Michael Baxandall

He is the art historian of century XX. He was born in Augost, 10 of 1933 and died the 12 of the same month in Londres. This author is very approachable for know it work because his writing is clair and especific in his problematic. Telegraph say about him "always demanding of himself and his readers an undissembling clarity of thought and expression".

I meet Baxandall when I choose to read his book colled Patterns of Intention: On the Historical Explanation of Pictures (1985) for a course of cultur. My group was Bunny, Fran and Pipe and we liked very much because he had a form modest to talk about art (I think that is very difficult to fine in the authors) and sometimes he said sorry because he think that his expresions or tips about artistic style can change. But I not talk about his specifically work.

Michael Baxandall, for to refer to a period (or artistic style) only he define a cultur and social context with its influences and later he start to redefine a artistic movement or artistic period, etc. He enhance the influences of the cultur for example in the artist for the talk develop your work.

Is very important to fine this historian, we think very much about century XIV, XV and XVI respect to the art and cultur.

A new web page

I visited the web page of the BBC London and I discovered a place very nice. In this page I can write, listen and learn english easily. It's very entertaining and full: there are news of every world, videos, series, talks, intoaccount about tips for example "the music in the classromm", etcetera.
I liked know this page because I can exercise the pronunciation of he english language and also to tune my ear. I like very much the little series about tips in english. I discovered tips about the colour blue, the sport in general, the body parts, etcetera. The men how is the star of the program ir very entertaining and very clear. Really its very easy to understand him.
Also I visite a soap opera called "The Faltmates" where it can see and read the dialogues of the character.
So is more easy to understand this language because there are a lots options that stimulate the learning.
Also I can informed about the world and to know more about other places. Obviously this knowledge is superficial, but is a good start...
While I can soak me of this language visiting this page.

The earthquake

Really I felt boring because it was very higth, but I think that in the situation I maintains in calm. I was in my home sleeping with my boyfriend and my son was in other room.
When started the earthquake, Carlos, my boyfriend, wake up me and my mam and we went to search our sun. We had that lean against the wall to arrive to the door. Carlos took him in his arm and I´give a blanket. My mam opened the door. We dont talk anymore, only we wait that stoped.
During the earthquake we could´nt walk, It was very roaring. I felt that house it would fall.
Later we were awake for too much time, our son remained sleeping.
Its was bad comunications and obviously we hadn´t line telephone. Carlos had comunication with him family with urgently because their live in a old house and very flawed.
Finally Carlos be connected with him family and late of ten days it be regularized the line telephone.
