breakfast at brera

i'm not exactly a fan of christian iconography, so medieval art was something really hard to me to enjoy. but this was just one more case of prejudice about something ignored, and now i'm at peace with ten centuries of art history thanks to my profusion of leisure time (but i should confess that lady marchmain can still not be proud of my religious views). after spending hours feeling that the end would never come of this enormous collection of medieval art owned by the pinacoteca di brera in milano, i have found some details of these paintings, i would like to bring it up






















is it a gay couple behind baby jesus? 
-giovanni bellini - madonna col bambino-




















this is a huge painting and behind the main scene it is happening so many more interesting things, like a dog barking at a dromedary, which refuses itself to move (?)   
-gentile and giovanni bellini - la predica di s. marco in una piazza di alessandria-

-giovanni mansueti - s. marco battezza aniano-

-veronese - ultima cena-






pretty doggies killing a cat 
-veronese - cena in casa di simone-























pretty doggy III (well, i don't have my dogs with me, right?! and i like dogs!!!!)
-bonifacio veronese - mosè consegnato alla figlia del faraone-























how is this guy still alive? if i were alive with a dagger on my chest, i would probably be doing something more interesting than praying... 
-carlo crivelli - trittico di san domenico-

dialogue of hands



'helio and i are like a glove. he is the outside of the glove, very much linked to the exterior world. i am the inside. and the two of us exist from the moment there is a hand which puts on the glove' - lygia clark about helio oiticica

his animal grace

















































'i mopped the floor with my hair…the reason i'm so interested in taking my body to those extreme places is that that’s a place where i learn, where i feel most in my body. i’m really interested in the repetition, the discipline, and what happens to me psychologically when i put my body to that extreme place' janine antoni about 'loving care' in 1992

october 18, 1977




don't quite agree with bad judgments about gerhard richter motive choices, i see him as a tireless seeker for technics and themes, and maybe this can not put all his work beautifully in tune in an exhibition, but why would i define one style or something to be stuck on? just to be consisted on the viewers mind, being easy recognizable? his retrospective exhibition on tate might have not made sense for the ones who likes sorted ends. but this is so much more tangible, being able to rebuilt yourself how many times you feel like. coherency is for mathematicians
