<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone. I’m Bayonetta concept designer Ikumi Nakamura. I was wondering if you had heard abou]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hello everyone. I’m Bayonetta concept designer Ikumi Nakamura.</p>
<p>I was wondering if you had heard about the Rodin’s Selection soundtrack you get with Bayonetta? What you didn’t know, and I am here to tell you about, is the strange set of circumstances that occurred as we set off to produce this bonus item.</p>
<p>Years ago&#8230; There was a phone. In front of me.<br />
<a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nakamura.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2049" title="nakamura" src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nakamura.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="330" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>RODIN<br />
Hey. Ikumi. I’ve got a job for you.</p>
<p>IKUMI<br />
Huh? Who is this!? No solicitors!!</p>
<p>RODIN<br />
I’m a bartender… In a wretched hive of<br />
scum and villainy. I heard you got some<br />
skills, and I want you to design my menu.<br />
You gotta make it… Dangerous. And Hot.</p></blockquote>
<p>*click* *beep beep beep*</p>
<p>And then phone call ended.</p>
<p>A few days later, I found myself in one of America’s grimiest cities. Searching around, I found a witch’s seal on the floor in front of me. I stood on it, then collapsed, as it felt as though my entire body was being dragged away.</p>
<p>That is when I realized where I was&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rodin_00.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2054" title="rodin_00" src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rodin_00.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>RODIN<br />
Welcome, Ikumi.</p>
<p>IKUMI<br />
Well, you said I had a job to do.<br />
I thought to myself, “Even though this guy is<br />
bald as the night as long, he’s got a real<br />
presence about him. Kinda like Kamiya-san&#8230;.”</p>
<p>RODIN<br />
I can hear people’s thoughts, and I sure<br />
as hell heard that. Now did you take care<br />
of that work I told you about?</p>
<p>IKUMI<br />
Yep. Here is your menu.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_00.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2057" title="menu_00" src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_00.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a><br />
<a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_01.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2058" title="menu_00" src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_01.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>IKUMI<br />
Let’s start with the menu… I heard you<br />
like leather, so I made the menu seem like<br />
it is distressed leather. Also, I made the bar’s<br />
logo seem as it was embossed on. It looks old<br />
and worn so that it would link up with the<br />
ambiance of your place. I also added the text<br />
you asked for –<br />
The Gates of Hell, Fine Cocktails and Spirits.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_book_00.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2054" title="rodin_00" src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_book_00.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a><br />
<a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_book_01.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2054" title="rodin_00" src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_book_01.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>※ The picture isn’t blurry. I was just incredibly scared to hold the menu so my hand was shaking!</p>
<blockquote><p>IKUMI<br />
On the inside of the menu, we have a booklet<br />
that has the actual Gates of Hell on the cover,<br />
since I heard you often find your way down to<br />
hell. I also added “Abandon all hope, ye who enter<br />
here,” so everyone who opens the menu will know<br />
take pause in what they are getting themselves into.<br />
I think that fits what you are trying to do here<br />
perfectly. I put your address and such on the back<br />
of the booklet.</p>
<p>RODIN<br />
What about the inside of this bad boy?</p>
<p>IKUMI<br />
I was too scared to open it&#8230; Being, you know,<br />
a mere mortal. Why don’t you take a look?</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rodin_book_01.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2054" title="rodin_00" src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rodin_book_01.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a><br />
<a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_book_02.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2054" title="rodin_00" src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_book_02.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>RODIN<br />
