Pride and Prejudice: on Raphael Perez's Artwork

   

Raphael Perez, born in 1965, studied art at the College of Visual Arts in Beer Sheva, and from 1995 has been living and working in his studio in Tel Aviv. Today Perez plays an important role in actively promoting the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual) art and culture in Tel Aviv, and the internet portal he set up helps artists from the community reach large audiences in Israel and abroad. Hundreds of his artworks are part of private collections in Israel and abroad, and his artworks were shown in several group exhibitions: in Tel Aviv Museum of Art, "Zman Le'Omanut" art gallery, Camera Obscura, The Open House in Jerusalem, Ophir Gallery, The Haifa Forum and other private businesses and galleries.

 

In 2003-4 his paintings and studio appeared in a full-length movie, three student films and two graduation films.

   

Raphael Perez is the first Israeli artist to express his lifestyle as a Gay. His life and the life of the LGBT community are connected and unfold over hundreds of artwork pieces. His art creation is rare and extraordinary by every Israeli and international artistic standard. His sources of inspiration are first and foremost life events intertwined in Jewish and Israeli locality as well as influences and quotes from art history (David Hockney, Matisse). This uniqueness has crossed international borders and has succeeded in moving the LGBT and art communities around the world.

   

This is the first time we meet an Israeli artist who expresses all of his emotions in a previously unknown strength. The subjects of the paintings are the everyday life of couples in everyday places and situations, along with the aspiration to a homosexual relationship and family, equality and public recognition. Perez's works bring forward to the cultural space and to the public discourse the truth about living as LGBT and about relationships, with all of their aspects – casual relationships and sex, the yearning for love, the everyday life and the mundane activities that exist in every romantic relationship – whether by describing two men in an intimate scene in the bathroom, the bedroom or the toilet, a male couple raising a baby or the homosexual version of the Garden of Eden, family dinners, relationship ups and downs, the complexity in sharing a life as well as mundane, everyday life competing with the aspiration to self realization – through Perez's life.

     

Perez's first artworks are personal diaries, which he creates at 14 years of age. He makes sure to hide these diaries, as in them he keeps a personal journal describing his life events in the most genuine way. In these journals he draws thousands of drawings and sketches, next to which he alternately writes and erases his so-called "problematic texts", texts describing his struggle with his sexual orientation. His diaries are filled with obsessive cataloging of details, daily actions, friends and work, as well as repeating themes, such as thoughts, exhibits he has seen, movies, television, books and review of his work.

   

When he is done writing, Perez draws on his diaries. Each layer is done from beginning to end all along the journal. In fact, the work on the diaries never ends.

 

This struggle never ends, and when the emotion is passed on to paper, and it ends its role and becomes meaningless in a way, the visual-graphic side becomes dominant, due to the need to hide the written text, according to Perez. In books and diaries this stands out even more – when he chooses to draw in a style influenced by children's drawings, the characters are cheerful, happy, naïve and do not portray any sexuality, and when he tries drawing as an adult the sketches became more depressed and somber. During these years Perez works with preschool children, teaching them drawing and movement games. Perez says that during this period he completely abandoned the search for a relationship, either with a woman or a man, and working with children has given him existential meaning. This creation continues over 10 years, and Perez creates about 60 books-personal journals in various sizes (notepads, old notebooks, atlases and even old art books).

   

In his early paintings (1998-1999) the transition from relationships with women to relationships with men can be seen, from restraint to emotional outburst in color, lines and composition. Some characters display strong emotional expression. The women are usually drawn in restraint and passiveness, while a happy and loving emotional outburst is expressed in the colors and style of the male paintings.

   

"I fantasized that in a relationship with a woman I could fly in the sky, love, fly. However, I felt I was hiding something; I was choked up, hidden behind a mask, as if there was an internal scream wanting to come out. I was frustrated, I felt threatened…"

   

His first romance with a man in 1999 has drawn out a series of naïve paintings dealing with love and the excitement of performing everyday actions together in the intimate domestic environment.

   

"The excitement from each everyday experience of doing things together and the togetherness was great, so I painted every possible thing I liked doing with him."

   

From the moment the self-oppression and repression stopped, Perez started the process of healing, which was expressed in a burst of artworks, enormous in their size, amount, content and vivid colors – red, pink and white.

   

In 2000 Perez starts painting the huge artworks describing the hangouts of the LGBT community (The Lake, The Pool) and the Tel Avivian balcony paintings describing the masculine world, which, according to him, becomes existent thanks to the painting. Perez has dedicated this year to many series of drawings and paintings of the experience of love, in which he describes his first love for his new partner, and during these months he paints from morning to night. These paintings are the fruit of a long dialogue with David Hockney, and the similarity can be seen both in subjects and in different gestures.

