#art, Picasso y Dora Maar – Picasso and Dora Maar
Dora Maar fue una mujer extraordinaria que, lamentablemente, se le recuerda mas por ser amante de Pablo Picasso que por sus propios méritos…y venga que los tenía…como fotógrafa y artista…
Pero bueno, todo está en el vídeo, échale un vistazo y dime lo que piensas…
Dora Maar was an extraordinary woman who, lamentably, is remembered more for being one of the women of Picasso than for her own merits…which she certainly had…as a photographer and artist…
Well, it is all in the video, take a look and tell me what you think…
Gracias…

#art, Important Women Artists…
Berenice Abbott was an American photographer born in Ohio in 1898…
She started her studies at Ohio State University, then in 1918 she relocated to Manhattan and started studying painting and sculpture. In 1921 she went to Paris to continue with her studies and studied sculpture with Emile Bourdelle. Bourdelle, French sculptor, was a student of Rodin, and a teacher to Giacometti and Matisse. He was a vanguard artist and a major proponent of Art Deco and an important part of the Belle Époque movement…
In France she met Man Ray and became his assistant. She then began to develop her art and started taking portraits of other artists…
Man Ray was an American photographer born in Philadelphia in 1890 but spent most of his life in Paris. He is renowned as a fashion photographer and for the many portraits he took of famous people…
But we are focusing on Berenice Abbott and you can see many of her incredibly delicious photographs that I have placed in this video. Don’t miss it!

My Philosophy of Art and Life…
I believe in art, not as a power to reveal or as a power to transform life, as I think the one who finds revelation and transforms is the artist. The artist grows with the search, and as I have said many times before, art is the search…
Wisdom is a gift from God. And yes! I believe, absolutely, in God. Why? Because I am a student of life, of nature and of man and I have come to the only realistic conclusion which is we are creatures of God. God is and has always been…
I believe that art serves several purposes, including to beautify and decorate walls, but also to transmit ideas, feelings and emotions as it speaks to the eternal present in which we exist…
The spirituality in art comes from its contemporary nature. The painter needs to paint what exists in his lifetime. If he doesn’t his work is dead…
The artist is a philosopher that expresses his philosophy on canvas…
The artist must speak of everything and must be aware of all things going on in his «polis,» in other words in his town, community, country. Who better than someone with knowledge, experience and wisdom to speak on things…

#art, Mi filosofía sobre el arte y la vida…
Creo en el arte, no como poder revelador, ni como transformador de la vida. El artista se transforma con la búsqueda, porque el arte es la búsqueda…
La sabiduría es un regalo de Dios, y sí, creo en Dios porque me fijo en todo lo que me rodea, estudio la naturaleza y estudio al hombre. Por eso no me caben dudas que Dios es y siempre ha sido…
Creo que el arte sirve para embellecer nuestra existencia y decorar nuestras paredes, pero también para expresar ideas, comunicar sentimientos y hablar del presente, del eterno presente…
Lo espiritual del arte es su contemporaneidad. El pintor tiene que reflejar su época, de no hacerlo, su obra queda muerta en vida…
El artista es un filosofo que expresa sus ideas en el lienzo…
El artista tiene que hablar de todo y estar al tanto de todas las cosas que pasan en el «polis» o sea en la ciudad, en la comunidad y el país. Quien mejor para hablar que uno que ha adquirido experiencia, sabiduría y aprendizaje…

#music, Music for a Saturday Morning… Art Pepper…
«Patricia,» was written by Art Pepper in 1978. Art Pepper, born in Los Angeles, California in 1925, started his career playing with Stan Kenton and Benny Carter. From there he went to become one of the great ones of what came to be called West Coast Jazz, along with another great trumpet player, Chet Baker.
He became addicted to drugs in the late 1960’s and joined Synanon, a group to rehabilitate drug addicts. He did return, clean, to recording in the mid 70’s. He wrote his autobiography Straight Life: the Story of Art Pepper in1979, co-written with his then wife Laurie Pepper. It is an exceptional book.
Art Pepper wrote this gorgeous ballad for his daughter, whose name, of course, was Patricia. He died from complications from a stroke in 1982. His health had been negatively affected, and had greatly deteriorated by his prison sentences, fifteen years in three prisons, and his addiction and recuperación. He would die at the age of only 56 years.
Awards received: DownBeat Readers’ Poll, second (to Charlie Parker), best altoist, 1951-52; DownBeat Critics’ Poll, best altoist deserving wider recognition, 1957 and 1977; DownBeat Critics’ Poll, best established altoist, 1980; Swing Journal record of the year, 1980.

#art, Jorge Oteiza, ¿Lo conocéis?
No se habla mucho de Oteiza, pero el si habló bastante. Aquí os voy a presentar, a través de sus ideas, la obra de este escultor de la vanguardia de la década de los 1950…
«…estaba destinado a ser artista. Mi habilidad con el dibujo y mi aversión hacia las matemáticas no eran casuales. Lo mío era más la creación y, a trancas y barrancas, lo he mantenido» (Noticias de Álava)
«Quién avanza creando algo nuevo, lo hace como un remero, avanzando adelante pero remando de espaldas, mirando atrás, hacia el pasado, hacia aquello existente, para poder reinventar sus claves.» (Desconocido origen de la cita)
«El arte no transforma nada, no cambia nada el mundo, no cambia la realidad. Lo que verdaderamente transforma el artista, mientras evoluciona, transforma y completa sus lenguajes, es a sí mismo. Y es este hombre, transformado por el arte, el que puede, desde la vida, transformar la realidad.» (Desconocido origen de la cita)
Creo que nos vamos dando cuenta del carácter de Oteiza y del tipo de artista que fue. Y se nos hace claro una cosa que dijo, y lo voy a parafrasear asi, mas o menos, pues dijo que no estudio escultura para poder realizar el arte del escultor, sino para conocer lo que era la escultura y cuando se hizo escultor, ya sabiéndolo, lo dejo…
Si no conocíais a este escultor vasco, nacido en Guipúzcoa en 1908 y fallecido en Donostia en 2003, te urjo a que busques mas sobre sus pensamientos (y sus libros) y su obra. Obra que influyó, ciertamente, a otro gran escultor vasco, Eduardo Chillida. Estoy seguro que a este lo conocéis mejor…
Gracias…
Bon dia – buongiorno – Καλημέρα
Me quedo alucinando cuando veo que tantos, que hablan hasta por los codos, cuando se trata de hablar de los temas que más nos interesan, se callan… Hablar, si puedes y sabes, es un deber y ofende cuando optas por hacer mutis…
