Art To Express Deep Feelings

What is the end of doing art?
Definitely one of its functions must be to express deep feelings.
Here is one where the singer and the song is one.
This is startling because of the background of the singer and the song writer. The age, education, cultural and ethnic and religious could'nt be more different.
Yet, the feelings and aspirations are so similiar. Both wants peace and freedom to be who they are.

Listen in.

 

Understanding The Intelligence And The Specialness Of Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali has a working style that is highly methodical. That he is gifted is already shown as a child. But that gift also comes with a great relish for hard work and meticulous observation of his surroundings.

Plus he has a strong sense of self-mockery and a decadent delight in pricking the pomposity of all and sundry!

This BBC Series in 6-parts, has given me a deeper understanding of the man and his life-works. I am sharing this wonderfully produced documentaries with hope that you may enjoy them as I have.

Salvador Dali The Man And His Works

Salvador Dali's life and works share intelligence and fantasy without a clearly defined border.

These remarks made about Dali is telling:
"At best labelled eccentric, at worst a paranoid lunatic, truly, he should be seen for what he painted: a surrealist, a modern-day alchemist, a man with one leg in this reality, and one leg in the other, his waxed moustache strangely suspended between a world where gravity exists, yet does somehow not seem to affect him too much. When once interviewed on an American television show, Dalí referred to himself in the third person, proclaiming "Dalí is immortal and will not die". In fact, Dali died several times. He had died a few years before he was born. He died as a young artist, when Dali broke with the Surrealist movement, whose members, like Bréton, began to refer to Dali in the past tense, as if he had died. He died when Gala died in 1982. He also died of heart failure on January 23, 1989, in Figueres."

From Wikipedia,the free encyclopedia

In 1941, American photographer Philippe Halsman met the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí in New York City and they began to collaborate in the late 1940s. The 1948 work Dali Atomicus explores the idea of suspension, depicting three cats flying, water thrown from a bucket, an easel, a footstool and Salvador Dalí all seemingly suspended in mid-air. The title of the photograph is a reference to Dalí's work Leda Atomica (at that which can be seen in the right of the photograph behind the two cats.) Halsman reported that it took 28 attempts to be satisfied with the result. This is the unretouched version of the photograph that was published in LIFE magazine. In this version the wires suspending the easel and the painting, the hand of the assistant holding the chair and the prop holding up the footstool can still be seen. The frame on the easel is still empty.

The copyright for this photo was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office but according to the U.S. Library of Congress was not renewed, putting it in the public domain in the United States and countries which adopted the rule of the shorter term.

An Artist Talking About Another

I stumbled upon Helen Mirren sharing her thoughts on Vasily Kandinsky. Amazing that she draws a connection between her acting as a carefully worked-out-thought-process with the paintings of
Vasily Kandinsky. But the link is fascinating: spontaneity, a loosey easy-peasy casual flow of feelings. Effortless!
Listen to her analysis of two art forms, distinctively different but spiritually similiar.