   

In 2001 Perez creates a series of artworks, "Portraits from The Community". Perez describes in large, photorealistic paintings over 20 portraits of active and well-known members of the LGBT community. The emphasis is on the achievements that reflect the community's strong standing in Tel Aviv.

 

As a Tel-Avivian painter, in the past two years Perez has been painting urban landscapes of central locations in his city. Perez wanders around the city and chooses familiar architectural and geographical landmarks, commerce and recreation, and historical sites, and paints them from a homosexual point of view, decorated with the rainbow flag, which provide a sense of belonging to the place. His artworks are characterized by a cheerful joie de vivre and colors, and they also describe encounters and meetings. The touristic nature of his paintings makes them a declaration of Tel Aviv's image as a place where cultural freedom prevails.

 

Perez's Tel Aviv is a city where young families and couples live and fill the streets, the parks, the beach, the houses and the balconies – all the city's spaces. The characters in his paintings are similar, which helps reinforcing the belonging to the LGBT community in Tel Aviv. The collective theme in Perez's artwork interacts with the work of the Israeli artist Yohanan Simon, who dealt with the social aspects of the Kibbutz. Simon, who lived and worked in a Kibbutz, expressed the human model of the Kibbutznik (member of a Kibbutz) and the uniqueness of the Kibbutz members as part of a group where all are equal. Simon's works, and now Perez's, have contributed to the Israeli society what is has been looking for endlessly, which is a sense of identity and belonging.

 

Perez maps his territory and marks his boundaries, and does not forget the historical sites. Unlike other Tel Avivian artists, Perez wishes to present the lives of the residents of the city and the great love in their hearts. By choosing the historical sites in Tel Aviv, he also pays tribute to the artist Nachum Gutman, who loved the city and lived in it his whole life. In his childhood Gutman experienced historical moments (lighting the first oil lamp, first concert, first pavement), and as an adult he recreated the uniqueness of those events while keeping the city's magic.

 

Like Gutman, Perez has also turned the city into an object of love, and it has started adorning itself in rich colors and supplying the energy of a city that wishes to be "the city that never sleeps", combining old and new. Perez meticulously describes the uniqueness and style of the Bauhaus houses and balconies along the modern glass and steel buildings, all from unusual angles in a rectangular format that wishes to imitate the panorama of a diverse city in its centennial celebrations.

The personification of the flower couple paintings by the Israeli painter Raphael Perez

 

Raphael Perez, also known as Rafi Peretz, is an Israeli painter who

 

explores his personal and sexual identity through his flower paintings. He created a series of flower paintings from 1995 to 1998, when he was in his early thirties and still in relationships with women, despite feeling gay. His flower paintings reflect his emotional turmoil and his struggle with his sexual orientation. He painted two flowers, one blooming and one wilting, to represent the contrast and conflict between his heterosexual relationships and his true self. He also painted single flowers or two flowers in their prime, to express his longing for a harmonious relationship that matches his nature. He chose sunflowers, white lilies, and red lilies as symbols of expression, purity, and joy, respectively. He painted from real flowers, using different styles and light to create drama and mood. Perez’s paintings of the flower couples are minimalist and focused on the theme of the complex relationship. He omitted any background or context, leaving only the canvas and the drawing of the flower couples. In some of the paintings, he added a very airy abstract surface with thin oil paints that give an atmosphere of watercolors. He also made drawings of flowers in ink, markers and gouache on paper. Later on, he created large acrylic paintings of flowers and still life. Perez’s flower paintings are not mere illustrations or decorations. They are autobiographical and psychological expressions of his inner state and his struggle with his sexuality. He wanted to reveal his loneliness, distress and concealment through these paintings, and to connect with people who are in a similar situation. He deliberately chose only two flowers and no more to intensify the engagement in the charged and complex relationship. Perez also painted and drew couples of men and women with charged psychological states, as well as states of desire for connection and realization of a heterosexual relationship that did not succeed. He used hyperrealism and expressive styles to convey his frozen and calculated state, as well as his mental stress. He used harsh lighting to create contrast and drama, with one side very bright and the other side darker. Perez was influenced by some of the famous artists who painted flowers, such as Van Gogh, who also used sunflowers as a symbol of expression. He also used white lilies and red lilies to convey freshness, cleanliness, purity, color, joy, movement, eruption, and splendor. Perez also painted some single flowers or two flowers in their prime, to show his aspiration for a future where he will have a harmonious relationship. Today, he is 58 years old and in a happy relationship for 10 years with his partner Assaf Henigsberg. He is surrounded by female friends and soulmates and not conflicted with heterosexual relationships as he used to be. He occasionally paints flowers in pots to symbolize home, stability, and peace. Sometimes I paint flowers in pots, which represent home, stability, and solid ground for me. I don’t paint just a couple of flowers, but pots full of flowers that overflow with life. This means that we also have a supportive network of family, friends, and peers around us. We live in a rich, supportive, and protective world. These paintings are a personification of my psychological state, when I had no words to express my feelings to myself. The painting began In 35 years of my creation (starting in 1998), you can read more about how my art and style evolved over time. Perez’s flower paintings are a unique and extraordinary artistic creation that reveals his personal journey and his sexual identity. His work is honest, expressive, and emotional, as well as beautiful and vibrant.

