Preferisco il cinema.
Preferisco i gatti.
Preferisco le querce sul fiume Warta.
Preferisco Dickens a Dostoevskij.
Preferisco me che vuol bene alla gente, a me che ama l’umanità.

Jacobus Hendrik Pierneef | Landscape painter
Jacobus Hendrik (Henk) Pierneef (usually referred to as Pierneef) (Pretoria, 1886–1957), was a South African landscape artist (from Dutch parents), generally considered to be one of the best of the old South African masters.
His distinctive style is widely recognised and his work was greatly influenced by the South African landscape.
Most of his landscapes were of the South African highveld, which provided a lifelong source of inspiration for him. Pierneef's style was to reduce and simplify the landscape to geometric structures, using flat planes, lines and colour to present the harmony and order in nature.
Joseph von Eichendorff | Notte di luna / Moonlit night, 1837
Era come se il cielo avesse
baciato silenzioso la terra,
e questa in uno scintillio di fiori
dovesse ora sognarlo.

Charles Bukowski | Fuori posto / Displaced
Brucia all’inferno
questa parte di me che non si trova bene in nessun posto
mentre le altre persone trovano cose
da fare
nel tempo che hanno
posti dove andare
insieme
cose da
dirsi.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir | Bouquet of Roses, 1879
In the summer of 1879, the banker and diplomat Paul Berard invited Pierre-Auguste Renoir to his country house in Normandy.
During his visit, the artist painted portraits of Berard’s children and made several panel decorations, this one for a door in the library.

Saitō Kazu / 斉藤 和, 1960
Born in Kyoto, Japan, Kazu Saitō graduated from Kyoto City Arts University in 1987. He explored Nihonga all the way.
In addition to retaining the fineness of texture, color, form and space in Japanese art, he transforms his aesthetic experiences and the feelings of all things in life into a poetic conception and charming aesthetics with his unique new contemporary image.
"I want to look deeply at the essence of impression, connect the moving tradition to the future, and convey the essence of that impression in a simple visual language".
Pablo Neruda | Se saprai.. / If you will know..
Se saprai starmi vicino,
e potremo essere diversi,
se il sole illuminerà entrambi
senza che le nostre ombre si sovrappongano,
se riusciremo ad essere "noi" in mezzo al mondo
e insieme al mondo, piangere, ridere, vivere.
