Entre su extensa obra, se puede citar: "Los elementos de la noche", Morirás lejos", "Las batallas en el desierto", "Desde entonces", etc. "Vuelve a mi boca, sílaba, lenguaje que lo perdido nombra y reconstruye. Vuelve a tocar, palabra, el vasallaje con tu propio fuego te destruye" NOCHE Y NIEVE Me asomé a la ventana y en lugar de jardín hallé la noche enteramente constelada de nieve La nieve hace tangible el silencio y es el desplome de la luz y se apaga La nieve no quiere decir nada: Es sólo una pregunta que deja caer millones de signos de interrogación sobre el mundo.- LA DIOSA BLANCA Porque sabe cuánto la quiero y cómo hablo de ella en su ausencia, la nieve vino a despedirme. Pintó de Brueghel los árboles. Hizo dibujo de Hosukai el campo sombrío. Imposible dar gusto a todos. La nieve que para mí es la diosa, la novia, Astarté, Diana, la eterna muchacha, para otros es la enemiga, la bruja, la condenable a la hoguera. Estorba sus labores y sus ganancias. La odian por verla tanto y haber crecido con ella. La relacionan con el sudario y la muerte. A mis ojos en cambio es la joven vida, la Diosa Blanca que abre los brazos y nos envuelve por un segundo y se marcha. Le digo adiós, hasta luego, espero volver a verte algún día. Adios, espuma del aire, isla que dura un instante.- EL FUEGO En la madera que se resuelve en chispa y llamarada luego en silencio y humo que se pierde miraste deshacerse con sigiloso estruendo tu vida Y te preguntas si habrá dado calor si conoció alguna de las formas del fuego Si llegó a arder e iluminar con su llama De otra manera todo habrá sido en vano Humo y cenizas no serán perdonados pues no pudieron contra la oscuridad tal leña que arde en una estancia desierta o en una cueva que sólo habitan los muertos.- EL MAR SIGUE ADELANTE Entre tanto guijarro de la orilla no sabe el mar en dónde deshacerse ¿Cuándo terminará su infernidad que lo ciñe a la tierra enemiga como instrumento de tortura y no lo deja agonizar no le otorga un minuto de reposo? Tigre entre la hojarasca de su absoluta impertinencia Las vueltas jamás serán iguales La prisión es siempre idéntica a sí misma Y cada ola quisiera ser la última quedarse congelada en la boca de sal y arena que mudamente le está diciendo siempre: Adelante.- LA MATERIA DESHECHA Regresa, canción, hasta el paraje en donde el tiempo acaba mientras fluye. No hay monte o muro que su paso ataje: lo perdurable, no el instante, huye. Ahora te nombro, incendio, y en tu hoguera me reconozco: vi en tu llamarada lo destruído y lo remoto. Era árbol fugaz de selva calcinada palabra que recobra en su sonido la materia deshecha del olvido.- José Emilio Pacheco Imágenes: Pinturas de Michael Malm (Estados Unidos, contemporáneo) [email protected]

Artist Hope Gangloff captures the personalities of her friends and family in brightly colored large-scale portraits. Gangloff’s acrylic and collage paintings show her subjects in intimate settings—often domestic interiors—in poses of relaxation or quiet focus. The artist’s strong but gestural lines create defined shapes that are filled with repetitive marks and bright patterns. Gangloff gives equal textural attention to all areas of the painting, which draws the viewer’s eye to every detail and also contextualizes each portrait sitter in a unique set of surroundings. More

She looks serious on the picture, but imagine 100 people around laughing at her, joking, shouting! The hairstyle is made of dried cow dungs, herbs, roots, trunks, oil and fat. The number of big dreadlocks has a meaning: 3 dreadlocks means there is a dead people in the family. 4 to 6 dreadlocks is the normal style. The dreadlocks are called "Nontombi". The big yellow necklace she wears means she's ready to be married, it is called Vikeka. © Eric Lafforgue www.ericlafforgue.com
French photographer Gustave Gain (1876-1945) was born in Cherbourg, France on June 27, 1876. As a chemist he keens on photography and related technical achievements. After the invention of the Autochrome by the Lumière brothers, Gustave is actively engaged in color photograph. Gustave Gain loves beach. In the summer, he spent much time with his family on the coast of the English Channel in Brittany and Normandy, where he took a lot of stunning shots of his wife, Adeline and other women.
Watercolor; 53.5 x 36 cm. Alphonse Maria Mucha was born on July 24, 1860 in the town of Ivancice, Moravia (now in the Czech Republic, then part of the Austrian Empire). His singing abilities allowed him to continue his education through high-school in the Moravian capital of Brno, however drawing was first love since childhood. He worked at decorative painting jobs in Moravia, mostly painting theatrical scenery, then in 1879 moved to Vienna to work for a leading Viennese theatrical design company, while informally furthering his artistic education. When a fire destroyed his employer's business in 1881 he returned to Moravia, doing freelance decorative and portrait painting. Count Karl Khuen of Mikulov hired Mucha to decorate Hrušovany Emmahof Castle with murals, and was impressed enough that he agreed to sponsor Mucha's formal training at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. Mucha moved to Paris in 1887, and continued his studies at Académie Julian and Academie Colarossi while also producing magazine and advertising illustrations. In 1894, he produced the artwork for a lithographed poster advertising Sarah Bernhardt at the Theatre de la Renaissance. Mucha's lush stylized poster art won him fame and numerous commissions. Mucha produced a flurry of paintings, posters, advertisements, and book illustrations, as well as designs for jewellery, carpets, wallpaper, and theater sets in what came to be known as the Art Nouveau style. Mucha's works frequently featured beautiful healthy young women in flowing vaguely Neoclassical looking robes, often surrounded by lush flowers which sometimes formed halos behind the women's heads. His style was often imitated. Mucha visited the USA from 1906 to 1910, then returned to the Czech lands and settled in Prague, where he decorated the Theater of Fine Arts and other landmarks of the city. When Czechoslovakia won its independence after World War I, Mucha designed the new postage stamps, banknotes, and other government documents for the new nation. He spent years working on what he considered his masterpiece, The Slav Epic, a series of huge paintings depicting the history of the Slavic peoples, unveiled in Prague in 1928. He died of pneumonia after being arrested by the gestapo after being denounced as a 'reactionary' for his views. He was interred there in the Vyšehrad cemetery.
