Can You Make A Dress Out Of Nylon

30 years already!

Today, April 11, 2007 ...
It has been 30 years since Jacques Prevert is gone!

This "touches everything" will be a landmark in almost all the arts!
(no artist "years Prévert" which has been influenced by him!)

And who remembers a poem "Song ?!
Between the "dunce", "The portrait of a bird", "Inventory", etc. ...
Everyone has dreamed a little or a lot by reading it passionately!

I did not want to miss this date,
without a glance, without a word.
But I am not poet ..
I'll just pictures ...


Jacques Prevert (by Robert Doisneau)


Jacques Prevert (by Robert Doisneau)

Sunny days will not make me forget "leaves"
and the inventory of my life There will always be room for ..
... a raccoon!


As another poet said:
"Long, long, long
After the poets have disappeared
Their songs are still running in the streets"
(Charles Trenet)


And to show how he took himself not seriously
one of his last sentence was:
"When I am gone, they have not finished messing around.
They know me better than myself"

Draw is cheating! An Artist

Go, I invite you to a detour to the land of illusion and impossible!

Probably many of you know this artist, but I can not resist the pleasure to bring back your memories ...

These Maurits Cornelis ESCHER. (1898 - 1972)

It combines perfection of execution and imagination. It
abusing our visual senses and plays with our reason.
He invents new spatial representations and new worlds that exist only in the drawing ....

... For "draw is cheating!"

Let yourself be drawn into her world ...
... and agree that you are abusing your senses!


Relativity (1953)


Waterfall (1961)


Ascensing and descending (detail) (1960)


Belvedere (detail) (1958)


I could not put all his prints here and the selection was difficult.
Also, I strongly advise you (if you like, of course!) To go explore the rest of his work sites referenced.
(In addition you can view them full screen, which is not a luxury to the plethora of detail as some have). Maurits Cornelis ESCHER

was born June 17, 1898 in Leeuwarden, Friesland (NETHERLANDS).
He died at age 73, March 27, 1972, shortly after have completed the masterful woodcut "Snakes".

Wedding Islamic Message

unclassifiable ... The magic trio

nosfell ... A unique artist ...

No need to search box where you can rate this artist ...


nosfell

It does not exist!

Or she should be able to contain Béjart, Peter Henry (hey, I'll have you speak in greater detail a day), Pink Floyd, Mahler, Stravinsky, John Lee Hooker, Led Zeppelin, Buddy Guy, John Cage, Bob Dylan, Shostakovich, Carolyn Carlson, Miles Davis, Kraftwerk, Klaus Nomi, or Magma (for those who knew ...) and I forget!

Not that he has gathered all their talents of course, but because during one of his concerts, all these names will inevitably come to mind.

I had discovered there is a little over a year.

He was opening act for Suzanne Vega at La Cigale and had almost stole the show!
At the exit, everyone was still reeling from the emotion is, or astonishment, or " shock "he had caused.

December 2006: Reconcert, not anywhere!
Invited by the Centre Pompidou, just that ...
again the feeling of having attended a concert of exception!

February 6, 2007 (it was yesterday ...): Concert Bataclan. And always this impression
unique magic of an unforgettable concert!

Well, you understand, I'm in shock ...

I leave the conclusion to a text (my daughter was written after the December 2006 concert at the Centre Pompidou) which I agree completely:

"There are few artists, artists that are known, the first time they are discovered, they are promised a bright future.
Nosfell part thereof, in the end the only ones who can claim the status of Artist with a capital letter. For invent a character, language, country and especially its music and make them live with intensity at each performance, not carry a tune in search of an improbable tube, in the vain hope of attracting groupies in Backstage ...

More than two hours on stage, a string section in extra cellist and bassist Pierre-Lebourgeois impeccable as usual-, a drummer and a saxophonist, a comprehensive re-orchestration of the entire repertoire and a final rock'nroll more.
It is clear that once again, demanding Nosfell was up to the challenge.
Hétéroclite but inevitably composed of curious, the public has Nosfell book at this magic moment the welcome he deserved, namely three reminders and a standing ovation Beaubourg delighted to finally leave but especially for a richer these memories, one of those emotions that only let the big "

Well, you understand, love and emotion was the same last night (hence my enthusiasm!).




So, remember that happening May 23 in Olympia and that is the promise of an evening absolutely "unique" ...
