Uno de los ejercicios de crítica artística más inteligentes, detallados e iluminadores de nuestro tiempo.En Volver la mirada, Félix de Azúa reúne los ensayos sobre pintura y arquitectura que ha escrito en los ultimos veinte años, alguno de ellos ineditos hasta el momento. Desde la pintura rupestre y el arte clasico hasta la crisis del romanticismo, las vanguardias y el problema del arte contemporaneo, o lo que se ha denominado filosoficamente el arte despues del arte, he aqui un recorrido interpretativo, ambicioso, ameno e ilustrativo, de un gran intelectual que medita en torno al enigma de lo que llamamos Arte.Para mi, y creo que, para todos nosotros, ha llegado el momento de volver la mirada sobre nuestros antepasados para acercarnos a su sabiduria [...] El mundo entero esta en una situacion de extremo peligro y la sabiduria de los muertos nos hace mucha falta. Ojala mis torpes aproximaciones sirvan para algo. Felix de Azua

Por mucho que conozcamos la genialidad de los grandes artistas del pasado, a menudo, cuando vemos una obra maestra, nos resulta difícil conectar con ella y captar su grandeza. Ossian Ward se enfrenta directamente a este vacio comunicativo y nos brinda algunas de las claves y parametros con los que volver a mirar las pinturas de los maestros antiguos.El critico britanico toma diversos conceptos que han sido una constante en la historia del arte -como la paradoja, la belleza o el horror- y los convierte en el hilo conductor que conecta nuestra capacidad interpretativa con las mejores obras de la historia de la pintura. Una cautivadora experiencia inmersiva que nos invita no solo a saber de la espectacular teatralidad de El Bosco o de la armonia y simplicidad de Paul Cezanne, sino a aprehenderlas verdaderamente.

Anche se della saga di Star Wars si conosce tutto, o almeno cosi si e convinti, Matsuteia ci regala pagine agili, divertenti, curiose, sorprendenti!Non lennesima enciclopedia, non un saggio che ne svisceri tutte le fondamenta, non un elenco didascalico di personaggi, situazioni, storie, intrecci. Tra queste pagine si possono trovare informazioni apparentemente slegate fra loro, aneddoti e curiosita, segreti svelati e ovvieta semi sconosciute. Un po come trovarsi davanti a una tavola imbandita o in un locale dove ci si ritrova fra amici e si comincia a buttar li qualche aneddoto sul passato comune. Un ricordo tira laltro, finche ogni tanto qualcuno salta fuori con una notizia che sorprende i piu. Vuoi perche dimenticata, vuoi perche quel giorni li, accidenti, non si era presenti o si era voltati dallaltra parte.Cosi fa Matsuteia con Star Wars. Ce lo racconta a modo suo, senza un vero filo conduttore, saltando di palo in frasca, o se preferite di astronave in set cinematografico improvvisato, raccontandoci cose che gia sappiamo (in parte), che ci siamo dimenticati (alcune), che non abbiamo notato (molte) o che proprio non avevamo mai saputo (sic!).(dalla prefazione di E.T.A. Egeskov)Appassionato di fantascienza (in particolar modo delle saghe di Star Wars e Star Trek), di videogiochi e di notizie pressoche inutili per lumanita ma che sembrano essere di interesse quasi vitale per i Padawan, razza alla quale dichiara di appartenere. Matsuteia e anche autore di Volevo essere un supereroe della Marvel, Volevo vincere una medaglia doro ma poltrire non e ancora una disciplina olimpica e del fortunato volume Volevo guidare lEnterprise, ma Kirk e arrivato prima scritto in collaborazione con Adele Ross e pubblicato anche in lingua inglese con il titolo Star Trek anecdotes & curiosities.

