A country you would like to visit

Hello everybody, today I comment you about a country that I would like to visit. Well, I thought this for a long time, because only choose an only country it is difficult for me. I love too much different country like Greek, Italy, Jamaica, France, Costa Rica, but I decided for Japan. I like too much this country, for its culture, for its architecture, the history, the places (my favorite places are: Kyoto, Okinawa, Hokkaido and Tokyo).

Okinawa

Kyoto

Hokkaido

Its literature and poetry (which is called “Haiku”) and another things (like the mythology). Always I have thought that Japan it is a magical place, when I was child my brother teach me about this country and this type of connection between humans and nature. Also I really fans of the director Japanese, his name is Hayao Miyazaki. His movies are so beautiful with a message enough ecologist, maybe this name don’t sound for anyplace, but he direct movie like “Spirited away”, “Howl’s moving castle” and “the wind rises”. Another reason is my sister, she teach me about the Japanese writing (which is called kanji, hiragara or katakana, it is depend the way you write). The only problem with Japan is the male chauvinism, I hate male chauvinism men and not only men but all person that is male chauvinism.

But (leave aside these matter) if I go to Japan, I would like trip with my friend, because we have the same dreams and similar liking. I am certain that she want eat “ramen” and look the cherry trees blossom (in Japan is called “Hanami”, it is all event), in my case I want travel for my favorite places.

A piece of art

First, I am the worst person when we talk about art. I don´t know, it’s very difficult for me talk or say what is art. But, today I comment you about a pieces of art (as far as I am concerned, what is art). I think it was coincidence meet this work. I refer about “Violin and Pitcher” by George Braque.

The first time that I saw, it’s was the last year. I had a homework (for elective art), where I had to investigate about an artist of Cubism, but I didn’t want to talk about Picasso for unknown reasons (In fact, my classmate wanted to talk about he and I am enough specially for some things *cof cof egoist cof cof*) Getting back to the subject, I choose George Braque because I never heard about this artist. After investigating, I like too much his work (thinking that Cubism isn’t my favorite artistic movement) especially Violin and Pitcher. This work is my favorite because the use of materials and oil painting is wonderful, he created a depth in something flat, the complexity of the forms that finally he create something harmonious. Also, the violin it’s lost inside the paint, for that reason is very interesting for me. But I don’t think that this work is more than better other paint. It’s just that, the life and the work of Braque is very interesting and stunning. (In fact, after investigating, I must have done a work inspired by him. And I think it was the first time that I broke a guitar, it was like declaring war against elective music, just like a Civil War :'D )
