Art History, P#2: Fra Filippo Lippi

Welcome to part 2 of this new Art History limited series. We started with Fra Angelico, and now we continue with another Quatrocentist painter whose work is very important in the development of Renaissance art, and that, of course, created the masters…classics…who still influence artists today. Cheers…

#poem, “September”

SEPTEMBER They picked up the lounge chairs.They closed up the bar.They took down the names of the singer, the dancer,and the gypsy, the one with the magic guitar. The sand is now empty,umbrellas are packed,the dancers have left.The sun?Not as hot as it was back in August,when Flamenco nights were hot and fluid,with music flying

And I am also known as Francisco Bravo Cabrera… Well…an artist creates a painting, a sculpture; a composer a song or a symphony, and perhaps many tunes in between; a choreographer creates a ballet, a modern or jazz dance. But I am a painter. Although I did create…back in 1997…my “greatest” work, I call him

Art: Abstract Art “BLUESTER” by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

Abstract art? Really? Well…

I painted the above and then photographed it and “dealt” with it digitally to convert it into an NFT (Non-Fungible-Token). I call it the “Bluester”, because there is a blue rooster in the painting…

So, is it abstract? Being that most of the painting is created with the pure power of colour, I would say yes it is.

Abstract art is not just random colours, lines, drippings or scribbling. Abstract art contains the same problems as figurative. The most difficult aspect of abstract art is that the reference is internal, within the mind’s eye of the artist.

Abstract art has to follow the same rules as figurative. The artist must search, investigate and plan the colour, the composition and even the “style”, as there are differences…

Let me know what you think, especially if you are an abstract artist.
