Powers of Ten: Eames

2012-01-25T20:21:00.001+11:00

Segui @paukf Powers of Ten takes us on an adventure in magnitudes. Starting at a picnic by the lakeside in Chicago, this famous film transports us to the outer edges of the universe. Every ten seconds we view the starting point from ten times farther out until our own galaxy is visible only as a speck of light among many others. Returning to Earth with breathtaking speed, we move inward-

Sandro Kopp´s portraits

2012-01-23T09:49:00.001+11:00

At once the most familiar and the most contradictory of paintings genres the portrait may limit the painter's use of abstraction.

Segui @paukf DRAWING WITH SCISSORS Towards the end of his monumental career as a painter, sculptor, and lithographer, an elderly, sickly Matisse was unable to stand and use a paintbrush.

Renzo Piano in Santander: city & civilization

2011-09-19T20:21:00.000+10:00

Last friday I had a date with Renzo Piano. He was in Santander explaining his next project in the city: The Botin Foundation. Some architects in the city with old mentality are against change. Here is very common. Sometimes they are right, for sure; but they control many things here and don´t give a chance to change the way of living and the city. The result is that this city is so bored,

When i discovered this house i learned a lot about the relationship between architecture and philosophy. Maybe it is not the perfect way of construct in nature and in the landscape, maybe now i would consider this a bad design; but I think it´s very interesting anyway. Curzio Malaparte built for himself between 1937 and 1943 on the Island of Capri. Known as Casa Malaparte or ‘A House Like Me” it

“The very fact of the portrait's allusion to an individual human being, actually existing outside the work, defines the function of the art work in the world and constitutes the cause of its coming into being. This vital relationship between the portrait and its object of representation directly reflects the social dimension of human life as a field of action among persons, with its own