Beautiful.</p></blockquote>
<p>With that, our business dealings ended.</p>
<p>A few years passed, until just a couple of days ago I had a talk with Kamiya-san.<br />
<a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kamiya.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2054" title="rodin_00" src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kamiya.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a><br />
※ Kamiya-san worrying about the pre-order bonus.</p>
<blockquote><p>HIDEKI KAMIYA<br />
What am I going to do for the pre-order gift&#8230; Hmm&#8230;<br />
If we do a soundtrack, what should we do for the design&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>Watching Kamiya-san’s glow brighter and brighter as he searched for an idea, I remembered something I had worked on a few years ago and decided to make a phone call.</p>
<blockquote><p>IKUMI<br />
Rodin!! I’ve got something urgent we need to talk about.<br />
We want to use the menu I made for your bar as the<br />
pre-order bonus for Bayonetta.</p>
<p>RODIN<br />
Oh. Ikumi. Yeah, baby, that’s fine. I’ll break off<br />
some spares I got lying around. By the way, I still<br />
haven’t paid you for that design work, so we’ll call<br />
it even.</p>
<p>IKUMI<br />
Umm&#8230; OK. Kinda surprised that went<br />
so well, but it all sounds good to me.<br />
Thanks.</p>
<p>RODIN<br />
When you get things wrapped up, make sure you<br />
show me some love and send one this way.</p></blockquote>
<p>CUT TO PRESENT DAY</p>
<p><a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_03.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2054" title="rodin_00" src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/menu_03.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>So here is the final &#8220;The Gates of Hell&#8221; menu. We took one of the actual menus used at the shop and then housed in a special jacket that also holds the Rodin&#8217;s Selection CD.</p>
<p><a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cd_001.jpg"><img src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cd_001.jpg" alt="" title="CD_00" width="500" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2060" /></a><br />
The Rodin&#8217;s Selection CD Soundtrack</p>
<p><a href="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/event_00.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2054" title="rodin_00" src="http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/event_00.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a><br />
※ Bayonetta and Rodin engaged in some sort of conversation. On the ceiling is the “Trinity of Realities” depicting the human world, Inferno, and Paradiso.</p>
<p>For the CD label, we used the painting of the Trinity of Realities, depicting the human world, Inferno, and Paradiso, found on the ceiling in The Gates of Hell. The CD contains tracks from Bayonetta selected by Rodin himself, and mastered especially for this CD. So I suggest you prepare yourselves emotionally before taking a listen.</p>
<p>So there you have it. Bayonetta’s Japanese pre-order bonus, Rodin’s Selection. It was only available for those who pre-ordered in Japan, and only in limited numbers, so I hope you got your hands on it!</p>
<p><strong>This post was produced by Hideki Kamiya.<br />
</strong><br />
<strong>UPDATE:</strong> We’ve heard all the fans overseas who wanted to get their hands on Rodin’s special selection of tracks from the Bayonetta soundtrack! Now you can! While the jacket design is different, you can pick up the Rodin’s Selection disc as a part of the Bayonetta ∞ Climax Edition! Check with your local retailer for information on how you can get your hands on the ∞ Climax Edition! (Note: The Bayonetta ∞ Climax Edition is currently announced for UK, France, Spain, and Australian release). A replica Scarborough Fair gun is also available in most European territories when you pre-order the game!</p>

<p>The weather wasn&#8217;t cooperating so it was destined to be a day in the studio. I decided to revisit a painting I had done earlier this year along the American River. I usually don&#8217;t do something like this and I am not sure why. I have seen other artists paint the same subject or scene many times over, and each painting tells a slightly different story. I think I am leery of getting bored with the process. So to mix things up and give it a go I selected a different size (the original was 9 x 12&#8243;) a different surface (pastelmat vs an Ampersand panel) and a different time of day.</p>
<div id="attachment_994" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://mariannepost.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/capture_light.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-994 " style="margin-left:6px;margin-right:6px;" title="capture_light" src="http://mariannepost.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/capture_light.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="117" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">River Light</p></div>
