White Blisters On Gums

Soundtrack and Film, Debris Imaginary

What is at the bottom of the film, as well ... 'stories', beyond the theories of analytical and critical for us individually, or fragments of imagery, represented that of interiority is often confused with the perception of our life?
Or rather what is in those of us privileged moments ,
comprise the sum of a shot, a gesture, a face, words and musical notes some highlights?


There are several elements that contribute to the success or not of a film: literature / screenplay, decoupage, editing, cinematography, directing, acting ... because a film is still a point of intersection between the arts and more languages. Or, according to others, may also be a 'mill' of various codes of expression higher.

Although usually a bit 'in the background for those occupa di linguaggio cinematografico, anche le colonne sonore hanno importanza basilare: ce ne sono alcune che sono solo funzionali al film (ne costituiscono cioè solo il 'fondo sonoro' come le chiamava talvolta Buñuel negli anni 60-70 quando non ne faceva quasi uso).
Eppure ce ne sono altre che a volte hanno un valore maggiore del film stesso, o hanno una tale personalità da fuoriuscire dal loro ambito, costituire un'opera d'arte indipendente e diventare classici, altre volte ancora s'integrano perfettamente con i contenuti del film attraverso la resa puntuale di un clima emotivo, psicologico.
Altre non sono state composte appositamente per il film, ma provengono dalla storia della musica, e sono materiale di pregio preesistente chosen for some scenes, usually to enhance and enrich a sequence.
In this last case please note the use of huge, by Visconti,



(pictured, Romy Schneider in 'Ludwig', 1973)

of Wagner, Strauss, Mahler and other great classical pieces, which will outline now, why would an encyclopedia only for that purpose. Many of these classics are better at setting the story in an era of individual and context, but are sometimes also used 'improperly', at least in the ear of a lover of music, because new functions to signify other than what the musician of secoli passati voleva dirci, anche se almeno nel caso di Visconti c'è una maniacale cura nella ricostruzione storica.

Oppure si incontra l'uso strategico, come contrappunto tra le sequenze, di Schubert in 'Barry Lyndon' (1975) di Stanley Kubrick.

O ricordiamo il caso peculiare di un film come 'Anonimo Veneziano' (1970) di Enrico Maria Salerno, che oltre al famosissimo tema di Stelvio Cipriani, rinfrescò la memoria classica con l'uso del Concerto per oboe e archi di Alessandro Marcello , che gode da allora di una seconda (o meglio, ennesima) giovinezza.

Gli esempi sono tra i più disparati. Qui si tenta di ricordare alcuni momenti privilegiati soundtrack, with a value in itself already, maybe not according to the trivial schema 'song and the movie', but as little as possible in the issue discounted meaningful 'cinema and music'.

A special case is the movie 'Diva' by Jean Jacques Beineix (1981), which also reflects on the theme of stardom in contemporary times, in relation to the opera, but also to copyright, the uniqueness of the performance of 'art, the reproducibility (real or otherwise) of the musical' living and true 'in the records: the soundtrack has Vladimir Kosma beautiful songs, but also an interpretation of' iconic 'air ' Well .. . shall go away ' taken from 'Wally' di Alfredo Catalani, cantato da Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez nello stesso girato del film.

Un ulteriore rapporto privilegiato musica/film è "Tè nel Deserto" di Bernardo Bertolucci (1990): al di là del giudizio sull'opera, la colonna sonora di Ryuichi Sakamoto ha animato letteralmente molte sequenze, dato vita a momenti a volte quasi panoramico-documentaristici, aggiungendo un'idea di destino incombente, comunque presente nel film, con quel modo di comporre attento alle atmosfere, alle minime variazioni degli stati d'animo, fino a rendere la musica metafora e co-significante al film, a suggerirci che il 'deserto' di cui si trattava era prima di tutto un deserto interiore, un senso di perdita of himself that became 'Sheltering Sky'.
Sakamoto is a remarkable composer, who for years was imposed for both soundtracks extraordinary, both in collaboration with David Sylvian, or educated in jazz, and pop music (but quality), as well as being a pianist (of all kinds) out of the ordinary.

Also from Bertolucci, but for the movie "Stealing Beauty" (96) was chosen a mixed soundtrack of contemporary pop-rock songs, not at all in my opinion, including the repechage of the excellent, but used almost everywhere, films and commercials, Portishead.
be noted to show the extraordinary song "Alice" by Cocteau Twins , which unfolds in different sound levels, thanks to the angelic voice of Elizabeth Fraser, an icon of English new wave, inventor of the ethereal dream pop since the early 80's. Another little gem is
audio 'Take me with you' Elizabeth Fraser for the movie / existential fairy tale 'The Winter Guest / The Winter Guest' (97, reg. A. Rickman), with music by Michael Kamen, which revives the Scottish literary and poetic, intimate and moral, so different from current or screaming from the cinema 'from gravure'.
Elizabeth has been an innovator, but also at the bottom of the experiment was rather close to the detail of his mystical land. Who knows this is not even the royal road against the dying of the arts:
distill emotions meet again his soul and not deny their roots, away from a market that flattens and approve everything, and that would have us join models impersonal, pre-packaged and commodified, pre-determined by others. Still

Sakamoto is the author of the remarkable soundtrack controversial film 'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence / Furyo' (Nagisa Oshima, 83) with the well-known song Forbidden Colours, also in voice sung by David Sylvian.




(frame from "The Belly of an Architect", 87, Peter Greenaway)

To return to 'contemporary classics' to be mentioned musical choices, specially targeted for many films by Peter Greenaway has always been interested in the links between cinema and letters, art, architecture, painting, geometry, fashion, golf has gradually explored in several films.

'The Belly of an Architect' for example developing the plot together with a visual architecture, especially Roman, having as a counterpoint to the exciting music of Wim Mertens and Glenn Branca.

Michael Nyman (except the rich career as a composer on his own) in addition to working in many later films of Greenaway, for 'Drowning by Numbers' (88) in particular writes trysting Fields which is a sort of reflection and expansion on themes Mozart, and at the same time a fascinating piece. Great skill that is also found in 'The Piano' for 'The Piano' (93) by Jane Campion. We should also mention

Wojciech Kilar for its extensive activities of contemporary composer, big scores for string orchestra, and film for his soundtrack to 'Dracula' Coppola (92) where stands 'Love Remembered', but much more dramatic for the soundtrack to 'The 9th Gate / Ninth Gate' Polanski (99), and the intense ground Vocalese with soprano Sumi Jo.

It's time to talk about our Morricone, would in turn require an encyclopedia in hand, ne sono già state scritte; tento di dire allora qualcos'altro: il suo influsso è stato molto forte, nei generi più disparati. Il suo modo di fare musica, dai lenti più sognanti alle tipiche chitarre cadenzate degli spaghetti-western (si pensi anche solo ai suoi lavori per Sergio Leone) sono fuoriusciti dall'ambito cinematografico, e ampiamente ripresi in vari generi musicali.
Nel Neofolk, Folk Apocalittico-Marziale e nel Military Pop dei gruppi degli ultimi 20-30 anni, valga su tutti l'evidenza dell'influsso morriconiano su alcuni brani dei Death in June, seppur frammisto a suoni più rituali e Old Europa di un'epica personale propria: "The Honour of Silence"




(scene from 'Ghost of Love' by Dino Risi, 1981)

never spoken instead of the very talented composer Riz Ortolani, another life spent in music to the movies. Numerous are his soundtracks, some famous, others unjustly underestimated here remember his fine work 'Ghost of Love' (1981) Dino Risi, dramatic film that belongs to the phase-introspective director and Schneider's one of the last film: actress out of the ordinary in the world but remembered more for the affected series of Sissi, which is not for movies, copyright or otherwise, which went pretty intense as an adult. Part of the soundtrack are
compositions Ortolani, turns to a smoky jazz, coined the atmosphere of the movie filmed in Pavia, and illuminated by Benny Goodman, guest star operation.
But the songs are more evocative and lush Ortolani and his orchestra, played obsession of feelings, time and people lost in the fog of memory, including ghosts and madness.

Within music / cinema face time to jazz only in passing, avoiding the musicals and Broadway, the relation between classical and Jazz Noir, but at least some soundtracks are memorable and remained in history:

'Elevator to the Gallows' is a Louis Malle film noir (57), with Jeanne Moreau.
Miles Davis created the soundtrack for watching the movie and improvised above so shocking.



(Jeanne Moreau, frame by 'Elevator to the Gallows', Louis Malle, 1957)

'Let's get lost' is a film by Bruce Weber (88) on the life of jazz trumpeter Chet Baker, the soundtrack consists of several pieces by Chet, who become the same story of his life in a b & w grainy.

From 'One from the Heart' of Francis Ford Coppola (82), note the collaboration between Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle (with Jack Sheldon, and Chuck Findley on tromba).

'Taxi Driver' il famoso film del 76 di Martin Scorsese ha una colonna sonora del genio del secolo in questo ambito, Bernard Herrmann (già storico compositore Hitchcockiano, si pensi solo al ruolo della musica ispirata ma così precisa nel contrappunto ritmo/montaggio in Psycho, Vertigo)qui impreziosita dal sax fluido di Tom Scott.

In jazz e dintorni ancora non posso non citare the Divine Sassy, ovvero l'enorme Sarah Vaughan, con una sua perla , in collaborazione con Quincy Jones, per il film 'Fiore di Cactus' (1969, Gene Saks);
o non ricordare l'esplosiva Shirley Bassey , l'icona degli 007 dalle enormi possibilità vocali, tuttora in attività.




(fotogramma da 'Il cielo sopra Berlino' di Wim Wenders, 87)

Cambiando genere, va segnalata l'originalità anche di una sorta di Road Movie Music unita al forte senso di fatalità del noir USA riletto però in Nord Europa nell' 'Amico americano' (77) di Wim Wenders , tratto da Patricia Highsmith, che mostra tra l'altro una Amburgo e Monaco di Baviera raggelate, mai inquadrate in quella maniera. La colonna sonora particolare e carica di tensione è dell'ottimo Jürgen Knieper, presente ancora per decenni in collaborazioni con Wenders, che qui gioca con gli archi e una melodia quasi intimistica per guitar, broken by sudden full orchestra.

Following Wenders will also build a soundtrack composed of songs of several rock bands-d'avanguardia contemporary, very successful for the song 'Until The End Of The World' (91) Crime + the City Solution 'The Adversary' ; also note the presence of David Darling, cellist class (and of course, the famous U2 on the other hand glissando in the family).
yet to be mentioned in the care for the music and poetic epic 'Wings of Desire' (87) which also contains one of best bits of Nick Cave.



(frame from 'Wings of Desire' Wim Wenders, 87)

Still in rock and film thickness, the disturbing 'Lost Highway' (97) David Lynch uses a beautiful song of David Bowie 'I'm Deranged', and
Nine Inch Nails 'The Perfect Drug' deliberately hallucinatory, as well as parts now historic collaboration with Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks already).

For 'Batman Returns' (92) Siouxsie writes a provocative 'Face to face' with Danny Elfman, played on the double.
the soundtrack of 'The Crow' (94) is one of the last songs benriusciti Cure 'Burn'.

'Miriam si sveglia a mezzanotte/the Hunger' di Tony Scott (83) è stato un film simbolo estetizzante per una generazione: non molto considerato dal punto di vista di contenuti e regia, pare ai più una sorta di videoclip con un montaggio molto moderno per l'epoca, un delirio formale di erotismo patinato, vampirismo contemporaneo in senso lato in relazione con la sessualità.
Forse meno leggero di quel che si dica, in realtà la colonna sonora è curata, composta da brani classici (Lakmè di Léo Delibes ) e rock-darkwave, entra nello stesso narrato:
il film si apre con Peter Murphy dei Bauhaus, in un locale notturno, che interpreta 'Bela Lugosi's dead'(ripresa ampiamente anche in commercials, such as technical and stylistic choices for sound editing on the pictures).



(Catherine Deneuve in 'Miriam wakes up at midnight' / 'The Hunger' by Tony Scott, 1983)

In this way, trying to reconcile the past with the present , which is not seems to succeed very well in their respective films, the characters of Miriam, or to Nino in the 'Ghost',
conclude, although much more could be said, and probably will continue in future posts. In the movies mentioned, for one reason or another, music has an important role, beyond the vague emphasis on the function of vision. The ideal is to have
these records at hand, and having all these movies, but everything can be
fun doing the same journey together, and clicking on various links.

Haematoma More Condition_symptoms

of Lelio Luttazzi, the class is not water



Here Garden, lacks a little 'music. And I take this opportunity to address them. The music is not like writing or painting, leave no trace (except for the scores) and flies, but it makes the heart happy.
I have not written a post on the death of Lelio Luttazzi that quietly took place on 8 July, because I do not like the crocodiles, but in this country distracted and irresponsible, I think that a tax, albeit late in the Lord of a true high-class Italian-swing jazz, good pop music, the must be guaranteed.

There was once a stylish TV. What a Saturday night dressed in a tuxedo and dress presenters along the singers. Lelio Luttazzi presenter was also discreet. Host and not "lead" as it is in vogue today, where pippobaudeggia histrionically trying to obscure the guests. Lelio no, he was limited to a brief introduction with: "Gentlemen ..... Minaaaa ."
Luttazzi a vein weird, crazy and surreal. His songs talk about that, instead of zebras stripes have the bullets (dots), of young men crazy. Shots of the moon instead of highlights that make you put the ice bag on his head when you fall in love, of young men who sing their hearts out even if they are out of tune, Trieste dogs who get drunk in front of "a bottle of wine." In short, even the love that is the main subject of all the songs are sung with extravagant light-hearted irony.

Born and died in Trieste in Trieste, a city where off the coast of the sea, has willed that after his death, his ashes were scattered from his boat called Oblomov, in a small ceremony a few close friends.
And speaking of the main character Oblomov by Ivan Alexandrovich Goncorov, Lelio has a personal theory. Oblomov is in fact passively blase attitude of those who think it is not worth the fight against human stupidity. Read this important step to learn more.
During his long and distinguished career Lelio Luttazzi was a musician, singer, composer, conductor, actor and TV presenter.
Born in Trieste, April 27, 1923 is the son of Sidonia Semani (elementary school teacher to Prosecco, a village near Trieste) and Mario Luttazzi. And 'thanks to the parish of Prosecco that the young Lelio approaches to the study of music and piano. He studied at the Liceo Petrarca of Trieste, where she had a close friendship with classmate Sergio Fonda Savio, grandson of Italo Svevo.

continued his studies by enrolling in the Faculty of Law at the University of Trieste, and during these years - in which an outbreak of the Second World War - Lelio Luttazzi began playing the piano at the Radio Trieste, also composed his first songs.
The 1943 is characterized by an encounter that changes his life, along with other friends of the university, he performed at Lelio Politeama in a musical show, the boys opened the concert by Ernesto Bonino, Torino singer very much in vogue at the time. This one is so impressed by Luttazzi that at the end of the exhibition asks him to compose a song for him. Lelio accepts the challenge: after a short time sent his piece Bonino in 1944 and the impact on vinyl. The song is the famous " The young fool," which became a huge success.

