A full interview with the Israeli painter Raphael Perez (in Hebrew Rafi Peretz) about the ideas behind the naive painting, resume, personal biography and CV
Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about your work process as a naive painter?
Answer: I choose the most iconic and famous buildings in every city and town that are architecturally interesting and have a special shape and place the iconic buildings on boulevards full of trees, bushes, vegetation, flowers.
Question: How do you give depth in your naive paintings?
Answer: To give depth to the painting, I build the painting with layers of vegetation, after those low famous buildings, followed by a tall avenue of trees, and behind them towers and skyscrapers, in the sky I sometimes put innocent signs of balloons, kites.
A recurring motif in some of my paintings is the figure of the painter who is in the center of the boulevard and paints the entire scene unfolding in front of him, also there are two kindergarten teachers who are walking with the kindergarten children with the state flags that I paint, and loving couples hugging and kissing and family paintings of mother, father and child walking in harmony on the boulevard.
Question: Raphael Perez What characterizes your naive painting?
Answer: Most naive paintings have the same characteristics
(Definition as it appears in Wikipedia)
• Tells a simple story to absorb from everyday life, usually with humans.
• The representation of the painter's idealization to reality - the mapping of reality.
• Failure to maintain perspective - especially details even in distant details.
• Extensive use of repeating patterns - many details.
• Warm and bright colors.
• Sometimes the emphasis is on outlines.
• Most of the characters are flat, lack volume
• No interest in texture, expression, correct proportions
• No interest in anatomy.
• There is not much use of light and shadow, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.
I find these definitions to be valid for all my naive paintings
Question: Raphael Perez Why do you mainly choose the city of Tel Aviv?
Answer: I was born in Jerusalem, the capital city which I love very much and also paint,
I love the special Bauhaus buildings in Tel Aviv, the ornamental buildings that were built a century ago in the 1920s and 1930s, the beautiful boulevards, towers and modern skyscrapers give you the feeling of the hustle and bustle of a large metropolis and there are quite a few low and tall buildings that are architecturally fascinating in their form the special one
Also, the move to Tel Aviv, which is the capital of culture, freedom, and secularism, allowed me to live my life as I chose, to live in a relationship with a man, Jerusalem, which is a traditional city, it is more complicated to live a homosexual life, also, the art world takes place mainly in the city of Tel Aviv, and it is possible that from a professional point of view, this allows I can support myself better in Tel Aviv than in any other city in Israel.
Question: raphael perez are the paintings of the city of Tel Aviv different from the paintings of the city of Jerusalem
Answer: Most of the paintings of Jerusalem have an emphasis on the color yellow, gold, the color of the old city walls, the subjects I painted in Jerusalem are mainly a type of idealization of a peaceful life between Jews and Arabs and paintings that deal with the Jewish religious world, a number of paintings depict all shades of the currents of Judaism of today
In contrast, the Tel Aviv paintings are more colorful, with skyscrapers, the sea, balloons and more secular motifs
Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about which buildings and their architects you usually choose in your city paintings
Answer: My favorite buildings are those that have a special shape that anyone can recognize and are the symbols of the city and you will give several examples:
In the city of Tel Aviv, my favorite buildings are: the opera building with its unusual geometric shape, the Yisrotel tower with its special head, the Hail Bo Shalom tower that for years was the symbol of the tallest building in Tel Aviv, the Levin house that looks like a Japanese pagoda, the burgundy-colored Nordeau hotel with the special dome at the end of the building, A pair of Alon towers with the special structure of the sea, Bauhaus buildings typical of Tel Aviv with the special balconies and the special staircase, the Yaakov Agam fountain in Dizengoff square appears in a large part of the paintings, many towers that are in the stock exchange complex, the Aviv towers and other tall buildings on Ayalon, in some of the paintings I took plans An outline of future buildings that need to be built in the city and I drew them even before they were built in reality,
In the paintings of Jerusalem, I mainly chose the area of the Old City and East Jerusalem, a painting of the walls of the Old City, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the El Akchea Mosque, the Tower of David, most of the famous churches in the city, the right hand of Moses, in most of the paintings the Jew is wearing a blue shirt with a red male cord I was in the youth movement and the Arab with a galabia, and in the paintings of the religious public then, Jews with black suits and white shirts, tallitas, kippahs, special hats, synagogues and more
I also created three paintings of the city of Haifa and one painting of Safed
In the Haifa paintings I drew the university, the Technion, the famous Egged Tower, the Sail Tower, well-known hotels, of course the Baha'i Gardens and the Baha'i Temple, Haifa Port and the boats and other famous buildings in the city

