How Long Should A Stick Of Deodorant Last?

Finally writing again:) Zandomeneghi De Nittis Renoir. The Painters of happiness.

Barletta again host a major exhibition Sull'Ottocento.

Coinciding with the inauguration of the Pinacoteca Giuseppe De Nittis, at the Palazzo della Marra Barletta, opens the exhibition "De Nittis Zandomeneghi Renoir. The painters of happiness "from March 31 until July 15, 2007.

The beautiful baroque structure of the Palazzo della Marra, restored and rearranged to accommodate the permanent collection of De Nittis Barletta, becomes a container of international art, which combines a permanent museum exhibition venue for temporary events and point of reference for studies and research on the art of 'Ottocento.Il context has a charm undeniable and the appearance of the sea, the literary cafe, bookshop, elevate the Pinacoteca Giuseppe De Nittis Barletta at the highest levels of usability European art.

The exhibition, curated by Emanuela Angiuli Tulliola SPARAGNA and is composed of about eighty paintings, drawings, pastels and graphics Zandomeneghi, De Nitti and Renoir.

The three artists, leaders of the Parisian art scene, each with their own dress code, and in particular periods of activity, revealed in reports that the exhibition highlights, bonds of friendship, impressionistic feeling of neighborhood, of contradictions, originality marking the same exposure and studies that stem from it. While De Nittis

it runs in the 70s and early 80s of the nineteenth century, a road has already been done with highly original, unconventional classifiers of the time, and Renoir Zandomeneneghi live a relationship that is becoming more and more neighboring terms of design and content of representations of the bourgeois world that inspired them.

exhibition in Barletta, can be seen as exceptional works of Zandomeneghi Honeymoon (Fishing on the Seine) (c. 1878) from Palazzo Pitti, the Moulin de la Galette by the Fondazione Enrico Piceni, coffee (1884) by Mondadori collection of Palazzo Te in Mantova, and masterpieces such as Renoir's Le Chapeau épingle (summer hat) (1894) Foundation EG Bührle Zurich, Cagnes Landscape (1905-8) from the Magnani Rocca Foundation, the beautiful Baigneuse (reclining nude) (1902) from the Beyeler Gallery in Basel, and many others, including paintings, pastels and engravings from important public and private collections.

Alongside these are some exemplary works of Giuseppe De Nittis homonymous gallery, such as Landscape, Spring, and Veli sete.Nonostante recent exhibitions in Milan, Rome and dedicated to Zandomeneghi Castiglioncello, which illuminated the dense network of relationships of 'Tuscan artist with friends macchiaiolo environment and the Impressionists presents the work of large areas of shade and still remains at the bottom of a figure poised between the references to culture and Italian tradition and the stylistic innovations introduced by impressionism. Last

italiens de Paris of the three to reach the French capital, where he arrived in June of 1874, Frederick Zandomeneghi like Boldini and De Nitti, there is the creative ideas to develop a personal style, they blend echoes Italian and French influences .

Zand is certainly the Italian artist who has had deeper relationships, sustainable and collaborative with the Impressionist group, participates in a collective group and befriended Degas, Pissarro and Guillaumin, but at the same time as his country, aim to impose their own personal style is not completely resting on the styles of the Impressionist school.

The real comparison is not so Zandomenghi and Renoir, the artist when he joined the group of dessinateurs, led by Degas as opposed to coloristes such as Monet, Renoir, Pissarro.

Instead, especially after 1894, after the contract made with the dealer Durand-Ruel, the Italian artist who comes up against the works of two artists of the gallery, Degas and Renoir, even presenting them as a substitute, a substitute, an equivalent, used by Durand-Ruel to please the market, particularly American.

During this time the two artists have studios nearby, so does the intersection of art is often tight. For example, in the languid nude or careful look at and love for the woman of his movements and his intimate moments of everyday life.

In later years of their production (Zandomeneghi died in 1917, Renoir in '22), both developed a keen interest, unusual among the Impressionists, for painting flowers and still life, particularly fish.

At splendor of gems and soft sensual painting by Renoir, in particular during the nacre, Zandomeneghi responds with its sumptuous palette, characterized by a sombre, hours bright and festive in oils and pastels.

