Man Ray

Today I´ll talk about the best in my field but is a difficult question because I like many artist. Besides I consider that exist many artworks important for the development for History of art. Anyway, in my opinion the twenty century was the most important for arts.

So you have no idea what is? Well is Man Ray. I like his work! I choose this artist because his works changed the way people see and do photograph. Moreover, in my point of view I think that the photograph was make art when is experimental and this artist is experimental and he shows the other face of photograph.




Man Ray in the creation of his visual poetry... 

A menber of the Dadá art movement and the only american member of the Paris Surrealist movement. Man Ray considered himself an artist and thought of photography as a medium of artistic expression when used for more than reproduction.  In describing his work, Man Ray once said, “I paint what can not be photographed. I photograph what I do not wish to paint.”

Man Ray in his work to create a Surrealist vision of the female form during the 20`. He began to utilize photography  in his work , for example:  by means of as solarization over enlargement development for to create a dreamlike effect in his artwork. Also his use of the Rayograph helped him to create a new profound look to his photography, stressing the importance of light and shadow rather than the object itself.  These  images create by placing objects on light sensitive photographic paper and then exposing the paper to light.

As Vasarely said before existed the artist genius, now, there is a coexistence of researchers.

Suicide or not suicide. That is the question...


Today I`ll talk about news of my country. So this news is controversial in Chili and others countries.  In my opinion this subject is difficult for me because I`m sensible with case.
                                     
So in these days all talk about exhumation of Allende´s body.  The last May 23, news showed us pictures of the grave just in timewhen they removed the body.

Well, this news surprised me because I never would have thought that something like this would happen. Anyway this happen is good for chilean people and for our history. Then in my opinion the case of Allende president is complicated because I think our history is not clear. So I hope the goverment and the news talk us the truth.

The questions arose as a result of an audit report conducted in 2008, according to which Allende's body had two hits, leaving open the possibility he was killed by the military, which seems unlikely, according to the testimonies of those who accompanied him until the last moment, or was assisted in a suicide attemp. Salvador Allende's body was initially taken to a cemetery in Viña del Mar and later, in 1990, the mausoleum that bears his name in the cemetery of the capital. Never found the assault rifle AK-47 with allegedly shot and the bullet that had to be extracted in the first autopsy performed by the military coup.

Furthemore, I believe in the truth of facts and at the moment we only know that he died on 11 september in 1973.