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.

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 shade, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.

Extras at the Ministry

Every inch of the Ministry of Magic was seen on camera and to give it even more grandeur, the Visual Effects team digitally constructed set extensions. Because of its enormous size, hundreds of extras were needed to fill the Ministry – many more than anticipated, so filmmakers had to improvise.

During Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, instead of hiding his crew, director David Yates put them to work as wizards and witches, milling about in the atrium. One minute, the on-set crew would be hammering and re-painting, the next, costumers were fitting them with long cloaks, white beards and wizard hats.

 

Ministry of Magic Atrium

Built in 2007 for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the Ministry of Magic was one of the largest sets ever constructed for the films, which took nearly twice as long to build as the Great Hall.

For Harry Potter artists, inspiration came from everywhere. These office towers were based on a 19th century Victorian building on Tottenham Court Road, in London's West End. Set decorators also dressed each of the offices with cardboard desks and filing cabinets, because the weight of regular props would have been far too heavy for the tall sets.

To create what he calls 'the Ministry Look' Stuart Craig drew his inspiration from the oldest London Tube stations which are covered in ceramic tile. After months of research, the construction team mimicked that look using more than 30,000 green tiles made of wood.

 

Ministry of Magic Fireplaces

The Ministry of Magic's enormous fireplaces stand at over 30 feet tall and are part of the Floo Network, a magical mode of transport that allows witches and wizards to travel throughout the wizarding world. Although there are only two presented here, the actual Ministry set included 17 of these massive fireplaces.

Located just 20 miles from the heart of London at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the very place where it all began and where all eight of the Harry Potter films were brought to life. The Studio Tour is accessible to everyone and promises to be a truly memorable experience - whether you’re an avid Harry Potter fan, an all-round movie buff or you just want to try something that’s a little bit different.

 

The tour is estimated to take approximately three hours (I was in there for 5 hours!), however, as the tour is mostly self guided, you are free to explore the attraction at your own pace. During this time you will be able to see many of the best-loved sets and exhibits from the films. Unique and precious items from the films will also be on display, alongside some exciting hands-on interactive exhibits that will make you feel like you’re actually there.

 

The magic also continues in the Gift Shop, which is full of exciting souvenirs and official merchandise, designed to create an everlasting memory of your day at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.

 

Hogwarts Castle Model - Get a 360 degree view of the incredible, hand sculpted 1:24 scale construction that features within the Studio Tour. The Hogwarts castle model is the jewel of the Art Department having been built for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It took 86 artists and crew members to construct the first version which was then rebuilt and altered many times over for the next seven films. The work was so extensive that if one was to add all the man hours that have gone into building and reworking the model, it would come to over 74 years. The model was used for aerial photography, and was digitally scanned for CGI scenes.

 

The model, which sits at nearly 50 feet in diameter, has over 2,500 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns and torches and even gave the illusion of students passing through hallways in the films. To show off the lighting to full effect a day-to-night cycle will take place every four minutes so you can experience its full beauty.

 

An amazing amount of detail went into the making of the model: all the doors are hinged, real plants are used for landscaping and miniature birds are housed in the Owlery. To make the model appear even more realistic, artists rebuilt miniature versions of the courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone were shot.

I made these graphics on photoshop ( all except Bert and Ernie!) and created a visual timetable for the children so they know what to expect during their day.

I'll try to tell you the feel of the moment at this sight.

Do you see slow movement of the water, the dancing glare of the sun, do you hear my shoe steps on the grass, my breathing and the beat of my heart, did you see that tiny fish escaping in the hide, and that slow movement of the shades in between the reeds singing the lullaby, the whisper is lost, look, listen to the tiny air bubble burst

Tompkins Square Park is a 10.5-acre public park in the Alphabet City portion of East Village, Manhattan, New York City. The square-shaped park, bounded on the north by East 10th Street, on the east by Avenue B, on the south by East 7th Street, and on the west by Avenue A, is abutted by St. Marks Place to the west. The park opened in 1834 and is named for Daniel D. Tompkins, Vice President of the United States.

