Brucia all’inferno
questa parte di me che non si trova bene in nessun posto
mentre le altre persone trovano cose
da fare
nel tempo che hanno
posti dove andare
insieme
cose da
dirsi.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir | Bouquet of Roses, 1879
In the summer of 1879, the banker and diplomat Paul Berard invited Pierre-Auguste Renoir to his country house in Normandy.
During his visit, the artist painted portraits of Berard’s children and made several panel decorations, this one for a door in the library.

Nell'estate del 1879, il banchiere e diplomatico Paul Berard invitò Renoir nella sua casa di campagna in Normandia.

Saitō Kazu / 斉藤 和, 1960
Born in Kyoto, Japan, Kazu Saitō graduated from Kyoto City Arts University in 1987. He explored Nihonga all the way.
In addition to retaining the fineness of texture, color, form and space in Japanese art, he transforms his aesthetic experiences and the feelings of all things in life into a poetic conception and charming aesthetics with his unique new contemporary image.
"I want to look deeply at the essence of impression, connect the moving tradition to the future, and convey the essence of that impression in a simple visual language".
Pablo Neruda | Se saprai.. / If you will know..
Se saprai starmi vicino,
e potremo essere diversi,
se il sole illuminerà entrambi
senza che le nostre ombre si sovrappongano,
se riusciremo ad essere "noi" in mezzo al mondo
e insieme al mondo, piangere, ridere, vivere.
Ken Moroney | Impressionist painter
Ken Moroney (1949-2018) was born in South London. Of Anglo Irish parentage, his father was typical of his generation and worried about Ken’s artistic temperament which he viewed as effeminate.
As a result Ken took up boxing and won a gold medal for South London in his teens.
His art continued to flourish with his trademark striking use of colour. His main medium is oils and he favours romantic subjects of Edwardian times.
Stylistically Moroney’s work surely emanates from the French Post-Impressionist tradition and his subject matter and bright palette can be compared to similar beach scenes created by the likes of Eugène Boudin.
Mario Sironi | Scritti e pensieri
• "Ciò che diciamo attualità, modernità non è spesso che la sola realtà dell'esistenza - il resto è morte eco sotto volte lontane e paurose, o silenzio e buio impenetrabile".
• "Gli uomini debbono essere governati. Lasciarli liberi di fare quello che vogliono significa incrementare la bestialità e il disordine".
• "L'uomo disprezza, aggredisce, tortura gli animali - maledetto lui che fa il deserto intorno a sé sulla polvere".

Gustave Van de Woestyne | Expressionist painter
From: Sotheby's
In 1900, after art studies in his native city of Ghent, Gustave Van de Woestyne (1881-1947) settled in Sint-Martens-Latem, on the banks of the Leie river, where an artistic colony of poets, painters and sculptors had formed in search of an innovative and meaningful artistic expression.
His admiration for the technique and spirituality of the Flemish old masters led him to develop an art of mystic-religious symbolism and allegory.
He also drew inspiration from the Italian Primitives, Maurice Denis and fresco painting and became one of the figures of the "First School of Larthem".
Emily Dickinson | The Skies can't keep their secret! / I Cieli non sanno serbare il loro segreto!
The Skies cant keep their secret!
They tell it to the Hills -
The Hills just tell the Orchards -
And they - the Daffodils!
A Bird - by chance - that goes that way -
Soft overhears the whole -
If I should bribe the little Bird -
Who knows but she would tell?
René Magritte | Le Baiser, 1957
Emily Dickinson | Vi dirò come sorse il sole / I’ll tell you how the sun rose
Vi dirò come sorse il sole -
un nastro dopo l’altro -
i campanili nuotavano nell’ametista -
la notizia, come scoiattoli, corse -
le colline di slegarono i cappucci -
Ben Winspear
Pedro Salinas | Lì, oltre il sorriso / There, behind laughter
Lì, oltre il sorriso,
non ti si conosce più.
Vai e vieni, scivoli
per un mondo di valzer...
"Che allegra!" dicono tutti.
Ed è che tu allora
tenti di essere altra,
così somigliante

Wisława Szymborska | Un incontro inatteso / An unexpected meeting
Siamo molto cortesi l'uno con l'altro,
diciamo che e' bello incontrarsi dopo anni.
Le nostre tigri bevono latte.
I nostri sparvieri vanno a piedi.
I nostri squali affogano nell'acqua.
I nostri lupi sbadigliano alla gabbia aperta.
