#artvideo, Leonora Carrington – Surrealist Painter

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

A Leonora Carrington la clasificaron como surrealista pero eso no le hace justicia ya que era mucho mas. Pintaba mitología, historia y además esculpía y escribía también. Leonora si fue una verdadera feminista, no de estas de pacotilla que lo que quieren hacer es crear odio contra los hombres y lo hacen por política. Leonora trabajó, pensó y fue fundadora del movimiento feminista mexicano que surgió en los años 70. En Mexico logro mucha arte y familia también y allí, en la ciudad de Mexico, murió en 2011 a los 94 años de edad.

Leonora Carrington was classified as a surrealist painter, however, she was much more than just that. She painted mythology, history, literature and she wrote extensively and sculpted. She thrived in Mexico City and died in her home there in 2011. She was a true feminist, not one of those dedicated to the destruction of the male gender, and a founding member of the Feminist Movement of Mexico which began in the 1970’s.

#music, A Song for Thursday, (the Middle of the Week)

(Felix Pappalardi/Leslie West/Mountain/1970/San Francisco/photo Goldmine Magazine)

You see, the thing about music is that it is organic, it is developing, growing, making new sounds, renewing itself and reaching beyond expectations. Musicians that you love, because you love their style or type of music, listen to much more music than you do, and they listen to many styles that you don’t even probably care for. That is what keeps them growing, and keeps you buying their work, which you should as we all should support art in any way that it comes…

Well, with «Mississippi Queen» by Mountain you can hear all of that hard work… Rock music evolved (and not a reference to Darwin) and developed with the artistry of all those who participated, that continue to participate and will participate always because Rock and Roll is here to stay and Rock and Roll will never die!

Enjoy…

Cheers…

#art, La abstraccion en Omnia Caelum Studios – Abstract Art at Omnia Caelum Studios

La abstracción… Venga, no me canso de hablar de la abstracción porque tiene tela, si tela marinera… Y lo que mas me pica es que muchos «artistas» piensan que la abstracción se hace solo poniendo manchas de pintura sobre la tela, o sobre cualquier sostén. Y nada que ver. La abstracción surge como un movimiento artístico, vanguardia del Siglo XX, y para hacer un cuadro abstracto hay que saber hacer un cuadro figurativo. El cuadro abstracto va a presentarle al pintor los mismos problemas que uno figurativo, además, tiene que surgir de una referencia, una referencia interna en el pintor y todas esas cosas hace que la abstracción sea algo difícil de realizar.

Abstract Art… Well, I never tire of talking about abstract art because there is a lot, a lot to talk about… But what really irks me is that a lot of «artists» think that to make an abstract painting all you have to do is spread. splash, drip or rub paint on a canvas or on any other surface. And it is nothing of the sort. Abstract art comes out of an art movement, it was one of the vanguards of the XXth Century. To create an abstract painting you need an internal reference, as a painter, and you will face the same problems that you would when creating a figurative one. And finally, to paint abstract paintings you need to know how to paint figuratively. Good, valuable art is hard to create.