Watching, listening and discussing, I changed and like all others by Pissarro, Degas, Manet to Renoir in my artistic life was an endless succession of developments.

As for technique - very vague word - the one I used is mine, all mine and not borrowed from anyone, points out Zandomeneghi, shady artist and proud, quick to point out his independence of spirit.

To better investigate the relationship artistic De Nitti - Zandomeneghi - Renoir, the exhibition, runs into topics that reveal the rich pictorial suggestions of a season that changes the ideology underlying the cultural vision the world, society, truth.

You will enter the first section, À la campagne, where the parade of the Mediterranean landscapes of the three artists: Spring and Campo De Nittis chariot along with the views of dense vegetation, sparkling colors of Renoir's sunny and Zanda.

The landscape of the countryside comes alive after figures of young girls by playing Renoir putting flowers in their hats, Le Chapeau épingle (summer hat) (1894), to the tenant a bouquet Femme (Woman with a bouquet) and Idylle (I boyfriends) of Zandomeneghi.

Suburbs, parks, gardens reveal now a happy Paris, flowers and floral, like a perennial spring that more than one season is a time of soul, led by the hand by an inner happiness to represent also create still lifes, as in Plate with fish and fish Zandomeneghi (1917) Renoir.

"The flower of the epidermis, the velvet of the flesh" is the second issue dedicated to the nude. De Nittis back here with the pearl and tender Ondina in front of the meat soft and bright Zandomeneghi, closer to Degas with the tub (the tub), and after the bath that Renoir Joris-Karl Huysmans called "the true artist young women, of which he can make, in the joy of the sun, the flower of the epidermis, the velvet of the flesh. "

Copy the

Baigneuse (reclining nude) (1902). Among the many triumphs of moments en plein air painting on which it feeds by the Impressionists onwards, giving the vividness of life lived in a world of figures from the movements luminescence light, almost dancing in the air, the nudes of Renoir speak of beauty triumphant in pink swelling of the breasts, hips, legs. Those

Zand are in the delicacy of nudity revealed in secret rooms.

E De Nitti, in front of the entry model in the study, in 1876 wrote in his notebook: "Without any uncertainty took a standing position, as it did a craft, then the burnous slipped, got up slowly arms with a gesture of a perfect rhythm, clasped her hands on her head and arched his hips: breasts looms over the broad chest. I was dazzled. "

The third section talks about Paris, the night the day, with works by three great artists. We meet here the time of the day shooting in the spontaneous gestures of Awakening, accoudée Femme sur un fauteuil, Bavardage of Zandomeneghi, the denittisiani Bonne, black women, bust of a woman along with engravings by De Nittis and Renoir.

Evenings of French capital spend in the coffee (1884), Moulin de la Galette, in the rituals of tea and in the performances of the night among young ballet dancers in tutus Zandomeneghi.

Women's Renoir and De Nittis Zandomeneghi and it shows in their individuality of models and companions (the beautiful pastel portrait of Mathilde, one of the favorite models of Zanda) and their human and social type (always Zand, The Merchant de fleurs / The flower of Montmartre).

For them, the female body remains at the heart of the vision of life, synonymous with charm, happiness, suggestive promises. Caught in clothing as in its natural beauty, domesticity or the sophisticated elegance, this is the essence of painting, a paradigm where the masterpieces of the exhibition will remain tied up their latest works.

Suggestions Asia Minor and the Byzantine sumptuousness. Turkey is Muslim and Catholic Italy. Orthodox Russia and Protestant Holland, the Levant and the fabulous futuristic Manhattan, in a flurry of stories, images, and miracles. Journey through endless sites and thousands of years: fifteen centuries, three continents, handfuls of cultures. And art, universal and sublime, mysterious and solemn. To outline the enigmatic figure of St. Nicholas, popular in the Greek Church and Latin, able to inspire devotion and appreciation from distant and different peoples. Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor in the first half of the fourth century, was known for his pastoral generosity, balance and determination. Few reports about his life, soon enveloped in an aura of legend and enriched with evocative details and miraculous: the sacred writers confused him even with another saint, Nicholas Sion - lived in the sixth century, in the same area of \u200b\u200bAsia Minor - and contaminate their products. His relics were stolen by some merchants in 1087, were transported to Bari, where he became a patron and where a famous basilica was erected. An important cult, for a rapid expansion in the Mediterranean, grew up around his tomb, from which emanated a miraculous liquid known as "holy myron.