 

The first Wigstock festival in 1984 was held in Tompkins Square Park after a group of artists left the Pyramid Club and decided to put on a show in the park. The Wigstock Festival was part of the HOWL Festival in 2003, 2004, and 2005 that took place in Tompkins Square Park

Boamistura en el Mercado de la Cebada 2013 Plaza de La Cebada Madrid

 

El Mercado de la Cebada es uno de los más emblemáticos de la ciudad de Madrid, situado en La Latina, uno de sus barrios más castizos. El primer mercado de La Cebada, realizado en hierro, se inaugura por Alfonso XII en 1875 y se mantiene en pie hasta 1956. Seis años más tarde se inaugura el edificio actual, levantado en estructura de hormigón y fachadas de ladrillo según proyecto de los arquitectos Antonio García de Arangoa, Herrero Palacios y Martinez Cubells. Las obras se ejecutan entre 1959 y 1962.

En 2009 se proyecta su derribo, junto con el de la Instalación deportiva aneja, donde hoy se alza El Campo de Cebada, sin embargo, el mercado resiste y sobrevive, y ha logrado reinventarse gracias al trabajo del colectivo madrileño Boamistura. La nueva fachada destaca por su colorido y formas. Colores, iconos, palabras, y dibujos se plasman en la fachada donde aparecen elementos orgánicos (agua, carne, viento o ladrillo) que según sus autores refuerzan el concepto de optimismo buscando una mayor riqueza visual, más fresca y divertida. El resultado es un "collage" a imagen del mercado y su barrio, en el que las llamativas cúpulas son pieza fundamental de la intervención. La fachada realizada es el mural de arte urbano más grande de España, y uno de los mayores jamás realizado en Europa.

Cada cúpula presenta un tratamiento propio según su "personalidad", pintada de colores distintos -rojo, verde, azul, amarillo, naranja y morado- en recuerdo de los productos y alimentos que se pueden encontrar en el interior del mercado, y servirán de soporte para la palabra "color", escrita en blanco mediante anamorfosis. Esta técnica en perspectiva consiste en utilizar el arte para forzar al observador a un determinado punto de vista desde el cual el elemento cobra una forma proporcionada y clara. En este caso, sólo desde un punto concreto, en una de las cúpulas, se puede leer la palabra "color" mientras que desde el resto se aprecia una composición abstracta de planos blancos sobre las cúpulas de colores. En la decoración se han empleado 2.000 kilos de pintura, 40 rodillos extensibles y unas mil horas de trabajo por parte de un equipo de 15 personas. Ahora el mercado inicia una nueva etapa remozando su fachada con un proyecto que aporta una nueva imagen al exterior y al interior del edificio, donde habrá un espacio abierto al público dedicado a diferentes expresiones del optimismo. La plataforma MyMayorCompany y la Liga de los Optimistas Pragmáticos se encargarán de aportar contenidos y actividades para llenar de optimismo el interior del mercado.

Un OBJETIVO, LA VISIBILIDAD: tres agentes dispuestos a sacar al mercado de su ostracismo unen sus fuerzas: los representantes del mercado, que piden a gritos un cambio pero no tienen los medios; una firma comercial, J&B, que tiene los recursos y ganas de meter la cabeza en el mundo de la cultura y por último Boamistura, un colectivo de artistas urbanos expertos en estas lides y catalizadores del cambio. “Esperamos que esta intervención funcione como un grito del mercado, de su deseo de continuar”. “Cuando nos acercamos por primera vez al mercado para determinar cuál podría ser nuestra intervención allí, reparamos en que las cúpulas era el elemento con más personalidad del edificio, por lo que había que resaltarlo. Una vez arriba nos dimos cuenta de que nos encontrábamos en uno de los lugares más mágicos en los que habíamos estado nunca: un extraño y poco común paisaje de espacios semiesféricos que competía con los tejados y el "skyline" de la ciudad: el Palacio Real, la catedral de la Almudena, San Francisco el Grande... Y, sin embargo, las cúpulas del mercado, en sus tonos óxidos, estaban tan interiorizadas, que nos parecía que habían desaparecido. Recuperarlas era el desafío”.

COLOR. Ese es nuestro siguiente capítulo. Comienza el debate: ¿intervenir una cúpula? ¿dos? ¿tres? “Si confiáis en nosotros, dejadnos trabajar sobre las seis”, plantearon los artistas. Y así estas comenzaron a teñirse cada una de un color: rojo, amarillo, verde... Sin embargo, no toda la superficie se cubría de forma homogénea con la misma tonalidad. En cada una, empezaban a reservarse superficies blancas. ¿La razón? “Para responder a esa pregunta hay que subir a la cúpula azul. Desde allí, en un punto determinado, la mirada aplana todo el paisaje circular y convierte los trazos blancos de las seis cubiertas en una palabra: Color. Se trata de una técnica conocida como anamorfosis muy común en la labor de este colectivo y con el que se sienten muy identificados.

