*photographed by Anthony Krikl, august, 2010. "por Soleares" It is danced without partner, without music to the sounds of one's soul, foot stomping, finger snapping /if not suffering from arteritis/ and hand clapping. This dance requires shouted or spoken encouragements from those watching; if none are forthcoming it can turn into a "cuadro sin arte" or a "artless painting" mostly compared to "Expressionist art" without soul.
*from the poem, tensl. "a beating heart in a nest of deceit, sustained by American justice" anonymous.
This patriotic painting is inspired by a set titled: "Patriotic paintings" done in 1978; it is best viewed on black
* from a set of several paintings in progress inspired by a posting by she wolf titled: "the lace behind the door" and a poem titled: "windows to the soul" by Carol Wiebe. In the set i am attempting to depict an artist's rental studio that transforms itself into the soul of the artist hiding nothing. A room where only ghosts are given free reign during nights and where the morning sun chases them away and all becomes strangely tranquil.
"Windows to the soul"
Has the truth been told?
Or have the words been carefully chosen
to match
what others expect to hear?
If we were not afraid,
if we could fling open our doors and windows,
throw away the curtains,
and live transparently.
Carol Wiebe, may 22, 2011
p.s. Carol Wiebe and she wolf's art maybe seen on flickr. on their sites
transl.: "Daddy, will it hurt, while he is killing him?" a three year old girl in a row in front of us in the Playas Bull ring, to her daddy, on seeing a matador performing a disatrous kill. These kind of images occur while working on unrelated subjects and may involve incidents from years past. Some times I incorporate them in what I am working on, other times I just catch it and do it separately as above.
*#2 of a new set in progress which is dedicated to all the happy widows who mourn the sour grapes of their youth: in unison they sing: "Fuiste como un guineo podrido, ahora me toca el chile verde, picante y maduro "
André Derain (1880-1954)
La Table de cuisine (1925)
Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris
See his Melon and fruits in this album for comparison.
A noted Fauvist, Derain has been recognized as one of the most influential of French expressionist painters.
*Imagination, to Antonin Artaud, was reality; he considered dreams, thoughts and delusions as no less real than the "outside" world. To him, reality appeared to be a consensus, the same consensus the audience accepts when they enter a theatre to see a play and, for a time, pretend that what they are seeing is real.
Artaud saw suffering as essential to existence and thus rejected all utopias as inevitable dystopia. He denounced the degradation of civilization, yearned for cosmic purification, and called for an ecstatic loss of the self. Hence Jane Goodall considers Artaud to be a modern Gnostic while Ulli Seegers stresses the Hermetic elements in his works.
A very important study on the Artaud work comes from Jacques Derrida. According to the philosopher, as theatrical writer and actor, Artaud is the embodiment of both an aggressive and reparative gesture, which strucks, sounds out, is harsh in a dramatic way and with critical determination as well. Identifying life as art, he was critically focused on the western culture social drama, to point out and denying the double-dealing on which is based the western theatre tradition; he worked on the whirlpool of feelings, lunatic expression, being subjugated to a counter-force which exactly comes out from the gesture. Definitely, the Artaud work gave life to all of what has never been admitted in art, all the torment and the labour into the creator consciousness, which is about the research of the meaning of making a work of art.
p.s. this set is not about good or bad art; it is simply a narrative of what the brain "feels' not sees.
/Deputy camp commandant at Sobibir death camp, Escaped from captivity, last seen living under assumed name in Brazil 1979/
*from a experimental set of mixed media portraits after recipe prescribed by now sadly forgotten artist Jean Dubuffet; he wrote:
"The characteristic property of an inventive style of portrait making is that it bears no resemblance to portraits as they are generally recognized and in consequence - and this all the more so as it is more inventive - that they don't seem like a portrait at all."
*wood hand carving; artist not known; on loan from the collection of unique art objects from my son,Anthony's travels youtu.be/QH2qbTUQCYM

*/ the body of Christ taken from cross by Saint Nicodemus/ #3, of triptyc privately owned. This set is my own version /not copied/ and interpretation of Flamenco Saetas describing the stations of the cross, sang in cante hondo in pure Cale and translated for me by Matador de Toros,Salomon Vargas, Gitanillo.
The transparencies of this beautiful set are slightly out of focus and the colors are a bit washed out, never the less it has been a major breakthrough for me, not having to relay on the painters of antiquity for this famous event. youtu.be/lWlxgB85xJo

*#1 and #2 not posted; not all are suitable for fickr. viewing. "Rayuela, chapter 7, /hopscotch/ are illustrations to Julio Cortazar's book of same title, originally published in Paris in 1963 and later translated into sixteen languages becoming a best seller world wide by 1969. I have read the book at least a dozen times, each time "reading" it differently. I was so taken by Cortazar's book that I did a series of paintings of same title which was shown at the "Winchester gallery in Santa Ana in 1971. My "new" set is a different approach and take on Cortazar's view on obsessions, madness, life as a circus; the nature of sex and most importantly: self knowledge.
For chapter 7, musical interpretation go to: youtu.be/44ULLORHOtw

p.s. if sufficient interest, may self publish a limited edition for flickr. friends.
*this set is inspired by the nameless fine artists of the day who paint tirelessly the murals of the barrios of Los Angeles. Many of their murals are of the scope of Picasso's Duernica. All of their "brush strokes" which I am imitating in this set are done with commercial spray cans rather than brushes. Most amazingly, i am told that some of these modern masterpieces take less than 15 min. to execute.
