fifth Plague of Egypt” 1800), 2001, oil on linen, 48” x 66”