Length: 118 minutes

Production: Italy

Year: 2000

Plot: The light goes out, the music obsessive, the shadows a figure materializes, there is a staircase, there is a door, and splashes of blood. It is the ritual, eternal, Dario Argento, smart and functional this ritual is repeated fifteen times. It starts with three teenage friends, we are in Turin in 1983. The guys are passionate about animal nursery rhymes. It is the starting point for the first murder (of the mother of one of three) and all the other occurring in 2000. The suspect was a dwarf. Every victim dies (ever so chilling) in the name of an animal cut in the card: next to the head, cut off, a dancer dressed as a swan the swan leave a murderess, and so on. Final catharsis. Complicated history with the ritual of death too often. Sure, it works, but a little 'cheap.

Lietta Tornabuoni (La Stampa)
Women tortured to death with her throat screwed by an English horn, beating her with his face crashed against a wall, his head chopped off, drowned in a wash tub. Blood everywhere. A nano writer of detective novels. 1983 murders, too much like a 2000 killing. A murder with a fountain pen, thickened in the temple. Long nails lacquered a dark hand of a girl murdered, torn by violence to bleed up to the fingertips, so that it can not keep any piece of skin for DNA identification. A naughty boy. The pain of the empty houses. An empty coffin. From the street, the police shooting at a guy who gives back to the window on the first floor, and beating their heads. In the new film by Dario Argento, whose title should be written all SLEEPLESS attached as an electronic address, there are beautiful pieces: a empty train that runs through the night, glimpsed from the outside while a female figure on the run, the a stumbling, rambling girls who walk, almost afraid to rush into the darkness, a house in Turin as a box of mystery ocher, and the streets deserted, the abandoned houses in the neighborhoods of the city just more rational and irrational in Italy (the movie was filmed in Turin). Then there are all the tricks of the typical horror film and horror: the shining blades of edged weapons, shots in which the images overlap and intersect, voices from the darkness that invoke the name of the intended victim, songs, enigmatic blowing, horrific noise, promises ("I'll find out who killed your mother, I had to put all my life"). There is an insane final, not a culprit: patience. There are estimated stage actors: Rossella Falk, Gabriele Lavia. There are scenes (the murder of a prostitute, who pretends to be guilty Lavia) almost identical to scenes of Darkness (1983) or Deep Red (1975): the director does not leave the horror to go to the yellow, simply returns to itself. This gives an air SLEEPLESS already seen, old-fashioned, bombastic music and primary Goblin contributes to an impression of obsolescence. In Turin, where in 1983 they had committed a series of atrocious crimes of which he had not found the culprit, the killings begin again. Investigate Paolo Maria Scalondro cop updated electronically. Also investigates Max von Sydow, retired cop who has lost his memory and sleep, who works for reflection (when not sleeping, I think) and realized that He was helped by Stefano Dionisi, son of a victim of 1983: together find a nursery rhyme that the child murderess offers in practice exactly paranoid ... Among the actors were well chosen Roberto Zibetti, seen in Stealing Beauty by Bernardo Bertolucci, Paul and Mary Scalondro, recently seen on TV in District of police of both sides have an eloquence, a character which is enough to reveal their characters.

And now it's my turn: I had already seen Honestly, I tralsciato some details, when I saw I liked even più.Molto looking!

