Hearts

Original:

Author: Andy Warhol
Hearts. 1979-84

Warholova srdíčka mě provází už necelých 10 let, jak je vidno: nejdříve vznikla fotografie Olivera v bříšku, pak Natálky a posléze Viky...no a nakonec jsem to vše (myslím tím děti a srdíčka:)) dala dohromady...

Warhol's hearts have been with me for almost 10 years, as shown: on the first photo I was expecting Oliver, on the second one Natty, on the last one is Viky (8 months old). And finally - this week -there was time to collect everything (I mean children and hearts) together...

“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”

Midsummer Eve

Original:

Author: Edward Robert Hughes
Midsummer Eve. 1908

Moc krásný obraz, jen na jeho realizaci jsme potřebovali více než týden. Nejdříve jsme museli dát dohromady skřítky...Díky sousedčiným dcerkám jsme měli k dispozici pár Barbín, díky Oliverovi a jeho oblibě Happy Meal několik figurek šmoulů a zbytek skřítků donesla Barunka ze školky...
Lampionky jsme nakonec vytvořili ze svíček zapíchaných do chlebů. Nutno dodat, že během focení  nám nic ani nikdo neshořel!:)

This picture was chosen by friend of mine, good choice! The only problem we had was where to get the elfs...Thanks my neighbours' daughters I got Barbie dolls, Oliver got some Smurfs from Happy Meals and Bara made some elfs in the kindergarten... I could not find the x- mass lights so we had to use the birthday candles stucked up in the bread...It should be noted that during shooting no one and nothing was burnst!:)

Dnes večer jdu na divadlo do hospůdky, na Racka do Balbínky, představení bude celé v ruštině doplněno autorskými písněmi...
Tak zůstaneme v ruském duchu a představím vám Malyavina, žáka Ilyi Repina.

Today I am going to see The Seagull from Anton Chekhov. The play will be produced with russian actors in the pub and my mum will take a part there too... :)
So it is time to introduce you Russian artist  Malyavin, the  student of Ilya Repin! 

Portrait of Nina Komurdzhyan

Original:

Author: Martiros Saryan
Portrait of Nina Komurdzhyan. 1917

Právě mám rozečtenou autobiografii od Charlese Aznavoura, který je původem Armén, ale jak všichni víme, tak se proslavil jako francouzský šansoniér...výborně napsané vzpomínky plné zajímavých setkání a historek.  

Myslím, že arménský malíř tu na Rembrandted Kids ještě nebyl...

I am just reading the Autobiography of Charles Aznavour, the Armenian singer who is well-known as French chansonier... If you have time, let's listen to  Non, je n'ai rien oublié, or  La Bohéme...great songs!

Think it is time for the Armenian painter to be presented here!:)

Bad Boy Good Girl

Original:

Author: Jack Vettriano
Bad Boy Good Girl. 1994

Tak tyto šatičky nosila Natálčina babička, když jí byly tři roky, což bylo před.....lety. Bohužel nemohu být konkrétnější, jelikož bych pak prozradila její věk, a to se přece nesluší!:)

The dress Natty is wearing is dress of her grandma, she was wearing it ....years ago..

Unfortunately I could not specify the years, cause we ought not talk about the woman"s age...:), but I am really surprised it looks like new one!

"This  modern painter outsells even the masters!
Scottish painter Jack Vettriano is a self taught artist who started his career after receiving a set of water colors from his girlfriend for his 21st birthday. Vettriano's work has been compared to painters Walter Sickert and Edward Hopper with a strong film noir influence – his work is reminiscent of movie stills, each canvas capturing an intimate, emotionally charged vignette. He was awarded an OBE for Services to the Visual Arts and was the subject of the documentary "Jack Vettriano: The People's Painter."                        eu.art.com

Gentleman Looking at Something. 1960

Tak od tohoto focení Viky zná chuť lízátka! :)

                                                                                                                                          "I am a simple man, and I use simple materials: ivory black, vermilion, prussian blue, yellow ochre, flake white and no medium. That's all I've ever used in my paintings. I like oils [...] I like a medium you can work into over a period of time."                                                             

On 26 June 2013 a retrospective opened at the Tate Britain in London, his first there, scheduled to run until 20 October.
