não existem transcendências nem hermenêuticas nas naturezas-mortas renascentistas: o artista usava o meio para demonstrar a sua mestria na representação das várias superfícies e relevos como constavam no mundo real. Uma lagosta é uma lagosta é uma lagosta, não há aqui estados d'alma nem obras íntimas.  


the back side of a canvas II - Jan Davidsz de Heem

there are no transcendences nor hidden meanings on Renaissance still-life painting: the artist uses the medium as a display for his skills catching reality. A lobster it is a lobster it is a lobster, just so.

Como ia dizendo, se o povo não tiver que pagar mais pelo BPN, talvez cada popular possa ter o seu jardim. Se o povo também não que tiver que pagar mais pelas rendas (muitas muitas que para aí há, parece um punho luís 14), talvez cada um de nós possa ter este.

Water Music and Medici

As I was saying, if people stop paying for BPN, perhaps every folk can have his own garden. If, more than that, people stop paying for abusing rents, perhaps each of us can have a proper garden, like this one.

GUÉTAUTOFÍAR !

Só esta vale um post sozinha.É um super-bem-feito-resumo-da-estação e pode-se comprar, haverá um dia em que jantamos sopa, e noutro se fará quaresma. Depois com mais tempo e mais amigas esta almofada voltará, se eu me demorar talvez já com preço de saldo.

love song for a vampire

Ultra Romantics also deserve their share of upgrade. With less dust and spider web, for sure, but intense and dark as always. There will always be laughter, but, at least in same proportion, there will always be melancholia.

Cantiga de Amor para um Vampiro

Se tudo tem um upgrade, o ultra-romantismo a la Feliciano de Castilho também merece o seu. Com menos pó e teias de aranha, é certo, mas intenso e soturno como sempre. Há-de sempre haver risos, mas pelo menos na mesma medida há-de sempre haver melancolias.

Karl Lagerfeld photographed the new Chanel campaign starring Tilda Swinton. Happened in Scotland, with much highlands spirit, and such attitude, as well as the result is much revealing of what people wants, deco concerning. To me it smells a little, a lot, like Vivienne Westwood, but made with resources.
