Uno de mis cuadros olvidados en el vetusto atelier de Miami…

Es de 2007 y refleja, bueno, tres toros…

Aquí hay más:

Yoko! You’ve done it again! I never thought you would imagine…

But you did, or did you? I think the name comes from that song that your deceased husband released back in 1971, I think the name was «Imagine», no?

Well, this is nothing more than another one of your «zen» musings, or your «radical thoughts», right Yoko Ono?

Wrong…

It’s another stupid installation by the conceptual artist Yoko Ono, (who really thought hard on a title for this one!), you know the one that brought is the Wish Tree, the Bed-In and the Lighting piece (where she instructs us to light a match and stare at it until it goes out), and the Instruction Pieces where she asks us to smoke everything, even our pubic hair or to go out and step on every puddle in the city (although it may not be the rainy season)…

Yoko, I know you’ve a lot of money, after all you did inherit a pretty penny, and you can afford to indulge yourself in these fits of fancy, thinking you are bringing peace to the world, or love, or unity, or, well, frankly, stupidity is what I think, but can’t you just settle down into your old age and leave us alone?

Well folks, you never know. These signs, your «Imagine Peace» installations, are probably coming to every city in the world, even to your insignificant little village. And I am sure that coming generations will look back upon 2022 and say, «my word, she did bring about world peace!»

Para honrar el mes del orgullo, he publicado tres artículos y tres vídeos acerca del «arte queer». Este movimiento artístico, patrimonio de la comunidad LGTB+ no es cosa nueva, es antiquísimo, pero en otras épocas no se les permitía hacerlo abiertamente como ahora.

Ojala disfrutéis de este pequeño esfuerzo, pues, sin importarle a nadie la orientación sexual de los demás, debemos pensar que todos merecemos el mismo respeto, pues a nadie le importa con quien se acuesta nadie, ni nadie tiene derecho a juzgar quien ama a quien. No os acordáis que Los Beatles nos machucaron bien la frase de «All You Need is Love»?

As part of my honouring Pride month, this is my third video-article on the Art of Queer. This movement in art, being the art of gays, lesbians, trans et al, is quite old…existed forever…but never actually been in the limelight as much as it is now.

I hope you enjoy as we all should, regardless of our own sexual orientation, it is time that everyone’s sexual orientation and lifestyle be respected. These people deserve to have pride in themselves and in whom they love. After all, didn’t The Beatles say that All You Need is Love?

Gracias…

Cheers…

Although I do not necessarily like to divide art into «normal» and «gay» art, well the division does exist and we should know it well as it is now part of Art History.

Cheers…

Art of the LGBT+ community and about the LGTB+ lifestyle. This is just an introduction as every letter of LGTB has many examples of art and artists, both living and dead. It is part of Art History and worth looking at and studying.

Next video for Pride month will be about the Patron Saint of Queer, San Sebastian. Stay tuned…

Una ciudad que me encanta, pero no solo por su belleza ni por su significado historico en nuestro pais, pero mas que nada por su gente…

Turkey’s Aegean Coast is one of my favourite places on Earth! Here is what I saw and experienced during the last summer (2019) before the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020…

Cuba, being the «prohibited» land for most citizens of the United States, has become a most preferred destination. For Europeans Cuba has always been available, so there is no mystery, but the allure of a beautiful tropical island…

I visited twice, my last visit to Cienfuegos, «La perla del sur» («The Pearl of the South») was in 2016. I truly enjoyed that small city which was founded by French immigrants from Bordeaux in 1819.

Here are some of the places and things that I saw:
