M-am indragostit de Alice Liddell imediat cum i-am vazut pozele.De Alice mica evident.Un amestec de priviri mature,contemplative si iz de superioritate cu fragilitate,neajutorare si ghidusie.Este superba si nu ma mir cum de Lewis Carroll s-a indragostit de ea.Imi place ca am vazut-o pe adevarata Alice,cea care nu are parul blond si hainutele albastre.E mai faina cea reala pentru ca e intr-un fel ireala,prin privirea atipica varstei ei.
Personajul din poveste infatiseaza o Alice Liddell intinsa, precum o caramea, de laudanum. Cel mai mult ma bucur ca am aflat ca exista si partea a doua a Peripetiilor Alisei, care se numeste Through the looking glass.(exista pe youtube filmul intreg-in 10 parti)
Eternal gaze este o animatie inspirata de evenimente din viata lui Giacometti.Prima data cand am vazut o imagine cu o lucrare a sa a fost acum 8 ani.M-au impresionat f mult(ca si acum de altfel) formele oamenilor sai.Imaginea oamenilor care ii tin companie,imagine care se aseamana cu oamenii mei decrepiti,cocosati si ososi.
"Obsessed with creating his sculptures exactly as he envisioned through his unique view of reality, he often carved until they were as thin as nails and reduced to the size of a pack of cigarettes, much to his consternation. A friend of his once said that if Giacometti decided to sculpt you, "he would make your head look like the blade of a knife." After his marriage his tiny sculptures became larger, but the larger they grew, the thinner they became. Giacometti said that the final result represented the sensation he felt when he looked at a woman."
Even when he had achieved popularity and his works were in demand, he still reworked models, often destroying them or setting them aside to be returned to years later.
Even after his excommunication from the Surrealist group, while the intention of his sculpting was usually imitation, the end products were an expression of his emotional response to the subject. He attempted to create renditions of his models the way he saw them, and the way he thought they ought to be seen. He once said that he was sculpting not the human figure but "the shadow that is cast."
Back in his Parisian studio after the war, Giacometti began making the sculptures of slender proportions with highly agitated surfaces with which he is most closely identified. The women all stand, while the men seem to be walking, but they are all ambiguous representations, mysterious and unemotional. He remained in Paris in the same studio he had occupied since the 1920's until the end of his life.
The relationship between figure and space became the core element: The striding or standing figures find themselves in emptyness and isolation. In this intensive-subjective representation, an existential exposure and angst based on the immediacy of the moment is hinted at. To many they are a reflection of the spiritual situation of the time. Just like his sculptures, Giacometti's drawings and paintings depict the lost human being in the emptyness of space with great intensity and sensibility. The formal characteristics are a graphic network of lines, with which Giacometti extracted volumes from areas, and an almost monochrome color scheme used in his paintings
