MASTERPIECE

Hello everyone! Today I go to speak about my favourite masterpiece.  I really think I don’t have only one favourite masterpiece, but I will choose one.  I choose a masterpiece of David Ligare, call: “Kimolos (Thrown Drapery)”.

David Ligare was born in 1945, in the city of Illinois, EEUU. His first formal arts studies were from in Art Center College of Design, in the city of Los Angeles. His paintings it’s in the galleries of Museum Modern Arts, New York, Museum of Fine Arts San Francisco, Florence and Museum of Madrid.

He is a realist contemporany painter and his work is focused in paintings of still life, landscapes and ordinary objects. This artist, believe in the power of the representation (in the way of perceptual analysis) because can make us see clearly and rationally. Some of his works represents mythological scenes and characters: Penelope, Aquiles. One of his masterpieces in this subject (in my opinion) is his Hercules protecting balance between Pleasure and Virtue (1993). This painting is an example of the classic treatment of colors and forms. We can see it in the bodies of the men, the posses, the clothes, the extra- elements (decorative) and in the composition in general.

Another element used by this artist is the still – life paintings. Historically, this type of paintings was less valuates because, still life seemed frivolous and served no useful purpose. But, nineteenth century, when painters began to assert the primacy of art for art’s sake, did still life begin to assume a higher status. Ligare’s use this and pretend to do “art for art” while the purpose is to educate: the paintings at once recall lessons from the past, and extract a universal order from the frenzy of modern life. “Kimolos (Thrown Drapery)” is only one masterpieces of de artist.  It paint was created in the years 2009-2010.



MY FAVOURITE PHOTOGRAPHY.

Hello! Today I speak about my favourite photography.  For this occasion I selection a picture about the Patagonia Chilean.  This because in my country today have a problem respect this topic.

I selected this picture for several reasons, but the most important reason for me is the amazing of place. The Patogonia is a place very extreme of country, in the south of Chilean, with a flora and fauna incredible, in place the animals lives together, in the wild, and de flora born of unique form. Also the intensity of de colors are magnificent, greens are strong and powerful blues.

The places more well-known are: Torres del Paine, Punta Arenas and National Park Torres del Paine. In the zone there much activity tourists, walks National Parks, trekking, boating, and visits for the incredible glaciers. It’s a beautiful rides for the family or friends. The only problem is that it’s very expensive for Chileans.

Because of its natural value the Patagonia is a much desired place for businessman. They expect do in the place a big inversion, in related with the energy industry. This will cause a catastrophe in this zone and other places for country. A most problem is the melting glaciers; it’s the largest water source country and the world.

Is very important as country to protect our places and nature. Patagonia is only one of the places wonderful that our country has and we must also protect all the natural places that Chilean has, from north to south.

MY FAVOURITE ARTIST

Hi everyone, today I go to speak about my favourite artist.  That situation is very complicate for me, because I do not have only one favourite artist, better I go to speak about the “Impressions” and it’s more important artists.

The Impressions is a “current” artistic French of century XIX, and your principal characteristic is the light. Is considered as the starting point at contemporary arts, finishing with the classic arts, and also with academy arts.  The impressionist artists chose the outdoor painting, they work in the nature, with daily thematic, capturing the natural light.

Principal impressionist artists (for me) are: Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Mary Cassatt, etc. But the best for me is Claude Monet, your pictures has very colour, and  your works with light are very amazing, he to be able to create in the works only using light, colors and forms, and he capture with naturally the objects. The most important pictures it’s: Nenúfares, Impression atardecer, The ampoules and The cathedral de Rouen. Nenúfares is a pictures series very famous, its made with oil and big brushstrokes. It’s colours are strong a typical impressionist characteristic.

Well, as I said the impressions is only one favourite current, and Monet is only one favourite artist, I choose for importance in the histo