Este es un proyecto que se construye de arriba abajo: “Es como si las cúpulas fueran el germen de un color, que en las alturas se verbaliza y desde allí comienza a resbalar y a desparramarse por las paredes del mercado”. Porque ahí no acaba la intervención de Boamistura: dos de las fachadas del edificio también han sido intervenidas -la principal, dividida en dos paños, y una de las laterales, la que comunica con el Campo de la Cebada, y donde era fundamental que la aportación "mordiera" ese uso tan interesante que los vecinos dan ahora a este entorno-, contagiándose de esos colores de las cubiertas, que a su vez se inspiran en los tonos, los olores, los sabores y la vida que tiene lugar en su interior. Ello ha dado lugar a un mural que cubre una superficie total de 6.000 metros cuadrados, el mayor en España en su género. Y envolviéndolo todo, una frase: “Llena la vida de color”. Otro concepto; OPTIMISMO.

Palau Güell

1885 - 1900

per Antoni Gaudí

(1856-1926)

 

El Palau Güell es un edifici dissenyat per Antoni Gaudí, arquitecte català famós per les seves obres d'estil peculiar, dins del corrent modernista català. El palau està situat en un estret carrer de Barcelona, el Carrer Nou de la Rambla, prop del port. L'edifici fou encarregat a Gaudí per Eusebi Güell, qui sentia una gran admiració per l'arquitecte i va finançar algunes de les seves obres més conegudes. La construcció es portà a terme en el període comprès entre els anys 1885 i 1900.

Essent el carrer tan estret, resulta difícil observar la totalitat de la façana. En canvi, es pot accedir a l'interior a través d'unes magnífiques portes d'arcs parabòlics. L'entrada té unes dimensiones impressionants, pensades per a que els visitants poguessin accedir-hi muntats en els seus cavalls, o bé en els seus carruatges. Per als cavalls existien estables al soterrani, la qual cosa era totalment innovador en aquella època.

Més endins, es troba el rebedor interior, que té una alçada de tres plantes. Aquest espai se sensiblement més petit que l'anterior, encara que Gaudí aconseguí augmentar-lo en la seva percepció visual mitjançant la instal·lació d'un gran nombre de columnes. Aquest rebedor és el nucli central de l'edifici, ja que està envoltat de les principals estàncies del palau. Aquestes també varen ser objecte d'un curós disseny de Gaudí, i tenen uns bells sostres de fusta.

A la teulada hi ha diverses xemeneies, que no foren tractades com elements molestos, sinó que Gaudí els hi conferí un caràcter decoratiu. Amb això, inicià una forma de dissenyar les xemeneies que aniria desenvolupant a les seves obres següents, fins arribar a assolir resultats espectaculars, com és el cas de la Casa Milà

 

La història del palau comença l'any 1885, quan Eusebi Güell, primer comte de Güell, encarrega a Antoni Gaudí un projecte de l'edifici. Després de l'aprovació de les obres per part de l'Ajuntament, el 15 d'octubre del 1886 s'inicia la construcció.

El palau serà una ampliació de la residencia familiar que els Güell posseïen a la pròxima Rambla de Barcelona, unida al nou edifici a través d'un passadís, encara existent. Aquesta és la raó per la qual es bastí en un barri que ja patia una degradació important i no, com hagués estat normal en aquella època, al nou eixample.

Les obres finals hem de creure que s'allargaran fins l'any 1890, malgrat que en la façana principal hi consti la data de 1888. Més endavant,el 1895, es realitzen una sèrie de reformes en el terrat, on s'incorporen noves xemeneies, i en la planta dels dormitoris.

El palau serà residència de la família fins l'any 1936, any en què s'inicia la Guerra Civil. Durant el període de guerra (1936-1939) és confiscat i s'utilitza com a comissaria. Passats aquests anys, el palau ha quedat malmès i el seu estat de conservació no és l'adequat. La seva propietària, Mercè Güell i López (filla d'Eusebi Güell), decideix transferir-lo a una entitat pública.

El 25 de maig de 1945, el Palau Güell és cedit a la Diputació de Barcelona, que passarà a ser la seva propietària i titular fins a l'actualitat.

El 1969 l'Estat espanyol el declara Monument Històricoartístic per la seva singularitat.

L'any 1984, la UNESCO declara el Palau Güell Patrimoni de la Humanitat per la seva contribució i influències en les tècniques i les formes en la construcció moderna del segle XX i el seu remarcable caràcter constructiu.

Entre 2002 i 2011, la Diputació de Barcelona va portar a terme una restauració completa de l'edifici, que actualment és visitable en la seva totalitat.

 

--------------------------

 

The Palau Güell (Catalan pronunciation: [pəˈɫaw ˈɣweʎ], English: Güell Palace) is a mansion in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí for the Catalan industrial tycoon Eusebi Güell.

It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Works of Antoni Gaudí".