<p>Rodin was right! I was pleasantly surprised when I got &#8220;sucked into&#8221; the process. The watercolor underpainting responded differently on the panel than the paper. And the pastel application had a different feel. Time flew by and in a matter of a couple of hours, <em>Tomorrow&#8217;s Promise</em> was done. Tomorrow I&#8217;ll try it again, promise!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I have a Twitter account. I got into it first via Startle TV in order  to drum up interest in the  website. I then took  a bit more interest in my own Twitter   account. Initially, I only had a  couple of followers. In fact, the number was 8. All of them people I knew. Over the past few days I have been tweeting more and following a few more people. I now have 33 followers. Not a great  amount  but 4 times as  many as when I first started out.  I try not to follow the usual people that so   many  do; Stephen Fry, Barack Obama, Larry David and Perez Hilton. I&#8217;m  not  really  interested  in  doing  that. I&#8217;m more interested in the less well-known. I also like the idea of 140 characters  coming to me via a  long-distance route. I follow some  people  in Alaska, some Americans, a guy  in India and an art  group in Tokyo. I can&#8217;t understand what the group in Tokyo write but I like to look at the pictures.</p>
<p>There  are  some people  closer to home that I also like to follow. A  London  Cab Driver called  Mike. Yesterday Mike tweeted &#8220;Dropped the boss at LHR off to play in the merc later!! Take the wife out she will be chuffed!! (Boss did say its ok!!).&#8221; (sic). This wasn&#8217;t a quote from a bygone age but almost the opening line to what could end up being a fascinating novel, or not. One  thing I have  found  with many American tweeters is that so  many of them don&#8217;t have much to say. Instead, they just type in quotes about how to become successful, remain happy, achieve all they want to achieve. I blame  Oprah Winfrey myself.  I&#8217;m sure a lot of them  keep &#8216;The Secret&#8217; by their beds. Personally, I wonder why, if   The Secret is so great, so many people are still bothering to  try and win their  fortune on a double roll over lottery? Get out and read The Secret. Then it really could be you!</p>
<p>I have  decided to adopt a  new Twitter policy  which is to stop following people if all they ever do is type in quotes. It seems  pointless to me. I would  rather read a tweet like &#8220;Just  had my fringe cut and now I am going to drink a yard of ale&#8221; than some words of wisdom once written by Abraham Lincoln or Father Abraham. The latter may have once said some words of wisdom he picked up from his time spent with the Smurfs. If I want quotes, then I will reach for one of those books about quotes  of which there are so many.  I enjoy Twitter and certainly don&#8217;t see it as  a waste of time. As Auguste Rodin once said &#8220;Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely&#8221;. Which, of course, I hope I do.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://nerdygirlatw.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg0286.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-132" title="CIMG0286" src="http://nerdygirlatw.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg0286.jpg?w=225" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>(Except without that whole being executed for treason under the guillotine thing.  I bet that kinda sucked.)</p>
<p>Wow.  Amazing.  That is all I can say to describe this past weekend in Paris.  Paris is a city which affects me more than any other city that I have been to and I could never really articulate why&#8230; It is just a feeling and each time I come here (this was my 3rd visit) I have a completely new experience, regardless of whether it is my first or my third visit to the sight.  This weekend was a very special weekend because I was able to meet up with one of my best friends Alison, currently studying abroad in Barcelona, and introduce her to this wonderful city.  Sadly, as I write this post she is already on her way to the airport (I still have an hour wait or so before I jet back off to &#8220;reality&#8221;).  As I sit here I can feel my body giving into the exhaustion of a weekend of non-stop walking, eating, gawking, and just pure glee and excitement.  I hope that I can make it on and off the plane&#8230; (However, if I don&#8217;t I would be happy to eat beans and live in a cardboard box here.  I am sure even their beans are doused in butter!)</p>
