#GREAT ARTWORK

[bakinochkame]

📌Ни одна ночь не приносит с собой полной темноты

Я говорю вам, я утверждаю, что у самой глубокой печали есть дно и всегда есть окошко, открытое в ночь,освещенное маленькой лампой.

Даже в отчаявшейся душе среди сонного мрака и холода не спит безумнейшая мечта,пытаясь согреть эту душу.

Тьма не может быть беспросветной,потому что есть щедрое сердце, чтобы простить нас, и рука, протянутая для спасения, и внимательные глаза.

В самом пустом и враждебном мире какой-то человек живёт для того,чтобы разделить с тобой твою жизнь.

📍И другой перевод того же:

📌В мире нет беспросветных ночей

Вы мне верить должны,если я говорю

Если я утверждаю

Что всегда даже в самой кромешной печали

Есто открытое настежь окно,озаренное светом

В мире есть мечта начеку

Есть желанье,которое нужно исполнить,

Есть голод,который нужно насытить

В мире есть благородное сердце

И пожатье надёжной руки

И внимательные глаза

И жизнь, которая хочет,

Чтобы её разделили с другими.

ПОЛЬ ЭЛЮАР (перевод М.Ваксмахера)

Картина R.Magritte, Voix do sang (Голос крови), 1961

Был у Магритта ещё один талант - он умел чётко и ясно выражать свои мысли, вкладывая в короткие фразы определяющий смысл. Их цитируют до сих пор :

"Сюрреализм - это реальность, освобожденная от банального смысла"

Sometimes I see all the great art on here, and feel self-conscious but sometimes, I realise it's not all about talent it's about sheer artistic boldness, and let me tell you

I have that boldness

Tales of an Old Artbook

A few months ago I was searching through my things and stumbled upon a large record set under the name "The Story of Great Music" which was produced in the late 1960s under a company named "Timelife Records".

I assume these records were given to me by my father, as I generally have little interest in records or physical music recordings in general. And yet I opened them up to take a look anyway, I was pleased to find that each record set came with a listeners guide, and, more important to me, an old artbook.

Each of which contains short biographies of the artists on the records, historical information about the era, and, most excitingly for me, art from the time of the music!

Why don't we take a look together?

Today we will explore The Story of Great Music's Slavic Tradtions book. Which is my personal favorite, I pick it up on the regular.

Upon opening the book you are greeted with a page depicting a bright and blocky painting. Part of the image description reads:

"...The final scene of Mikhail Glinka's "Life of the Czar" is shown ... One of Russia's most popular operas, the work became the corner stone of the nationalist music tradition. It is still being perfromed frequently in the Soviet Union..."

Soon later we stumble upon Ilya Repin's painting "Slavonic Composers", this painting is very appealing to me. That line "The great and now obscure are mixed indesciminately." is so striking and raw. Who are you? Unknown creatives! What were you known for!

Now this was an interesting find, this map depicts various highlights in Slavic history, though not in a straight line.

This page folds outward and a lengthy description guiding you through history is visible on the opposite page.

On the next page we are greeted by paintings that decorate the great Old Town Hall Clock in Prague. Which are accompanied by the legend of the clock tower and an image of the clock itself in all it's glory.

Shortly later we arrive at a short description of my favorite art movement "Predvizniki" or as they are described here : "The Wanderers", I could go on for ages but we haven't the time!

This breif dip into the works is accompanied by the brilliant and awe inspiring "To All Great Conquerors..." painted by Vasily Vereshchagin in 1871.

This is followed by a few pages of paintings by the great Ilya Repin.

"The Wellspring of Russian Music", a fascinating section about, well, I suppose it is obvious isn't it? However I very much enjoy this beautiful sketch "PUSHKIN IN EXILE" a title very to the point.

""THE MIGHTY FIVE" CARTOONED." A very comedic piece, i laughed very hard to see that this artist had turned Rimsky (a personal favorite of mine) into a lobster. (Why? I am unsure.)

I do wonder if the artist who painted this would have ever expected someone to laugh at their mockery of the mighty five a hundred and fifty years later?

Onto fairy tales! The images have breif descriptions of the adventures they represent beside them!

On the left we see "Stupid Emilien" and on the right "The Flying Ship".

And above we see "The Firebird" what an exciting piece indeed!

Later on we encounter two lacquer paintings from the Russian village of Palekh. On the left we see "THE GOLDEN COCKEREL" and on the right "THE TALE OF CZAR SALTAN". Which are both scenes from poems by Pushkin, which were each the basis of the operas by Rimsky respectively.

Now the book winds through and out of it's lovely stream of paintings and plans to take us on a tour using photography! The image above shows some beautiful stained glass and the veiw of some stunning buildings in Prague.

After a couple more pages of some well cherished areas in Prauge we are taken to the countryside. This is one of my favorite pages in the book!

Near the end of the book we're greeted with some pictures taken during plays, what they are about you ask? Well the captions will tell you all that you need to know! (And all that I know myself...)

We have reached our journeys end and find a final painting awaits our veiw. Wassily Kandinsky's "Motely Life". Part of the images description reads as follows:

"a backward look at the dream-world of the artists Russian childhood" ... "Purely as a work of imagination, Kadinsky's glowing painting sums up in its crowds, castles, flowers, and forests the strange mixture of gaiety, oppresiveness, and swelling drama that was pre-revolutionary Russia- the world of the Russian nationalist composers discussed in this volume."

I hope that if you have made it this far you have enjoyed my post. It is the first time I have created a large blog post on Tumblr, as I mainly do on SpaceHey (the modern reproduction of MySpace) so I have never really posted seriously on here before.

I am very slow with serious posts on any website so if you would like to see more of me I hope that you could bear reblogs as well. (Though I do have another post I would like to work on...)
