Wise words on nature, science and art
PaintingI am interested in art history (painting specifically), including its socio-historical background, of the 18-19th century. I particularly like the French and Russian schools (think neoclassicism, romanticism, realism) -- some specific artists are shown/quoted here. An extended list of personal favorites includes:
I am interested in drawing (studying e.g the plates from Bargue's «Cours De Dessin») and oil painting. All I know of the latter and how to see, I learned from Paul Reuther. MiscellaneaAlthough I do not read as avidly as before, I enjoy reading supernatural tales as escapades from physics. I have read Edgar A. Poe, Edogawa Rampo, Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood and H. P Lovecraft. My favorite story by HPL is «The Color Out of Space». My favorite fictional book is «Gary Lineker's Book of Ghost Stories». It's very scary altogether -- as much as the beast. Also, I am a fan of the «most important of the least important things in life», football. I am a supporter for Paysandu Sport Club, the most traditional and successful team from Northern Brazil.
