Shoah Remembrance Day

Dear Friends
probably many, included me, ignored that the next 27 January 2016 will be the International Holocaust Remembrance Day , in which each country is invited to propose initiatives for commemorating the Holocaust or Shoah . Verona, as centre of railsways directded to Germany, was involved in the transportation of people destinated to death. The deportation Shoah wagon in Piazza Brà is not the only one remembrance initiative in Verona, but certainly with its closed, unbreackable shape it is the most impressive.

Pointillism

Dear Friends
I was very lucky to meet in Verona, all together, nothing less then Seurat, Van Gogh and Mondrian . Many themes dealt by a lot of experts, on which it would take too long to stay, connect and separate these unique artists. But, I think, this time, that it is easy to recognize a common thread that binds them together, i.e. the evolution of the Pointillism , variously indicated also as Pointillarism,  Divisionism, Chromoluminarism , Post-Impressionism , as painting technics. As can be recognised from the images, Georges Seurat expressed a pixelated basic version of the Pointillism, that van_Gogh developed enlarging the pixels and Mondrian surpassed going beyond the pixels. Any comment from your side is welcomed.

Settimo Paradiso

Dear Friends
I am just back from my flash, intensive presence in Verona. The themes of the Divine Comedy are still living in me from the time of the school, but the artist Enrico Ganassi proposes of them living images. In his Settimo Paradiso  the souls of the humans float in peace, beatitude and free from fear. If Divino Inferno shows concrete, terrifying creatures (see the images), in Settimo Paradiso the souls transform and disappear in the dazzling light of God.
Any comment is welcomed.

Night of Korean Martial Artists

Dear Friends
I cannot deny that my curiosity was stimulated by knowing that on 09 January my Taekwondo School in Munich would have been the venue of the 1st Meeting of the Korean Taekwondo Masters Association 2016. The further invitation to bring my Dobok for meeting these Korean Martial Artists let me no other choice then to attend the event. The Meeting ended well as testified by the relaxed and warm atmosphere of the closing Photo Session (see the images) in which each one of these senior and junior Artists had the possibility of rapidly express himself.
Happy New Year