Ottomila circa sono i personaggi che affollano luniverso (o meglio gli universi) della Marvel Comics e lidea di realizzare un volume agile sulle curiosita di una siffatta pletora di personaggi non poteva che spaventare e far sembrare lidea folle e il progetto irrealizzabile. Ma arrendersi non e da supereroi...(dalla prefazione di E.T.A. Egeskov)Dopo lapprezzato Volevo essere uno Jedi, che accompagnava i lettori dietro le quinte della saga di Star Wars e il successo di Volevo guidare lEnterprise ma Kirk e arrivato prima, che ci conduceva invece nel fantascientifico universo di Star Trek, dalla serie culto degli anni Sessanta del Novecento, fino ai piu moderni film (scritto a quattro mani con Adele Ross), Matsuteia torna con unaltra raccolta di curiosita frizzanti e insolite, questa volta sulluniverso (anzi gli universi) della Marvel, altra icona per gli appassionati (sia dei classici comics che delle pellicole da loro tratte e che spesso hanno sbancato i botteghini di tutto il mondo). Scritto insieme a E.T.A. Egeskov (autore di Ho fatto 13: consigli di lettura un po originali e la favola dark Notte di tempesta sulle falesie), questo agevole volumetto, primo di una serie dedicata allargomento, ci fa immergere nei mondi fantastici della Marvel, svelandoci anche molte chicche che forse non tutti conoscono, non solo relative ai supereroi o agli eroi di questi universi ma anche agli attori che hanno interpretato i film a loro dedicati. Da leggere tutto dun fiato per sorridere e, perche no, lasciarsi stupire.

Certo, potrebbe essere un azzardo se si considera che sono unautodidatta in tutto cio ma... Valutate voi!

The musical heritage of Japan exists as an elaborate composition which blends traditional elements with creative developments and profound sacred elements. By analyzing this extensive musical history in its period, scholars realize how Japanese music developed under cultural narratives and mythical origins. Japanese music experienced a progressive development starting from its original compositions that brought divine messages to the refined melodies of imperial court music.Japanese musics origins stem from creation myths, which explain that its first musical expressions emerged from divine sources. The myths established principles which led to a musical practice that honors spiritual and sacred elements. Gagaku from the Heian era represents this spiritual reverence through its formal compositions that are performed in court alongside Chinese and Korean musical elements. Japanese spiritual practices employ Buddhist chants together with Shinto rituals to show the holy significance of music as believers use melodies to connect with divinity while worshiping together.Present-day musicians play traditional Japanese instruments such as koto, shamisen, shakuhachi, and taiko drums, and they use musical instruments that express cultural heritage and serve spiritual purposes. The musical arrangements on koto and shamisen strings reproduce the expressive tales of historical Japan. Shakuhachi flute sound becomes a representative of enlightened spirit and meditation practice through its melancholic melodies. Taiko drumming delivers an intense and loud musical experience that mirrors the natural ebb and flow of life along the rhythmic heartbeat of social gatherings.

Oh che bella cosa che vedo mai! Mi aiuti a farmi santo. Don Bosco prese sul serio quella domanda. Chiamo Domenico e gli disse: Ti voglio regalare la formula della santita. Stai attentoPrimo: allegria. Cio che ti turba e ti toglie la gioia non viene dal Signore.Secondo: doveri di studio e di attenzione a scuola, impegno nello studio, impegno nella preghiera. Tutto questo non farlo per ambizione, per sentirti lodare, ma per amore del Signore e per diventare un uomoTerzo: far del bene agli altri. Aiuta i tuoi compagni sempre, anche se ti costa sacrificio. La santita e tutta qui. Ed critica a cura di Danka

Vladimir Orlovsky (1842 1914) was a Russian realist painter. Orlovsky painted for Moscow and St. Petersburg aristocracies, and his art was even bought by the Emperor of Russia himself, Alexander III. Orlovsky is considered one of the founders of Ukrainian Realist landscape painting.Orlovsky was born in Kiev in 1842 to a landowning noble family of Ukrainian descent. In the talent of the young artist believe his art teacher of the second Kiev gymnasium, Ivan Soshenko who earlier helped Taras Shevchenko. The gymnasiums director M. Chalyi also recognized Orlovskys talent and recommended him in a written letter to Shevchenko. And so it was that the painters art education commenced with a letter of recommendation from Taras Shevchenko at the Saint Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts in 1861. During Orlovskys study at the Imperial Academy of Arts his teacher was one of the most famous Russian landscape painters of 19th century Alexey Bogolyubov. For his quick successes, Orlovsky received in St. Petersburg a large silver medal at the academy in 1863. Later he painted while in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, North Caucasus, Crimea and Finland.Upon the conclusion of his studies in 1868, Orlovsky gained the recognition of his colleagues in the academic circles and the general public, earning the title of artist of the first degree. Orlovsky received a gold medal for his paintings of Crimean landscapes, which allowed him to travel abroad on government allowance. Thus from 1869 to 1872, Orlovsky worked in Paris, France, as well as Switzerland, Germany, and Italy.In two years, in 1874, Orlovsky was promoted to the status of an academic, and in 1878 for his painting Harvest he was made professor. He enjoyed popularity on par with Ivan Aivazovsky, and was influenced by the work of Arkhip Kuindzhi.In 1897, the artist became ill with typhoid, and following the advice of his doctors moved from St. Petersburg with its dampness to Kiev. To keep his health Vladimir Orlovsky spent the rest of his life in Genoa, Italy.