The Difference Between 2nd And Foreign Language

The Sun in the hands

Inaugurated the exhibition in Bari 'Sun in hands "

On show 250 photographs of a trip through the territory of Bari

20/12/2006 - It was inaugurated on Friday December 15 in Bari, the presence of Deputy Prime Minister Massimo D'Alema, the exhibition "The Sun in the Hands" - Bariphotocamera - One click to the economy. Promoted and organized by the Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture in Bari, in partnership with the patronage of the Mediterranean Region of Puglia, and official sponsorship of Fidanza systems, the exhibition, designed by Chicca Maralfa Laera and edited by Cosmo, stems from an ambitious challenge launched by the business community to that of art photography: finding a meeting point, visible, between economy and culture. "The exhibition The sun in the hands - says Louis Farace, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Bari - is our recognition in Bari, in the province, business and territory. It 'an effective and practical to give visibility to people, businesses and places to reward their patience and recognize their talents, in a renewed relationship between economic, culture and creativity "150 Italian and foreign photographers joined the project of the Chamber Bariphotocamera of Commerce of Bari, offering fascinating paths for images that tell companies, sites, industrial areas, centers of excellence, ports, roads, airports, in the territory of Bari and its province, in a perspective and innovative personale.Francesco Cito, Mario Cresci, respectively, with the photographic works "boats, fishermen and fish" and "The sun is in the hands, are the joint winners of the international prize for photography" Bariphotocamera. "Exhibition of 250 photographs selected from the most important work, on a journey through the territory of Bari told and revisited the artistic sensibilities of the authors. New works, created especially by Mario Cresci, Francesco Cito, Cristina Bari, Carmelo Bongiorno, Enrico Bossan, Donato Del Giudice, Davide Monteleone, John Cataldi, Marco Di Stefano, Francesco Giusti, Claudio Gobbi, Ramak Fazel, Massimo Siragusa, Claudio and Simona Sabatino Ongarelli and many altri.Il exhibition winds through the many production realities of a land that has the Sun in their hands "because - says Mario Cresci - in this symbolic idea of \u200b\u200blight, where the photo lives are placed both images of a rural past, unavoidable, and current research: because the sun hath the life of the ancient culture of the same value of the light that illuminates the mind the knowledge and hope of the future. " Mario Cresci with its goal to help you discover the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute, a research center and international training for agriculture, the flagship of the territory of Bari, but also a meeting place between people, where we compare knowledge, techniques and above all different cultures. A world of coexistence and tolerance that wants to be risen to model vita.Francesco Cito however deal one of the oldest professions in the coastal cities: fishing. A report its true, a trip to the tradition preserved by Mimmo fisherman with the wrinkles on the face of fatigue, but also a glimpse of modern fish farming, the new "face" of the sea. "In a changing world only faith remains unchanged," writes Cito, who photographed the ritual of a procession to the sea, Madonna with the stern of the vessels. The realities faced in many other shows, like the trip to the dairy sector, proposed by Carmelo Bongiorno, who tells us the milk in its many forms, light and matter, country and steel industry from the ground, fathers and children related by a white wire that turns, there where your hands will never have fear of being replaced by machines. Land and sea, solidity and fluidity, tradition and innovation, identity and transformation: an inexorable becoming that, thanks to the photo, is told in this exhibition. What is plain for all eyes will be faced by the author's of these great photographers who show places, contexts, situations and people with an emotional charge that compel the viewer to reconsider the social and aesthetic value. Since its debut in Bari, the exhibition will tour galleries Fnac in Italy and abroad.

trap in the tunnel

Original title: Daylight

Director: Rob Cohen

Cast: Sylvester Stallone , Amy Brebbeman, Stan Show, Sage Stallone, Viggo Mortensen , Claire Bloom

Genre: Adventure

Length: 115 minutes

Production: USA

Year: 1996

Plot: An accident blocking the tunnel that connects the island of Manhattan in New York. There is an explosion, thousands of people are stranded. The sea could break and be massacre. But Stallone takes control of the situation and solve everything in his way. Great effects, the usual paradoxes. There who loves them.