After the war, the SIAE Luttazzi recognizes a gain of 350,000 lire, which was then considered a very substantial sum. Lelio has no doubt trying to pursue a career as a musician, so he decided to leave university. In 1948 he moved to Milan and started working as musical director at the house CGD label. Teddy Reno in 1948 for writing "My Muleta", in Trieste, "my girl".
Two years later (1950) becomes a conductor in Turin for RAI . Lelio Luttazzi gives way to a successful career that will see it establish itself as a complete artist. Between 1954 and 1956 working in radio quiz program "The reason masked" by Mike Bongiorno. Meanwhile, he writes songs from the open character of jazz, full of swing, interpreting at the piano and singing in a very personal style: the most famous include "No matches", "Tied to a rock," "Shy twist", "Ask me everything," "I'm lazy." Dials evergreen songs such as "A zebra with polka dots " (sung by Mina), "Old America" \u200b\u200b(for the Quartetto Cetra), "Exceptionally, yes" and "Like " (for Jula De Palma) "You'll say to-morrow" (recorded in Italian by Sophia Loren). "Souvenir d'Italie", cited the "Bum Ahi! What a stroke of the Moon" (again for Mina.) "El can de Trieste", by Lelio sung in the dialect of Trieste, the lovely "even if they are singing out of tune" also redone by Christian De Sica.
programs such as television presenter presents "Studio 1" (with Mina), "Two Pair" (con Sylvie Vartan), "Teatro 10". Lelio Luttazzi è anche attore: recita ne "L'avventura " di Michelangelo Antonioni. Cosa c'entrava con i temi dell'incomunicabiltà Luttazzi? Eppure la sua presenza era pur sempre pertinente e coerente con l'atmosfera del film. Poi "L'ombrellone" di Dino Risi. Compone inoltre la colonna sonora di diversi film tra cui "Totò, Peppino e la malafemmina", "Totò lascia o raddoppia?" e "Venezia, la luna e tu".
La trasmissione che più d'ogni altra gli procura grande fama è la radiofonica "Hit Parade", una vetrina settimanale dei dischi più venduti, andata in onda ininterrottamente per 10 anni dal 1966 al 1976.

Just as is the height of its success, in June 1970 by Lelio Luttazzi life is shaken by lightning on charges of possession and trafficking of drugs, the artist was arrested, along with actor Walter clear. After 27 days in jail is free to leave, completely exonerated and acquitted of all charges. During the years following this, that deeply marked the remains embittered by stoning media that will be applied and sinks in the dark evil of depression. It is also influenced by his friendship with Walter Chiari and his social life . Occasionally works in radio and television, preferring to retire to private life at the end, aware of the futility of a life tricky too exposed to the spotlight. So the elegant character of Oblomov's to do with it will aid in a screen.
After 2000 he returned to be hosted by various radio transmissions is (W Radio2 Fiorello) and television. Back on the small screen as an interpreter in February 2009, when during the Festival di Sanremo 2009 (conducted by Paul Bonolis), Lelio Luttazzi - as distinguished guest - accompanies the young Arisa (pictured left ) , which will win the Festival with the song " Sincerità " nella categoria delle "Nuove proposte". Fu in quell'occasione che a Lelio venne conferito il Premio speciale alla carriera. Sono le ultime scintille di una carriera prodigiosa di questo signore di gran classe.
Nel maggio del 2008 Lelio Luttazzi, dopo oltre 57 anni trascorsi tra Milano, Torino ma soprattutto a Roma, dove ha abitato dal 1953, decide di trasferirsi definitivamente insieme alla moglie nella sua città natale, a Trieste. Ed è proprio in quella sua amata Trieste  che il maestro morirà  all'età di 87 anni a causa di una neuropatia. La barca Oblomov ora non solca più l'Adriatico.

Riascoltiamolo in questi strepitosi File musicali :

Wedding Program Quote

Veronica Gambarie, the poetry of all


Introductory note

Given the complexity of, as a matter of brevity I had to make several cuts; the alternative would have rather been to publish the post in at least three times. So I just touched on issues fundamental to the understanding of treatment, for example, how to make friends with Pietro Bembo, Vittoria Colonna, Bernardo Tasso, Isabella d'Este, or brilliant The meetings with the statuary Francis I, and the charismatic Charles V or correspondence with the various popes of the time. Meeting with Ludovico Ariosto I mentioned in this post . Neglect even trade punzecchianti had with Pietro Aretino ; teased and tamed in turn by Gambara. In the final round of the poet, that of religion, and of abandoning the Catholic faith, the public only after the conclusion of a poem: the abundance and complexity of historical events of that period, it is my intention to come back.
-----------
In a time when poetry was the prerogative of men only, and reserved for nobles, the Countess of Correggio and the Marchioness of Pescara, as women, were two significant exceptions. Almost the same age, Veronica Gambara was born in 1485, Victoria Column in 1490, had totally different experiences of marriage, whose feelings poured brightly into poetry: an exhilarating experience for the countess and happy, for the Marquise tormented and tormenting. The

Gambara, raised in a stimulating environment for a writer, he began to compose verses as a child, then art, growing up, she grew even useful.

