RELEITURAS DA MONA LISA

What is rereading?
Just as there are different interpretations of a work of art, there are severalpossibilities for new readings of his work. A good re-reading will depend on agood understanding in reading the work. Rereading a book is totally different than just play it as it is necessary to interpret what is seen as well and exercisingcreativity. When recreating a work is not necessary to employ the same technique used by the artist in the original work. In re-reading of a painting we can use other forms of artistic expression as drawing, sculpture, photography or collage. The most important thing is to create something new that keeps a link to the source that inspired. A good proposal for a new reading is based on prior knowledge of theartist and the works: a season in which he lived, his biography, he admired artists,other artists of his time, the theme of the work and their other work, the technique used , etc.. There are numerous cases of great artists who have used it to improve,to honor their masters, or any work in particular. In the case of the arts, the activities of rereading has enormous educational value, and sometimes produce results that become known and result in a sequence of works, in other times and styles. There are many examples in the art, such as painting Luncheon on the Grass by Manetthat inspired Picasso. Manet was inspired by Concerto Pastoral of Giorgione and in an engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi, The Judgment of Paris, picture-baseddesign of Raphael. Or, again, Manet's The Balcony of Magritte reading of Manet'sThe Balcony, which reread The Counter Goya.

Rereading is the artistic. Review what is your attitude toward work and what theirreaction. Art is to Art. It is critical in the transformation of an artistic activity

MONALISA - Leonardo Da Vinci





 
As mil faces de Monalisa...


Rereading is the artistic. Review what is your attitude toward work and what theirreaction. Art is to Art. It is critical in the transformation of an artistic activity



























For what purposes we use our inspirations? Some to create something new,something old to renew others. But one thing is certain, each inspired by how and where you can. hehe

Manifestos, speeches, concepts, themes, appropriations, readings ... was thinking about these last two that I looked for pictures to illustrate.

But what is a remake? A new reading is the act of an artist to show his vision of a work, or give a new meaning to it.

Thus, I believe that everyone should know Mona Lisa, the Mona Lisa by Leonardoda Vinci, full of mystery about her smile and height of the horizon behind it, is an inspiration to this day for many artists around the world.

I then show two readings of the Mona Lisa that I found very interesting.

The first is the Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero, the author ofmany works "chubby", criticizing the static situation of human beings and all theirgreed:

O fascínio de Mona Lisa

Exposição na Itália com releituras da famosa pintura de Da Vinci levanta a questão: por que esta obra exerce tanto encanto?

VERSÕES A mostra traz a Gioconda nua e a de bigode, de Duchamp

Na Itália renascentista de 1503, um artista de nome Leonardo retratou uma jovem dama de sorriso enigmático e olhar suave, desejando atingir a perfeição das técnicas que utilizava para dar vida às suas obras. Ele sabia que aplicava ali linhas inovadoras, o que renderia reconhecimento especial de seu talento. Provavelmente, no entanto, não imaginava que aquela imagem se tornaria a mais marcante da história da arte, atravessando séculos e alcançando um patamar em que seu valor é inestimável.

A "Mona Lisa", de Leonardo Da Vinci, ainda hoje é objeto de discussão, admiração e releituras. Uma exposição no Museu Ideale Leonardo Da Vinci, em Vinci, região da Toscana, comprova o fascínio que "La Gioconda" exerce sobre as pessoas. A mostra "Joconde - Da Monna Lisa alla Gioconda Nuda",Uma segunda parte da exposição é dedicada a "Mona Lisa" como fenômeno da cultura pop. O destaque é a versão do artista francês Marcel Duchamp, de 1919, que com um toque de ironia acrescentou bigode e cavanhaque à imagem. Além da exposição, o museu propõe a tarefa nada fácil de catalogar todas as Mona Lisas que surgiram em 500 anos.

Mas, afinal, o que a faz uma celebridade? Antes de tudo, a série de técnicas inovadoras aplicadas por Da Vinci, nas dimensões relativamente pequenas da obra, que marcaram, a partir de então, uma passagem importante das artes (leia quadro). "Foi ainda o que transformou a imagem num modelo referência a ser interpretado por outros artistas",

No final do século XVI, Da Vinci foi viver na França. Lá, nesse período, a obra já despertava interesse por sua qualidade artística. "Causou um grande impacto o jogo sutil de luminosidade que confere volume e uma imprecisão à figura",. É o que faz com que a interpretação da expressão de Mona Lisa varie de acordo com o espectador. Para uns, ela sorri. Outros acham que está séria. O retrato frontal era também uma novidade, diferente dos perfis baseados nos medalhões romanos, comuns às imagens da época.

