Parassu, João - Fotografia

















........................................................................................................
João Parassu vive Barretos, São Paulo, Brasil. O artista chamou "Folhas de Bananeiras" à série de fotografias abstractas que apresentamos. "...Para construir cada uma destas fotos, Parassu plantou e cuida pessoalmente de um bananal no quintal de sua casa, e empreende inúmeras "viagens" captando com sua lente, a solene exclusividade de cada milímetro da natureza em estado de exuberância, destacando a luz, cores texturas angulos e silhuetas..." diz a crítica de arte brasileira Mussa Calil. O artista, sobre o seu trabalho, diz: "Uso a fotografia para construir o que minha imaginação cria. Todas as fotos deste portfólio são originais, o único tratamento dado é em nitidez, brilho e contraste. "

............................................................................
O estilo romântico e alegórico é típico de Marc Chagall. As suas obras são visões místicas e sonhadoras, repletas de símbolos e referências à educação judaica tradicional que Chagall recebeu na Rússia. A natureza da grande maioria das suas obras é indefenível, enigmática, remetendo para o mundo dos sonhos e do subconsciente. Tendo vivido em Paris entre 1910 e 1914, foi inicialmente inflenciado pelo Cubismo, mas manteve um estilo único, desafiando a categorização da sua obra em qualquer movimento artístico. Foi um artista incrivelmente prolífero e talentoso, produzindo vitrais, mosaicos, tapecarias e cenários, além sa sua extensa obra de pintura. Marc Chagall nasceu em Vitebsk (RUS) em 1887 e morreu em Saint Paul de Vence (FR) em 1985.
................................................................................
Marc Chagall was born July 7, 1887, in Vitebsk, Russia. From 1907 to 1910, he studied in Saint Petersburg, at the Imperial Society for the Protection of the Arts and later with Léon Bakst. In 1910, he moved to Paris, where he associated with Guillaume Apollinaire and Robert Delaunay and encountered Fauvism [more] and Cubism [more]. He participated in the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d’Automne in 1912. His first solo show was held in 1914 at Der Sturm gallery in Berlin. Chagall visited Russia in 1914, and was prevented from returning to Paris by the outbreak of war. He settled in Vitebsk, where he was appointed Commissar for Art in 1918. He founded the Vitebsk Popular Art School and directed it until disagreements with the Suprematists resulted in his resignation in 1920. He moved to Moscow and executed his first stage designs for the State Jewish Chamber Theater there. After a sojourn in Berlin, Chagall returned to Paris in 1923 and met Ambroise Vollard. His first retrospective took place in 1924 at the Galerie Barbazanges-Hodebert, Paris. During the 1930s, he traveled to Palestine, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, and Italy. In 1933, the Kunsthalle Basel held a major retrospective of his work. During World War II, Chagall fled to the United States. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, gave him a retrospective in 1946. He settled permanently in France in 1948 and exhibited in Paris, Amsterdam, and London. During 1951, he visited Israel and executed his first sculptures. The following year, the artist traveled in Greece and Italy. During the 1960s, Chagall continued to travel widely, often in association with large-scale commissions he received. Among these were windows for the synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, installed in 1962; a ceiling for the Paris Opéra, installed in 1964; a window for the United Nations building, New York, installed in 1964; murals for the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, installed in 1967; and windows for the cathedral in Metz, France, installed in 1968. An exhibition of the artist’s work from 1967 to 1977 was held at the Musée du Louvre, Paris, in 1977–78, and a major retrospective was held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1985. Chagall died March 28, 1985, in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France.

Filha de fazendeiros de café da aristocracia rural paulista, Tarsila iniciou a sua aprendizagem de pintura em 1917, sob orientaçâo do pintor académico Pedro Alexandrino. Em 1920, mudou-se para Paris a fim de estudar na Academie Julian e conheceu as obras de dadaístas, futuristas e cubistas. De passagem pelo Brasil em 1922, aproximou-se do grupo modernista que se formara na capital paulista, do qual já faziam parte Anita Malfatti, Mário de Andrade e Oswald de Andrade (com quem Tarsila se casaria em 1926). No entanto, foi somente após seu retorno à Europa, em 1923, que chegou às primeiras soluções realmente originais em sua pintura, combinando as técnicas do pós-cubismo aprendidas com Andrë Lhote, Albert Gleizes e Fernand Léger, a uma temática e um colorido profundamente identificados com a cultura brasileira.