The home is centered on a main room for entertaining high society guests. Guests entered the home in horse drawn carriages through the front iron gates, which featured a parabolic arch and intricate patterns of forged iron-work resembling seaweed and in some parts a horsewhip. Animals could be taken down a ramp and kept in the livery stable in the basement where the servants resided, while the guests went up the stairs to the receiving room. The ornate walls and ceilings of the receiving room disguised small viewing windows high on the walls where the owners of the home could view their guests from the upper floor and get a 'sneak peek' before greeting them, in case they needed to adjust their attire accordingly.

The main party room has a high ceiling with small holes near the top where lanterns were hung at night from the outside to give the appearance of a starlit sky.

In 2004, visits by the public were completely suspended due to renovations; some of the stone used in the original construction was weak and has cracked over the years causing structural problems within the building. After extensive restoration works it was open to the public again by April 2011.

 

--------------------------

 

El Palacio Güell (en catalán Palau Güell) es un edificio diseñado por Antoni Gaudí, arquitecto famoso por sus obras de estilo muy peculiar dentro de la corriente denominada modernismo catalán. El palacio está situado en una calle estrecha de Barcelona, el Carrer Nou de la Rambla, cerca del puerto. Fue encargado a Gaudí por Eusebi Güell, quien sentía una gran admiración por el arquitecto y financió varias de sus más conocidas obras. La construcción se realizó entre los años 1886 y 1890.

Gaudí puso todo su empeño en esta obra, ya que era su primer encargo importante. Llegó a idear hasta 25 soluciones distintas para el diseño de la fachada. Para este proyecto contó con la colaboración de Francesc Berenguer, uno de sus más fieles ayudantes.

 

Eusebi Güell tenía una casa en la Rambla de los Capuchinos, colindante con el solar de Nou de la Rambla, que había heredado de su padre Joan Güell i Ferrer; por ello quiso construir una nueva vivienda que conectase por medio de un patio interior con la antigua. Gaudí diseñó el Palacio Güell siguiendo la tradición de las grandes casas señoriales catalanas, como las de la calle Montcada.

El diseño general sigue las líneas de sus creaciones de aquella época, marcada por el estilo oriental aplicado al diseño de sus obras; en este palacio culmina una etapa de predominio de las formas de inspiración árabe, bizantina o mudéjar, con realizaciones como la Casa Vicens, los Pabellones Güell o El Capricho de Comillas. Gaudí contó con la colaboración de diversos artesanos con los que trabajaba habitualmente, como el albañil Agustí Massip, los forjadores Joan Oñós y los hermanos Lluís y Josep Badia, los ebanistas Julià Soley y Eudald Puntí y los marmolistas hermanos Ventura.

 

Siendo la calle tan poco ancha, resulta difícil observar la fachada en su totalidad. Sin embargo, Gaudí diseñó una entrada monumental con unas magníficas puertas de arcos parabólicos y rejas caladas de hierro forjado, ornamentadas con el escudo de Cataluña y un yelmo con un dragón alado, obra de Joan Oñós. El edificio está construido con piedra calcárea de Garraf, donde Güell tenía una finca (Bodegas Güell). La entrada tiene unas dimensiones impresionantes, pensadas para que los visitantes pudiesen acceder a ella montados en sus caballos, o bien en sus carruajes. Para los caballos existían en el sótano establos, lo cual en aquella época era totalmente innovador; se accedía a ellos a través de una ingeniosa rampa de forma helicoidal ideada por Gaudí.

Más hacia dentro, se encuentra el recibidor interior, que tiene una altura de tres plantas. Este espacio es sensiblemente más pequeño que el anterior, aunque Gaudí consiguió aumentarlo en su percepción visual mediante la instalación de un gran número de columnas. Este recibidor es el núcleo central del edificio, ya que está rodeado por las principales estancias del palacio. Destaca por su cubierta con doble cúpula de perfil paraboloide en el interior y cónico en el exterior, solución típica del arte bizantino.

Desde aquí se accede a la escalera noble, que da acceso al resto de estancias del edificio. En la planta principal hay una serie de salones, donde se recibía a los invitados, así como el despacho del conde Güell y otras estancias. Destaca la capilla, decorada con pinturas de los doce apóstoles de Aleix Clapés; el altar tenía una imagen de la Purísima, obra de Joan Flotats, que fue destruida en 1936. Junto a la capilla se sitúa un órgano, obra de Aquilino Amezcua. En el gran salón destacaba asimismo un busto de Joan Güell obra de Rossend Nobas. En el segundo piso se sitúan los dormitorios, decorados con un ciclo relativo a Santa Isabel de Hungría (en homenaje a la esposa de Güell, Isabel López Bru, hija del marqués de Comillas), obra de Alexandre de Riquer; en el tercer piso se encuentran las habitaciones del servicio.

