The monologue - Monomad challenge (ENG-ESP)
Hello hivers. Armando Reverón (1889-1954) was one of the most prominent visual artists in Venezuela, known as "the painter of light", he was a precursor of the povera art, and a pioneer in artistic expressions such as happenings and artistic assemblages, among others. He developed his work between Paris, Barcelona and Madrid and is considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century in America.
Como todo artista plástico que se respete, Reverón, no solamente era conocido por su gran talento sino también por su excéntrica y volátil personalidad, la cual era una mezcla de genio deprimido y acosado por constantes ataques de psicosis y ermitaño tierno y primitivo. Su obra se extiende a más de 450 pinturas, 150 dibujos y una gran cantidad de otros objetos, destacando sus famosas muñecas de trapo de tamaño real y con detalles muy particulares.
Like any self-respecting plastic artist, Reverón was not only known for his great talent but also for his eccentric and volatile personality, which was a mixture of a depressed genius plagued by constant attacks of psychosis and a tender and primitive hermit. His work extends to more than 450 paintings, 150 drawings and a large number of other objects, highlighting his famous life-size rag dolls with very particular details.
Estas fotos corresponden a un monólogo sobre Armando Reverón que se presentó como acto de apertura a una exposición muy interesante de muñecas de trapo a la que asistí el año pasado Y la cual pueden ver aquí.
These photos correspond to a monologue about Armando Reverón that was presented as the opening act to a very interesting exhibition of rag dolls that I attended last year And which you can see here.
No recuerdo el nombre de este actor, sin embargo me gustó mucho la intensidad y la pasión con la que interpretó al gran maestro de la luz. Al buscar entre mis archivos fotográficos pensé que sería un buena idea pasar estas fotos a blanco y negro tomando en cuenta que para Reverón, la luz era su mayor inspiración y su más anhelado objetivo, y creo que este formato ayuda mucho a resaltar la luz en las imágenes.
I don't remember the name of this actor, however I really liked the intensity and passion with which he played the great master of light. When searching through my photographic archives I thought it would be a good idea to convert these photos to black and white taking into account that for Reveron, light was his greatest inspiration and his most desired objective, and I think that this format helps a lot to highlight the light in the images.
