Dante Gabriel Rossetti | Lovesight / Visione d'Amore

Lovesight

When do I see thee most, beloved one?

When in the light the spirits of mine eyes

Before thy face, their altar, solemnize

The worship of that Love through thee made known?

Or when in the dusk hours (we two alone)

Close-kissed and eloquent of still replies

Thy twilight-hidden glimmering visage lies,

And my soul only sees thy soul its own?

Niccolò Paganini: "La felicità non esiste ma la si canta!"

▻ "The violin is my mistress, but the guitar is my master".

▻ "Paganini non ripete!"

▻ "Paganini does not repeat!"

▻ "My secret, if I can call it secret, will indicate the violinists the way to penetrate the instrument much better than what has been done until now and it can demonstrate them, that violin is much more full of opportunities than what is commonly believed.

This discovery is not due to chance, but it is due to a deep study and applying it will no longer be necessary to practice four or five hours a day, it will remove the current scholar method, which studies to make the instrument difficult instead of teaching it".

Herodotus | The father of History

Non voglio che tu sia lo zimbello del mondo.

Ti lascio il sole che lasciò mio padre a me.

Le stelle brilleranno uguali ed uguali ti indurranno

le notti a dolce sonno.

Il mare t'empirà di sogni. Ti lascio

il mio sorriso amareggiato: fanne scialo

ma non tradirmi. Il mondo è povero

oggi. S'è tanto insanguinato questo mondo

ed è rimasto povero. Diventa ricco

tu guadagnando l'amore del mondo.

George Tooker | Il pittore che catturò le ansie moderne

"Non penso di essere un creatore. Sento di essere un vaso passivo, un recettore o un traduttore... La cosa affascinante della pittura è la scoperta" - George Clair Tooker Jr. (pittore Statunitense. 1920-2011).

Tooker mescolava metodicamente i suoi colori a mano, usando acqua, tuorlo d'uovo e pigmento in polvere.

Ogni dipinto non è stato solo eseguito con cura, ma profondamente considerato intellettualmente.

La tempera è un metodo di pittura noioso e ad asciugatura rapida che è difficile da cambiare dopo essere stato applicato, e questo metodo deliberato si adattava alla disposizione ed alla teoria artistica di Tooker.

Gli artisti della Secessione aspiravano, oltre a portare l'arte al di fuori dei confini della tradizione accademica, in un florilegio di arti plastiche, design e architettura, anche ad una rinascita delle arti e dei mestieri: non vi era uno stile prediletto, sicché sotto l'egida di questo gruppo si riunirono i simbolisti, i naturalisti ed i modernisti.

La pioggia che cade crea riflessi straordinari da auto e lampioni, e ho sviluppato una tecnica di punteggiatura della vernice con un vecchio pennello da decoratore che riesce a lasciare segni di vernice non vincolati ad un motivo uniforme. I peli spaccati di questa vecchia spazzola permettono ai tratti di diventare pioggia".

Your ugliness and other women's grace.

I know the imperfection of your face, -

Its letters from my mind, that I may trace

You faultless, I must love until I die.