<p>Yesterday was really our only full day together to sight-see so we decided to make the most of it even if it killed us, our joints, and our shoes.  Started our morning at the Louvre, made a bee-line for the <em>Mona Lisa</em>, wandered around a bit but decided that as guilty as we felt the Louvre, with it&#8217;s sheer gargantuan size was overwhelming and we would just have to come to Paris to do it justice!  St. Chapelle and Notre Dame were just as hauntingly beautiful as I remembered with the stained glass and dark stone that takes me right back to the middle ages.  (Yes, of course I remember it.)  We even got to sit in on a Mass!  Lunch was delectable with pumpkin soup, salmon, and ratatouille in a little café with low ceilings off of the Seine and then we started our biggest trek of the day through the Tuilleries, down the Champs-Elysée and up to the Arc de Triomphe.  Apparently driving there is so dangerous that if you get in an accident your insurance is void!  Our last stop of the day was the Eiffel tower, which while impressive during the day was a million times more amazing at night all lit up and sparkly.</p>

<p>Today, mindful of our time constraints we headed off to Musée d&#8217;Orsay, enjoyed the beautiful architecture of the former train station, the Van Gogh, Rodin, and Impressionists inside (among many others!).  Our last stop was the Garnier Opera house, which I had never been inside before and it made me wish that we had had more time to actually go and experience an opera or ballet production there&#8230;Oh well!  We have already started planning our next visit so it will definitely have to be on the list!</p>
<p>For those of you planning on visiting Paris here is a helpful article written by a traveler looking through the eyes of the 18-19th century:</p>
<p>http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/11/22/travel/22Grimod.html?pagewanted=3&#38;sq=paris%20travel&#38;st=cse&#38;scp=1</p>
<p>I knew there was a reason I&#8217;ve studied the French Revolution four times&#8230;</p>
<p>p.s.  We should all thank Miss Alison for commandeering my camera and providing the pictures to accompany this post!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;">“Temos a arte para não morrer da verdade”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Friedrich Nietzsche</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3095" href="http://apenassentimentos3.wordpress.com/2009/11/21/feriado-em-sao-paulo/ingresso_masp-001/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3095" src="http://apenassentimentos3.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ingresso_masp-001.jpg" alt="" width="422" height="300" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Fazia <strong>MUITO</strong> tempo que eu não ficava em São Paulo durante um feriado e fazia muito mais tempo em que eu não aproveitava um feriado para descobrir as atrações dessa grande cidade. Então, o último feriado do dia 20, <em>Dia da Consciência Negra</em>, foi dedicado a isso: curtir os amigos queridos, visitar pontos turísticos, desestressar um pouco, esquecer os problemas do cotidiano e conseguir um pouco de diversão.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Ao lado dos queridos Rafa, Mari e Talita, visitei o <em>MASP &#8211; Museu de Arte de São Paulo</em> e, além de ver o acervo fixo, contemplamos duas ótimas exposições. A primeira, <strong><em>De Dentro Para Fora – De Fora para Dentro</em></strong>, era uma exposição de arte mural, feita por 6 artistas que se especializaram nesse suporte experimentando nas ruas da cidade. Ao mesmo tempo, havia uma exposição dentro da exposição – uma loucura muito bacana. Eram telas, vídeos, fotografias, instalações e outros suportes apresentados em individual de cada um dos artistas.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Foi muito legal! É muito bacana ver uma arte basicamente conceitual, que nasceu da interação com a cidade e seus suportes, e entender um pouco do trabalho de cada um desses artistas. Também é legal destacar que havia um espaço de interação: gizes eram disponibilizados e os visitantes podiam escrever, desenhar e criar a intervenção que desejasse num determinado espaço. Com certeza, uma idéia genial e super apropriada para entender o caos das cidades e como as artes podem surgir em meio a tudo isso.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Genial!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">A segunda exposição, <strong><em>Rodin – Do Ateliê ao Museu</em></strong>, já apresentava-se um pouco mais clássica e convencional de acordo com os padrões de um museu. Juntando a fotografia, a importância da mesma e as esculturas do artista, a exposição tenta evidenciar como acontecia o processo de criação de Rodin e como isto era absorvido pelas pessoas da época. Obviamente tudo foi muito interessante, mas preciso dizer que as esculturas, com certeza, foi o que mais me chamou a atenção.