Orazio Gentileschi. Madonna and Child. Said. 1609. Oil on canvas. cm. 98.5 X75
National Art Museum of Romania, Bucharest

's work Orazio Gentileschi represents a fascinating blend of vision and harmonious
derived from classical Raphael and a closer look addressed to the true nature and derived from Caravaggio , in a perfect balance between physical concreteness and abstraction.

This artist also had the distinction of being the master of too many talented artists. In addition to his daughter Artemisia , one of the few women who have managed to develop a successful career at that time, his teaching has been invaluable for foreign artists like Hendick Tebruggen and Vermeer.
Horace has worked in Rome, Genoa, Paris and London, which the Court of Marie de Medici and Charles I, always leaving a significant influence on art and new generations of artists from those cities.
Orazio Gentileschi is an artist with a refined sensibility, particularly in the careful study of the compositions compact lines and bright colors.
One of the most modern production of Horace is in the intertwining art with life. After the juvenile stage, more tied to his Mannerist training, since 1600 his painting is based on (the example of Caravaggio) on the direct . As Horace
models choose the people they know, which are part of his everyday life. Works like the Madonna and Child of Princeton, Madonna Bucharest , the San Francisco supported by an angel, the Holy Family with St. John the Baptist child the Santa Cecilia of Washington, the Rest Flight into Egypt , show a great emotional involvement and ability to capture the human dimension of the situations presented.

Van Gogh hidden (but visible to X-rays) at the Vittoriano in Rome





There is a painting in more exposed, but not visible and therefore not in the catalog of the exhibition of Van Gogh at the Vittoriano in Rome. The framework
People who walk in a park (1886), Oil on canvas, 37.5 x 45.5 cm. hides another, a portrait of a man who five years ago, a scholar of the Van Gogh museum had identified a self-portrait of Van Gogh . But I was not in agreement and explained that it was most probably the portrait (or self-portrait?) Emile Bernard, friend Vincent and I entrusted my concern in a note Ansa.

whole story is told in my previous post on my blog, titled: The portrait hidden in a park in Paris is Van Gogh and Emile Bernard?

The wolf and the moon and Chef Calesini



Calesini Mara. "At midnight, he collapsed at the foot of the mountain waiting for her sweet love ...". Said. 2010 Mixed media, cm. 24x33. Private collection. Copyright M. © Calesini


moon has always understood and is the object of admiration of poets and painters evanescent, mysterious symbol of the aspiration to find a secret truth, that it sinks to the heart without mediation, and that bypassing the certainties prosaic of everyday life that opens Friedrich, the great Romantic painter , called "the eye of the spirit." Mysterious ways, therefore, its light pale expresses a truth that seems to escape the rational light of day and the truth of the symbolic meanings buried in our unconscious. At the
the ancient civilizations was often a moon goddess, shadowy creature
female gender, the depository of secret initiation that led to life and its mystery . In this tale
delicate, which in reality is perhaps not so fairy tale, because there is almost nothing concrete happens, it tells of a wolf that wanders between the snowy streets of a country and a moon that appears and disappears , beloved of a moon and waiting for the wolf, a symbol both of the male and female, in their chase, and have wanted. This is the meaning of the words of his grandfather addressed his nephew to go to sleep: "My son, wake up! Flying in the sky the moon and the black wolf! Both are wrapped in honey. This is my story, my dear son! ", Which means that the story is nothing but a metaphor for the joys of love, gracefully evoked by the words of Chef Mauro , and that the illustrations by Mara Calesini enhance the simplicity of black and white. The taste ranges from the genuine graphics of figures naive hatch, next to pictures with popular taste, where the backgrounds appear
partially filled by fine cross-hatching, as the concrete world country here recalled, stylized and daring, frankly prone to two-dimensional collage. In contrast to co-present illustrative styles, sometimes harsh, realistic suggestions and silhouette from the archetypal value, express the same dissonance of the written text, making it so effectively the spirit, light and shade and dissonant as the light of love, whose physical charms and spiritual energy is expressed by metaphorical.