Tullio Kezich (Il Corriere della Sera)
There are films (as well as books, articles, television) that seem to copy, and sometimes even a photocopy of a photo-copy. So if you remember The Poseidon Adventure (1972) is like having already seen this latest Daylight - Trap in the tunnel, just released in the U.S., which is based on the same idea: a group of people ran into a disaster looking for a way ' out of the trap in which they are finished. Except that the "Poseidon" was a ship overturned by a giant wave and for the survivors it was to find a way back from the deck of the hold, with all buildings scenic designed and built upside down. The unfortunate Daylight characters are left by an explosion Biocca the Holland Tunnel, the tunnel that connects the island of Manhattan in NewJersey, and do not know how to get fuori.Un flaw of the film is certainly not to make us see where the exact path through which the poor and should arrive to see again the stars ~. A second flaw is the lack of interest of performers gathered around Sylvester Stallone, while nell'agguerrito cast of Poseidon were among others the rampant Gene Hackman and Ernest Borgnine, in addition to winning Sheiley Winters in a memorable underwater swim was worth the whole movie . It moves us much the personal story of Stallone, who removed a painful misunderstanding from the office of chief of emergency services has been reduced to make the taxi driver, and in that capacity, however, the outbreak of the incident in the tunnel rushes to lend a hand while unwelcome and resisted the officer. When he managed to dive in the heart of the disaster, challenging the whirling propellers of ventilation channels, Sly discovers that the foiled Viggo Mortensen has already been the victim of his reckless exhibitionism, and that he can rely on the goodwill of the cop and the black Stan Shaw Amy Brenneman writer in crisis with which it is expected final embrace. Even then, however, the frowning hero decide to change expression. The rest is not surprising, including the death of petty Claire Bloom (as ends the myth of Limelight!), Because we are facing one of those movies where the simple-minded people have written their own destiny in the face. We expect that even in the end it will save the dog for a while 'gender is believed morto.Se to your taste, however, this laborious effort of Rob Cohen will scionina a barrage of explosions, roars, Croff, via flooding and catastrophic. The whole building with incredible realism, we can say with a bit of national pride in the studios of Cinecittà, where taking advantage of excellent professionalism and favorable conditions American economic production has taken steps to build the tunnel to curse.

And now it's up to me: Of course liked : D

Mars Attacks

Regia: Tim Burton

Cast: Rod Steiger , Annette Bening , Glenn Close , Jack Nicholson , Sarah Jessica Parker , Michael J. Fox, Pierce Brosnan , Martin Short, Danny DeVito , Tom Jones, Lukas Haas ,

Jack Black Genre: Comedy

Length: 110 minutes

Production: USA

Year: 1996

Plot: A fleet of flying saucers reached the U.S.. The President is organizing a welcoming committee when there are already those who plan to do business with them. The first impact is devastating enough to the flight of a dove, symbol of peace, to unleash a massacre by the Martians. After the ritual of apology, there is an invitation to Congress where aliens are anxious to eliminate most of Representatives. Now the battle is open. The President is killed but the States will be saved by a boy and listened to records by his grandmother. Tim Burton sets up an amusement park on "aliens in the movie" inspired by a collection of figurines of the fifties at the time banned for being too "violent." Martians and Terrans are grotesque, but the inhabitants of our planet are also bleak. The President of the United States, assigned to Nicholson in a large vein, becomes a symbol of "civilization" as mystifying as not having the courage to even more brutality.

Lietta Tornabuoni (La Stampa)