In adulthood, relying on letters and poems on the setting of poetry, has sought, by means of it, even to settle disputes outside the kingdom, which has to govern. Although she never wrote with the intention of being then publish their private letters, the other, it is common practice time, corresponded in a pompous and refined, with the specific aim that their private correspondence would then become the object of printing. Just took the reins of Correggio, while in the waters of the lake, to Musso, Brianza and Milan were held in all the events linked to bloody well Medeghino told here, and the Romagna had just been shaken by the imperious exploits of Valentino in the small kingdom of Correggio, located in the middle of the two, the Countess Gambara ruled the small county in a manner totally different than those two, with bland use of weapons or force. In fact, during the 32 years of his government, in the county was recorded only one death sentence, and Remember to use of force and weapons in 1526 when, to defend itself from eight hundred soldiers, commanded by Fabrizio Maramaldo , it was necessary to mobilize all citizens, inviting them to take up arms. The eight hundred soldiers were then driven out, but still leave behind her death, hunger, desolation and pestilence.

Veronica Gambara was lazy nature, she loved good food, and was stout of build, has been also why I had some difficulty in getting married, so he had to take his mother, who asked for help in this regard to the family of origin, Pio di Carpi. And it was perhaps also for her that her obesity is not no picture, despite Antonio Allegri, called Correggio , was the official painter of the house Gambara. He had twenty-four, and was a great relief to her when they were married, first, by proxy, with nearly fifty Giberto X Correggio. This was also the widower of Violante of Pico della Mirandola , by whom he had two daughters and, as mentioned, was also related to the bride's mother for her, Alda Pio of Carpi. Contrary to what one might think, given the strong difference in age, Veronica was the turning point of life and happiness, even if short-lived, it was not a widow after dieci anni di matrimonio. Ciò non di meno il loro fu un matrimonio stabile e reso felice dalla nascita di due figli, che sarebbero potuti diventare di più, se un intervento chirurgico, resosi necessario per salvarle la vita, la privò del piacere di diventare madre ancora. Al contrario dell'amica Vittoria Colonna, infelice per quel marito giovane e forte, ma sempre in giro per il mondo in cerca di battaglie e di femmine, il marito di Veronica, ormai non più giovane nè forte, aveva deposto le armi ed aveva dedicato alla moglie ed alla prole il resto dei suoi anni. Il matrimonio per procura, senza che i due non si erano forse mai visti prima, era avvenuto il 6 ottobre 1518, una ricorrenza che la poetessa ricorderà sempre, anche e soprattutto in the 32 years of widowhood. Veronica had been dazzled by his appearance at first sight, so that later wrote "Beauty Adonis / gives in to his comparison." of the same tenor of these verses is the following poignant song, which, presumably, composed during the marriage by proxy of the future, when perhaps they had not yet seen.

Then that 's my fate, fateful
still loves you and He wants me while I long for you, pity in his breast That
Amor
What inspires you agree to my grief and deadly serious

E face 'Your wish is the same
A's ardent love my desires;
then grows as does pain and torment
that more than every other well is sweet 's harm.

And if this grace implore, my spotless sun,
No more happy and glorious state
Fortune gave love in the world ever.

And how to back troubles and woe
Patito has the heart, wherefore he grieved and hurt, will call
sweet, and he always blessed.

In the spring of 1509, the couple are in Naples, where, in the Cathedral of Amalfi, will celebrate the religious wedding ceremony. During that trip Veronica was able to revise his friend Bernardo Tasso, Torquato future father of the famous, known when he was in Ferrara in the service of the Este family. With him, young, there was an intense exchange of letters in slang and poetic verses. For business reasons, as we would say today, Bernardo had moved to Salerno.
as the rate, even Pietro Bembo was, and will be again, after the widow, the mentor's favorite Veronica, during the years of happy marriage will put a little aside .

In that period it was fashionable jesting imitation of Petrarch, but it was not by all, and above all it was male prerogative: the women were reserved for the family caregiver. Vittoria Colonna and Veronica Gambara but broke that taboo.
In 1509, Veronica had left his birthplace in Brescia at a time of Emilia. She was married by proxy the previous October with the Count Giberto X, Lord of the tiny kingdom of Correggio.

Of that period have been found only poems dedicated to her husband, and like this: "words / Sweets to hear of his beautiful fire burning . It also seems that in the meantime she had forgotten even the closest friends of Bembo, in particular. The Count Giberto died August 26, 1518, and Veronica, easy to suppose at the height of desperation, he wrote,

That node where my blessed fate,
order of the heavens, and shook legommi,
broke up with my pain and severe discinse
That cruel that 'the world calls death.

It was the grief so heavy and strong,
all my pleasures at once extinguished;
And if that reason is not yet won at last,
I Made my day and shorter and shorter.

But the subject only in part not to go too far
that when the beautiful face
shines over every shining star,

has eased the pain, that genius or art Let it not
could, hoping to heaven
The alma see besides the beautiful beautiful.