In the workshop we explore possibilities and resources related to work with the body. The approach is related to actor training, and development of individual creative potential. The research on the movement starts from the real factor of a body in space, exploring the physical limits and imaginary, and resources. The work begins with the basic elements of the situation and develops in the tension between two poles: on the one hand, the current context given in the report body / space and actor / audience with the expectations and conventions implied, on the other hand, the flow of individual consciousness, the flow of inner images, memories and feelings. In addition to being guided through the physical training, participants are immersed in fluid sessions where everyone chooses the specific focus of the creative process, in a process of "interrogation" individual looking in the interplay between internal and external elements which are relevant to develop their Action / performative presence. The intensity of work on the move / breath / voice invites you to experience the performance space through the awakening of the body. The proposed methodology is based on a review of body work developed by J. Grotowski and principles from contemporary dance.

VIA THE BORDER / THE EAST SIDE (of the moon) - residencies and presentations from Eastern Europe

Living and working in the ten years between Italy, Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia, I got to know bottom of the scene in the former Yugoslavia, to notice the quality 'and specific strengths in both traditional forms and in a more targeted research and contemporaneity '. I also realized how weak communication between Italy and these regions of Eastern Europe, though geographically very close. There 's a significant lack of information about what is happening in the arts, and in general, on the other side of the Adriatic, as if our national borders were more' thicker on the east side. It is also a mental edge, the result of a separation taken root in the imagination, derived from the polarization of the Cold War period. In the capital Ljubljana, Zagreb, Belgrade and Sofia there is 'a community' independent artistic lively, artistic and theoretical production intense and articulate, with a strong theatrical and musical tradition. The program VDC / TES, launched by YANVII in 2010 in the context of the festival in collaboration with The Hotel Limbo imperfect laboratory, continued with the participation of the Teatro Petrella, Rad'Art Project and other local institutions and foreign, and 'the result of a series of personal encounters and artistic collaborations. I have intentionally engaged artists who in many cases are also friends, who I know your work directly, with whom I sometimes collaborated and shared their moments of ricercaseguendo in his artistic development over a fairly long time. I stress' cause I want to escape the alleged logic in a standard way to make a schedule, and reversing the usual attributions of value, to open a space apparently based on direct human and artistic contacts, on the 'intimacy' "of artistic relations. I consider these crucial resources, especially in this time of economic crisis, in enabling cultural production - a production is not developed based on mechanical processes, not "bureaucratic". Currently the program events are made only by the desire of artists and professionals involved to join forces to make them possible. The program offers some of the artists' relevant and / or innovative from Eastern Europe, providing not only presentations of shows and concerts, but also moments of reflection and openness to the creative process. The presentations are accompanied by theoretical meetings with the participation of researchers from the DAMS - Universita 'di Bologna, open rehearsals, screenings and opportunities for informal dialogue with the invited artists. Nhandan Chirco

"My decision to create the media of contemporary dance and 'linked to the possibility' of un'idioma construire, to explore and articulate. I am particularly interested to enter into a process that advances the final results. I never felt the language of dance as a simple result, tied to a particular project or show, but rather as the result of continuous research and investigation concerning the limits and boundaries of the medium itself. I always look for points of support in the language of dance, or rather, test the limits of a certain form of expression. The field of contemporary dance, therefore, gives me a constant challenge, not only allowing the exploration of the medium but also the questioning of myself as an individual. "Maja Maja Delak

In his corpus of twelve dance performance Maja Delak has undergone a number of universes, which - despite the differences between the themes and approaches of job - rotate the anchor of the poetic dance of the author, drawing definition of a more and more 'clear methods of contemporary dance.

These factors have created the basis for the inevitable collaboration with Nova diverter, and that 'part of the Slovenian electronic scene and noise by more' than a decade.

Frozen Images (Frozen Pictures)
The freezing process is a break between movements. As such, the structure of the concert, punctuated by suspensions - breaks between points, is the emergence of a performance of frozen images, full texts, contemporary electronic beats, guitars, extreme, noisy oscillations and hypnotic 'bass lines'. Together with the actions of the performers, the haptic interfaces and moving images, the performance raises questions about the hyper-sexualization and pornografizzazione, the fetishization of consumerism, the mechanisms of image and visual culture, the idealization of love and the meaning of art and culture. Movement, text and images frozen open in their own special way based on sound contemporary organized. The music is contextualized in an ambivalent way through the video image and movement, stretches the body and its vibration, rational and emotional. The frozen images are broken by the vibration of the word and the movement of the body / flesh in all its strength.

