Unfortunately, this desire to have beauty and to please folks m
We drive with the windows rolled down and the air conditioning on. For on this hot summer day, it is not enough to be cool, but we must feel the breeze whip our hair around our faces as well. We have the music loud and it fills the air around us, drifting out the open windows and spilling into the road we leave behind.This is the feeling from my youth. This wild abandon. Running away from home. A
The gala presentation of "Michelangelo: La Dotta Mano" ("Michelangelo: The Wise Hand"), a volume of photographs of this Renaissance master's sculptures, may well have been the most lavish book debut in history.1 Vote(s)
Facciamo un quiz. Riconoscete quest’opera?
Sicuramente sì. Eppure pochi sanno che l’autore, Michelangelo, vi lasciò una firma molto particolare che per secoli non è stata notata da nessuno. E a torto o ragione, non ne parlano nemmeno i testi di storia dell’arte.

“Michelangelo’s ‘unsociableness’ has been seen as the typical attitude of what was known in the Renaissance as the vir melanchonicus, or the absorbed and solitary contemplator, wholly wrapped up in his art, for whom involvement in creative activity was transformed into suffering:”
“I am here in great distress and with great physical strain, and have no friends of any kind, nor do I want them; and I do not have enough time to eat as much as I need; my joy and my sorrow, my repose are these discomforts.”
- Michelangelo
If you're interested in great art a good place to find it is at universities.Cal State Fullerton has a really cool display of Michelango's David, only the twist is that it is "Fallen." By "fallen," they mean literally, it fell and it broke.The pieces were donated to CSUF by Forest Lawn Memorial Park, and are now presented in such a way that you can get close up and personal. I highly recommend this, because you will certainly be amazed at the anatomical detail in this famous work of art. Just the lines of the fingers alone are amazingly accurate. I felt they could come alive at any moment, and reach out. It really gives you a new perspective and appreciation for the talent of the great Michelangelo.Staring this closely into David's face is haunting in a way, and he seems to have an air of sadness to him. (That reminds me. Maybe a trip to Forest Lawn is in order...)It's Friday!!Keep up with me...

Antonioni 'nin "Blow Up" filmini izledikten sonra üç arkadaş bir süre konuşamamıştık.Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles ve David Hemmings'in oyunuyla gizemli bir arayışın öyküsünü usta işi bir polisiye film kurgusuyla ve Anglosakson etiği kılıfında bize ulaştıran bu İtalyan yönetmeni çok sevmiştim.Batıyı keşfetme yıllarımın başlangıcında benim düşünce dünyamda bir "Blow Up ".Sonraları hem anımsadım bu filmi.O zamanlar "Elips" 'in anlamını pek bilemiyordum .Filmin sonunda iki palyaçonun oynadığı topsuz bir tenis maçı sahnesi vardı .İngiltere'de bir parkta çekilen bir fotoğrafın içinde aranan gerçeğin öyküsü .David Hemmings bütün aralamalarına karşın bir sonuç elde edemez . Elinde koskoca bir hiç kalmıştır. Bir boşluk.Bir düş belki de .İşte Antonioni ile tanışmamın öyküsü.Gerçeği aramanın gerçeği bulmaktan daha önemli olduğunu sürekli anlatmaya çalışan bilge adamlardan biri daha aramızdan ayrıld

Michelangelo Antonioni muere a los 94 añosEl veterano cineasta italiano Michelangelo Antonioni murió la noche de lunes a los 94 años en su casa de Roma, el mismo día que el director sueco Ingmar Bergman, según comunicó hoy su familia.Sus exequias deberían ser celebradas el jueves a Ferrara, donde Antonioni nació el 29 de septiembre de 1912. Michelangelo Antonioni hizo sus estudios escolares en su ciudad natal, para luego seguir sus estudios universitarios en la universidad de Bolonia. El cineasta pasó pues su infancia y su adolescencia en los paisajes de bruma y lodo de la Italia del norte que lo marcarian para tu toda su vida.Educado en medio burgués, manifiestó muy temprano el amor hacia la literatura y las bellas artes,pintando, dibujando y escribiendo. A la edad de los veinte años, descubre el teatro y el cine. En el periódico local, publica sus primeros cuentos y, al mismo tiempo críticas sobre películas.Sus primeros artículos comenzaron a aparecer en las revistas
Probabilmente Dio ha intenzione di realizzare in questi giorni un festival del cinema in Paradiso: appena dopo Bergman, un altro gigante del cinema, Michelangelo Antonioni, vola al di là delle nuvole. All’età di 94 anni, muore il regista italiano autore di capolavori come “La notte”, “L’eclisse”, “Il grido”, “Professione: reporter”, “Zabriskie Point” e “Blow up”. Un amore per le donne e per l'animo umano che seppe raccontare dietro la cinepresa.http://amosgitai.blogspot.com
Michelangelo is no doubt one of the most talented and famous artists who has ever lived and the Sistine Chapel is a major artistic achievement, but have you ever studied the paintings? Apparently, Michelangelo had an excellent sense of humor and a very dirty mind. Click images for enlarged view.

I AM the BRAIN.Yes, I proudly admit it: behind all, there are MY IDEAS.Remember: think and you'll create the problem of disposal of ideas...I have that problem and this time I think I disposed them quite well.The fact is, I love beautiful things, I love art, I am sometimes obsessed by colors, by pixels, by beauty.And I like to be sorrounded by beautiful things.I cannot afford to buy them, so I REPRODUCE them, as well as my husband can.Because he is the "Deus ex Machina", the one who makes my ideas become reality.That is what I love in him and that is what he loves in me.A new idea every day, a new frescoes every day (well in this case it takes more than a day or two...)We like to show that the impossible IS POSSIBLE.It is enough you want it and you want it very much.(You also HAVE to want the things you are able to do of course)Let's go back to the beginning.How do I make Michelangel's frescoes?The first approach is like Michelangelo's.I study the wall. And I study my ideas.I think
Yes, we got it!And I guess Michelangelo WOULD BE very proud, very proud indeed, to be on my house's walls.It looks stunning, gorgeous, beautiful, and we are just in the beginning!I guess we are the FIRSTS to be able to reproduce on a 36 square meter wall Michelangelo's Flood and on other bigger walls Michelangelo's Adam and God.Or do you prefer Adam and Eve?It is a pity, I can just put small sizes on this Blog, it would be amazing to have the full size!!!Think and you'll have the problem of disposal of ideas...

In this wonderful 60s film from Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni, a girl going missing on an island sparks a journey, across Italy in one sense physical, and in a far more meaningful sense - emotional that will leave its protagonists changed forever. Much has been written about the film already - including an excellent critique in Senses Of Cinema and an interesting review on Roger Ebert's site, so really i feel very much like i'm going over old ground here. The title's ambiguity, translating both as The Adventure and The Fling is symptomatic really of the whole film's approach to narrative. There's barely a single shot in the film that's not executed to convey a variety of meanings and nuances - from the ever diminishing size of the key players in relation to their surroundings, to the use of deep focus photography to physically display the emtional distance between those characters. The lead couple - Claudio and Sandro believe, for a while that they have found love in e
