Ma Jolie and Man with Guitar


*“Ma Jolie” means My love. As we know Picasso is a very famous artist for this modern era and he still famous in women and a lot of Picasso’s works always refer to women. We can assume that his love passion is an energy to lift him up. Like this painting, Ma Jolie, has some parts of woman body which are seperated from each other and we can find some element that can be one part of guitar too. Not only human parts and guitar’s neck, Picasso also used some element into this painting. For example, a wine glass, text, and also the work’s title but the boundaries are unclear. Ma Jolie has a lot of lines that seem like crystalized shape and its color is monochrome which looks like metalic element more than ordinary painting. Because of the way he used color, this painting looks like three-dimension by it own color, the metalic color.

“Man with a Guitar” from Georges Braques. This painting looks very similar with “Ma Jolie” because it used the same way to produce his painting. A lot of lines that seem like crystalized shape used to separate the boundaries of human parts. Metalic color also appear in this painting. Same stlye and same age, then we can say that this two artists inspired each other. But one different thing between two painting is in this Braque’s painting, it’s clearer than Picasso’s painting. We can figure out there has one man who hold his guitar standing in this frame. We can realize where his head, his body, his hand, and also his guitar are.This is one big different point from Ma Jolie.
These two paintings seem to be difficult to understand the meaning of their own because these two magnificant artists of this modern era – Picasso and Braque – want their audience to find the meaning by themselves. This looks like the door to open in a new dimension for history of art.

the white and the black


*Amedeo Modigliani and Pablo Picasso, two magnificant artist who influenced modern arts in nowadays, have similar and unsimilar side between each other. One used the “love” to create his works. Another one used the “passion” to fulfill his career life. Both of them were borned in the same period of time but in every competition, the winner has only one. It seemed look like Picasso always received the glory and the wealthness. In another side, Modigliani received some important thing that Picasso hasn’t received, It is “love”.

Compare and contrast in their paintings, people already know that Picasso is the inventor of “Cubism”. But in the Modigliani’s style, he used a smoothness of shape and line more than Picasso. Even both of their works look like an animated picture more than real objects. Modigliani prefered to distort human shapes. For example, by extend their necks like African folk arts sculptor. His painting still used a smooth line, different to Picasso who always used sharp and brutal lines. Modigliani always bended his object to become the shape that he wanted. Most of his paintings, which always be a portrait of human espeacially his close friend and his lover, always have a small empty room (or space) in its frame. Unlike Modigliani, Picasso used a lot of cubic shape to adapt his real objects.

In their real life, Modigliani spent all of his life to become an artist who desired to change this world!

Picasso spent all of his life time to be an unique artist who already changed arts’ stream since he’s still breathing!

Unfortunately, Modigliani died before he can declare his chance…


Anyway, their paintings became significant effect to open new world of modern amusement arts style.

Laylah Ali


*“Laylah Ali is one of magnificant artist of this modern era. She was born in Buffalo, New York in 1968 and graduated from Williams College and Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri (MFA). One outstanding thing from her style always reflect the social problem in nowadays espeacially in race and war problems. Ali also used an easy figures to fulfill her idea and maybe we can see it look like cartoon (like one of her famous work - green head) which get some influenced from hieroglyphics and American folk-art. The vision of her about race problem always show some gimmic in her works. Ali used many months to create her one painting because she used her thinking process to think about color and the brushes that she should use. When she needed to do her works, she locked herself in a studio room to participate in her work. And Ali always think as much as she can.

Ali’s former work, green head, had the same color in head and skin but she used a different kinds of dress and masks instead. She always think about the meaning of what this color means is. For the new work, she used varies color of face and had a lot of portraits more than she had ever used. Ali always took some ordinary things to used in her paintings. Like dodgeballs and belts because she thought these thing had some meanings behind what we have seen. For example, belts can be some kind of power like we have seen in Superheroes.

Most of all, Ali felt that her paintings were some kind of language especially hieroglyphics because they are visual language. As an alphabet, her work can communicate with people to show art is no limited, it is worldwide language. At least, it does not have race and war problems.”

horrible...

