Valentin Alexandrovich Serov (1865 -1911) was a Russian painter, and one of the premier portrait artists of his era. He was born in St. Petersburg, son of the Russian composer Alexander Serov, and his wife Valentina Bergman, a composer of German-Jewish background. In his childhood he studied in Paris and Moscow under Ilya Repin and in the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts (1880-1885) under Pavel Chistyakov. Serovs early creativity was sparked by the realistic art of Repin and strict pedagogical system of Chistyakov. Further influences on Serov were the old master paintings he viewed in the museums of Russia and Western Europe, friendships with Mikhail Vrubel and later Konstantin Korovin, and the creative atmosphere of the Abramtsevo Colony, to which he was closely connected.From 1890 on, the portrait became the basic genre in Serovs art. It was in this field that his early style would become apparent, the paintings notable for the psychologically pointed characteristics of his subjects. Serovs favorite models were actors, artists, and writers (Konstantin Korovin, 1891, Isaac Levitan, 1893, Nikolai Leskov, 1894, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, 1898).Initially abstaining from the polychromatic, brightly colored painting style of the 1880s, Serov often preferred a dominant scale of black-grey or brown tones. Impressionistic features appeared sometimes in composite construction of a portrait, or to capture a sense of spontaneous movement. As in the work of his contemporaries John Singer Sargent and Anders Zorn, the impressionism is not doctrinaire, but derives as much from the study of Hals and Velazquez as from modern theory. Receiving wide popularity, in 1894 Serov joined with the Peredvizhniki (The Itinerants), and took on important commissions, among them portraits of grand duke Pavel Alexandrovich, (1897), S. M. Botkin, 1899, and F.F. Yusupova, 1903 as well as Princess Olga Orlova.During his late period, which began in 1900, Serov was a member of "The World of art", an influential Russian art association and magazine which grew, in part, out of dissatisfaction with the Itinerants movement. At the start of the 20th century, Serov was at a stylistic turning point: features of impressionism disappeared from his work, and his modernistic style developed, but the characteristic truthful and realistic comprehension of the nature of his subjects remained constant.The last years of Serovs life were marked by works on themes from classical mythology. While addressing images from the ancient tradition, Serov endowed classical subject matter with a personal interpretation.

Vacío y plenitud es una de esas obras fundamentales que permiten acceder a la comprensión de la pintura china. Su autor, François Cheng, conocido especialista en poesía y pintura chinas, expone el desarrollo que, a lo largo de quince siglos, ha tenido la pintura en China, pero su estudio no es de caracter historico sino filosofico. La primera parte explora el sistema de la pintura en relacion con la filosofia taoista a partir de la nocion de vacio que todo artista debe conocer, eje fundamental de la concepcion china del universo y su comprension del mundo objetivo, ligado a la idea del aliento vital y al estado supremo al que el hombre debe tender. Cheng explica tambien al lector occidental la adscripcion de este arte a la concepcion taoista, incorporando fragmentos de pintores y tratadistas chinos sobre elementos y momentos de la actividad pictorica.

"Dont look at them, look at me," a peacock seemed to be saying as he posed magnificently between the audience and the Shakespearean play being performed by Theatre Set-Up in the open air at Trevarno, Cornwall, effectively upstaging it. "I am really worth looking at!" Fed up with the noise that was disturbing his rest in the tree above the play, his was a deliberate attempt to stop it. Often though, the interference of creatures in the companys performances was accidental "It is dreadful thing to see the wig that transforms your character being carted off by a fox!" cried an actress as she watched a fox race off with the red wig she had set in the open-air stage right changing area of Wollaton Hall, Nottingham. Evidently he had rescued the wig from this improvised theatre arena, mistaking it for one of his cubs! This was typical of the chaos that birds, bats, cats, dogs, sheep and horses could make of open-air performances in heritage sites. Add to that the confusion that rain, storms, wind and hot sun could add to the experience and an element of adventure unknown in regular indoor venues prevailed. This book tells the anecdotes of these adventures in this kind of theatre experienced by the international, professional Theatre Set-Up company (see www.ts-u.co.uk), which survived the vicissitudes of touring mostly open-air performances of Shakespeare in heritage sites from 1976 to 2011, performing throughout the UK from 1979 and in mainland Europe from 1993. Venues and gear of the company were transferred to The Festival Players in 2011. Its tours in 1979, 1980 and 1981 pioneered the genre, a species of theatre which has since then proliferated, providing many actors with paid employment and heritage sites with performances of plays presented conveniently with the minimum of fuss, cost and accoutrements. The companies bravely performing in this kind of theatre all experience the kinds of incidents recorded in this book, which salutes their courage and determination to "Carry on Regardless"!About the Author: Dr Wendy Jean Macphee was a teacher and lecturer in English, drama and music from 1960 to 2012 and was founder, administrator, artistic director, actor and musician for Theatre Set-Up. She now writes books (see Secret Meanings in Shakespeare Applied to Stage Performance, www.wjm-travelogue.net and www.wjm-pyramid.uk).