This leaves a widow at the age of 33 years, did not marry again, and kept the total mourning for the rest of life. His body was showing only her face. He even painted a black cab, tow only horse making blacks or black, also decorate the room and the bed made of black listed forever in mourning. In the early days of widowhood, she also thought likely to commit suicide, but maybe it was the thought of the two children still at an early age to distract from the ugly idea. And so it was waiting for their age, took over the reins of the small kingdom, fulfilling the task with determination and skill unusual for a woman of those times. The vicissitudes of life, then brought their children to deal with anything, becoming a better leader, and the less a cardinal. He touched so Veronica to govern the kingdom for over three decades in which he lived. And so the years 1519 to 1532 most of them devoted to politics and foreign policy in particular. He wrote in prose, or joking, Francis I and Charles V. Francis I they admire ava look statuesque, instead of Charles V great charisma. The mutual admiration between the Countess of Correggio and the Emperor was such that these, in its three come to Bologna, Twice he wanted to move from Correggio, hosted by the citizens with honor and Gambara home.

He composed mottoes and sonnets and letters for all and many lost, but several have survived, including by providing valuable evidence on the habits and lifestyles of the time, and a rich testimony to the evolution of our language that was slowly release from the Latin writings of formality. The great respect and awe for Charles V had moved in a sonnet he composed in 1526, after the Madrid peace agreement signed between the two kings. With that peace treaty, Veronica had deluded that finally would come to the universal peace so much desired by all. This is sonnet

Beating heart wiser and more Re alter,
Legari with arms and dissolve with peace, freedom and Tor
Give him when you like,
be sweet to the humble, the proud bitter;
What
Pajan false APPO de 'your true
honors others, that the face of virtue
Viva burning in you, that you still regret the error De
the shadow and the thoughts of vice;

born, Lord, to unite With the strong mind
the eternal wish, to little respect, that it divests its value
the unholy luck.

order will be your first
glory on earth and the heaven over each soul,
That honor, this ardent love.

In July 1532, returning Verola in possession of his family home, made a return trip to his native land. There was missing for over twenty years and the impression was that combined with emotion, he composed the following poem in his honor, this clearly Petrarchan:

With that desire to be born hot soles
in the breast of those who return, loving , absent
vague eyes to see, and the words
Sweets to hear of his beautiful fire burning
With that, just you, the world's shores alone,
Fresc'acque, pleasant hill, and you, more powerful
d ' other ch'l intended only going around,
Beautiful and happy in cities, to see come back.

Hi, my dear homeland, and you, happy
so loved by heaven, rich country,
What a lovely soul like a phoenix, Monsters
the high value clear and obvious;
Nature, only you and pious mother nurse,
He's done a thousand more serious offenses,
stripping them of what they had to make good
you courteous and large gift.

In "Fresc'acque, pleasant hill," we see clearly the influence of Clear, fresh and sweet waters .
From then on, and then from 1532 to 1540, committing itself to a poetry committed almost abhors frivolous verses written in youth. In the sonnet that follows describes in fact all the regret and disappointment in his youth have been lost in those "silly rhymes." And it's clear reference to when he wrote motets for the buffoon Baron, Gonzaga court, or popular songs for Isabella d'Este Gonzaga, a young man who dabbled in pop songs, and favored the verses composed by Veronica. So, from that for 1532 the Poetry Gambara Veronica has become a very serious thing, and write, among his many compositions:

While vague and youthful thoughts
I was brought up, or fear, now hoping
Crying or sad, and now happy singing
From desire fought or false, or true,

sfogai pitiful accents, and serious
The concepts of the body, often loving
His evil far more than 'the good looking, sadly
consumed the entire day.

Or that of other thoughts, and desires of other Pasco
the mind, to the already expensive place I
rhymes, and style, eternal silence.
And if then delirious, those first
Nonsense understood, now the regret remains
revealing the guilt, the grief inside.

In the final part of his life (1540-1550) noted the need to abandon Veronica religion. This is the period mentioned the introduction, on which we will return. I reprint here his only significant sonnet

Ite, false thoughts, and vain hope,
Blind greedy desires, burning desires;
Go, burning sighs, bitter pangs,
Companions always my eternal punishment;

Ite, sweet memories, bitter chains
the heart that even though you or dissolves,
It 's the curb of reason, all collect,
Lost a time,' n it is freedom.

And you povr'alma wrapped in so much suffering,
disconnected forthwith, and your divine Mr Fairy
your thoughts revolt;

Sforza boldly the fierce fate
And the strings break, and then dissolved
slight and address the steps to a safer path.

Although, as mentioned, Correggio was the official court painter Gambara, it seems there is no portrait of Veronica. It only has some news of a painting commissioned by her merriment, which was to be a Magdalene in the desert; but it went missing.

