In The Café

In the Café de Lurdes Castro | Arte Num Minuto

 

Esta obra é bem representativa dessa evolução e do interesse que a artista demonstra pela representação da sombra de pessoas e objetos. "In the café", titulo inglês desta obra, mostra-nos o uso de materiais inovadores, como as placas de plexiglas onde se destacam os contornos de duas personagens, uma masculina, absorta na leitura e outra feminina que a interpela. Outras silhuetas, um gato, um pilar, uma garrafa, as costas de uma cadeira, eleme...

W.S. Merwin - Thanks

Listen
with the night falling we are saying thank you
we are stopping on the bridges to bow from the railings
we are running out of the glass rooms
with our mouths full of food to look at the sky
and say thank you
we are standing by the water thanking it
standing by the windows looking out
in our directions

 

back from a series of hospitals back from a mugging
after funerals we are saying thank you
after the news of the dead
whether or not we knew them we are saying thank you

Mais logo na Gulbenkian

Exemplo dos programas pensados à medida da sua originalidade, Lorenzo Viotti dirige um fascinante périplo musical que tem como primeira paragem La mer, uma das obras mais fascinantes de Debussy. A inspiração em paisagens oceânicas liga-se, de forma natural, à declamação pelo ator João Grosso de excertos da Ode Marítima, de Álvaro de Campos, num concerto encenado que desemboca numa sinfonia de Szymanowski inspirada pela poesia, em concreto por um texto místico persa do século XIII. Estes conce...

Illustrations for Fourteen Poems by C.P. Cavafy

This series of etchings showing intimate scenes between men was inspired by the writings of Greek Egyptian poet Constantin Cavafy (1863-1933). Since his days at the Royal College of Art, Hockney had admired Cavafy's vivid, unapologetic evocations of homosexual desire. Hockney printed the portfolio in London with Maurice Payne.

Do You Reverse?

1932 - United States of America.

 

Introductory intertitle reads: "Here's an odd fowl, that walks backward to go forward so she can look behind to see where she went!"

Shot of a little girl who the narrator tells us is called Mary O'Connor (note: this is American author Flannery O'Connor as a little girl) from Savannah, Georgia (at least that is what it sounds like). Mary holds a chicken which she lifts onto her shoulder. C/U of the chicken as it walks backwards. Narrator claims that this is...

Martín Espada - Four Sandwiches

           —Washington, D.C.

 

JC was called the Rack   

at the work farm,   

aluminum milk pails   

dangling from his hands.   

Once a sudden fist

crushed the cartilage of nose

across his face,

but JC only grinned,

and the man with the fist   

stumbled away.

 

JC sings his work farm songs on the street,   

swaying with black overcoat and guitar,   

cigarettes cheaper than food.

But today he promises

four sandwiches, two for each of us.

W.B. Yeats - The Living Beauty

I’ll say and maybe dream I have drawn content—
Seeing that time has frozen up the blood,
The wick of youth being burned and the oil spent—
From beauty that is cast out of a mould
In bronze, or that in dazzling marble appears,
Appears, but when we have gone is gone again,
Being more indifferent to our solitude
Than ‘twere an apparition. O heart, we are old,
The living beauty is for younger men,
We cannot pay its tribute of wild tears.

Barkley L. Hendricks - Family Jules: NNN (No Naked Niggahs) 1974

 

Barkley L. Hendricks (April 16, 1945 – April 18, 2017) was a contemporary American painter who made pioneering contributions to black portraiture and conceptualism. While he worked in a variety of media and genres throughout his career (from photography to landscape painting), Hendricks' best known work took the form of life-sized painted oil portraits. In these portraits, he attempted to imbue a proud, dignified presence upo...

W.S. Merwin - New Moon in November

I have been watching the crows and now it is dark
Together they led night into the creaking oaks
Under them I hear the dry leaves walking
That blind man
Gathering their feathers before winter
By the dim road that the wind will take
And the cold
And the note of the trumpet
