Poem: “And if I don’t Believe You?”

You who come like lightning in the night skies…

You who are the symbol of “the” truth…

You who light the way when evening’s sun dies…

You who guided my first thoughts from youth…

You who claim the high ground of morality…

You who are the champion right or wrong…

You that strokes our egos and our vanities…

Tell me when to sing a brand new song…

You that tells me what to think and smiling,

pat my shoulder, wink at me and nod,

what would you say if I told you quite frankly,

I don’t believe a single word you spoke…

Art History: The Spanish Renaissance in Paintings

Welcome back to our series on art history. We continue with some painters of the Spanish Renaissance. And we hope that this will provoke you to seek more, research more and investigate. Art history is very important to both artists, who need to know it and know it well, and to art collectors or lovers of art who will appreciate the art they love so much more. We would like to feature the Renaissance art of other European countries, if there are many likes to videos like this one. So if you promise to give us a like, we promise to continue with the series. Stay in touch.

Bienvenidos de nuevo a nuestra serie sobre historia del arte. Continuamos con algunos pintores del Renacimiento español. Y esperamos que esto os provoque a buscar más, investigar más y profundizar. La historia del arte es muy importante tanto para los artistas, que necesitan conocerla y conocerla bien, como para los coleccionistas de arte, o amantes del arte. Vais a apreciar mucho más el arte que tanto amáis. Nos gustaría presentaros el arte renacentista de otros países europeos, si encontramos muchos «me gusta» en los vídeos como este. Así que si prometéis darnos un «me gusta», prometemos continuar con la serie. Seguiremos en contacto.

Aquí algunas cuestiones para cuestionar…

Here are some questions to question…

¿Será bueno que los artistas se hagan pasar por filósofos?

¿Valdrá la pena componer unos versos o una breve explicación o definición del arte?

¿A quien le importa lo que piensa el artista? Si total, el artista os va a decir que lo que realmente importa es lo que veis sobre el lienzo o el papel.

Y si el mundo es un huevo, ¿de que ave será?

———————————

Is it good that artists assume the role of philosophers?

Is it worth it to compose a few verses or a short narrative to explain what art is?

Who really cares what the artist thinks? After all the artist is only going to tell you that what is important is what is on the canvas or paper.

And if the world is an egg, what bird laid it?

Poem: “The World is Small and Far Away”

(«It’s a Small World»/Francisco Bravo Cabrera/ All Rights Reserved)

The world is far away and very small,

forever fills my eyes with little visions,

the strangeness of it all creates illusions,

of those that were once big and now are small.

We drift, we float, we swim when high tide conquers

the million grains of sand that plague our shores,

and then we rest, we drink, we smoke, we chase the thunder,

while Earth finds new beginnings, and humble souls do soar…

We all want more of those bright rays of light…

We all want more of that sweet taste of honey…

We all want more caresses, kisses, hugs…

We all want one more day, clean, bright and sunny…

We strive to be like those that pray and listen,

and learn,

and find true wisdom,

and then, when pure of heart and free from all our chains,

we find the way that God laid out for us to follow,

we’ll leave behind this small, flat world and drift so free above the deep dark hollow.

Enjoy a Beautiful Day!

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

God has given us light, and it is useful. In the light we grow our food, raise our animals and create wonderful things. And for that light I am grateful. Under the light we are never alone and never lost.

Just some thoughts

Peace comes from justice.

Justice comes from knowledge.

Awareness is a gift we must exercise daily.

Silence is golden.

Prayer is understanding.

Love is the supreme gift.

God is our creator.

PEACE
