Ford Madox Brown - Romeo and Juliet
  • Che peccato che ai matti non sia permesso di parlare saggio di ciò che i saggi fanno pazzamente!
  • La bellezza tenta i ladri più dell'oro.
  • Io considero il mondo per quello che è: un palcoscenico dove ognuno deve recitare la sua parte.
  • Tutto il mondo è un teatro e tutti gli uomini e le donne non sono che attori: essi hanno le loro uscite e le loro entrate; e una stessa persona, nella sua vita, rappresenta diverse parti…
  • Ti dimentichi forse che son donna? Devo dir quel che penso.
  • Gli uomini sono morti in ogni tempo, e i vermi se li sono mangiati, ma non per amore.

    The Last of England - City Art Gallery, Birmingham, 1855

    British painter Ford Madox Brown [1821-1893] -Pre-Raphaelite movement-, was born at Calais and trained at Antwerp, in Paris and at Rome, where he came into contact with the Nazarenes. Settling in England in 1846, he became a friend of the Pre-Raphaelites and, with his taste for literary subjects and meticulous handling, an influence on their work, though he was never a member of the Brotherhood. Rossetti studied briefly with him in 1848 and Brown's Chaucer at the Court of Edward III (Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, 1851) contains portraits of several of the Brotherhood.

    American painter Arturo Samaniego living and working in Naples, Florida. After years of figurative and portrait work, Samaniego has developed a style and a set of themes that suit his interest, and allow him to flex his creative muscles. Over the last few years his subject matter has become what he calls “contemporary still life”. The artist explains, “I am always inspired and challenged by the representational tradition of realism in oil painting, and I am equally intrigued by the energy and freedom of contemporary art.
    For this reason, my still lifes employ a careful execution in a realistic style, and also combine contemporary compositional elements, such as close-ups, sparse setups, clean lines, and the like    ”.

    Ukrainian-born French painter Elie Anatole Pavil [1873-1948] came to Paris in 1892. He established himself in Montmartre, on the Rue Caulaincourt.
    He had arrived at the high point of La Belle Époque; Pavil dedicated himself to capturing its atmosphere on canvas.

       Trattato della Pittura - Parte prima /16

    La pittura è una poesia che si vede e non si sente, e la poesia è una pittura che si sente e non si vede. Adunque queste due poesie, o vuoi dire due pitture, hanno scambiati i sensi, per i quali esse dovrebbero penetrare all'intelletto. Perché se l'una e l'altra è pittura, devono passare al senso comune per il senso più nobile, cioè l'occhio; e se l'una e l'altra è poesia, esse hanno a passare per il senso meno nobile, cioè l'udito.

    A babbo morto
    Il significato iniziale è di restituire dei soldi senza una data precisa, poi ha assunto altri significati, spiegati nella voce.
    Abbassare la cresta
    È il gesto con cui i galli, prima o dopo un combattimento, riconoscono la superiorità dell'avversario. Dal mondo contadino l'espressione ci è arrivata con il senso di "calare le proprie pretese", "riconoscere la propria inferiorità" o anche solo "far (di) meno l'arrogante / non fare tanto l'arrogante".
    A bizzeffe
    In grande abbondanza. Questa frase ha diversi sinonimi.
    A bocca asciutta
    Senza il bottino che si prevedeva di ottenere. Restare a bocca asciutta.
    A bocce ferme / A palle ferme
    Come nel gioco delle bocce la distanza dal pallino e di conseguenza i punti si assegnano solo a bocce ferme appunto, in certe situazioni è bene attendere che gli eventi in corso siano terminati per procedere ad una valutazione o ad un'ulteriore azione.
    A botta calda
    Nell'immediatezza dell'accadimento.
    A braccia aperte
    In modo accogliente ed affettuoso.
    A braccio
    "Pressappoco" intendendo qualcosa misurato a braccio invece che con il metro. Simile all'espressione "a spanne". Un discorso a braccio, è un discorso non scritto, non preparato.

    Felice Casorati 1883-1963
    Corpo di donna, bianche colline, cosce bianche,
    assomigli al mondo nel tuo gesto di abbandono.
    Il mio corpo di rude contadino ti scava
    e fa scaturire il figlio dal fondo della terra.

    Fui solo come un tunnel. Da me fuggivano gli uccelli
    e in me irrompeva la notte con la sua potente invasione.
    Per sopravvivere a me stesso ti forgiai come un'arma,
    come freccia al mio arco, come pietra per la mia fionda.

    Guy Carleton Wiggins [1883-1962], the noted AmericanImpressionist and one of the foremost artists affiliated with the art colony at Old Lyme, Connecticut, was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1883. He was the son of Carleton Wiggins, a prominent painter associated with the American Barbizon School. He spent the early years of his life in England where he received a grammar school education and traveled throughout Europe. Following in his father's footsteps, Wiggins became interested in painting and drawing during his boyhood.
    His creative and technical abilities were acknowledged at the age of eight, when various New York critics publicly praised a group of watercolors he had done in France and Holland. He received his first serious training in architectural draughtsmanship when he studied architecture at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute around 1900. However his artistic inclination proved stronger and he went on to enroll at the National Academy of Design in New York where his teachers included William Merritt Chase and Robert Henri. Recognition and critical acclaim soon followed. By the age of twenty, one of Wiggins' works had been purchased for the Permanent Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