"Theater and Science


It tells the story of a woman, Life, which wants a normal life. Who is she? About Life is reality? Why

Bred for an experiment, she and her husband escape and discover the beauty of everyday life wandering before he is caught. Narrating events in his life marked by the passage of time, episodes of breathtaking beauty, in contact with nature. And the alternative technology to
cruel experiment is often repeated.
The continuous discovery of what constitutes human existence, of that she is not and can not be, the search for a fleeting happiness, as narrated by the social aspect, the killing of an evil person who blackmails her by threatening to reveal his identity, all leads to a review of its work, an opinion that will give viewers "the story is over, the city has fallen, life is ready to sacrifice" during the show, five video and dance (very special, designed especially for Villa Amoretti space) will make

Cruise Themes For School

Season ends

As always the end of the season finally arrives Caribbean in May so it goes on to safe ground nicolandra (here we are in the range of hurricanes!) And take the opportunity to dismasted, and hurricanes for the speech or to control the bases under the trees. And here
dismasted! Strange, huh?

We will now talk about how she worked the red brick from vessel antifouling applied to curacao? After four months in the Caribbean port stops in almost perfect! What is inside and what is toxic? Just what it takes ...

A good time to see was dismasted! bases are completely redo and below floor plates to clean up and strengthen, it will be a big job that we will face in November.


Save the two feet and we see that the final tree is all in all okay, then'll make the sticks and plates (iron? Steel? Aluminum?)



A look at the hub of this shroud we convince ourselves that the work was already done!


nicolandra And finally at rest and trees securely placed on special supports in a controlled environment at constant temperature and humidity ...

We just have to wait for winter to come back here in the Dominican Republic to revive nicolandra with its trees, then it starts again! San Blas? Antigua? We will decide ...

Good Title For A 21st Birthday Party

Rolex Farr 40 World Championship

As perhaps not everyone knows, in April took place at Casa de Campo the world of the Farr 40 class, one of (if not the) classes to more highly technical and competitive, so that virtually all of the names of the America's Cup are, not surprisingly, the President of the race committee was Peter Reggio (Chairman of last 4 or 5 America's Cup!).
part of this event happened that, thanks to my qualities technical-tactical-operational (actually is a classic example of being in the right place at the right time = crazy ass shot!), I found myself embarked on Nero Q8 to play in the two-day pre-world regatta!

E 'was an incredible experience, the first day I got it almost seemed to be never go into the boat before, disoriented, physically destroyed, then take some measurements of these war machines (and I mean the boats but also for men) and the second day I also had fun! The crew was wonderful and understanding and everything was perfect!





And guess who won the championship (the last race decided in the last days as a thriller!)? Nero Q8! You can imagine the celebrations end ...
No printing, please!

Glamour and Caribbean!

Eyebrow Burn And Swelling

Life School (or school of life?)

And then here is a moment spent in the school semester! E 'has undoubtedly been a great experience with fun and rewarding even if, in relation to school season for Port deer, much quieter! Like any school the week of the course begins with classroom theory

Cui is followed by a good practice relying on favorable weather conditions (good-no wind waves)

finally to return to port tired but happy.

It is celebrated at the end of the course! For the record, the one sitting with a beard is tailers Riviera (remember newport, Pelaschier, Cino Ricci, america's cup final?) A myth!

course it is not only fun, as you can imagine, but behind the scenes there is a constant maintenance work and preparation (this is about monica to climb the mast to make repairs)

not forget in all this the poor kittens!
A thought and a hug to all friends, fellow workers!

Update

And now, having reached the heart of the winter 2009-2010, a update on the latest adventures of Nicolandra and its crew (2 and 4 feet).

In early December (the small Minni entrusted to the care of grandparents), after traveling for 23 hours (!) Between the airports of Verona - frankfurt - caracas - Willemstad we finally joints (with Leon and Igor) on the island of Curacao (Netherlands Antilles) where we left off last spring Nicolandra . On site to greet the new owners: Carlos , Venezuelan former windsurfing champion and Albert, an Italo-Venezuelan former mechanic.