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">As imagens nasciam dos materiais e pareciam seguir as formas do bruto. Então, de alguma forma, forma e conteúdo se mesclavam lindamente e traziam resultados maravilhosos. Me apaixonei por <em>Eterna Primavera</em> e <em>O Beijo</em> – com certeza duas obras que carregam um tom erótico e real tão forte que parece envolver o observador.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Muito lindo e impactante mesmo!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Depois deste lindo passeio pelo <em>MASP</em>, fomos almoçar na velha e boa padaria <em>Bella Paulista </em>e mais tarde caminhamos pela linda Avenida paulista, onde vimos feiras de artesanato, observamos o movimento dos carros e das pessoas, conversamos muito e ficamos em paz.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Um dia basicamente simples, mas com certeza muito bom e inesquecível&#8230; E eu confesso que precisava de algo assim para me inspirar e encerrar o ano com classe, calma e muita fé. Definitivamente!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3087" href="http://apenassentimentos3.wordpress.com/2009/11/21/feriado-em-sao-paulo/img142-01/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3087" src="http://apenassentimentos3.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img142-01.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="463" /></a><strong><em>Obras de Arte: sempre tão lindo!</em></strong></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;<strong>A rose by any other name would smell as sweet,</strong>&#8221; </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Juliet, 1594</em></p>
<p><strong>Did you know that the expression </strong>&#8220;<em>French Kissing</em>&#8221; is not necessarily French?  In France, they call it <em>&#8216;<strong>baiser amoureux</strong>&#8216;&#8211;a love kiss</em>&#8211;which is a much nicer expression if you ask me.</p>
<p><strong>Do the youth of today still use the expression</strong>, &#8220;<em>French Kiss</em>&#8220;?  If they do, that&#8217;s had some nice longevity.</p>
<p>Although, if I remember correctly, the term &#8220;<em>suck face</em>&#8221; was used quite widely in my youth&#8211;though often disdainfully. <em>It still creeps me out.</em></p>
<p>I remember reading a novel set in early Japan which explained that &#8216;<em>kissing</em>&#8216; had not been part of their culture until Westerners arrived, and this is actually true for other cultures as well.</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s hard to imagine a &#8220;<em>kiss-less</em>&#8221; society</strong>, isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>I remember my first tongue kiss.  No fireworks there.  It was more like having a wet washcloth placed in my mouth.</p>
<p>Later kisses were spectacular&#8211; including those <a href="http://themarriagejourney.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/twenty-years-ago/">early ones with my husband</a>.  But with a quarter of a century between us, they&#8217;re not quite as &#8220;<em>fresh</em>&#8221; as they once were.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll never forget the line about kisses from the movie <em>Sleepless in Seattle</em> (I think it was that one.)  Three married women on a lunch date were discussing sex.  One woman asked another how she could have sex with her husband if she hated him so much.  She replied that you didn&#8217;t need love for sex, only for kissing&#8211;<em>and all three women nodded their heads</em>.</p>
<p><strong><em>I did too</em>.  But does that mean that a marriage is loveless if there&#8217;s no kissing</strong>?  My great-grandmother was happily married to her second husband for almost twenty years before he passed away when they were both in their early nineties, <a href="http://themarriagejourney.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/a-kiss-less-marriage/">but they never shared a kiss. Literally, never.</a></p>
<p><strong>So kisses can&#8217;t be everything</strong>, just as good sex doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean a marriage is healthy.   But I&#8217;m still moved by kisses&#8211;<em>the ones I can feel in my toes when I see them on the screen</em>;  the ones I t<em>urn away from on the street that inexplicably stir something inside. </em></p>
<p>When I was in <em>Paris</em>, <em>the City of Love</em>, in my early twenties, I couldn&#8217;t get enough of <em>Rodin&#8217;s</em> sculpture, <em>The Kiss</em>.  Of course, in art as in film and novels, the best kissing goes to the young couple or at least the new one.</p>
