Faith saved us from the savages that we were, losing faith makes us savages again
Quizá no tan conocido como otros pintores y escultores, pero vale la pena conocer su arte…
Perhaps he is not as popular as other painters and sculptors but it is definitely important to get to know his art…
Gracias…
Cheers…
Vamos que esta vale la pena conocer…
Come on folks, this one is worth knowing…
Gracias…

Now this is an artist I was not familiar with at all, and it doesn’t surprise me because I do not like any of his works. So why am I writing about him? Because he is an artist, he is part of Art History and because one of my favourite museums in Madrid, the Thyssen-Bornemisza is doing a retrospective of his work….
André Butzer was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1973 (then West Germany). He now lives in Rangsdorf, a small, but beautiful municipality not far from Berlin. He is supposed to be a «semi-abstract» painter, (whatever that is, if someone knows, please explain it to me). His main interest, supposedly, are comics. His work, as you will see, is infantile and rather naif. He uses mainly (I would even venture to say exclusively) primary colours, unmixed and most likely just squeezed from the tube. He doesn’t seem to me to spend too much time thinking about composition or colour scheme and when it comes to titling his work he doesn’t even think at all as most of his paintings are titled «Untitled.»
Most of his exhibitions have been in his native land and this retrospective in Madrid is the only one he has ever had outside of it. Here are some of the paintings (22 in total) that you will see should you choose to attend.
Cheers…
Mi carrera profesional, se puede decir, comenzó en 2003 cuando obtuve la representación de una autentica galería (BG Art en Estambul). Desde esa primera experiencia, exponiendo junto a otros artistas europeos y demás, ha llovido mucho. En 2004 me pasé a exponer en Nueva York (Soho y Brooklyn), Miami, Sarasota y Bradenton en el estado de la Florida y el próximo año a Fuendetodos, en Aragón, España. Así es la vida y así va uno, andando por los trillos a veces y por los autovías después…

Everything is Possible but You by Francisco Bravo Cabrera
Ringo era el payaso de los Beatles, el baterista del cual John Lennon dijo que no era el mejor del mundo, que ni siquiera era el mejor en The Beatles. Claro, lo dijo aludiendo a que Paul era un excelente baterista. Hale, pero hemos llegado a querer a este pequeñín tan simpatico y le deseamos largos años de vida creativa. Sorprendentemente los otros Beatles estaban un poco preocupados por el futuro de Ringo cuando la banda se deshizo, pero Ringo ha tenido éxito tras éxito desde la ruptura y sigue. Bueno, espero que disfrutéis de la canción de la mitad de la semana (que es más que una canción) y del Ringo Starr All Star Band…

Ringo was the funny Beatle, the drummer of whom John Lennon said wasn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles (knowing that Paul was an excellent drummer) but we’ve come to love this little chap. We wish him long years and much creativity. Surprisingly (to the other Beatles) when the band broke up they thought he might have a rough go at it, but as it is, Ringo did smashing good. Always been a fan. So here is the «song» for the middle of the week, really it is more than one song, so enjoy the concert of the Ringo Starr All Star Band!
Cheers…
Para concluir este viaje pictórico a esta bella ciudad…. Y como dije en los dos anteriores vídeos, («Cienfuegos, la perla del Sur» y «Cienfuegos, Segunda parte«) no estoy tratando de darle propaganda a un país comunista, donde un gobierno tiránico, anacrónico y brutal avasalla y reprime cruelmente a su pueblo, pero para aquel que aún sabiendo esto quiera ir, que no se pierda una visita a esta maravillosa ciudad en la costa sureña, la «Perla del Sur.»

As I conclude this pictorial trip to this beautiful city… And like I said in the other two previous videos («Cienfuegos, la Perla del Sur» y «Cienfuegos, Segunda Parte«), I am not trying to give publicity to a country governed by a communist dictatorship, cruel, anachronistic and tyrannical that reduces its citizens to vassals and subjects them to severe restrictions of freedom, but to whoever wants to go, even knowing this, then don’t miss a visit to the southern coast and this marvellous city, the «Pearl of the South.»

Bueno, como he dicho en el primer vídeo «Cienfuegos» yo no abogo por que se visite países gobernados por regímenes comunistas, pero si tienes que ir, no dejes de visitar esta bella ciudad en la costa del sur, la «Perla del Sur.»

Well, like I had said in the previous video, «Cienfuegos,» I am not in favour of travel to countries dominated by communist governments, but if you must visit Cuba, do not miss a trip to this beautiful city on the southern coast, the «Pearl of the South.»

Although I do not advocate travel to a country under a communist dictatorship, if you must go don’t miss this beautiful city, the pearl of the south…
