Paul Cézanne






One of my favourite artist is the painter Paul Cézanne. Cézanne was a french artist born on 1839, he practices different artistic styles along his life. We can found some romanticism painting at first, then some of impressionism character to goes to the most outstanding of his work that sometimes it is cataloged as post- impressionism. The symbolist lecture, made in hands of Maurice Dennis and Emile Bernard is the one we handle this days. From this lecture we can break down the "cezanian lesson" that is the one that avantgard takes as starting point. But, What is this "cezanian lesson" ? The cezanian lesson begin with the next question: ¿ what is the characteristic language of paint? When Cézanne make this question he is breaking with all history of art´s knew untill his days. The main operation of cezanne in terms of painting it is perspective deconstruction.


He set a precedent indicating that perspective it was not constituent of paint, it was more a social-artistical convention. With this sentences he spend some time, learning about different posibilities of paint, mainly making experiments in pursuit of found the essence of paint. And he found it: bidimensionality. The avant gard that follows Cézanne will take his lesson and his way of management him self with painting in an experimental style. I like Cézanne because he was one of the painters that makes possible the avantgard and the development of arts ´till our days. The images in this post correspondes to one of the main studies of Cézanne, almost all of this paintings recive the name of Mount victoria

































































































































































Why is he considerer the father of the avant gard? Because he dedicated his life to study the painting, and he destroy some of the most important conventions at arts since renaissance. He is classed as being part of the impressionism at late 19th century but if we compare his work with another impressionistic paints we can see the real essence of Cézanne.

Today´s assignment it´s to write about music, and I can´t think in any event bigger or more published this day´s than Lollapalooza. Lollapalooza is an important international music festival that began in 1991 in USA and this year, for the very first time it will be in Chile. The organizer of this festival is Perry Farrel, singer of Jane´s Addiction band. The festival will be at Parque O´higgins this weekend.

Lollapalooza means something unusual or extraordinary, and i think this name represent the essence of the festival because when the festival starts, back in 1991 the bands that participated where considerated "alternative" music like rap, punk and alternative rock. I like the spirit of Lollapalooza because includes impending bands with recognizable bands like Jane´s Adicction or The Killers. In this edition of Lollapalooza we will be able to see on stage chilean musics like Los Bunker or Francisca Valenzuela and i think it is a huge oportunity for them as musicians to be part of this international event. Finally, I believe that this festival it´s opening new doors to music events in santiago. What do you think about this?

hello everyone!

Hello everyone!
My name is Francisca Solar and this is my English blog. Welcome!
First of all I want to tell you a little about my self,
I´m on my fourth year studying theory and history of arts and I want to follow restoration as my main professional line. So you must assume i like arts, you are right about that. I also like sports.This summer I worked at "Atmósfera 4" wich is an scuba diving center and I learn how to dive so now im taking the scuba dive course. That is the reason why almost every weekend I go to the beach, so at this moment my activities are reduce to 2 things: come to classes and diving.
I made this blog for my english class, I hope to improve my writting because i have some grammar problems. I think you will now about me every friday, so i´ll meet you here at the same time next week. bye

i can´t live without google


I am not a big fan of computers or websites, so http://www.google.com/ it´s my window to this huge world of tecnology. I like it because you can search for anything you can imagine and you will find something. Sometimes you may have problems to find what you want to,it´s true, but you can´t say you didn´t find a thing, that´s the magic of google, always taking me to websites that I can barely dream of. For example, last week I was looking for a painting and the next time I was at Ursula´s personal blog. I read a few lines of it and I felt like she was talking about things that I actually understood. The explanation of that it is she was writing about the same things I was searching to make my essay. I felt this coincidence like a sign because it make me understand what i couldn´t understand at the classroom and give me a great grade(than´s Ursula !!!) I check everything at google, so I visit the website everyday and I have to say that almost never dissapoint me. I can´t remember how I met google but im pretty sure that since that day I love it. Finally I have to say that everytime I visit google.com I smile because the logo it´s always related to a special day, or an important event and i think it is funny.

me and my career

I´m studying theory and history of arts and Idon´t know exactly why i´m studying this, but I know I like it so far. I think it might be because I really like to read, and I like arts of course. Since I came in to the university I´ve been asking me that " What do professionals in my area contribute to society?"I am not sure yet but i hope I´ll find the answer in this 3 years i have left.
I think the tools that I, as a professional will need in the future will depend of what area I want to develop, for example this last month i look at me as a restaurateur, so in that case i will have to learn about painting besides history and aesthetics. My favourite subject was texts of aesthetics last semester, now i don´t have any in particular.

Santiago is not Chile



This is my favorite place in Chile.


I have been there so many times, but still surprise me. The name of this beautiful place is "los molles" it is at fourth region next to the sea. The first time I went there I was two years old and I never stop going, because my family owns a place there and everytime we have the oportunity to escape from Santiago we go there. The last time I went there my family and I took a walk to this beautiful place call "el puquen" that is a peace of rock so erosioned that water jump out from the top of the hill. It is astonishing.
Los molles it is one of the best places in chile to dive, has a beautiful beach, it is really small so al the people now each other from years.
Im really sad beacuse the government approve the company Ariztía to put install one of their fabrics next to "los molles" so this amazing place will be contamined in the next few years. What do you think about this? It is the government been conscientiously about our natural resources?