KATHERINE MANSFIELD, InspIrInG Atmospheres Dolent


Katherine Mansfield, born in New Zealand from a family of pioneers and raised in the studies and experience in the vocation of literature in England, found his narrator in the sap of two elements that made up his personality: the native spontaneity and instinctive adherence to tell almost physical object of the narrative, combined with a classic taste the shape and style, a collection which resulted in a writing apparently calm and pleasant ma in realtà aderente alla vita rappresentata con grande passione e pathos evocativo. E’stata una maestra della short story e si è affermata, pur nella brevità della sua esistenza (è morta di tisi a soli 35 anni), come una delle narratrici più singolari del primo Novecento, di quel Novecento che sperimentava nuovi modi di raccontare e che la colloca, per la sua capacità di svelare in un brevissimo lasso di tempo e in ambienti circoscritti un carattere o il destino di un’intera vita (tra l’altro fu una delle prime a ricorrere alla tecnica del flashback di gusto cinematografico quando la cinematografia era praticamente al suo nascere) accanto ad autori del calibro di D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Wolf e James Yoice. Its characteristic is to minimize the plot preferring, as she pointed to a page of his diary, "to intensify the so-called little things because everything is really significant." His stories are witty, sometimes caustic sketches, psychological and environmental, poignant portraits of women, touching sketches of lives crushed by the wheel minimum relentless and often cruel life. His writing probes the most intimate detail the movements and gentle soul, but can also return with a masterful touch environment and its atmosphere. Because of its capacity was often compared to another great writer of short stories like the Russian Anton Cechov (da lei stessa definito il “suo prediletto”), ma non bisogna dimenticare l’influsso di un altro fine evocatore di atmosfere come Henry James, da annoverare senz’altro tra i suoi maestri.
Alla Mansfield non interessano i fatti, gli avvenimenti, gli accidenti, ma, appunto, ricreare atmosfere che illuminino uno stato d’animo o rappresentino un ambiente, evitando, se non marginalmente, l’introspezione psicologica. Ma il mondo che evoca non è mai consolatorio, pur dietro il tono da intrattenimento colto e suadente mediato dalla novellistica ottocentesca. Le sue forbite des crizioni di luoghi e di ambienti celano un senso di minaccia per le piccole quotidianità soffocanti that host, sometimes causing the reader in a sudden chill of horror. His humor often hides a kind of horror vacui toward life and a painful sense of loss with respect to its unpredictability, in the presence of which we find ourselves defenseless.
Thus, Garden-Party, one of his most important novels, the pleasure of the garden party of the wealthy family of Lara, the young protagonist, is suddenly marred by news of the accidental death of a worker who lives in the small nucleus of miserable huts overlooking the beautiful estate of the parents of Lara. And the girl's mother finds nothing better to do, as a gesture of solidarity for that death, di mandare Lara nella casa del defunto con un paniere pieno delle buone cose avanzate dalla loro festa. Lara va avvert endo tutta l’inopportunità di quel gesto e sentendosi fuori posto col suo vestito di pizzo quando entra nella casa dei parenti del trapassato. Ma quando vede il morto, un giovane addormentato ormai lontanissimo da tutti loro, “così remoto, così tranquillo”, rimane sconcertata. “Stava sognando… Che cosa gliene importava delle feste in giardino, dei panieri e dei vestiti di pizzo? Era a mille miglia da tutte quelle cose. Era stupendo, bellissimo”. E quando, tornando a casa, incontra il fratello maggiore, non trova le parole per esprimere il sentimento che ha provato e bursts into tears. I can only repeat confusedly: "Life is ... true that life is ..." Another story
significant Happiness, in which Bertha and her husband, Harry receives a dinner for some friends, including Miss Fulton Harry clearly demonstrates to detest , while Bertha realizes that night to have unexpected affinity with her feelings and taste. Then, at the time of the leave, she, by chance, not seen, she discovers her husband as a gesture of intimacy with Miss Fulton. "Harry's nostrils quivered, his lips twitched into a nasty grimace and murmured:" Tomorrow "and the eyelids Miss Fulton said:" Yes. "
O la storia, dolentissima, di Miss Brill , un’insegnante zitella che la domenica si reca al parco dove, osservando i tanti quadretti di vita familiare che le si presentano davanti agli occhi, si sente come fosse a teatro, un teatro in cui tutti impersonano un ruolo e di cui lei stessa è parte. “Erano tutti sul palcoscenico. Non erano soltanto il pubblico, non stavano soltanto a guardare… Perfino lei aveva una parte e la recitava tutte le domeniche. Certamente qualcuno se ne sarebbe accorto se lei non fosse venuta”. Poi, un ragazzo e una ragazza vengono a sedersi sulla sua stessa panchina. “No, adesso no” disse la ragazza. “Non qui, non posso”. “Ma perché? Per quella old fool over there? Who knows what is doing here - who wants it? Should sit quietly at home and with that face like that old monkey is found. "

The Unknown Masterpiece


The Unknown Masterpiece, Balzac's story unfairly ignored by the general public, it predicted the fate of figurative art in the century following the where the great writer lived, her decline from that language or communication tool of a man with other men, who had been from its inception, the exercise solipsistic, self-centered, lonely and arrogant when he would set in modern times. Balzac, besides being the great orchestrator of stories accumulated in his vast production of novels and short stories which he called, with justified pride, his Human Comedy, was an excellent observer of the evolution of thought and morals and, far-sighted genius he was, he realized where it made landfall on specious reasoning and smashing of the artists, already present at the time, the relationship between artist and work of art, between art and reality. Let's look at the dates.
Honoré de Balzac ( photos below) was in 1799 and died in 1850, The Unknown Masterpiece is composed in Paris in 1832, decades before the explosion of that season of art that will go down in history as Impressionism and, while still remaining bound to the representation of sensible reality, is the first shock to the natural reproduction of the form, marks the start of the process that is conceptual, from the decomposition of the subject, leading to its dissolution. Balzac, by denying Frenhofer, the main protagonist of his story, the existence in nature of the line, the outline of objects, defined in reality by the light surrounding surfaces dynamically and volumes, already anticipates, precisely, the impressionistic vision a reality-based representation of moving and changing with the decomposition of the paint surface in spots and splashes of color, taking shape in a game of shadows and reflections gathered to blow ' eye to return the dissolution of local color in tonal values, perspective and atmosphere.


