10 commandments to the modern artist, a photo by immb on Flickr.

Via Flickr:
Self-CRITICISM or self-DEPRECATION: whether the former or the latter starts, maybe one should never know :P

...Yet the former seems to be a QUITE RARE feature in artists, often conceited - this, so intensely that they just don't realise so, most of the time.

Every time I listen to this (that could surely be regarded as one of Sammy Davis Jr's great moments), I ALWAYS remember how inspiring and motivational this song had once represented to Stevie Wonder, just when he felt discouraged and almost quitting his musical career - then, one fine day, he'd listened to this song and decided to persist.

Às vezes o Google Earth pode trazer-nos até mesmo lembranças de épocas passadas, como neste caso.
Sometimes Google Earth can bring us even memories of past times, just like in this case.

Lima, Peru.
Bairro de San Isidro - onde ficava a casa onde moramos (q infelizmente ñ existe mais), em 1972. (ver o pontinho vermelho c/ letras verdes). À época, a rua chamava-se Av. ORRANTIA, posteriormente mudando d nome p/ Jorge Basadre.
San Isidro district - where stayed the house (that sadly no longer exists) in which we lived, on 1972. (see the small red point w/ the green letters). At that time, street's name was ORRANTIA Ave., later changing its name to Jorge Basadre.

While adding new stuff to this room's decor, one curious thing had happened: when this decoration was finished, and gazing at the final results, it somehow reminded of the beach's bungalows from the old times. Sorta 'betrayed by my subconscious' :P

Rembrandt's etchings: an Art review

iraweb95@hotmail.com (Iracema Brochado) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 17:57:00 +0000

Originally written on 2005, this article is being re-published here, with a few adaptations, including a few linked topics of interest.

This is NOT a translation, though, since it has been written directly in English.

A Memorable Experience in Arts

Some years ago, precisely on 2002, the citizens of Brasilia (Brazil’s administrative capital) had a quite rare opportunity to see, for the very first time in Brazil, an exhibition of Rembrandt Van Rijn’s etchings which compiled 83 works in total, of the Dutch-born artist (1603-1669).

The event, entitled Rembrandt and The Art of Print (‘Rembrandt e A Arte da Gravura’) and performed at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil in Brasilia and also São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Recife, was organised by the Netherlands’ Rembrandt House Museum (established in Amsterdam) and brought to the Brazilian audience a unique experience to view a careful selection of the artist’s most significant works in terms of etching techniques. Although being remembered mostly by his paintings nowadays, Rembrandt was also one of the greatest engravers of his time – a time when Engraving was as much valued form of Art as Painting.

The etching selection shown in the event demonstrated how Rembrandt did innovate the techniques of such craft, by emphasizing the use of pictorial effects more that line drawing itself, on his prints. The exhibition included a vast aspect of the subjects striven by the artist, from landscapes and allegories to portraits and nudes.

The exhibition had also shown Rembrandt’s influence on other artists both from his time and from recent times. Alongside to his own selection, an additional show has compiled 40 works collected from several influenced artists like Picasso, among others.

To sum up, the event should be considered as one of the most remarkable Art happenings of the year of 2002, in my memories. It surely has brought, not only for me but for every spectator, an immensely vivid experience of gazing at a compilation of Rembrandt’s true innovative geniality in the art of Etching and Engraving, which remains as one of the major references in Art History, of all times.