 

En la tribuna de la fachada Gaudí empleó un original sistema de arcos catenáricos y columnas con capiteles hiperboloidales, estilo no empleado ni anterior ni posteriormente a Gaudí. Gaudí diseñó con esmero el interior del palacio, con una suntuosa decoración de estilo mudéjar, donde destacan los techos con artesonados de madera y hierro; en la decoración intervino el también arquitecto Camil Oliveras. Asimismo, Gaudí estudió con eficiencia todas las soluciones técnicas y estructurales del edificio, cuidando al máximo detalle aspectos como la iluminación, la ventilación o el aislamiento acústico del exterior.

 

En el tejado hay varias chimeneas, a las que lejos de tratarlas como elementos molestos, Gaudí les dio carácter decorativo. Con ello inició una forma de diseñar las chimeneas que iría desarrollando en sus siguientes obras, hasta llegar a soluciones espectaculares como en la Casa Milà. En total son 20 chimeneas, de formas geométricas, recubiertas de cerámica de vivos colores. Destaca asimismo la alta aguja en forma de linterna que supone el remate exterior de la cúpula del salón central, hecha igualmente de cerámica y rematada con una veleta de hierro, que contiene la rosa de los vientos, un murciélago y una cruz griega.

Aunque los trabajos en la decoración interior se prolongaron hasta 1890, el edificio fue inaugurado en 1888, coincidiendo con la Exposición Universal celebrada en el parque de la Ciudadela de Barcelona. Con motivo de tal evento visitaron el Palacio Güell personajes como la reina regente María Cristina de Habsburgo, el rey Humberto I de Italia y el presidente de Estados Unidos Grover Cleveland.

 

Eusebi Güell vivió en el palacio hasta 1906, en que se trasladó a la Casa Larrard, en el Parque Güell, donde vivió hasta su fallecimiento en 1918. El Palacio Güell pasó por herencia a Mercè Güell i López, hija del conde. Durante la Guerra Civil Española sirvió como comisaría. En 1944 quiso comprarlo un millonario estadounidense, para llevarlo a su país piedra a piedra, pero afortunadamente lo adquirió en última instancia la Diputación de Barcelona.

En 1952 se instaló en el Palacio Güell la Asociación de Amigos de Gaudí, hasta su traslado en 1968 a la Casa-Museo Gaudí del Parque Güell. Asimismo, en 1954 se estableció en el palacio el Museo del Teatro, hasta su traslado igualmente en 1996. En 1969 el Palacio Güell fue declarado Monumento Histórico-artístico de Interés Nacional, y en 1984 la Unesco lo declaró Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

El Palacio Güell fue restaurado en 1983, a cargo de Carles Buxadé y Joan Margarit.10 Entre 2002 y 2011, la Diputación de Barcelona efectuó una restauración completa del edificio, que actualmente es visitable en su totalidad.

Cartel de las fiestas del Pilar del año 1939, diseñado por Alberto Duce Baquero como reflejo de la España vencedora de la guerra civil terminada oficialmente el 1º de abril de ese año, proclamado "Año de la Victoria" aparentemente simbolizado aquí por una paloma de la paz, que no fue tal.

Predominan los colores del nuevo régimen, destacando el azul intenso del partido único, cuyo símbolo corporativo decora además a la baturra figura que soporta la imagen de la Virgen.

La visita del Caudillo o Jefe del Estado, el señalado día 12 de octubre, día del Pilar, de la Raza, del Descubrimiento, centró el programa de actos.

Nearly 1,000 Students to Participate in WSSU Commencement on May 15

 

WINSTON-SALEM, NC -- Christina Wareâs story is one of the many inspiring testimonials of the nearly 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students from near and afar who are expected to participate in Winston-Salem State Universityâs commencement ceremony on Friday, May 15, at 9:45 a.m., at Bowman Gray Stadium, 1250 South Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive.

  

Academy Award-winning recording artist, activist and actor Common will be the keynote speaker. There are no guest limits or ticket requirements for the ceremony.

  

It is conceivable that Wareâs story of work ethic, undeniable spirit and enthusiasm encapsulates the sentiment of her graduating 2015 classmates.

  

Ware, 43, of Winston-Salem, is quite active on and off campus as a mentor to other students, a member of the non-traditional student organization, the first president of Epsilon Chapter 130 of Tau Sigma National Honor Society at WSSU, a wife and proud mother of two. She is also legally blind. She wants to blaze trails, set examples and raise the bar for others with disabilities.

  

âIn 2007, I lost my eyesight. After a six-month pity party, I decided to continue my education and make a difference for others. Since 2008, I have spent every day of my life proving to society that having a disability does not mean we are weak. I am now an advocate for persons with disabilities,â Ware, a business major, said, "We are not handicapped, we are handy capable!"

  

Ware, who can be described as always pleasant and having an unlimited enthusiasm for life, says every day alive is like Christmas. She demands to be treated like everyone else and has been noted to say, âI may physically fall, but mentally I can get back up and pull a 4.0 semester.â After graduation she wants to start a Kosher/Halal foods business and become active on community boards.

