1957! Ciertamente un año histórico pues el 6 de julio del mismo se conocieron John Lennon y Paul McCartney y bueno, ya sabéis lo que pasó después… Pero esa no fue la historia que se hizo porque en 1957 ocurrieron varias cosas muy interesantes para la historia de la música y del arte y de la vida… Estoy preparando un vídeo de los acontecimientos de ese año… En 1957 ocurrió algo terrible aquí en mi ciudad (Valencia) que dio lugar a que naciera algo fenomenal, ya lo vais a ver…

1957! Certainly a historic year because on July 6th, John Lennon and Paul McCartney met, and well, you know what happened next… But that wasn’t the only significant story of 1957. Several very interesting things happened that year that affected the history of music, of art, and of life… I’m preparing a video about the events of that year… In 1957, something terrible happened here in my city (Valencia) that led to the birth of something phenomenal, you’ll see…

#poem, #photography, «The Moon»

(«Moon» Art Digital by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

Under her wings, under her wings, enormous and white,
under her wings there is
refuge,
warmth,
stillness,
and sleep and
under her wings I wait and
I pass through the storm.

I call, and I call, and I call with a voice that roars
beneath wings,
protected,
satisfied and
I ask myself,
who will protect me?

Alone, I would be at the mercy of wolves and foxes,
idiots and fools,
blind men and brutes
that devour the souls of men
and chew the flesh of women.
They spit out fire
and they look gorgeous
In the dark.

The moon is the sun of the night
whose surface no one has touched
or ever will,
as only She can places her feet
on such a dais
when the stars of heaven
crown her with light.

And I, beneath her wings,
her cloak,
smile.

#art, A Few Questions for You to Ponder and Reply (please)

(Art Digital original «The Artist and the Muse*» by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

I have some questions for all who wish to reply…

  1. Does art mix with politics?
  2. Should artists get involved with politics?
  3. Can art, (not that which is made for political propaganda) influence others politically or socially?
  4. If you thought that artists should not get involved with politics, can you tell me who should?
  5. If you thought that art does not mix with politics, can you tell me what does mix with politics and what mixes with art?

I look forward to your opinions, and please, always remember that the only thing we proffer is opinions, there are very few facts out there.

Cheers…

* This painting depicts the artist (I thought about doing a portrait of Francisco Goya) in a pensive mood, seemingly floating on the blue waters of a «creative» sea, while the «muse» looks from the side, taking on a rather sinister appearance…

#poem, “Song of Heaven”

(Photo property of FBC/All Rights Reserved)

The Creator’s glory is the song of Heaven…

The sky proclaims the work of His will…

Day communicates to day, night murmurs to night…

Not a word spoken, not a syllable pronounced yet His voice thunders

and throughout the Earth His sound is heard,

and to the limits of the Universe his word will spread…

#art, «Thoughts Dreams» as a Fine Art Print

(«Thoughts Dreams» by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

The image above is the framed print of this original work of «Art Digital» that I have just included in my Pixel gallery, but there are more ways you can have this print hanging on your wall… Pixels handles the entire transaction and ships to you quickly.

Choose original art as gifts this holiday season and if you want to find something good, different and still very much original, check out my fine art prints at Pixels/Fine Art America. I have selected several of the images of my original work and have allowed this company to convert them into high quality fine art prints in many forms and on many items. They are beautiful and quite affordable. Check out my gallery at Pixels here.