Archaeologist sentimental of his childhood and childishness of the film, lover and lover of the joke of the past, Tim Burton does with thirty-seven Mars Attacks! a parody of all the parody and satire of the century American society, tender evocation of the first sci-fi spectacular ingenue, a large cinema cannibal film, a film very funny, intelligent and confirms its immaturity perennial quell'insopprimibile link himself with the nostalgic kid or teenager, that stubborn refusal of adulthood to some degree introduced him to Steven Spielberg or Nanni Moretti. Mars is attacking America, and America is not prepared. The U.S. president (Jack Nicholson, Extraordinary) has a myopic trust in the good will and in their own seductive Martian talking as a politician, is carried away by slogans ("It is the most important event since Jesus appeared in Galilee"), thinks especially vain to his image ("I'll talk about all the networks will put the full Cerruti). The American military leaders can be white warmongers (Rod Steiger) or blacks pacifists, however, are incapable, inept. The scientist of State Pierce Brosnan affably fiddles with his pipe without understanding anything. The news is so focused on themselves ("How's my hair look good?") That I could not see what is happening (and Sarah Jessica Parker ends with the well-coiffed head grafted on the body of a dog). Everyone is optimistic, curious and euphoric as before a new show, not even capable of imagining a danger of reality. The Martians arrive, and Martians: ugly green monsters one meter high, huge brain, skeletal and macrocephaly, large eyes with a ball. "We come in peace," proclaimed liars: and they begin to destroy everything and everyone, with their green rays also kill the whole group of politicians of the Congress, destroy the White House, the Casinos of Las Vegas, the Capitol in Washington, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Big Ben in London, set fire to buildings, bringing down the city. They are invincible because no one comes to understand them, are as unpredictable and restless teenagers engaged in evil acts free of charge, are incomprehensible as a band of excited children anarchist. In fact, only two children experienced blacks know to hit video games, only one boy together with his grandmother will be able to defeat them by spreading a highly melodic music that the Martians can not stand: those notes go to their heads, drooping the big brain, kill them. To save America and the world are therefore a teenager and an old, unproductive citizens, and then considered socially Martians, aliens. The style of Mars Attacks! he clings to the old science fiction movies (The Day the Earth, Forbidden Planet) with which the producer and director Tim Burton has grown, certain figures showy, colorful and crude used for advertising of chewing gum that Topps Burton collected in 1962. The setting is not contemporary and even invented a brand new retro vintage timeless. The special effects look expensive, and they want to craft wise, poor (you review Godzilla, a giant robot chases the steely drive). The Earth-Mars war is mystified as the Gulf War. Handsome, witty, funny. Maybe with some time discouraged halfway through the film, as if the director had lost enthusiasm and energy, but with wonderful actors: Jack Nicholson says unrecognizable also part of a boss in Las Vegas, the husband of Annette Bening New Age follower of Eastern philosophies and universal, Lisa Marie, wife of director, plays with an endless blonde wig the only girl on Mars looks more or less land.

Tullio Kezich (Il Corriere della Sera)
"Ak! Ak! Ak. " Versacci screaming incomprehensible, on board a host of flying saucers in one day in May of any year, the little green men on the planet Mars descend en masse on Earth. Faithfully traced on a set of figurines for children published by Topps in 1962, Mars Attacks! (Out of competition at the Berlinale) is one scherzaccio that in his cheek and blatant buffoonery contains a serious talk. On a screenplay by Jonathan Gems of English, the brilliant director Tim Burton puts on a dozen people scattered around the United States, and the characteristic that unites them, President Jack Nicholson entrepreneur trickster in Las Vegas (again Nicholson), by Glenn Close in the guise of the First Lady snarling superfalco General Rod Steiger, Pierce Brosnan to the gullible by the scientist sciocchissima TV journalist Sarah Jessica Parker and so forth, is to continue to want all their petty game: like Danny De Vito, that Martian or not, think of throwing the dice to the casino and basta.Se Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, a film in which Mars Attacks! in some respects recalls, was a libel action against the military and scientists subservient to their evil designs, we do not find messages in one direction. On Earth there are no real villains, only fools. And just a Flaubertian contemplation of stupidity leaves Burton, noting the inability to take appropriate measures in respect of the invaders, which soon reveal nasty: machine-gunned the Congress blew up the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and the Taj Mahal; and finally lead the assault Into the White House. To the best of his ability ironic, Nicholson draws a memorable political satire without the quality stuff to make your ears whistle even some our national counterpart, the scene in which addresses from unwanted visitors a greasy demagogic speech in return for a well deserved as pugnalata.Non centered is the second character sketched by the great actor that does not justify the duplication of device. Like other holdings in the film are superfluous and discolored, including that of De Vito, while the rhythm misfires here and there. But in his bold steps Mars Attacks! recovering from any slip into a bizarre and svariante key to ensuring the veteran Sylvia Sydney unaware of the role and arteriosclerotic saving the Earth only because he loves the old songs like Indian Love Call. To say, between a laugh and another, between a shiver of fear and the other, that humanity can be saved only focusing on short-sighted cunning ingenuity disinterested.

And now it's up to me : Obviously wonderful film, beautifully as the director (any: D) using characters from the past to make a film for future environment. Very nice:)

the next ... ;)
