Anne-Christine Roda, 1974 | Hyperrealist painter

Anne-Christine Roda is an French painter🎨.

She defines a highly original interpretation of the portrait:  in her work the painting is entirely subjugated to the portrayal of man’s fragility.

Her paintings, in terms of the choice of pose for her models and the neutral treatment of their backgrounds are as rooted in tradition, as her subjects are sourced unequivocally from our contemporary era.

Her choice of subject speaks directly to our everyday lives.

Yannis Ritsos | The Meaning of Simplicity / Il senso della Semplicità

I hide behind simple things so you’ll find me;

if you don’t find me, you’ll find the things,

you’ll touch what my hand has touched,

Our hand-prints will merge.

Pedro Salinas | Wake up. Day calls you / Svegliati. Il giorno ti chiama..

Wake up. Day calls you

to your life: your duty.

And to live, nothing more.

Root it out of the glum

night and the darkness

that covered your body

for which light waited

on tiptoe in the dawn.

Svegliati. Il giorno ti chiama

alla tua vita: il tuo dovere.

A nient’altro che a vivere.

Strappa ormai alla notte

negatrice e all'ombra

che lo celava, quel corpo

di cui è in attesa, sommessa,

la luce, nell'alba.

Ghiannis Ritsos / Jeffrey T. Larson | Debito autunnale

La casa profuma già di autunno.

E una volta ancora siamo impreparati,

senza pullover né sciarpe. Nuvole inattese

dal mattino oscurano le colline. Dobbiamo sbrigarci

a fare un po’ di provviste, perché tra poco arrivano

i venti sbraitanti. I vapori della cucina

occupano il primo posto nel silenzio del corridoio. A uno a uno

chiudono i locali sul mare. Sul molo bagnato

Rabindranath Tagore / Marc Chagall | Unending Love / Amore senza fine

Marc Chagall🎨 | La branche de gui or Le rêve, 1928

Sembra che ti abbia amato in innumerevoli modi, innumerevoli volte…

nella vita dopo la vita, ripetutamente, sempre.

Il mio cuore incantato ha creato e ricreato la collana delle canzoni,

che hai accettato in dono e hai messo attorno al tuo collo a modo tuo,

nella vita dopo la vita, ripetutamente, sempre.

Ogni qualvolta odo vecchie cronache d’amore, è un’annosa pena,

l’antica storia di trovarci lontani l’uno dall'altro o insieme.

Egon Schiele | The portrait of the silent pale girl, 1910

An effusion of my love, – Yes.

I loved everything. The girl came, -

I found here face;

Her unconsciousness

Her worker’s hands,

I loved everything about

Her.

Egon Schiele | I was first to see the eternal avenues of spring, 1910

I was first to see the eternal avenues of spring, the raging storm

and had to take my leave, -

endlessly of all the locations of life.

in those early days the level lands were around me, at that time

I had already heard and smelled the miracle flowers, the speechless

Alda Merini / Leonora Carrington | Ci sono notti che non accadono mai..

Leonora Carrington🎨 ( British-born Mexican painter, 1917-2011) | Self-portrait with orthopedic brace, 1973

Ci sono notti

che non accadono mai

e tu le cerchi

muovendo le labbra.

Poi t’immagini seduto

al posto degli Dèi.

Pablo Neruda | If you forget me / Se tu mi dimentichi, 1952

Georg Pauli (1855-1935) Aftonrodd

I want you to know

one thing.

You know how this is:

if I look

at the crystal moon, at the red branch

of the slow autumn at my window,

if I touch

near the fire

the impalpable ash

or the wrinkled body of the log,

Pedro Salinas | I look for you! / Al di là della gente ti cerco!

Yes, behind other people

I look for you.

Not in your name if they say it,

not in your image if they paint it.

Behind, behind, beyond.

Paul Signac: "Il divisionismo è un complesso sistema di armonia.."

• "Il divisionismo è un complesso sistema di armonia, un'estetica piuttosto che una tecnica.

Il punto è solo un mezzo.

Dividere è ricercare la potenza e l'armonia del colore, attraverso la rappresentazione della luce colorata mediante elementi puri, ed attraverso l'utilizzo della miscela ottica di questi elementi puri, separati e proporzionati secondo le leggi essenziali del contrasto e della graduazione".

Salvatore Quasimodo | Che breve notte! / What a short night!

Che breve notte, amore. Un raggio

di luce è già sulla tua fronte,

nei tuoi capelli di madonna bizantina:

e dai carrozzoni lungo il fiume

assale antiche radici

la voce dei giovani nomadi, funamboli

di gramo pane e di parole murate nello sdegno.
