Sai cosa succederà a noi due?

Ci cercheremo,

ancora.

Ci cercheremo nelle canzoni,

nelle citazioni,

nei libri.

389th anniversary of Johannes Vermeer's birth

Today’s Doodle celebrates Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, a seminal Baroque artist who is widely regarded among the greatest Dutch painters of all time.

Johannes Vermeer (October 1632 - December 1675) was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. He was a moderately successful provincial genre painter in his lifetime but evidently was not wealthy, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death, perhaps because he produced relatively few paintings.

Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, and frequently used very expensive pigments. He is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work.
Vermeer painted mostly domestic interior scenes.

"Almost all his paintings are apparently set in two smallish rooms in his house in Delft; they show the same furniture and decorations in various arrangements and they often portray the same people, mostly women".

Anatoliy Kalugin, 1959: "Woman is poetry by nature"!

Anatoliy Kalugin / Анатолий Калугин was born in 1959. He lives in Moscow, Russia.

Kalugin graduated from Moscow Architectural Institute and started to work as an artist.

Then he became interested in the computer processing of photos in order to get sketches of the future pictures.

The outcomes of the processing were attractiveness and integrity.

His nickname - Waatson - once, spontaneously chosen username to register on the Internet, became pseudonym for all his works.

Vincent Van Gogh | Red Vineyard at Arles, 1888 | Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts

Alda Merini | Non si ama con il cuore, ma con l’anima..

Non si ama con il cuore,

si ama con l’anima che si impregna di storia;

non si ama se non si soffre

e non si ama se non si ha paura di perdere.

Ma quando ami vivi,

forse male, forse bene,

ma vivi.

Françoise Nielly, 1960

L'artista Françoise Nielly è una ritrattista che usa un coltello invece del pennello.

Precisamente Nielly usa una spatola per dipingere i suoi ritratti. Questa tecnica significa che i volti famosi hanno una gamma di trame e segni su di essi, quasi come se le parti fossero state tagliate per rivelare altri colori sottostanti.

Le opere di Francoise Nielly sono ritratti vibranti, vividi e sorprendenti. Anche se la tecnica di Nielly consiste nell'usare un coltello per realizzare i suoi dipinti, i volti sono ancora molto intricati e dettagliati.

Nata a Marsiglia, Françoise Nielly è cresciuta vicino a Cannes e Saint-Tropez ed ora vive a Parigi.
