Lopera e costruita come un dialogo platonico e rappresenta tre personaggi: Socrate, Fedro e il dottor Eryximachus, che disquisiscono sul rapporto tra danza e bellezza, danza e poesia, danza e amore, giungendo alla conclusione che la danza conduce alla verita ed e custode della bellezza.Lame et la danse fu pubblicato in Francia nel 1923. Lopera uno dei due dialoghi filosofici dellautore, laltro e Eupalino o dellarchitettura che pubblicheremo nel gennaio 2023 nella traduzione di Raffaele Contu e costruita come un dialogo platonico e rappresenta tre personaggi: Socrate, Fedro e il dottor Eryximachus (Erissimaco), che trovandosi riuniti in una festa incessante, disquisiscono sul rapporto tra danza e bellezza, danza e poesia, danza e amore.È cosa nota, avendolo precisato leditore della prima edizione francese, che lopera doveva occupare esattamente lo spazio di circa 120.000 caratteri, in base alle esigenze del formato, del carattere tipografico scelto, e dellimpaginazione, margini e decorazioni in alto e in basso nella pagina. Non ce dubbio che questo limite di spazio abbia influito sulla costruzione del connubio mirabile messo in opera dallautore tra significato e musicalita della parola.La vita e una donna che danza dice Socrate, che in questo dialogo impersona la poesia, e questo connubio tra femminilita e ballo e il suo significato ineffabile, crea la musica per il continuo mutamento vitale del corpo. In questo lavoro, Valery riflette linfluenza benefica, salutare e inebriante che la pratica della danza risveglia nellanima dellosservatore. Non sono trascurabili in questottica gli incontri artistici e filosofici che lautore andava consumando in quel periodo: da un punto di vista pittorico certamente Degas e filosoficamente non puo non colpire che Valery leggeva da ventanni, quando scrisse Lame et la danse, le traduzioni di testi di Nietzsche che Henri Albert Haug pubblicava sul Mercure de France. E su queste letture Valery rifletteva scrivendo note e lettere. Dobbiamo a Barbara Scapolo linteressante edizione italiana di queste Lettres et notes sur Nietzsche, pubblicate in Francia nel 1974. La celebre frase di Nietzsche, diventata patrimonio universale anche per chi non ha mai letto il filosofo tedesco Bisogna avere un caos dentro di se, per generare una stella danzante viene decostruita da Valery che prima riordina il caos tramite il linguaggio dialogante, che racchiudeva il caos dentro di se, e da questo nuovo ordine filosofico scaturisce la danza. Valery conosceva e studiava anche Bergson e pare quasi che tenga presente alcuni parametri bergsoniani in questo suo lavoro, rimuovendo attivamente ogni idea preconcetta che si frapponga tra lo spirito dei tre personaggi che discutono e loggetto della loro osservazione.Lo scopo della danza coincide con la danza stessa, non e possibile operare alcuna distinzione; sperimenta quindi in se lAssoluto e la sua realta, diviene paradigma universo. Danzare significa fusione delle dimensioni fisica, psichica e spirituale, espressione di una realta unica, divenendo cosi un simbolo, lespressione coerente di tutti gli elementi della persona. Per Valery la danza e estatica, si muove nel presente quotidiano ed e di volta in volta capace di rendere presente leterno.

Comédie en trois actes représentés pour la première fois à la Comédie des Champs-Élysées, le 8 novembre 1929, avec la mise en scène de Louis Jouvet.

Verso mezzogiorno il tempo improvvisamente cambio.Un forte vento caldo aveva spinto nella valle nuvoloni neri come fuliggine e la temperatura si eraimprovvisamente alzata. Lampi accecanti e tuoni assordanti si susseguirono per parecchi minutie comincio a piovere. Piovve per due giorni di seguito; come per incanto la neve scomparve dai tettie dalle stradine, incanalandosi verso valle.LEsaro e il Crispo erano in piena

Seduto davanti allo specchio nel camerino, dietro le quinte del teatro Saffo di Madrid, nellattesa di entrare in scena per lultima volta, Zacharie Levy si rivolge ad un pubblico immaginario e racconta la sua vita. Nato nel 1950 in una prestigiosa e ricca famiglia di ebrei francesi, proprietari di un marchio legato al mondo della houte couture, Zacharie trascorre i primi anni della sua vita alla ricerca di un equilibrio tra i vecchi e i nuovi modelli della societa parigina del dopoguerra. Quando, appena maggiorenne, la sua strada sincrocia con quella di un mistico, che lo inizia alle letture esoteriche della Cabala e allo studio comparativo delle religioni, la sua vita prende una piega sorprendente che lo porta da una parte allaltra del mondo, da Gerusalemme a New York e ancora altrove. Apertura alla francese e un romanzo introspettivo, cinico, disincantato, ricco di colpi di scena, con un finale inatteso e commovente.