As muitas histórias em torno de "Mona Lisa" criaram uma aura de obra significativa na memória coletiva. O caso que deu início às especulações aconteceu em 1911, quando o italiano Vicenzo Perugia, guarda do Museu do Louvre, em Paris, roubou o quadro alegando que se tratava de uma preciosidade de seu país. Recuperada dois anos depois, a obra voltou ao Louvre, seu lar desde 1797. "Ela ganhou um status midiático com esse evento",. Foi, porém, o dadaísta Duchamp, com sua versão de Mona Lisa de bigode e cavanhaque, quem chamou a atenção de vez para "La Gioconda".

A partir da década de 50, a pop art começou a lançar produtos de consumo inspirados em ícones culturais. "A ideia dos enigmas também ganha significado. O que não está explicado causa interesse", diz Molino. Por isso, o questionamento sobre quem é e em qual situação está a dama no retrato chama a atenção de especialistas e pessoas comuns.

Graças ao marketing em torno das incertezas, Mona Lisa se transformou em uma das imagens mais reproduzidas na sociedade contemporânea. Ela está estampada em camisetas, louças, calendários, ímãs de geladeira. Ao mesmo tempo, milhares de artistas, no mundo todo, deram início a suas próprias releituras. 

"Reproduzir essa imagem é se inspirar numa figura eterna que atravessa o tempo",

why this book has much charm?


VERSIONS The show features the Mona Lisa with a mustache, for Duchamp

In Renaissance Italy, 1503, an artist named Leonardo portrayed a young lady of enigmatic smile and soft eyes, wishing to attain perfection of the techniques used to give life to his works. He knew there applied innovative lines, which would earn special recognition of his talent. Probably, however, did not think that image would become a staple of art history across centuries and reaching a level where it is invaluable.

The "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo Da Vinci, is still subject of discussion, admiration and readings. An exhibition at the Museum Ideale Leonardo Da Vinci in Vinci, Tuscany, testifies to the fascination that "La Gioconda" has on people. The show "Joconde - The Monna Lisa Gioconda alla Nuda" A second part of the exhibition is devoted to "Mona Lisa" as a pop culture phenomenon. The highlight is the version of the French artist Marcel Duchamp, 1919, that with a touch of irony he added a mustache and goatee in the image. Besides the exhibition, the museum proposes no easy task to catalog all Mona Lisas that emerged in 500 years.

But ultimately, what makes a celebrity? First of all, the series of innovative techniques applied by Da Vinci, the relatively small dimensions of the work, which marked, since then, an important passage of the arts (see box). "It was also what made the image in a reference model to be interpreted by other artists,"

At the end of the sixteenth century, Da Vinci was living in France. There, in that period, the work has aroused interest in its artistic quality. "It caused a great impact on the subtle play of light volume and giving a vagueness to the figure".This is what causes the interpretation of the term of Mona Lisa vary according to the viewer. For one, she smiles. Others think it is serious. The front picture was also new, different profiles based on Roman medallions, common to pictures of the season.


The many stories about the "Mona Lisa" has created an aura of significant work in the collective memory. The case that started the speculation happened in 1911, when Italian Vincenzo Perugia, keeper of the Louvre Museum in Paris, stole the picture claiming it was a gem of his country. Recovered two years later, it returned to the Louvre, his home since 1797. "She won a status with this media event". It was, however, the Dadaist Duchamp, with his version of Mona Lisa with a mustache and goatee, who once drew the attention of "La Gioconda".



From the 50's, Pop art began to launch consumer products inspired by cultural icons. "The idea of the puzzles also gains significance. What is not explained because interest". Therefore, questions about who is and in what situation is the lady in the picture draws the attention of experts and ordinary people.

Thanks to marketing around the uncertainties, Mona Lisa has become one of the most reproduced images in contemporary society. It is emblazoned on T-shirts, pottery, calendars, refrigerator magnets. At the same time, thousands of artists worldwide, started their own readings.

"Playing this image is to inspire an eternal figure that goes through time,"

MONA LISA SMILE
IS AN OPTICAL ILLUSION

  Visual Perception, the smile painted by Leonardo da Vinci disappear when looking directly at it and reappears when the attention is fixed elsewhere in theframe.
In view of this researcher at Harvard University, the artist created the illusion to usein the sixteenth century, "intuitively," a trick that only now beginning to have a scientific basis.
Livingstone's theory relies on the fact that the human eye have a central vision, very good at recognizing details, and other peripheral, much less precise, but moreappropriate to capture the shadows.
"Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa's smile using shadows that we see much betterwith our peripheral vision," he said.
So to see the Mona Lisa smile is to look into your eyes or any other part of the picture, from the lips stay in the field of peripheral vision.
After publishing the theory that the expression is due to the measure of central vision had higher resolution than the peripheral, the researcher now studying why so many geniuses of painting had some degree of disability.