O senador Ruben Figueiró (PSDB-MS) questionou o ministro da Integração Nacional, Francisco José Coelho Teixeira, sobre as ações da pasta para promover o desassoreamento de importantes rios da região Centro-Oeste, como o Taquari e o Paraguai.
"Não vejo outra forma que não seja o estancamento do processo erosivo e a revitalização dos rios", respondeu o ministro ao afirmar que o problema do assoreamento é o preço que a sociedade paga pela exploração equivocada dos recursos ambientais. "Já estamos pagando alto na bacia do São Francisco. A recuperação envolve cifras absurdas", comentou.
O ministro participou de audiência pública nesta quarta-feira (20), sobre o Plano Nacional de Segurança Hídrica na Comissão de Serviços de Infraestrutura (CI).
Francisco Teixeira disse que a ideia é visitar, em parceria com a Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA), todas as unidades da federação para tratar da infraestrutura hídrica, respeitando as especificidades de cada região.
Nordeste
Durante a audiência, ele focou mais sua explanação sobre a atual seca do Nordeste, uma das maiores da história, que pode se prolongar para o próximo ano. Ele informou que o ministério está trabalhando um plano emergencial com a ANA. No entanto, o Plano Nacional de Segurança Hídrica, também desenvolvido em parceria com a agência, pretende ser realizado em médio e longo prazos.
"O objetivo desse plano é buscar a segurança hídrica. Hoje 85% da população brasileira é urbana. Quando o país se urbaniza, você precisa de uma infraestrutura hídrica mais complexa para atender a esses centros urbanos", afirmou.
Entre as obras envolvidas no plano, está a construção de barragens, de sistemas adutores, de canais, de eixos de integração e de sistemas de controle de cheias.

The Postcard
A postally unused Oilette Teddy Bear Series postcard that was published by Raphael Tuck & Sons, Art Publishers to Their Majesties the King and Queen.
The card, which has a divided back, was printed in Bavaria.
Raphael Tuck
Raphael Tuck and his wife started their photography business in 1866 in London. Their store sold pictures, greeting cards, and in time, postcards.
Their success came from the sale of postcards during the late 1890’s and early 1900’s. In the early 1900’s the firm conducted postcard competitions for collectors of Tuck postcards. These competitions offered cash prizes, and they were very popular.
The winner of one of these competitions had a collection consisting of over twenty-five thousand cards.
Three of Tuck’s four sons participated in the business. The company was devastated by German bombing during World War II. In 1959 the company merged with two other printing companies.

OK, my lovely flower friends, this is a rubbish shot, but can anyone tell me what it is? And is it a 'flower' or a weed?
A big question mark made by stacking various jigsaw puzzle pieces and then making them take that specific shape. The pieces are scrambled and on both sides against a white background.

This is the first time that I've seen one of these beauties. Maybe it's going to be a good year for butterflies.
The blossom looks like blackthorn, but I'm not entirely sure about that. The name "Question Mark" comes from a distinctive white mark on the underside of the wing that looks absolutely nothing like a question mark imho.
Sorry for always showing the same girl. I wish I could take pictures of other ones but I think I am to shy to ask some beauty strangers. Do you have any idea how I could change my shyness? :) It would be great ♥
Ok guys, I got two questions:
-1. Where can I order Lego Call of Duty Ghosts mask minifig head?
-2. Where can I order cheap, decent quality brickarms?
BTW
If you can only answer one, it would help a ton. You don't have to answer both.
QUESTION QUI DÉRANGE N° 3 :
Dans une société dont les valeurs sont basées sur la seule notion de profit, n'est-il pas sage de faire piétiner par un rhinocéros l'enfant qu'on élève, avant qu'il ne nous coûte de l'argent ?
