Entre as muitas imagens e obras de arte que tem o Fauno como tema, a escultura de James Pradier, Satyre et Bacchante, de 1834 transborda sensualidade, agressividade e poder, apenas uma de suas facetas.James Pradier nasceu em Geneve no fim do seculo XVIII, mas foi em Paris que iniciou sua carreira artistica, suas exposicoes e premios: ganhou um premio em um salao de artes, que lhe rendeu 4 anos de estudos em Roma. Estudou com Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres e conviveu com os poetas Victor Hugo, Theophile Gautier e Gustave Flaubert. Pradier tinha um estilo neoclassico e ao contrario dos escultores da epoca, acompanhava a finalizacao de seus trabalhos. A inauguracao da obra Satyre et Bacchante, causou um escandalo no salao, e uma recusa de compra do governo oficial.A obra encontra-se no Museu do Louvre em Paris.

Inspirado pela musica em suas composicoes, aqui o contrario acontece: Winger inspira-se no artista para a construcao de uma obra musical."Kip Winger Enters Classical Music World With Tribute to Choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky"Hes come a long way since Seventeen. Once lumped in with the late 80s hair metal acts, Kip Winger is still making music, but these days hes expanded his scope to working in a different genre. Winger has announced plans to release Conversations With Nijinsky, Ghosts, A Parting Grace a four-movement classical music tribute to the artistry of dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky.Conversations is the centerpiece of Wingers debut album as a classical composer, as he worked closely with the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra and conductor Martin West in bringing his musical vision to life. The disc was recorded at Skywalker Sound with the assistance of Grammy-winning recording engineer Leslie Ann Jones.The album also features a recording of Wingers ballet, Ghosts, which has been performed all over the world by the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra and is now making its way to CD after a nine-year period.Martins been conducting Ghosts with the San Francisco Ballet for about five years and they actually performed it all over the world, so in getting to know Martin, we discussed making an album and actually got it done, says Winger in the teaser video above. We recorded Conversations With Nijinsky, Ghosts and a new piece that I wrote this last month.Dame Tamara Nijinsky says of Wingers work, Kip Winger has captured my fathers heart and soul. Many have been inspired by Nijinsky in words and dance, but no one, until now, in music. Nijinsky was inspired by the music he heard. And now, Kip Winger, reminds us of Nijinskys genius with his work.Fonte:http://www.kipwinger.com/http://loudwire.com/kip-winger-classical-music-tribute-choreographer-vaslav-nijinsky/http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgoiVnVBedvwbVb_iV3RFrg Download Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 Portable Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2