The August 22, 1911 the "Mona Lisa" was stolen. The French poet Guillaume Apollinaire was arrested on September 7 and put in jail on suspicion of theft.Pablo Picasso was arrested for questioning, but both were later released. It was believed then that the painting was lost forever. What happened was actually simpler than you thought then. The Louvre employee Vincenzo Perugia, believing that the painting belonged to Italy and should not be kept in France, just stole it out of the museum with it hidden under his coat. The painting was recovered when Peruggia tried to sell it to a Florence art dealer.




The "Mona Lisa" was then displayed in various Italian museums and returned to the Louvre in 1913. During the First World War and the painting was again removed from the Louvre and stored in a safe place.

In 1956, the bottom of the painting has been severely damaged after an acid attack. Several months later, there was again the target of an attack, this time by an individual who threw a stone. Since it is protected by a safety glass.

Identity Model

 
Leonardo in 1516, when he was invited by King Francis I of France to work in his court. The king would then have purchased the painting, which is now displayed in Fontainebleau and then in the Palace of Versailles. After the French Revolution, the picture was taken to the Louvre. The emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was a passionate part and had put him in his quarters. During the war with Prussia, the Mona Lisa and other parts of the Museum's collection, were hidden in a safe place.


Many art historians believe that the model used for the painting may have been the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, a wealthy silk merchant of Florence and a prominent figure in the Florentine government.

The first biographer of Da Vinci, Vasari, also a painter, describes the portrait as Mona Lisa, the wife of Francesco del Giocondoque Florentine gentleman. But little is known of his life, much less the story of his wife, Lisa Gherardini, born in 1479.

The alternate title to work, "La Gioconda", appears only for the first time in a text written in 1625, which refers to work as a portrait of a certain Gioconda. This reference does not contradict or support the hypothesis of the model being the wife of Giocondo, since, in Italian, "gioconda" can mean a cheerful woman.

Lillian Schwartz of Bell Labs scientist, suggests that the "Mona Lisa" is actually a self-portrait of Leonardo. This theory is based on the study of digital analysis of the facial features of Leonardo's face and features of the model work. Comparing a self-portrait of Leonardo with the woman in the picture, it appears that the characteristics of the faces align perfectly. Critics of this theory suggest that the similarities are due to the fact that both pictures were painted by the same person using the same style. The theory that "Mona Lisa" is a self-portrait raises in the book "The Da Vinci Code."

Historian Maike Vogt-Luerssen, Adelaide, suggested, after researching the subject for 17 years, the woman behind the famous smile is Isabella of Aragon, Duchess of Milan, for whom Leonardo da Vinci worked as court painter for 11years. The pattern of dark green dress of "Mona Lisa" indicates, according to this scholar, the model is a member of the House of Visconti-Sforza. The portrait of "Mona Lisa" has been the first official portrait of the new Duchess of Milan, painted in 1489. The author compares some 50 portraits of Isabella of Aragon, represented as the Virgin and St. Catherine of Alexandria (in which only the very Duchesse could serve as a model), and concludes that the resemblance to the "Mona Lisa" is evident.

 


Aesthetics

The "Mona Lisa" has set a standard for future portraits. The picture shows the model seen just above the bust, with a distant landscape visible in the background. Leonardo used a pyramid composition, where the model appears in the center with a calm and serene expression. The hands are folded in the center of the pyramidal base, reflecting the same light that illuminates the lap, neck and face. This study gives light to living surfaces an underlying geometry of spheres and circles, which accentuates the arc of her famous smile. Sigmund Freud interpreted the 'smile' as an underlying Leonardo's erotic attraction toward his mother, others described the smile as innocent, inviting, sad or even lascivious.The smiles of dubious interpretation were a common feature of the portraits during the time of Leonardo.



Who was or what the Mona Lisa?

Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda or, in French, La Joconde, or Mona Lisa del Giocondo), is the most striking and famous work of Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most eminent men of the Italian Renaissance.

His painting was started in 1503 and this work is the better artist conceived the technique of sfumato. The picture represents a woman with an introspective expression and a little shy. Your smile is restricted very seductive, even a little conservative. Your body represents the standard of beauty of the woman in Leonardo's day. This picture is probably the most famous portrait in art history, but the most famous and valuable part of the world.