Vladimir Yegorovich Makovsky (1846 - 1920) was a Russian painter, art collector, and teacher.Makovsky was the son of collector, Yegor Ivanovich Makovsky, who was one of the founders of the Moscow Art School. Vladimir had two brothers, Nikolay Makovsky and Konstantin Makovsky, and one sister, Alexandra Makovsky, all of whom were famous painters. Vladimir studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. He finished his studies in 1869 and the following year became one of the founding members of the Association of Travelling Art Exhibitions, where his many years of prolific work brought him to a leading position Makovskys work was defined by a perpetual humor as well as blatant irony and scorn. During the seventies his paintings dealt primarily with small-town folk. His pictures, "The Grape-juice Seller" (1879), "Fruit-Preserving" (1876) and "The Congratulator" (1878) depict various scenes where the mood is finely conceived and almost laughter-inducing. Other works of his, such as "The Benefactor" (1874) and "The Convict" (1878) are profoundly socially conscious. In them, Makovsky either criticizes the false sympathy of the aristocracy towards the poor, or draws attention to the oppression and persecution by the tsarist gendarmerie. In 1878, he became an academician.In the eighties, during the time of Russian "democratic" painting, Makovsky produced some of his most valued works. In 1882, he was made professor at the Moscow Art School after the death of Vasili Perov. Some of Makovskys greatest works of this period include "In the Ante-room of the Court of Conciliation" (1880), "The Released Prisoner" (1882), and "The Collapse of the Bank" (1881). From the end of the 1880s, Makovsky began to produce more gloomy works. Quintessential works of this period include "You Shall Not Go" (1892), and "On the Boulevard" (1888).In 1894, Makovsky became Rector of the Preparatory school of the Academy of Art. After the First Russian Revolution, he painted "January 9, 1905, on Vasilyev Island" in which he depicts the armed police firing at defenseless people. In another painting "The Sacrifices on the Khodyn Field" in which a thousand people lost their lives during the coronation ceremony in 1896 of Nicholas II, he again stood uncompromisingly on the side of the oppressed people.

Vladimir Lukich Borovikovsky (1757 1825) was a Russian painter of Ukrainian origin who dominated portraiture in Russia at the turn of the 19th century.Vladimir Borovikovsky was born V?l?dymyr Borovyk in Myrhorod (now Ukraine) on July 24, 1757. His father, Luka Borovyk was a Ukrainian Cossack and an amateur icon painter. According to the family tradition, all four of Borovyks sons served in Myrhorod regiment, but Volodymyr retired early at the rank of poruchik and devoted his life to art mostly icon painting for local churches.Borovikovsky may have lived the remainder his life as an amateur painter in a provincial town if not for an unexpected event. His friend Vasyl Kapnist was preparing an accommodation for Empress Catherine II in Kremenchuk during her travel to newly conquered Crimea. Kapnist asked Borovikovsky to paint two allegoric paintings (Peter I of Russia and Catherine II as peasants sowing seeds and Catherine II as a Minerva) for her rooms. The paintings so pleased the Empress that she requested that the painter move to Saint Petersburg.After September 1788 Borovikovsky lived in Saint Petersburg where he changed his surname from the Cossack "Borovyk" to the more aristocratic-sounding "Borovikovsky". For his first ten years in Saint Petersburg, he lived in the house of the poet, architect, musician and art theorist, Prince Nikolay Lvov, whose ideas strongly influenced Borovikovskys art. At the age of 30 years, he was too old to attend Imperial Academy of Arts, so he took private lessons from Dmitry Levitzky and later from Austrian painter Johann Baptist Lampi.In 1795 he was appointed an academician. He became a popular portrait painter and created about 500 portraits during his lifetime, 400 of which survived to the 21st century. He had his own studio, and often relied on assistants to paint the less important parts of a portrait. His sitters included members of the imperial family, courtiers, generals, many aristocrats, and figures from the Russian artistic and literary worlds. Most of his portraits are intimate in style.
