PABLO PICASSO ~ WHAT IS AN ARTIST?
29th September 1955: Spanish painter Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973)
What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a painter, or his ears if he is a musician? …On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly on the alert to the heart-rending, burning, or happy events in the world, molding himself in their likeness.
Pablo Picasso

EDVARD MUNCH ~ A LIFE IN ANXIETY
“From the moment of my birth, the angels of anxiety, worry, and death stood at my side, followed me out when I played, followed me in the sun of springtime and in the glories of summer. They stood at my side in the evening when I closed my eyes, and intimidated me with death, hell, and eternal damnation. And I would often wake up at night and stare widely into the room: Am I in Hell?”
Edvard Munch

NESTOR MARTIN ~ POEM OF THE ATLANTIC/POEMA DEL ATLANTICO
Poema del Atlantico/La Noche (1917-1918 Poem of the Atlantic/Night by Nestor Martin- Fernandez de la Torre
This painting is part of the series called Poem of the Atlantic, painting of the Atlantic Ocean in various times of the day and night.
Nestor Martin (1887-1938) is the only Canaries painter, who being part of the symbolist and modernist European currents, left a major collection of work, one that is an essential part of these movements.
The first thing I did when I came to Gran Canaria was visiting Las Palmas and the wonderful Museo Nestor where one can admire Nestor’s collection of paintings. I was impressed and I still am!!! What a great painter coming from Gran Canaria…
