Painted in June 1889, it depicts the view from the east-facing window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise, with the addition of an idealized village. What fascinates me about this oil-on-canvas painting is the expressionistic swirls which dominate the upper center portion together with the crescent moon. Regarded as among Van Gogh's finest works, it has been in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City since 1941, and it's one of the most recognized paintings in the history of Western culture. msitgeba https://padlet.com/msitgeba/artworkadvanced/wish/140123896 2016-11-28 10:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/msitgeba/artworkadvanced/wish/140123896 Cristina: THE LIFE TREE, by Yann Arthur-Bertrand https://padlet.com/msitgeba/artworkadvanced/wish/141611573 This is one of my favorite pictures. It was taken in Kenia by the french air photographer Yann Arthur-Bertrand. It’s depicts a symbol of life in the middle of the vast, desolated extensions in the National park of Tsavo East. After a huge number of pachyderms that were escaping from poaching and drought, seriously damaged the vegetation. What impresses me the most, are the paths that were created by animals  that approached this lonely tree to join its leaves or its shadow. This picture is one of the 365 pictures from the book “The Earth from the Air” in which every stunning aerial photograph tells a history about our changing planet.]]> 2016-12-04 18:12:57 UTC https://padlet.com/msitgeba/artworkadvanced/wish/141611573 Nuria: WALK ON THE BEACH, by Joaquim Sorolla. https://padlet.com/msitgeba/artworkadvanced/wish/142957080 This picture is the most beloved for me, because it represents everything spectacular that we have the Mediterranean. In pictorical terms, it is one of the first works of post-impressionism of Sorolla; an oil on canvas painted in 1909. In more personal terms, attracts me sincerely the framing, the use of light ,movement... but, above all the painter mark.  That which differentiates it from the rest. No one like him knew how to treat the white colour mixed with the solar rays in its fullness.  Luckily, much of his pictorical work can be visited in the Museum Sorolla in Madrid.

She started her carrer at the end of the senventies when  the human body was a white canvas ready to experiment with it. Untitled Film Still is a photography series, started at 1977, where the artist shows herself in differents situations  in  a similar way that women where represented on movies of the seventies. This series show how women were pretended to be: feminine, charming, a wife and submissive. Clearly, these pictures criticism at the traditional role of women and the vision that was transmitted by cinema and mass media. ]]> 2016-12-13 14:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/msitgeba/artworkadvanced/wish/143369352 Rafi: Appearing rooms by Jeppe Hein. https://padlet.com/msitgeba/artworkadvanced/wish/143499614 I would dare to say that appearing rooms by the contemporany artist Heppe Hein is one of my favourite  artworks.
This interactive sculpture whose main element is the water has been exposed from 17th July to 30th August in the hot city of Córdoba this summer. Being part, along with others three, the project to support the cultural capitality 2016: 4 cultures + 4 elements.
The work is intended to surprise the viewer and make them question what they are seeing.
The artist wants to elicit an incongruous dialogue between the art and the viewer and to use the humour to broaden the limits of conceptual art.
What I like the most is that this great artist creation is the most refreshing and funny way to enjoy art and it challenges the traditional notion of art of passive viewers.
