LA FLEUR QUE TU M’AVAIS JETÉE (FLOWER SONG)

"Also Flamenco dance has changed, specially female dancers try to rather showcase their temperament than artistry. The Flamenco guitar that formerly was just featuring the dancers arrived to be a soloistical art form, great virtuoso Paco de Lucia being the pioneer of that development.In the meantime take a look at these photos of dancers.
Mass medias have brought Flamenco to the world stage, but deeply it has always been and will remain an intimate kind of music. You have not listened authentical Flamenco if not in a juerga with a small group of friends, at midnight somewhere in the South of Spain, when there is nothing around but the voice, the guitar and the body of a dancer moving in the moonlight."
"Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimws becomes trasparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child manes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter "repented," changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.That is all I mean about the people in this book. The paint has aged now and I wanted to see what was there for once, what is there for now."
"Batty: Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave."
“Ladies and Gentlemen, by way of introduction, this is a film about trickery, about fraud, about lies. Tell it by the fireside, in a marketplace or in a movie, almost any story is almost certainly some kind of lie.”
Orson Welles
"The important distiction to make when you are talking about the genuine quality of a painting is not so much if it is a real painting or a fake. It is wether if it is a good fake or a bad fake."Clifford Irving"...For instance that the author of "Fake" a book about a faker was himself a faker and the author of a fake."...Orson Welles"Some people even say: 'After I did read the book of Clifford Irving about you I like you even more than before"Elmyr de Hory"... In this cathalog was this Modigliani which is a Modigliani by Elmyr.I would say: "This is a fake Modigliani." and the art gallery owner would say; "Yes. You can see that it is a fake because Modigliani would never have drawn an arm parallel to line of the dress that way and the background is very badly done and it's signature isn't right.In the next gallery I would show this Modigliani in a cathalog and I say "That's a genuine Modigiani and they look at this and say: "Yes, You can see that it is one of the finest Modiglianni. It is the portrait of Mademoiselle de Boutennee and we know it very well, it is reproduced everywhere. After that, I must say, lost my faith in the concept of expertise."Clifford Irving"I don't feel bad for Modigliani. I feel good for me."Elmyr de Hory"People pretend to be shocked, they like to be shocked, you know, it's in their nature, it's humans nature."Elmyr de Hory"All the tales he tells now are things that he built up in his imagination over the years and come to believe is true."Clifford Irving"He has created I think the ability to live, I hesitate to say a criminal life because I don't think of him as a criminal as he doesn't think of himself as a criminal."Now that it's out in the open, the world knows who Elmyr is, he's done. ANd now that Elmyr accept it and says to the world; "Yes, it is me. I am the greatest art forgery of the 20 century, now I think that he can recapture that person honesty."Clifford Irving"I think that Elmyr's problem for years and the reason why he could not succed as a painter of his own work was that the type of life he led prohibited him from having a personal vision.And when an artist has no person vision what can he communicate onto the canvas?"Clifford Irving
Destino DALI & Walt disney from cesar laurent on Vimeo.
Walt Disney was inspired by many artists and used some of the artistic tendencies of the twenty century like German expressionism and surrealism.The Walt Disney Company released in 2003 "Destino" a project Disney started in collaboration with the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali in 1945. After nine months they had to stop because the economy during war times were terrible.
Walt Disney's brother, Roy Disney worked on the project and used fifteen Dali's paintings, the music singed by the Spanish Dora Luz and drafts of the story.
Enjoy.
