내 삶의 바탕 화면 


Durand, Asher Brown: "Pastoral landscape", 1861 

저게 뭐더라.
어디에서 많이 본 듯한 모습이 눈앞에 펼쳐져 있다. 
그것은 바탕화면이었다. 
내 컴퓨터의 바탕화면이 눈앞에 나타난 것이다. 
바람이 다듬은 선 고운 언덕, 
완곡한 에스라인의 푸른 초원과 
파란 물이 뚝뚝 떨어질 것 같은 하늘, 
그리고 흰구름. 
나는 그 바탕화면을 좋아한다. 
푸른 초원과 파란 하늘 
그리고 흰구름이 조화를 이루고 있는 
단순함으로 되돌아와 잠시나마 
눈과 마음의 쉼을 얻곤 했다. 
내 삶의 바탕화면은 무엇일까. 
- 신영길의《초원의 바람을 가르다》중에서 -
* 내 삶의 바탕화면은 무엇일까.
이 시간 저 자신에게도 같은 질문을 던져봅니다.
탁 트인 푸른 초원, 맑고 푸른 하늘, 흰구름의 모습일까,
아니면 검은 땅, 흐린 하늘, 탁한 먹구름의 모습일까? 
누구든 찾아와도 어머님 품처럼 따뜻한 곳일까,
열 때마다 얼음처럼 차갑고 메마른 곳일까?
사람은 누구나 바탕화면이 있습니다.
그가 하는 말, 몸짓, 발걸음 하나에
얼핏얼핏 투영되어 나타납니다.

Aivazovsky reaches in this painting an absolute technical perfection, painting a group of unlucky castaways trying to survive. The centre of the composition is the powerful, almost mystical and diffuse representation of the sun, which illuminates the scene with a strange, oneiric range of green and pink shades.
Alma-Tadema, Lawrence:"Unconscious rivals", 1893

Perhaps the best example of Arcimboldo's originality is the inverted portraits, apparent still lifes that, once turned 90º, are transformed into strange, disturbing portraits. "The roast" or "The cook" and "The market gardener" are the best and more famous examples.

One of the most famous and commented paintings of all the western painting. The work by Hyeronimus Bosch is basically moralizing, didactic. The artist sees in the society the triumph of the sin, the depravation, and all the things that have caused the fall of the human being from its angelical character.

Brueghel the elder, Pieter: "Dutch proverbs", 1559

Berlin, Gemäldegalerie

Choose resolution: 1024x768 - 1280x800

Parallelisms are commonly established between Bosch and Brueghel, but the truth is that the differences are abysmal. Works by Bruegel (as we can see in works as " The Dutch Proverbs ") are full of irony and even a love for the rural life that seems to anticipate the Dutch landscape painting of the next century

London, National Gallery

New York, Metropolitan Museum

Choose resolution: 1024x768 - 1280x800 - 1280x1024 - 1440x900 - 1680x1050

This is one of the most famous versions of the numerous views that Paul Cézanne painted of the Mount Sainte-Victoire in the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence. This work is "cubist before the cubism": the triangular mountain and the prairie elements -geographic or edificatory- acquire volume thanks not to the perspective, but to the superposition of chromatic planes

Church, Frederick Edwin: "The Icebergs", 1861

Dallas Museum of Art

Choose resolution: 1024x768 - 1280x800

The icy death. Beautiful and exuberant at first glance, this masterwork is a sinister and terrible romantic document, showing the remains of a shipwreck, where it really doesn't matter if the sailors have survived or not: the merciless icebergs will soon kill them if the violence of the accident has not done it before

Church, Frederick Edwin: "Cotopaxi", 1855

Smithsonian Museum

Church represents the culmination of the Hudson River School : the love for the landscape of Cole, the romantic lyricism of Durand, and the grandiloquence of Bierstadt, but braver and technically more gifted than anyone with them.

Cole is known as the founder of the Hudson River School. Born in Britain , his family emigrates to America when he was only 17 years old, so we can consider him a totally American painter.

Constable (1776-1837) is, with William Turner, the great figure of the English romanticism. Unlike his contemporary, he never left England, and he devoted all his time to represent the life and landscapes of his loved England. This self-imposed limitation did not prevent him from develop a highly personal style.

"Liberty leading the People" is a work filled with symbolism. Technically it's also an extraordinary work, in which the memories of Gericault's " the raft of the medusa " are present in the composition Immediately associated with the French Revolution, Delacroix's masterwork also demonstrates the capacity of the Painting to become the symbol of an age.

New York, Metropolitan Museum

Choose resolution: 1024x768 - 1280x800 - 1280x1024 - 1440x900 - 1680x1050

The wave is her much more than a mere oceanic circumstance. It's a monster, a giant leviathan that menaces with its canines the agile and audacious ships that cross, flexible, the Japanese seas. The terrible ocean's claw is so powerful that threatens to devour even the sacred Mount Fuji , presented at the background as another victim of the evil wave

Really, the terrible expressivity, bordering on macabre of the work makes unnecessary almost every commentary, while we assist helpless to the tragic end of the unlucky sailor, represented with a effective exaggeration, perhaps an evidence of Winslow Homer's formation as a press reporter.

The Sistine Chapel constitute one of the supreme masterworks of the universal Art. The scene of "the last judgment", in which he worked during four years, is a colossal composition in which the vigorous Michelangelo creates a universe of titans, formed by almost sculptural volumes, which help us to understand why the artist signed his works with a "Michelangelo, sculptor"

The bourgeois scene is developed under a strong "plein air" light. The clear limits between land, sea and sky divide and hierarchies the composition, vertically organized by the two flags fluttered by the ocean breeze.

Between 1881 and 1883 Monet made a series of trips to various coastal towns in Normandy, as Dieppe, Pourville or Trouville. Unlike in former seascapes, Monet seems to focus more on the coastal landscape in the ocean itself, taking advantage of the dramatic nature of the rugged Normandy coast and its spectacular cliffs.

"The night watch" is one of the most import!!ant paintings of the whole history of Art. Rembrandt has represented the exact moment when the captain of the company has order the advance, but this order seems to have not arrived yet to his subordinates. This tension between movement and statism gives the picture an irresistible magnetism.