*This is my horrible thing

Today I went to Barnes & Nobles to find some books to read but an unexpected thing happened with me. When I was looking in new novels corner, I found one black man stared at me! First, I think it's nothing speacial. Then, I moved inside this bookstore and he followed me (I forgot to tell you that time was 19.30 and it located near my apartment). I tried to think that nothing speacial but he still followed me. I tried to get out of this situation and he's still behind me. I tried to call my friends but noone recieved my call. T^T I was very frighten in that time. I thought today I must face with bad situation! Then I moved in front of this store and talked with security who is a black guy too (and that man stopped in front of me). I told and asked this guard "What should I do?". He told me "I don't know". (I hated these people)... But it's work!!! That man scared and run to behind this store. Then, I ran and ran and ran to my home.

This is my horrible day since I've been here....

Ps. that period of my horrible time is about 1 hour!! This story, I don't want to tell my parent and my girlfriend cause they will be worried because of me.

curse

*Today I'm not in the mood to read 50 pages reading assignment but
I'm in an artist mood to translate my favourite Thai song into English

"Curse"
"The curse always faces me when i have love. The ending gave me so painful.
When i gave all of my life to someone, they always left.
Believe in every word of love but at last, a tear always appears.
I don't know maybe everything has already decided by someone.
Or maybe I've no value to love someone.

Loneliness please let me go away from you.
How can i do to deleted this curse.
Please someone, please answer me. That love is truth.
Everyone who walked into my life always gave good things for me.
But when i repaid them for all of my heart. Everything gonna be worthless.

I don't know maybe everything has already decided by someone.
Or maybe I've no value to love someone.


Loneliness please let me go away from you.
How can I do to deleted this curse.
Please someone, please answer me. That love is truth.

Loneliness please let me go away from you.
How can I do to deleted this curse.
Please someone, please answer me. That love is truth.

Everyone who walked into my life, they always went away.
Noone really love me. Maybe it's a curse that i must meet.

Maybe i've no value or there has no truth in real love."

This is not my feeling but i like this song. Miss you my love amm.

writing

*"Do you love writing?"
Nada asked me in her class today.
"No" I answered clearly.
... but did someone know that actually, I love writing...
But why I said like that... it's easy to explain. I always stucked when I have to write something. I really want to express my feeling through texts but I can't.

Since I was growing up, my surrounding are books. My father has his own publishing company that translate Japanese cartoon from Japanese language to Thai language. Then, I always read his cartoon. I love to read then I love to write. I think writing should be one part of drawing. Everybody can see how much I love drawing. Maybe I have cartoon characters to be my friends.

Well, I want to keep my memory. Then, I choose one part of my essay topic to show here. I hope someday I can say "I love writing" to public.

The most mysterious Architecture
" Nowadays, nobody can answer the best solution for this myterious ancient period in Egypt. Even we think throughly, the answer still not clear. Everything come from suggestion. The most interesting thing still wait for us to explore the mysterious between the time and the technology in about 5,000 years ago. Espeacially in the Architecture field. In this point, we are in the same situation that is always curious why a recently technology can not make as same as c. 2,700-2,200 B.C. Architecture. For example, the “Karnak Temple” still have mysteries that we can not get the answer yet. And if we look into details of a concept, we will find there still have a lot of mystery!

“Egypt”, the most mysterious kingdom in this world, has very long time civilization. The country which is located in North Africa covers an area 1,001,450 square kilometres. The most important natural source is Nile river which has a lot of mysterious stories begun from here! If we look throughly, we will find that Nile river flows cross the country. Ancient Egyptians thought that the land was seperated into two parts. That are the “Red land” and the “Black land” which have different definition for each other. The first one means barren desert which protected them from enemies from two sides. Another one means fertile land which located near Nile river. Ancient Egyptians also used this land for growing their crops. Daily life of ancient Egyptians revolved around Nile which every year will flood to enrich the soil to bring good harvests and wealth of the land. Then, we can support the reason – Why Egyptians always built the important buildings near Nile such as, pyramids, temple, and monuments. The Nile civilization first appeared on this world since at least the Paleolithic era, the Old Stone Age - the first period of time in human technology but the culture was developed seperately into 2 parts, Upper and Lower Egypt. The Ancient periods still divide into 3 periods. There are the Old Kingdom c. 2,700-2,200 B.C. , the Middle Kingdom c. 2,200-1,500 B.C. , the New Kingdom c. 1,500-1,070 B.C. Even the most mysterious architecture , Karnak Temple, also located around Nile river and it was built in the Middle Kingdom...." (to be continued.)
