Camille Claudel | Study of Left Hand, 1889
Did you know many of Auguste Rodin's statues' hands and feet were modeled by Camille Claudel (1864-1943) while she worked in his studio?
A common friend wrote in 1898 that many of her hands and feet are "preserved with great care by her teacher as pieces of the rarest perfection".
A stunning artist in her own right, Claudel impressed Rodin and many others for her incredibly expressive and life-like sculptures.
This bronze study of a left hand by Claudel, while tiny, holds immense detail and vitality.

Vladimir Majakovskij e Maria Denisova, un Amore disperato
La storia del poema "La nuvola in calzoni" / "Облако в штанах" è collegata all'amore tormentato e non corrisposto del poeta Russo Vladimir Majakovskij (1893-1930) per la scultrice monumentale Russa, Maria Alexandrovna Denisova (1894-1944).
I due si incontrarono nel 1914 ad Odessa, durante il viaggio dei futuristi del 1913.
"La nuvola" è il capolavoro della stagione "prerivoluzionaria" di Majakovskij, uno dei testi più significativi del futurismo russo e della letteratura russa del Novecento.
Composto tra il 1914-1915 da un Majakovskij poco più che ventenne, il poemetto trabocca di una forza lirica tesa, appassionata, che vuole essere dissacrante, antiborghese, antifilistea, ed è soprattutto intensamente libertaria.
Majakovskij vuol portare dentro l'arte della parola la carica dirompente di una visione nuova o rinnovata della realtà, dei sentimenti, dell'idea stessa della poesia e della scrittura.

Alexander Pushkin | Vi ho amata / I Loved You / Я вас любил, 1829
Io vi ho amato: l'amore ancora, forse,
nella mia anima non si è del tutto spento;
Ma non lasciare che vi disturbi più;
Non voglio rattristarvi con niente.
Io vi ho amato silenziosamente, senza speranza,
ora con timidezza, ora con gelosia.
Vi ho amato così sinceramente, così teneramente,
Come che v'ami un altro il ciel vi dia.
