Don Ricardo Salinas Pliego said that an X-ray examination of a work from RSP Collections had revealed a painting beneath the "Portrait of Moctezuma II." According to his interpretation, the original image depicted a leader of Tenochtitlan with authority, but the person who paid for the work ordered it to be repainted to present Moctezuma as submissive. Salinas Pliego invited the public to see the work in the exhibit "Cabinet of Curiosities" at the University of Liberty, and to consult the collection on the library's microsite. https://t.co/BnOwsroYC3 #Historia #Arte #Tenochtitlan (translated)

A vertente conceptual do meu arquivo fotográfico estrutura-se em três categorias: séries, ensaios, projectos. As séries são os conjuntos mais abrangentes, a partir dos quais podem nascer ensaios e projectos. O meu mais recente livro, "Ainda Há Luz nas Janelas", que será apresentado no próximo dia 5 de Novembro, nasce precisamente de uma série intitulada "Retrato de Portugal — Quantos Retratos São Precisos para Fazer um Retrato?". A imagem que aqui apresento integra outra série, a que chamo "Fotopinturas". O título é deliberadamente mordaz e remete para uma questão antiga: a tendência para avaliar a fotografia segundo critérios que pertencem à pintura. Em 1859, Charles Baudelaire, no seu texto "O Público Moderno e a Fotografia", criticou a crescente valorização da fotografia enquanto instrumento de reprodução fiel da realidade, defendendo a autonomia da criação artística e a distinção entre as diferentes linguagens. Não se trata de lhe atribuir a expressão «fotopinturas», mas de reconhecer na sua crítica uma questão que permanece actual. Passou mais de um século e meio e, apesar de toda a evolução técnica e conceptual da fotografia, continuamos a cometer o mesmo erro: julgar uma imagem fotográfica pela sua aproximação à pintura, como se a fotografia precisasse de imitar outra linguagem para justificar a sua existência. A fotografia tem os seus próprios referentes, a sua própria história e as suas próprias possibilidades expressivas. Quando a avaliamos exclusivamente à luz de critérios alheios à sua natureza, não estamos a aprofundar a compreensão da fotografia. Estamos apenas a limitar aquilo que somos capazes de reconhecer nela.. #RuiCamposFotografia #Fotopinturas #Fotografia #LinguagemFotográfica #PensamentoFotográfico #EstéticaFotográfica #HistóriaDaFotografia #CharlesBaudelaire #FotografiaContemporânea #FotografiaDeAutor #ImagemFotográfica #TeoriaDaFotografia #FotografiaComoLinguagem #ArteEFotografia

In the time we live, we have lost track of two qualities that make a civilized personality possible: lightness, which allows humor without malice; and self-discipline, which gives shape to our bewilderment. Any effort that requires attention—painting, drawing, writing—can train these qualities, in my opinion. #NobelLiteratura #AnneCarson #LiteraturaContemporánea (translated)