In "Sir Joshua Reynolds Discourses," the renowned 18th-century painter provides a profound exploration of artistic principles, aesthetics, and the role of the artist in society. Written in a didactic and engaging style, these discourses reflect Reynolds dedication to Enlightenment ideals, emphasizing the moral responsibility of the artist to convey beauty and virtue in their work. The text addresses various facets of painting, including composition, color theory, and the significance of classical references, serving as both a manifesto and a guide for aspiring artists. Reynolds insightful observations situate his work within the broader context of neoclassicism and its tension with evolving romantic ideals in art during his time. Joshua Sir Reynolds, a founding member of the Royal Academy, was instrumental in shaping 18th-century British art. His experiences as a portraitist for the aristocracy and involvement in the artistic community inform the depth and authority of his writings. His commitment to educating future generations and his belief in art as a vehicle for moral and intellectual development are encapsulated in these discourses, which reflect his efforts to elevate the status of painting in a rapidly changing cultural landscape. "Sir Joshua Reynolds Discourses" is an essential read for anyone interested in the philosophy of art, providing invaluable insights into the techniques and thought processes of one of Britains most influential painters. It is a timely reminder of the enduring power of artistic expression and the ever-relevant dialogue on the responsibilities of the artist.

In "Frondes Agrestes: Readings in Modern Painters," John Ruskin offers an intricate exploration of the intersection between nature and art, delving deep into the philosophical and aesthetic principles that underpin his renowned work, "Modern Painters." Ruskins masterful prose combines lyrical beauty with analytical rigor, reflecting the Romantic ideals of the era while engaging with the emerging modernist sensibilities. Through critical readings, Ruskin addresses the moral and spiritual dimensions of landscape painting, emphasizing the importance of fidelity to nature and the artists emotional response. His treatise is both a manifesto and a critique, cleverly dissecting the implications of artistic representation in a rapidly industrializing world. John Ruskin (1819-1900), a Victorian polymath and social thinker, was profoundly influenced by his early experiences in the English countryside and his intensive studies in the visual arts. His extensive travels throughout Europe and his deep engagement with both literature and philosophy shaped his distinctive views on art and society. An impassioned advocate for the moral role of art, Ruskin believed in the transformative power of beauty, which permeates his writing, pushing against the constraints imposed by the industrial revolution and fostering a renewed appreciation for nature. "Frondes Agrestes" is an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of art criticism and ecological perspectives in literature. It challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between nature and artistic expression while contextualizing Ruskins profound influence on both art history and environmental thought. This book resonates with contemporary debates about sustainability and aesthetic responsibility, making it a timely reflection for modern audiences.

In "Fictitious & Symbolic Creatures in Art," John Vinycomb embarks on a fascinating exploration of the myriad of mythical beings and symbolic animals that have captured the human imagination throughout history. Through meticulous research and a keen eye for detail, Vinycomb examines the roles these creatures have played in various cultures, unveiling their significance in mythology, religion, and art. His literary style is rich and descriptive, blending scholarly analysis with accessible prose, making it suitable for both academic and general audiences. Vinycombs work is firmly situated within the larger tradition of art historical scholarship, drawing connections between visual art and the sociocultural contexts that give rise to these imaginative figures. John Vinycomb, a noted figure in the field of art history and a passionate advocate for the appreciation of folklore in visual culture, brings a wealth of knowledge to this subject. His extensive studies in both the historical and symbolic dimensions of art reflect his deep-seated interest in how fantastic imagery reflects human beliefs and fears. This book stems from his belief that the fantastical is not merely an escape from reality but a lens through which we can examine deeply rooted human truths. I wholeheartedly recommend "Fictitious & Symbolic Creatures in Art" to anyone interested in the intersection of art, mythology, and cultural history. Vinycombs insightful analysis not only enriches our understanding of these enchanting beings but also invites readers to rethink the real-world implications of the fantastical in art.

In "A Childs Guide to Pictures," Charles H. Caffin masterfully introduces young readers to the world of visual art, weaving together insightful explanations with accessible language. The book is structured to foster an appreciation for art by breaking down complex concepts into engaging narratives, complemented by an array of illustrations. Caffins literary style is characterized by simplicity and clarity, making art approachable for children while situating the work within the broader context of art education during the early 20th century, a time when visual literacy began to gain importance in the educational curriculum. Charles H. Caffin was a notable critic, educator, and author whose experiences in the art world informed his writings. Having immersed himself in the study of art and its appreciation, Caffin was passionate about making art accessible to all, especially children. His pedagogical approach reflects his belief that the understanding of art can significantly enhance a childs emotional and intellectual development, bridging the gap between artistic expression and youthful curiosity. I highly recommend "A Childs Guide to Pictures" to parents, educators, and anyone interested in nurturing a childs artistic sensibility. Caffins engaging prose invites readers to explore the beauty of art, making it an essential addition to any childs library that aims to cultivate creativity and critical thinking.

In "A Study of Splashes," A. M. Worthington delves into the intricate dynamics of human emotion and nature through a lens of vibrant imagery and lyrical prose. This innovative work interweaves personal narratives with rich metaphors and anecdotal reflections, embodying the poetic explorations characteristic of modernist literature. Worthingtons exploration transcends mere observation; the splashes symbolize the ephemeral moments in life that evoke profound understanding, making the text resonate with psychological depth and aesthetic beauty amidst the backdrop of contemporary existentialism. A. M. Worthington, known for her diverse literary oeuvre, has often drawn inspiration from the complexities of human experiences and the natural world surrounding her. Her educational background in psychology and literature profoundly influences her writings, allowing her to explore themes of consciousness and emotion with poignant clarity. Having lived in various landscapes, Worthingtons appreciation for natures subtleties shines through in this work, revealing her ability to merge intellectual thought with emotional resonance. Readers seeking a transformative literary experience will find "A Study of Splashes" captivating; Worthingtons ability to capture the essence of fleeting moments invites reflection and connection. This book is not merely read but felt, offering a rich tapestry of insights that leave an indelible mark on the heart and mind.