  

The China Connection

 

From the City of Harbin, the capital and largest city of the Heilongjiang province of the People's Republic of China, WSSU Master of Arts in the Teaching of English as a Second Language and Applied Linguistics students Yaowen Xing and Chunling Zhang have found a second home at WSSU and in Winston-Salem. They perhaps have come the farthest distance attend the university.

 

With a population of more than five million people, Harbin is situated in the northeast region of China so close to Russia that only the Songhua River separates the two countries. Nicknamed the Ice City, the average winter temperature is -3.5 °F with annual lows hitting -31.0 °F. Itâs no wonder the students say the warmer weather here in the Piedmont Triad has not been lost in translation with them and itâs one of the things they enjoy.

 

âWe really love the weather in North Carolina, especially the long summer time, since our hometown is so cold with snow for almost 6 months of the year,â Xing, 30, noted. âWe also love the people at WSSU and the faculty who all are nice and it has been a really good experience.â

 

Xing and Zhang, 35, are in America as part of a Chinese education immersion program to help exchange the cultures between China and America. They enjoy working as cultural ambassadors to students in both the cultures. The two came to the U.S. in 2013 and have been teaching at Konnoak Elementary school during the early hours and studying and researching later in the day. âComing to America was a dream for me after learning about it through books, movies and music, and my time here it has been amazing,â Xing said.

 

Zhang, said she didnât know much about WSSU or Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCUâs), but after a short time here she knew WSSU would be was special part of life. âI have met many African- Americans who have been friendly and helpful. I now can say I truly have many black friends,â Zhang said. She and Xing have taken advantage of the HBCU experience. They have been often seen attending evening lectures and presentations, sports events, musical and visual arts events. With their WSSU master degrees they will return to China one day in the future to make an impact on teaching and the quality of education there.

  

The All-In Approach

 

Olivia N. Sedwick, 21, a political science major from Indianapolis, has taken âthe all-in approach" to her WSSU experience. The current WSSU student government president (SGA), honorâs student and champion athlete, chose WSSU over other schools she could have attended.

  

Featured in a USA Today article highlighting the HBCU experience released last June, Sedwick is quoted as saying about WSSU, âI fell in love with the school.â She says, âWe talked about things that I had never had the chance to before coming from a predominantly white high school.â

 

Liking the intellectual and social environment, she was comfortable becoming involved around campus. In her first year, a walk-on athlete for the womenâs track and field team, she was a 2013 CIAA Indoor Womenâs Track and Field All-Conference competitor and the WSSU womenâs shot put record holder until earlier this year, although she never competed in the throws until coming to college. In her second year she served as the sophomore class vice president while also being appointed to serve on many committees throughout the university. In that same year, she was a delegate to the UNC Association of Student Governments (UNCASG), representing WSSU students on a state-wide level. At the end of that year, she became the first African-American female elected senior vice president of UNCASG and served in that capacity for the entirety of her third year while being active as the chief of staff for the WSSU student government association that year also. Toward the end of her term in UNCASG, she decided to run for student body president and has served as the voice of the students for the duration of her last year. With all of her activities, she has maintained a 3.95 GPA throughout her time in college.

 

Sedwick has been selected as a UNC General Administration Presidential Intern, which begins in July. Upon completion of the prestigious one-year appointment, Sedwick plans to attend Howard University School of Law.

 

A Drum Major who will March for a Noble Cause

Willie Davis, 22, a social work major from Fayetteville, N.C., who has led WSSUâs Red Sea of Sound Marching Band as a drum major for his senior year, will now march to lead the charge for helping veterans and their families cope with typical and unique challenges of serving in military. Davis will be one of four Cadets with the distinct honor of being commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant U.S. in the U.S. Army during this yearâs commencement ceremony. Despite that professionally Davis will help vets, military and families with things like dealing with emotions, he said, âI donât think I will be ready for the commissioning part (of commencement) emotionally.â

 

Readiness for Davis is an understatement. The youngest of three siblings, who was age 10 when his father died, Davis has been an A average student throughout life. He was in the top ten of his high school class and the first generation in his family to attend college. At WSSU, besides maintaining high academic achievement and serving in the U.S. Army ROTC, Davis has been active with the WSSU Band, the University Choir, a Campus Ambassador, a mentor to freshmen students, vice president of the WSSU chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity, a Veterans Helping Veterans Heal intern and a member of Galilee Missionary Baptist Church in Winston-Salem.

  

After graduation, Davis is going to graduate school at the University of South Carolina. He plans to complete that program in one year and begin his military duties. As a clinical social worker, his responsibilities may range from clinical counseling, crisis intervention, disaster relief, critical event debriefing, teaching and training, supervision, research, administration, consultation and policy development in various military settings. He wants to specialize in helping military veterans who suffer from different traumas such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), paranoid schizophrenia and other conditions.