<p><strong>Though one of the most famous pairs of lovers argued that there was nothing in a name, </strong><em>what did they know</em>?  They still lived at home with their parents.  Maybe a rose would smell as sweet no matter what you named it.  But I&#8217;m going try calling tongue kissing,&#8221;<em>the kiss of love</em>,&#8221; and see what life that brings to my middle-aged smooching.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I just wanted to show my favorite picture from the entire trip. I was in the Rodin museum, I was trying to take a picture, and there was an ADORABLE old man who stood right next to the statue I was shooting, innocently smiling and admiring the sculpture.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>É considerado o <b>primeiro escultor moderno</b>. Ok, isto é um pouco rolo. Vamos aos fatos e fotos. </p>
<ul>
<li>Era fascinado pelo movimento, inclusive pedia que seus modelos se movimentassem, e preferia dançarinas de cancan a modelos profissionais. Ele dizia que retratava as emoções através da mobilidade dos músculos.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Considerava terminada uma escultura quando já tinha alcançado seu objetivo artístico, e por isso as vezes parece que deixou algo inacabado. Este inacabado reforçava a carga expressiva das figuras.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Transportou o conceito de uma instantânea fotográfica ao 3D, isso mesmo. Captou instantes e plasmou isto na pedra, no cobre, no barrro, na cera. O poeta alemão, Rainer Maria Rilke que esteve vivendo na casa de Rodin por um ano, conta que ele era capaz de construir uma figura de barro em escassos 15 minutinhos.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Também realizou os típcos cortes fotográficos nas esculturas. Se para contar tal história, não eram necessários os braços da figura, ele simplesmente não os realizava. Ele simplificou as formas ao máximo.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<ul>
<li>E o mais extraordinário, conseguiu extrapolar o conceito do cubismo à escultura. Como? O cubismo é plasmar em um mesmo espaço pontos diferentes de vista de um objeto, pessoa ou paisagem. Ele pegou uma escultura e a reproduziu três vezes, mudando o tal do ponto de vista. </li>
</ul>
<p>Dá uma olhada o que faziam os escultores do seu tempo &#8230;</p>

<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<p>O Museu de Arte de São Paulo abriu no final do mês de outubro a exposição – Rodin: do ateliê ao museu. Uma mostra de quase 200 fotografias. Algumas mostram o processo de criação de suas obras. Outras são verdadeiras obras de arte que utilizam como tema, as esculturas de Rodin ou seu ateliê. Uma exposição inédita, importante para entender melhor o homem por trás do artista, o trabalho que existe na elaboração da obra. Quando retornem à Paris, estas fotografias passaram por um processo de conservação, que inclui estar vinte anos guardadas para evitar sua deterioração. São fotos fragéis, que mostram os começos da técnica, de final do século 19 e início do 20.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="max-width:800px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2726/4068715508_694e2f974d.jpg" alt="" width="397" height="362" />A obra &#8220;Balzac&#8221;

</div>
<p>Se não fosse bastante, a mostra conta com 22 esculturas, entre elas: “As Sombras”. Este conjunto escultórico sai pela primeira vez dos jardins do Museu Rodin. Como se vê, uma exposição única, que estará aberta somente até 13 de dezembro. Uma pena que como sempre o museu continua desprezando os meios eletrônicos, porque não se menciona no site a esta importante exposição, alguém pode me dizer a razão?!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">*</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;"><strong>- Orfeo. Euridice. Ermete -</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">Era la prodigiosa miniera delle anime.<br />
Come vene d&#8217;argento silenziose<br />
scorrevano il suo buio. Tra radici<br />
sgorgava il sangue che affluisce agli uomini<br />
e greve come porfido appariva nel buio.<br />
Di rosso altro non c&#8217;era.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">Rupi c&#8217;erano,<br />
selve incorporee e ponti sul vuoto<br />
e quell&#8217;enorme, grigio, cieco stagno,<br />
sospeso sopra il suo lontano fondo<br />
come cielo piovoso su un paesaggio.<br />
E in mezzo a prati miti di pazienza,<br />
pallida striscia, un unico sentiero era visibile<br />
come una lunga tela distesa ad imbiancare.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">E per quest&#8217;unico sentiero essi venivano.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">In testa l&#8217;uomo snello in manto azzurro,<br />
guardando innanzi muto e impaziente<br />
divorava la strada col suo passo<br />
a grandi morsi senza masticarla. Gravi, chiuse,<br />
dalle pieghe del suo manto pendevano le mani,<br />
dimenticata ormai la lieve lira<br />
ch&#8217;era incarnata nella sua sinistra<br />
come tralci di rosa nel ramo dell&#8217;ulivo.<br />
Ed i suoi sensi erano in due divisi:<br />
mentre l&#8217;occhio in avanti correva come un cane,<br />
tornava ed ogni volta nuovamente lontano<br />
alla prossima svolta era ad attenderlo -<br />
