CONTEMPORARY ART: A RAINY DAY IN A WOOD I MET A FIREFLY

Contemporary art is not only made up of incomprehensible works of art, turn canvasses or absurd performances.
Some of you don’t understand it, some love it, and others are completely uninterested in the topic.

Write your own comment and let me know what you think about it!

BANKSY DOES NEW YORK

Banksy does New York. Banksy is one of the most famous street artists in the world, but maybe also the most famous contemporary living artist.
Everybody knows Banksy, or better, everybody knows his works, because, actually, nothing is known about Banksy, not even his real name.
Yet, each work by Banksy is always followed with great curiosity in the whole wide world, and not only by art lovers.

In October 2013 Banksy planned a one-of-a-kind artistic project, which was described in a documentary which came out in 2014: Banksy does New York.
I saw it and I liked it, and now I will tell you in this post.

GIOVANNI BELLINI. LIFE AND WORKS

Giovanni Bellini. If you were born in a family of famous artists whose relationships with cultural world are intense, your creativity maybe would be inhibited otherwise stimulated in order to do more.
Giovanni Bellini was born and grew up in a family that concerning incentives there weren’t comparison.
From his father Jacopo to his brother Gentile, to his brother-in-law Andrea Mantegna, you can’t say that inspirations lacked in Giovanni’s life, and he tried to assimilate the best from them.

Giovanni Bellini’s artistic career was long and successful.
He constantly updated his style, and absorbed the novelties, but without reneging his point of reference, which was also his starting point: the Venetian painting.
In this post I will retrace the life and the works of Giovanni Bellini.
