All the pretty things

I like pretty little things most people find useless or just dust gatherers. Maybe i should consider adding them to my fascinating things you don’t need list. :D

Frumosul

“Frumosul in arta este adevarul scaldat in impresia pe care am primit-o in fata naturii.”, Jean Baptiste Camille Corot (1855)

translation: Beauty in art is truth bathed in an impression received from nature.

After a fierce discussion about art and beauty this saying by Corot seems to have much more importance. I suppose that it seems to be a vain search, that of beauty and truth, but each of us gets caught in it at some point.

I want to add the context for Corot i may miss the next time i read this. He was part of the Barbizon School, liked to paint “en plein air” and was the predecessor of impressionism.

Intr-o cafenea

M-am aşezat într-o cafenea, stăpânit de un uşor sentiment de înfrângere, am băut un suc Mlădiţa şi mi-am adunat oştile minţii.

Doppelganger

Doppelganger is a sort of an alter ego, a double,  a term coined by german romantic writer Jean Paul. Some medical experiments have linked this idea with the failure of the left temporoparietal junction, a part of the brain that manages the sensation of your own image: position, location, posture.

I’ve just finished the second book by Murakami, My lover, Sputnik and i made the connection between him and David Lynch. Murakami uses the idea of the doppelganger AND the hair turned white over night after Lynch did.

This involves The Man form another place, a carousel wheel, blocked memories, dreams, looking inside, surrealism and a pink lama. Let’s just say i like connections.

I don’t think Lynch could direct something other than his own dreams and thoughts, his films are so personal.

I will be back with Murakami, …

Degasm

This painting by Edgar Degas called Dancer in front of a window or Dancer posing for a photographer (depending upon where i found the image) is, in my opinion, one of his very best on this subject. That blue on the right is electric and cold and makes such a great contrast with the finesse and warmth of the dancer. And the piece of furniture with its black leg sticking out in front is just a perfect completion, even more as it is on the same side as the blue drape. That’s genius, really.

When we visited Barcelona last year, we were lucky enough to find an expo at the Picasso museum. a kind of parallel between Degas and Picasso. It was very impressing.