l&#8217;udito gli restava &#8211; come un odore &#8211; indietro.<br />
Talora gli sembrava di percepire il passo<br />
degli altri due viandanti che dovevano<br />
seguirlo fino al colmo dell&#8217;ascesa.<br />
Poi nient&#8217;altro che l&#8217;eco del suo ascendere<br />
dietro di lui e il vento del suo manto.<br />
E tuttavia venivano, si disse<br />
a voce alta, e udì perdersi la voce.<br />
Venivano, gli parve, ma con passo inudibile,<br />
i due. Se per un attimo<br />
gli fosse dato volgersi (se il volgersi a guardare<br />
non fosse la rovina dell&#8217;intera sua opera<br />
prima del compimento) li vedrebbe<br />
i silenziosi due che lo seguivano:</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">il dio dei viandanti e del messaggio<br />
lontano, sopra gli occhi chiari il pètaso,<br />
lo snello caducèo proteso innanzi,<br />
e alle caviglie il battito dell&#8217;ali;<br />
e affidata alla sua sinistra: lei.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">La Tanto-amata che un&#8217;unica lira<br />
la pianse più che schiera di prèfiche nel tempo,<br />
e dal lamento un mondo nuovo nacque<br />
ove ancora una volta tutto c&#8217;era: selva, valle,<br />
paesi, vie, e campi, e fiumi e belve;<br />
e intorno a questo mondo del lamento<br />
come intorno ad un&#8217;altra terra, un sole<br />
ed un cielo stellato taciti si volgevano,<br />
un cielo del lamento pieno di astri stravolti -:<br />
Lei, la Tanto-amata.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">Ma ella andava alla mano di quel dio,<br />
e il passo le inceppavano le lunghe bende funebri,<br />
incerta, mite e senza impazienza;<br />
chiusa in sé come grembo che prepari una nascita,<br />
senza un pensiero all&#8217;uomo innanzi a lei,<br />
né alla via che alla vita risaliva.<br />
Chiusa era in sé. E il suo essere morta<br />
la riempiva come una pienezza.<br />
Come d&#8217;oscurità e dolcezza un frutto,<br />
era colma della sua grande morte,<br />
così nuova che tutto le era incomprensibile.<br />
Ella era in una verginità nuova<br />
ed intangibile. Il suo sesso chiuso<br />
come un giovane fiore sulla sera,<br />
e le sue mani erano così immemori<br />
di nozze che anche il dio che la guidava<br />
col suo tocco infinitamente lieve,<br />
come un contatto troppo familiare l&#8217;offendeva.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">E non era più lei la bionda donna<br />
che echeggiava talvolta nei canti del poeta,<br />
isola profumata in mezzo all&#8217;ampio letto;<br />
né più gli apparteneva.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">Come una lunga chioma era già sciolta,<br />
come pioggia caduta era diffusa,<br />
come un raccolto in mille era divisa.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">Ormai era radice.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">E quando il dio bruscamente<br />
fermatala, con voce di dolore,<br />
esclamò: Si è voltato -,<br />
lei non capì e in un soffio chiese: Chi?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">Ma in lontananza &#8211; oscuro contro la soglia chiara -<br />
qualcuno in volto non riconoscibile<br />
immobile guardava<br />
la striscia di sentiero in mezzo ai prati<br />
dove il dio messaggero, l&#8217;occhio afflitto,<br />
si voltava in silenzio seguendo la figura<br />
che per la via di prima già tornava,<br />
e il passo le inceppavano le lunghe bende funebri,<br />
incerta, mite e senza impazienza.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#888888;">(R. M. Rilke)</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-253" title="salon" src="http://estrangements.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/salon.jpg?w=300" alt="salon" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>So, did you always want to be a hairstylist,</p>
<p>or would you have been a painter or sculptor or architect instead?</p>
<p>I pose this, if only in my head, because it occurred to me</p>
<p>while spinning round in your chair, that you cut hair</p>
<p>like you’re making love to my skin.</p>
<p>I feel this from the tenderness of your hands,</p>
<p>the light scratches of fingernails,</p>
<p>the gentle way you prod when you need to turn my head.</p>
<p>As if you know me well enough to not want to hurt me.</p>
<p>As if you recognize the dangers of a loose electric shaver,</p>
<p>and you’d like to spare me a sting or two</p>
<p>wrought from a wild slice at my hairline.</p>
<p>You want me to love you and your nimble hands.</p>
<p>Want me to glance in the mirror and see</p>
<p>you shaping my tightly cropped hair, edging away</p>
<p>the damage I do by wearing my hat. And you spin me around.</p>
<p>You curl my ears.</p>
<p>You slide supple fingers under my chin, square up my sideburns.</p>
<p>You are the Michelangelo of hair.</p>
<p>You are the Rodin of tight fades.</p>
<p>You are the building maker who smiles when we ride the elevator.</p>