Throughout the 20th century the North-East of England was synonymous with heavy industry and football. Coal mining, railways and ship-building provided an economic base upon which football - professional and amateur - flourished. Middlesbrough, Newcastle United and Sunderland all established themselves as national forces by winning League titles, FA Cups and by breaking records in the transfer market and in stadium attendances. They helped shape the areas identity, its sense of itself and the countrys idea of the North-East.

Questo testo teatrale affronta un tema che presenta facce diverse per la nostra societa occidentale: lOmosessualita. Ce una vera ostilita morale, religiosa ed etica che spesso ci fa dimenticare della dimensione privata ed intima di tale condizione.Per iniziare a cambiare questa mentalita sarebbe sufficiente ricorrere al buon senso; applicare la pietas; comprensione e rispetto per le altre persone; applicare la costituzione che ci proclama tutti uguali nei diritti e metterci -per una volta- nei panni degli altri!Vi faccio una domanda che richiede una risposta onesta e una riflessione: Voi quando avete scelto di essere eterosessuali? Dite mai? Che siete cosi per natura? Infatti nessuno sceglie. E allora perche un comportamento e giusto mentre laltro e SBAGLIATO?Le sette confessioni che compongono questo testo teatrale sono tutte storie vere, ma questo non vuol dire che tutto quello che narro lo sia. È vero lo spirito che le ha animate e la richiesta che voi ci riflettiate.

Soggetti (ed una sceneggiatura pilota) Rimasti Nel Cassetto

Uno, nessuno e centomila e uno dei romanzi piu famosi di Luigi Pirandello. Iniziato nel 1909, usci solo nel 1926 prima sotto forma di romanzo a puntate nella rivista "La Fiera letteraria", e poi in volume. Questopera, lultima di Pirandello, riesce a sintetizzare il pensiero dellautore nel modo piu completo. Lo stesso Pirandello la definisce come il romanzo "piu amaro di tutti, profondamente umoristico, di scomposizione della vita".Il protagonista Vitangelo Moscarda, puo essere considerato come uno dei personaggi piu complessi del mondo pirandelliano, e sicuramente quello con maggior autoconsapevolezza. Dal punto di vista formale, stilistico, si puo notare la forte inclinazione al monologo del soggetto, che molto spesso si rivolge al lettore ponendogli interrogativi e problemi in modo da coinvolgerlo direttamente nella vicenda, il cui significato e senza dubbio di portata universale.A dispetto della sua lunga gestazione, lopera non e ne frammentaria ne disorganizzata; al contrario, puo essere considerata come lapice della carriera dellautore e della sua tensione narrativa.Nota: gli e-book editi da E-text in collaborazione con Liber Liber sono tutti privi di DRM; si possono quindi leggere su qualsiasi lettore di e-book, si possono copiare su piu dispositivi e, volendo, si possono anche modificare.Questo e-book aiuta il sito di Liber Liber, una mediateca che rende disponibili gratuitamente migliaia di capolavori della letteratura e della musica.

Bisogna uniformarci al divina volere, non solo nelle cose avverse, che ci vengono direttamente da Dio, come sono le infermita, le desolazioni di spirito, la poverta, laorte de parenti, e simili; ma ancora in quelle, che ci vengono per mezzo degli uomini, come sono i dispregi, linfamie, lingiustizie, i furti, e tutte le sorte di persecuzioni. In cio bisogna intendere, che quando noi siamo offesi da alcuno nella fama, nellonore, ne beni, benche il Signore non voglia il peccato di colui, vuole nondimeno la nostra umiliazione, la nostra poverta, e mortificazione. E certo, e di fede, che quanto avviene nel mondo, tutto avviene per divina volonta. Ego Dominus formans lucem et tenebras, faciens pacem, et creans malum. (Is. 45.7) Da Dio vengono tutti i bene e tutti i mali, cioe tutte le cose a noi contrarie, che noi chiamiamo falsamente mali; perche in verita sono beni, quando noi gli prendiamo dalle sue mani. (S. Alfonso Maria de Liguori).