The atmosphere is friendly and they all scramble to help put Nicolandra in water.

problems course there is but only when I have left in your hand holding the handle of a sea that starts the fun! No panic : unscrew the valve (with ap posite keys bought for the occasion), but also loosens the hull ! OK, PANIC! Quiet, dismantle everything and now we just have to buy a new valve and fit, too bad there is not the valve with the European thread (boat Italian), but only American. We go everywhere but nothing to do, then the only solution is to mount a valve "plastic" suitable , hopefully good!

Perfect, Now antifouling red brick (yes, you could see, is precisely that of vessels and cargo freight) and go into the water, but not without worries (see photo!) .

After a change of batteries and the usual preparation test the engine, wrong, purge the circuit with low fuel pressure, we should not, bleed the high pressure circuit, it should be! Small leak from a tubes that are from the pump to the primers, result: diesel fired at 180 atmospheres for the entire engine room ..... we suspect that the departure will be delayed for a few days.

After several consultations with all the "experts" of the place, fixing the piece is impossible, you have to order it via internet and have it shipped to the manufacturer, whereas that in a week we should be in the Dominican Republic What is not considered, calling into dry the boat and go by plane? Even this seems a good idea ...... At this point enters' the eliminator , "he to whom it is addressed only if everyone else has failed: Luis ! A geezer dry a few words and few teeth that does not discuss either, take the piece and goes leaving the dock rather dazed and confused. Back after three hours with the tube cut and welded with a lead that probably recovered from the engine of an old truck, and go down in the engine room to try it I think: "never will go well!" I try, I try again, but it is perfect! The engine sings as ever and not a drop of oil, incredible, and cerveza party for everyone!

The next day Finally we sail destination dominican republic, just 400 miles north, in practice it crosses the Caribbean Sea . The wind is stronger than it had hoped but forecasts say it will calm ... The cats are waiting to see what happens ... we leave piskadera Baai and we are greeted by a wave that made us change course, rather than going east to exit from the southern tip of the island will go to the north-west to round the northern point, little bad, walk along the coast of Curacao with only the jib in 8 knots, we dance a little , cats begin to show signs of impatience have realized that bad throws, we still no ... Before the end of the island dubbed shake a little , we reduce the jib and reefed the mizzen issiamo (the teacher let the well-packed ), leaving the shelter of the coast we are stretched by a howling wind and slapped by trains of waves with breakers, cat vomiting white foam, you say, we go back? We decide for you! after a couple of hours we anchored in a beautiful bay (S. Cruz ) to enjoy a well earned rest and the first dive of the season!

the evening a meeting of all members of the decrees that the cat is not a marine animal and shoot At this point, the plan B: Monica, Leon and Igor will take the plane and I'll take the boat to the destination at Casa de Campo ( Rep . Dominicana).

This was after two days, December 24, landed family, Nicolandra sail for the second time, but this time the conditions are more benign, isso fact staple full mainsail teacher with two hands and mizzen with 1 hand, Peter rig (the steering winds) and the boat goes alone. The first day there is still water, the great pitching plus an unpredictable roll that makes virtually impossible to normal life on board, but I know it will calm down ... In darkness falls early shifts, sleeping in the cockpit and wakes up every 20 minutes. When you first wake up I say "who want us to be in this endless sea?" I pull up, I look back, nothing, look to the left, none,
Look to the right, porc! A ship?! First intersection, step aft of the cargo without having to modify the my course. The rest of the night passed without further meetings in the morning the sea has calmed down a bit and keeps the wind at 18 knots, celebrate Christmas by removing the reefs in the mainsail and mizzen sail, hauled large, 5-6 nodes.
on for another 2 days, 2 more intersections, one night we give a pass to a frigate that sits near Peter and latch a ride at dawn takes flight.

After 72 hours accurate and countless alarm clocks 20 minutes later in the marina at Casa de Campo, Monica with his family will arrive the same evening (after a nightmare flight with a bunch of drunks Dominicans). All calculated!

Now we are in the dock, water, electricity, awnings, in short, a house, the cats have adapted magnificently and explore Nicolandra (moored in vain distance to avoid jumping to the ground, because sometimes we have to recover from some night visits to motorboats neighbors).

was windy and the sun even at night it is freschino (also 22 °), I work in " Escuela de vela "and Monica goes jogging and low

Keep in touch !