The most important characters of the Unknown Masterpiece are three artists, Porbus, the painter said that socially enjoys the favors of an important client, Poussin, the hopeful young artist moved from province to Paris to find her posto di rilievo nel mondo dell’arte della capitale e, appunto, Frenhofer, l’artefice più anziano che, nella sua volontà prometeica di ricreare sulla tela il palpito e il mistero della vita “rubando a Dio”, come dice lui stesso, “il suo segreto” per cogliere lo spirito, l’anima, l’immagine profonda degli oggetti e delle creature, si è estraniato completamente dalla vita e dal pubblico per darsi totalmente alla sua ricerca dell’assoluto nell’espressione artistica. Subito, nella scena d’esordio del romanzo, in cui i tre personaggi si incontrano nello studio di Porbus, di fronte a una Maria Egiziaca dipinta con tocco magistrale dallo stesso Porbus, Frenhofer ha parole of contempt for the work of his friend. "Your creation is flawed: you could not give that part of your soul to your favorite work," she says. "The torch of Prometheus you goes out more than once in the hands of your picture and many details have not been touched by the heavenly flame." And, in front of objection uttered in a tone of shocked by the young Poussin: "But this is sublime holy, sir," asks in response the palette and brushes Porbus and begins to correct its framework with rapid touches of color, explaining to the boy because of his actions. "See how, with three or four strokes and a slight bluish haze, could allow air to circulate around the head of this poor saint, who must have felt suffocated, crushed in this heavy atmosphere! Watch as this drapery flutters hours, and as we understand that it's the wind to lift it. Before, it looked like a starched cloth and pinned with pins. " Porbus has nothing to complain about in the activities of the older master, indeed, going later in his studio with the young, asks him to let them see the work to which Frenhofer working for ten years without having ever shown to anyone, the portrait of a woman he calls La Belle Noiseuse. "So" says "maybe I could paint a painting noble and great and deep." But strongly repudiates the old: "I have yet to perfect. Yesterday I thought he had finished, his eyes seemed moist, the meat beating the strings of her hair moved: she was breathing! .. This morning, in the light of day, I recognized that he had wrong. "


At this point the young Poussin is buzzing with curiosity: he is convinced, as Porbus that the vision of the unknown Frenhofer will pave the way for access to the knowledge of great paintings. To achieve this goal, do not hesitate to ask his girlfriend to go along by the old master to introduce them to portray in order to have access the vision of his painting and the secrets of his art. Even in the face of reluctance of the young girl, who takes the request of her fiance as a sort of prostitution of his greed pictorial beauty of the old master, he also accompanies Frenhofer before, at the risk of losing his love. But Frenhofer, even for a moment charmed by the beauty of the young woman, immediately puts the spotlight on his painting, this portrait of a woman who is the sole focus of his life and, in a sense, his true love. And this time he decided to allow the vision to two fellow artists to enjoy the triumph that the beauty of his creation on the back of the girl in the flesh and bone. But the picture will prove to be nothing but an incomprehensible tangle of overlapping patches of color that form a wall painting, in which he sees only a fragment of a bare foot, a foot delicious, perfectly shaped. "There's a woman under there!" Porbus exclaims, pointing to the Poussin Frenhofer layers of color that has in turn superimposed on the belief that complete his work. "But eventually even to realize, sooner or later, there's nothing on the canvas!" Said Poussin. Shocked by the tone of the boy, and disappointed by the attitude of Porbus, Frenhofer can see for the first time his picture with bright eyes, and all of its safety vacillano. “Niente! Niente!” prorompe, scoppiando in lacrime. “E ci ho lavorato dieci anni!” L’indomani Porbus, preoccupato, torna a cercare Frenhofer, e scopre che è morto quella notte, dopo aver bruciato tutte le sue tele.

Balzac ha previsto, con questo racconto magistrale, quale sarebbe stato il destino dell’arte e la sua inevitabile involuzione verso l’astrazione, il concettuale e l’informale , col loro corollario di equivoci sfocianti spesso nell’impostura; individuando così perfettamente le conseguenze che deriveranno dell’estraniarsi dalla vita e dal pubblico e comprendendo quale minaccia nascondesse l’estetismo exasperation and nihilism linked to a conception of art superomista construed only as an exercise in private and individualistic, with the danger of lack of communication and destructiveness which contained, became a threat in the modern era and post-modernity, a tragic reality.
