                             SET FIRE TO THE RAIN

let it fall, my heart, And as it fell, you rose to claim it, It _____ dark and I _____ over, Until you kiss___ my lips and you save___me, My hands, they _____ strong, but my knees _____ far too weak, To stand in your arms without falling to your feet, But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew, All the things you'd say, they _____ never true, never true, And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win, But I set fire to the rain, Watch___ it pour as I touch___ your face, Well, it burn___ while I cry___, 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name, When laying with you I could stay there, Close my eyes, feel you here forever, You and me together, nothing is better, 'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew, All the things you'd say, they _____ never true, never true, And the games you's play, you would always win, always win, But I set fire to the rain, Watch___ it pour as I touch___ your face, Well, it burn___ while I cry___, 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name I set fire to the rain, And I threw us into the flames, Well, I felt something die, 'Cause I knew that that _____  the last time, the last time, Sometimes I wake up by the door, And heard you calling, must be waiting for you, Even that when we're already over, I can't help myself from looking for you, I set fire to the rain, Watch___ it pour as I touch your face, Well, it burn___ while I cry___, 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name I set fire to the rain, And I threw us into the flames, Well, I felt something die, 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh, Oh, no, Let it burn, oh, Let it burn, Let it burn.

LA ISLA DEL TESORO: ARTE BRITÁNICO DE HOLBEIN A HOCKNEY

  

 

 

LET´S GO FOR A WALK TO:

 

  

(1) Britain Seen from the North, 1981,Tony Cragg ©Tate

monpetitmot.com/2012/12/08/la-isla-del-tesoro/ 

 

 Destruction and reform (1520 – 1620): Elisabeth painting, gold leaf, rescued religious statues of the brutallity of the reform. Featured artist: Hans Holbein the younger, Marcus Gheeraerts, Nicholas Hilliard and Isaac Oliver.

 

 

(2) Catherine Carey, Countess of Nottingham  (Robert Peake el Viejo, c. 1597)

 

 Revolution and Baroque ( 1620 – 1720): reviews the courtesan painting at the reigns, portraits of the high class leaving aside the solemnity of the previous period. Artists: Anthony van Dyck, Peter Lely, Godfrey Kneller, James Thornhill and Jan Siberechts.

 

 Society and satire (1720-1800): In this section we can observe daily scenes, where the pieces have some irony. There is a special section where you can see illustrations which tell moments of street, explicit, worldly, own of the satirical columns that there are in newspapers nowadays. Great precursors. Artists: Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough, Thomas Lawrence, James Gillray and Thomas Rowlandson.

 

(3) Vauxhall Gardens, Joshua Reynolds

 

(4) Drunk Society, Mortimer

 

 Landscapes of the mind (1760-1850): soft, huge, realistic and little accurate landscapes. Styles and elements of a same time intersect in this part of the exhibition. Very different, very intense. Artists: John Constable, George Stubbs, Turner, James Barry, Joseph Wright, William Blake and John Frederick Lewis, David Roberts.

Special detail to the pre-Raphaelite movement, so difficult to detect by dedicating its tendency to something own of previous centuries. Artists: John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt.

 

(5) Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still upon Gibeon, 1848 John Martin

 

 Realism and reaction (1850-1900): My favorite section. Brushing the perfection of the photo on occasions, in other ones, small precursors of Impressionism as the delicious work of James Abbott, which I couldn’t avoid to take it on a sheet format to my house. Artists: Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Coley Burne-Jones, Frederic Leighton and sculptures by George Frederic Watts and Alfred Gilbert.

 

(6) Nocturne: Blue and Silver – Cremome Lights 1872 James Abbott McNeil Whistler

 

 Modernity and tradition (1900-1940): Breaking with the guidelines by the beggins of the photography, are initiated in the -isms through traditional, war scenes in this case, characteristic of the war in the first half of the XIX century. Artists: Walter Richard Sckert, Henry Lamb or Spencer Gore, Wyndham Lewis, Duncan Grant, David Bomberg, Edward Wadsworth, Paul Nash or Edward Burra, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and Henry Moore.

 

 

(7) Escena de la guerra, Meredith Frampton

 

 A Happy World (1945-1980): Masters of the second half of the 20th century wrapped you in this last space dedicated to a variety of modern movements including Pop art. Artists: Oil paintings by Lucian Freud, R.B. Kitaj or Frank Auerbach, sculptures by Barbara Hepworth, Reg Butler or Anthony Caro. In this final space shine self-portraits of Francis Bacon and L.S. Lowry paintings.

 

 

(8) Portrait of Nick Wilder, 1966. David Hockney
