Marc Chagall | Flowers and lovers
Wisława Szymborska | Ogni caso / Could have, 1972
Poteva accadere.
Doveva accadere.
È accaduto prima. Dopo.
Più vicino. Più lontano.
È accaduto non a te.
Ti sei salvato perché eri il primo.
Ti sei salvato perché eri l’ultimo.
René Magritte | L'utopie (Utopia), 1945
Painted in June 1945, René Magritte (Belgian surrealist artist, 1898-1967) himself described the scene in L'utopie in his publication, Dix tableaux de Magritte précédes de descriptions, published the following year.
There, he explained that, 'The rose is alone on an island'..
This sense of the solitude of the flower, already emphasised by the span of the distant horizon and the vastness of the ocean, is thus reinforced by Magritte's statement and his own declared intention.
How did the rose reach this island?

Marc Chagall, il Sognatore
Marc Chagall riuscì a comunicare felicità e ottimismo tramite la scelta di colori vivaci e brillanti.
Il mondo di Chagall era colorato, come se fosse visto attraverso la vetrata di una chiesa.
Marc Chagall nasce a Liosno, presso Vitebsk nel 1887.
Dal 1906-1909 studia prima a Vitebsk, all'accademia di Pietroburgo, dove è allievo anche di Léon Bakst.
Nel 1910 si trasferisce a Parigi.
René Magritte | Le Préméditation, 1943
"Before the war, my paintings expressed anxiety", René Magritte explained, "but the experiences of war have taught me that what matters in art is to express charm.
"I live in a very disagreeable world, and my work is meant as a counter-offensive".
Painted during the final months of 1943, Le Préméditation is one of the earliest in a series known as Le Surréalisme en plein soleil (Surrealism in sunshine), created by Belgian Surrealist René Magritte (1898-1967) during the turbulent years of the Second World War in the hope of re-enchanting daily life.
A radiant bouquet of springtime flowers all improbably sprouting from the same plant, Le Préméditation captures a magnificent vision of optimism and hope.

Book sculptures by Jodi Harvey-Brown
- "I have always loved art, and I have always loved to read.
Books pull you into a new world, while art lets you see it.
It made sense to me that these two mediums should come together.
The books that we love to read should be made to come to life.
Characters, that we care so much for, should come out of the pages to show us their stories.
What we see in our imaginations as we read should be there for the world to see.
My book sculptures are my way of making stories come alive" - Jodi Harvey-Brown.

Felix Nussbaum | The Folly Square / La piazza della follia, 1931
"The Folly Square" / "Der tolle Platz" was created in 1931 by German-Jewish surrealist painter Felix Nussbaum (1904-1944).
It is part of the collection of the Berlinische Galerie.
Turbulent goings - on at Pariser Platz in Berlin: young artists unload their paintings outside the Prussian Academy of the Arts while its distinguished professors file through the door.
In the background we see Max Liebermann, the president of the Academy, on the roof of his house right next to the Brandenburg Gate.
He is working on a self-portrait held for him by Victoria, the goddess of victory.
She has torn herself off the Victory Column on the right of the frame, but in mid-flight she loses the laurel wreath which, since Ancient times, has been the mark of distinction for success.

Marc Chagall | Parigi dalla mia finestra, 1913
C'è l'Opéra, il Louvre, L'Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame, la Tour Eiffel, il Panthéon, Place de la Concorde, Saint-GermainDes-Pres. Esplodono in arancioni, verdi, blu, viola, rossi.
Ci volteggiano sopra amanti, animali, madri, fiori, angeli.
Chagall non smise mai di ricordarla, di trasfigurarla nei suoi sogni, di farla orizzonte su cui si mimetizzava tutto il suo immaginario intimo e poetico.
C'è la città con i suoi luoghi simbolici, e c'è il pittore con la sua storia, i suoi miti. Parigi evoca e accoglie al tempo stesso, si fa materia onirica nello sguardo di Chagall.

Marco Tulio, 1966 | Magic realism painter
Born in Medellin, Colombia, self-taught artist, Marco Tulio began his artistic endeavors at a very early age; with both of his parents as artists, Marco has been painting since he was very young.

His father, abstract artist, Guillermo Espinosa instilled in him an appreciation of color but Marco practiced, refined, and has perfected his classically inspired scenes.

Dianna Cotter | Le creazioni con foglie autunnali
Queste meravigliose opere d'arte autunnali compostabili, sono state realizzate interamente con foglie e semi caduti dall'artista Britanica Diana Cotter di Salisbury, Wiltshire.
La Cotter trascorre fino a sette ore, selezionando attentamente centinaia di foglie cadute di colori diversi dal suo giardino per creare splendide immagini di uccelli ed altri animali selvatici.
Aggiunge bacche, muschio e ramoscelli alle basi di argilla da giardino per creare un effetto finale abbagliante e fotografa le sue creazioni stagionali prima che si secchino, prima di metterle nel compost.
