i was reading yesterday the book TEACHER YES; AUNT, NO:LETTERS TO WHOEVER DARES TEACHINSTITUTRICE - Paulo freire and he said:

" Thinking about the intimate relationship between thinking, reading and writing and the need that we have to live this relationship intensely, I would suggest to anyone who wants to rigorously try it, at least three times a week, to give yourself the task of write something. (...) Nobody writes if they don't write, just as nobody swims if they don't swim. "

With that in mind im writting today... in english. See, I love writting about the world and about certain themes like why should the goverment spend money on education or the way of achieving a democratic way of living (I know this stuff in "boring" okay?) and I thought to myself: i need to get better at writting essays in english... . So here I am.

MASP and the art of being bold

I went to MASP ( Museum of Art of São Paulo) today and it went great, I absolutely loved the Gran Fury exhibition, I saw an exhibition of Masi Mamani / Bartolina Xixa and I realised that to make ART you have to be bold. By seeing this two films two parts of me entered in conflict: the one that is a pure artist and the one that is afraid of what others will say, think, react and do. How many times I saw a artist performing and being fragile in their own way and saw friends of mine, colleagues or strangers laughing, making fun of or/and mistreating them for being "strange"?

By seing this film I've realised that I have to "put my 'cara-tapa' " or "eat my hat " to make art, to make people feel. It is not because it's "strange" (in many quotes) that it is bad, being strange is the way humans are and that is beautiful and what make us humans.

The art of being bold/2

The museum have a "fix" art gallery that is separated from the exhibits, in this area is located a very large group of artists from around the world and it also the place that contains the famous ones like Van gogh, Anita Malfati, Monet and etc.

My main goal when I got there was see the parts that I haven't saw with time in mid 2021/2022. But what happened is that when I got into the first part my goal had changed, this was now seing all of the arts again with other perspective.

I was sedated with all of that art, it was like a medicine I should had taken it before, but then I got reflective (I always am lmao, don't mind me) I saw majority of people skipping the non-realistic or not half-realistic (i think i can call it that) arts

Note: It is important to highlight that people have different forms of appreciating art and im not criticizing the way people do this or the likings of people before saying what i need to say.

also the quantity of people seeing those types of art were abruptly smaller than the ones seeing paintings that were inspired by realism or were made in that time.

I started to notice that the amount of time I was spending in this types of art were small when you compare with the ones that follows another style.

Maybe I must be getting a little boring, i tought to my self, maybe I am thinking a little retrograde but if you want realism without any type of cientific research: take a picture! or smth idk

Ways of expressing art is different to everybody, it was a little hypocrite to think that way but what my revolt was really trying to say is that the society made us glorify only realistic arts in a way that everything that got out of this little metarphorical box was wrong and ugly. Out of the artist "bubble" the majority of artists that are seen like "the next big artist" or like "the most beautiful art of modern history" are realism artist (for non artists of course, one of the biggest artists in the world is a abstract artist). That is the way we're raised and to desconstruct that concept that we were build in is harsh.

For me as an artist i think it is way more difficult to make a piece that contains the feeling you're trying to pass than to make a realist painting, realism is something the art school teaches you, how to transfer your feelings to whoever you see isn't, it is life that does.

A verdadeira arte é só um reflexo dos sentimentos de quem a contempla. (...) Você sente que você está dentro do vazio, você é vazia, tudo aos seus arredores é vazio. (...) Por um momento é como se você pudesse se banhar na sua própria alma, nos seus próprios sentimentos.

True art is just a reflection of the feelings of those who contemplate it. (...) You feel that you are inside the void, you are empty, everything around you is empty. (...) For a moment it's as if you could bathe in your own soul, in your own feelings.

(i can't believe that i just quoted Cellbit)

Paintings that i liked - a little review with all that said

dora longo bahia campo e contracampo

dora long bahia field and counter field

this one made me shout out loud "ca.ra.lho", okay i didn't shout it... but metarphorically i did. This one is the type of art you have to see in real life to feel it.

Guerilla Grils i already knew it and love it but seeing it again made me think about that the "the advantages of being a woman in art" is about cience too

If you reading this right now don't speak portuguese i strongly recomend you to look up for Guerilla Girls

i got tired of writing so i will just write and SOMETIME i edit this

edit 15 june 2024 :

e.fshcute cachoeira from Paulo afonso

this is a painting that while i was passing by a couple where talking about how this painting looks too realistic and it is beautiful , differently from the others around there... that is the kind of thought that i was trying to explain, people tend to think that this kind of realistic style worth more attention than the other kind of styles. I get it that to learn this kind of technic u have to study a lot but no one mention it that to make a cartoon or abstract art you have to study a lot too.

natureza morta de nilson baniwa

victor meirelles

paul cézanne

josé pancetti

henri matize

leonilson agora e as oportunidades

the vangogh, monet and cavalcanti for being classics and not boring ( i have to edit this later to say why i think this is a good way of realism for me)

hieronymus bosch as tentaçoes de

and the 1300's and 1200's paintings that i didnt spected to be there

Anos depois de você me contar a diferença do amor da minha vida e pra minha vida antes de partirmos pela primeira vez eu notei que embora eu não seja o seu (amor) você é e vai ser o amor da minha vida. Agora me encontrei lembrando da vez em que a gente se amou naquele banheiro de bar, jovens e emocionadas, era o que nós éramos e ficamos assim até o final. O nosso amor era um amor louco, descontrolado, intenso, doente, possessivo, livre e jovem. Sim, apesar de concordar que nos não nascemos uma pra outra e que somos diferentes até demais eu não consigo esconder de mim o fato em que a nossa beleza é que você e eu somos quase um milagre da natureza de acontecer. Sim, não somos mais porém a gente ainda existe de outra forma, transformado, libertado, verdadeiro. Posso te amar, posso te amar verdadeiramente e até me arrisco a dizer que você foi uma das pessoas que eu mais amei nessa vida mas eu ainda te amo de outra forma que nenhum texto, palavra ou melodia poderia explicar igual explicava o nosso estranho amor. Eu não te amo, ouso dizer que já havia deixado de te amar e passado a consumir o sentimento de repulsa dentro de mim porém não sei como esse sentimento ficou bonito depois dessa metamorfose em que passamos, passei a notar a beleza que você foi e é sem o sentimento da paixão louca consumindo a minha mente 24/7. Com calma percebo que você ainda que meio ausente e ainda que não vá ser a mesma de antes é o amor da minha vida.
