Leonard Cohen / Tomasz Rut | Il vero amore non lascia tracce...

Come la nebbia non lascia ferite
Sul verde cupo della collina
Così il mio corpo non lascia ferite
Su di te e non lo farà mai.
Nel buio oltre le finestre
Vanno e vengono i bambini
Come frecce senza bersaglio
Come manette fatte di neve

As the mist leaves no scar
On the dark green hill
So my body leaves no scar
On you and never will
Through windows in the dark
The children come, the children go
Like arrows with no targets
Like shackles made of snow

Sydney Long | Art Nouveau / Symbolist painter

Sydney Long (1871-1955) is Australia's foremost Art Nouveau style painter and a major Symbolist. In works such as The Spirit of the plains 1897, Pan 1898 and Fantasy c 1914, as well as in his many versions of Flamingoes, he created magical images.
Long's Art Nouveau paintings are like reveries, an escape from the everyday; they create a feeling of spiritual elevation, of another reality. And yet, seeking imagery which conveyed the 'lonely and primitive feelings of this country', he captured something of the soul and tone of the Australian bush.

Zoltan Molnos | The Transylvanian Dalí

It is now more than 80 years since the Surrealism, in a smoky Parisian café, was officially born, After long decades of peak and slow agony, when the world was still celebrating its most famous master, Salvador Dali, far from the French and Spanish lands, in a small Transylvanian town, inhabited by hard-working people of Hungarian minority, the surrealism had its second birth on the canvas of a that time unknown young Romanian painter, Zoltán Molnos.
It might seem curious that the surrealism, the most spectacular limb of the avant-garde movement, which had its philosophy in protesting against the inhumanity of the “civilised” world, had its renaissance in a city from Romania.

Leonard Cohen & Michael Parkes ~ Questo è per te...

Michael Parkes
Questo è per te
è il mio intero cuore
è il libro che ti avrei letto
quando fossimo stati vecchi
Adesso sono un'ombra
Sono senza pace come un impero
Tu sei la donna
che mi ha reso libero
Ti ho vista guardare la luna
Non hai esitato
ad amarmi con essa
Ti ho vista onorare gli anemoni
colti tra le rocce
mi hai amato con essi
Sulla sabbia liscia
tra i ciottoli e la spiaggia
mi hai accolto nel cerchio
meglio ancora di come si accoglie un ospite

Alan Douar | Quando ti chiedi cos'è l'amore...

Quando ti chiedi cos'è l'amore,
immagina due mani ardenti
che si incontrano,
due sguardi perduti l'uno nell'altro,
due cuori che tremano
di fronte all'immensità di un sentimento,
e poche parole
per rendere eterno un istante.

When you ask what love is,
imagine two burning hands encountered,
two eyes lost in each other,
two hearts that tremble faced
with the enormity of a feeling,
and a few words to
make a moment forever.

Christof Monnin, 1968 | Palette knife painter


French painter Christof Monnin was born in Lyon, France. The self-taught artist exposed his works for the first time in the age of 17 years and immediately won recognition and the main prize.
Being an adherent of a bright palette, he masterfully mixes colors, excellently combining almost incompatible red with the golden yellow.
Even more often working with a palette knife, making lines stiffer, he reaches a certain aggression in the transfer of forms which makes his works even more realistic. Peering into his works, it is possible to see, how a warm southern wind hardly sways flowers on a tree branches.

La crisi secondo Albert Einstein

"Non pretendiamo che le cose cambino se continuiamo a farle nello stesso modo.
La crisi può essere una vera benedizione per ogni persona e per ogni nazione,
perché è proprio la crisi a portare progresso.
La creatività nasce dall'angoscia, come il giorno nasce dalla notte oscura.
È nella crisi che nasce l'inventiva, le scoperte e le grandi strategie.

My success comes from people feeling the same satisfaction that I myself felt upon completing the painting".

L'Abbraccio ~ VideoArt

► Peter Wever, 1950 ~ Embrace
Peter Wever, 1950
"Quanti significati sono celati dietro un abbraccio.. Che cos'è un abbraccio se non comunicare, condividere e infondere qualcosa di sé ad un'altra persona.. Un abbraccio è esprimere la propria esistenza a chi ci sta accanto, qualsiasi cosa accada, nella gioia che nel dolore. Esistono molti tipi di abbracci, ma i più veri ed i più profondi sono quelli che trasmettono i nostri sentimenti.

Vincenzo Cardarelli ~ Autunno veneziano/Venetian Autumn

L'alito freddo e umido m'assale
di Venezia autunnale,
Adesso che l'estate,
sudaticcia e sciroccosa,
d'incanto se n'è andata,
una rigida luna settembrina
risplende, piena di funesti presagi,
sulla città d'acque e di pietre
che rivela il suo volto di medusa
contagiosa e malefica.
