Faith saved us from the savages that we were, losing faith makes us savages again
(Comenzado el 03 de noviembre de 2022 escuchando a “Elvin Jones Trio, Rotterdam, 1968”) Las cosas parecen cambiar pero no han cambiado… Quizá las gafas están sucias… No voy a hablar en contra de las universidades ni de la educación. Si voy a hablar de los cambios. Os diré que yo fui universitario y recibí […]
LA UNIVERSIDAD, LOS SABIOS Y LOS NOMBRES
Este cuadro, que no tiene firma y que es atribuido a Leonardo da Vinci, fue vendido en subasta de Sotheby’s en 2017 por $450,3 millones. La garantía del comprador, supuestamente un jeque árabe que guarda el cuadro en su mega yate, se vence muy pronto y aun no se sabe quien verdaderamente pintó el cuadro. Los expertos que antes de la subasta certificaron el cuadro y afirmaron que es obra de Leonardo, ahora parece ser que ni se habían enterado que estaban haciendo. Fue una certificación informal todo…
Personalmente no creo que haya sido un cuadro de Leonardo, aunque puede parecerse a algunos de los del pintor florentino. Pero es que también puede parecerse al de muchos pintores de la época. Al fin y al cabo, a Leonardo lo reconocen ahora como un genio, eso dicen, pero en su época no era tal cosa y en su época abundaban pintores capaces de este cuadro y mucho mas.
Pero, que le vamos a hacer. La verdad jamás la vamos a saber… Lo que si sabemos es que es el cuadro mas caro…de los que se han vendido…de la historia. Eso me deja realmente sin cuidado porque no entiendo como alguien pudo haber pagado tantos millones por un cuadro que ni siquiera se sabe, con certeza, quien lo ha pintado…

This painting, which bears no signature and which is attributed to Leonardo da Vinci was sold at auction in Sotheby’s in 2017 for $450,3 million. The warranty of the buyer, supposedly an Arab Sheik who keeps the painting in his luxury mega yacht, is about to expire. And we still do not know who painted it. The experts, conferring prior to the auction, supposedly certified and affirmed that it was a Leonardo, but now it seems like they thought it was an informal meeting, and thus an informal conclusion of attribution…
Personally I do not believe that this painting was painted by Leonardo, although it may resemble some of his other works. But it also looks like it could be the work of many others from his time. After all, Leonardo is now regarded…by some…as a genius, but during his day he was no such thing and he happened to live in an age when there were many other fully capable painters of having painted «Salvator Mundi» and much more.
But what can we do. The truth we will never know… What we do know is that the highest priced painting in the world…of those who have been sold…has its warranty up. Let us see what happens… In truth I care little about the hundreds of millions paid because I just cannot understand how anyone can pay that much money for a painting who no one really knows who painted it…
Leonardo da Vinci
Gracias…

Tremendo compromiso con la lucha, ¿No? Se están arriesgando la puta vida.
Pues claro, ese pegamento que utilizan, ¿No es derivado del petróleo?
Mare meua! Que riesgo, el de entrar a un museo con una lata de sopa y echarla sobre un cuadro que esta protegido con un cristal…
Gillipolleces y nada mas…
¿Que tiene que ver el arte con la supuesta lucha contra el petróleo o contra cualquier otra cosa que estas activistas antisistema utilizan todos los días?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Wow, what a commitment to the «struggle»! Aren’t they risking their bloody lives?
Of course, that glue that they are using, isn’t it made, somehow, with a derivative of oil?
Good grief! What a risk it is to enter a museum with a can of soup and then pour it over a work of art protected with a glass!
Asinine behaviour, nothing more!
What does art have to do with the supposed struggle against oil or a struggle against anything else that these anti-establishment folk say they stand for?

El arte no es parte del arsenal disponible para luchar contra las cosas negativas e inmundas que nos rodean…
Art is not part of the arsenal of things available for the struggle against the negative and harmful things that surround us…
Gracias…

Adding nothing to the narrative or to the conversation about art is what they are doing when they bring up the «fact» that a painting by Piet Mondrian was hung, supposedly «upside down» in a German museum. And I say that this narrative/conversation means nothing because abstract art does not necessarily have to be hung «right side up» for it to be valid or for it to make sense. And in any event, to not risk damaging the painting, it will remain «upside down».
Abstract art removes itself from the metaphor of life, therefore it does not require the same rules as figurative art, which is making a realistic statement of life. Therefore, it makes no difference which way it is hung. Think of Jackson Pollock, he painted on the floor without caring, one way or another, where the top is and where the bottom is. Many times I have hung my abstract paintings in different ways just to bring out a different feel or emotion. Changing the perspective does not detract anything from the value of abstract art.
«New York City I 1941» was exhibited for the first time at the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in Manhattan in 1945. Since 1980 it hangs in the art collection of the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Düsseldorf. Susanne Meyer-Büser, curator for a new Mondrian exhibition, investigated and discovered the error. Her research led her to a photograph of Mondrian’s studio that was taken before his death and which was published in Town and Country magazine in June 1944. The photo shows the painting on the easel the right way. The painting is not signed and has no indication as to where the top is. Mondrian died without finishing this piece.
I wonder, if this is all a way to generate propaganda for the exhibition.
I invite you to delve deeper into abstract art… This video features, among others, work by Piet Mondrian.

CUANDO LA LÍNEA NEGRA NOS ABRE PASO
Cuando la línea negra nos abre paso, la existencia se convierte en plastilina y los sueños suelen ser tan sólidos como el mismo firmamento…
Cuando las ideas bailan al son de las guitarras y las panderetas, y las voces hacen coros con los trazos de mi lápiz, entonces las ventanas dejaran de tener mosquiteros y las terrazas telarañas…
Cuando los bocetos hablen en francés y los esquemas en coreano, será porque la tinta se ha secado en el tintero y el sol negro está lejano…
Pero la línea negra nos abraza, aunque nos escandalice, y nos abre paso al mar…
Nos abre paso al bosque, al riachuelo de aguas frías,
Nos demuestra que la vida es un sinfín de hojas moradas…

She rests her feet on the moon…
She is the Sea and lives in the Sea…
