A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte - Georges Seurat (1884 - 1886)

The subject of Seurat's painting is typically impressionist: the artist depicts various Parisians, from different social backgrounds, spending Sunday on the islet of La Grande Jatte, between Neuilly-sur-Seine and Levallois-Perret, one of the preferred destinations of the time. It is therefore impossible not to think of subjects so dear to Renoir, Caillebotte, or Degas.
However, there is a tangible difference at a formal level, which makes us realize that the impressionist season is waning, giving way to a new movement, Post-Impressionism. In this work, we do not see the feeling of spontaneity that was evident in the impressionist pieces, usually painted en plein air. On the contrary, in A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, the composition is stiff, rigid: it is as if Seurat proudly asserts that his painting, despite its subject, has very little in common with the real world.
The work, in fact, anticipates one of the central ideas of the Avant-Gardes that will characterize the twentieth century: art does not necessarily have to imitate reality; on the contrary. Seurat employs two strategies to express this concept through painting. The first is the abandonment of strict perspective adherence, as Manet had already done in his Luncheon on the Grass. The second is the pointillist technique, which contributes to stiffening the composition, distancing it from the faithful reproduction of reality. The path is laid out: within a few decades, art will definitively cease to serve reality and will limit itself to evoking emotions. [source Frammentirivista]

Glasgow

Can't get more brand new than this

The Snuts
Album: W. L. (Deluxe version) (02/04/2021)

Finally, the debut album of one of the most promising new bands, which I've been following since their early EPs, has been released. Truly a great work, with various inspirations ranging from their trademark indie rock to funk, R&B, and ballads reminiscent of Kings of Leon. The idea of placing one of these ballads as the opening track is quite curious.

Favorite tracks: Glasgow/Always/Juan Belmonte/All your friends/Don't forget it (punk).

Track 3: Gli Uccelli (Remastered)
A sinuous orchestral introduction guides us into the piece, the first slow track of the album. The lyrics, compared to the two previous ones, do not feature overly complex imagery, but in their simplicity, they hide a very beautiful meaning: the birds that are the protagonists of the song are divine signals, these entities that exist above everything and therefore have a closer connection to the origin of things. Despite the fact that the text expresses this without secret meanings in the verses, we need to pause for two minutes to discuss the chorus: "They open their wings, dive down, land better than airplanes, change the world’s perspectives. Unpredictable flights and very fast ascents, imperceptible trajectories, codes of existential geometries," meaning the birds are not just a form of "divine presence" but are themselves the regulators of existence through the trajectory of their flight.
But one very important thing for the vitality of the piece is the base, which alternates between orchestral and elegant moments to more danceable passages that do not lose a bit of the orchestra’s presence and the elegance that characterizes it; everything explodes at the end of the second chorus when the piece gains speed until the end of the track.
I know this time the listening review is slightly shorter, but this is all I had to say about this track; an extra word, in my opinion, would have spoiled it, and finding other possible hidden meanings would have somewhat ruined the experience of the piece, which manages to thrive in its elegant musicality and its "simple" and poetic lyrics. Nothing more and nothing less.

Caravan - The Dabsong Conshirtoe
The favorite track, as well as suite, of Cunning Stunts. The subsequent "Blind Dog" would have pleasant pieces like "All the way" but they managed to move me again in 1982 with "Back to front," where they shake off a bit of excessive simplicity.
