Some time ago we went to a mall to meet two spanish artists. Famous and very talented artists. The conversation they were having was very poetic and intimate. One of them was the painter Antonio López and the other one was cinema director Victor Erice. They made a film together called El sol del membrillo about 20 years ago. A film about failiure, about the impossibility of painting the ever changing light. They both agreed, the film is a slow tempo view on the slow progress Lopez was doing in his studio garden, capturing the color and the light of the fruits. In that talk, 10 years after finishing the film, López said that the experience was traumatic for him and his wife. What in the film seemed a real situation was absolutely fake in the real. Cinema is a complex art, requires 30 people around to make it happen. But the story is not this one, but a claim Erice would do to his producers. He claimed that art was above budget. To make a film happen, his producers have to trust him at all length. They had to relax and invest the money in his vision, in his art, without ruling the art direction. He remembered a film produced by Dino de Laurentis, where a talented director was going to shoot a scene for a super production about the myth of Noah. An epic film with hundreds of animals going into the big boat. The producer was very proud of bringing all sort of animals to a beach, big and small animals walking the beach a whole day. He was proud of the production he was about to finance. However, he was not so happy when he knew the director was only going to use the filmed footsteps of all those animals.

ART AND POETRY ARE THE SAME THING
NAMES AND TAGS ON THINGS ARE POLISEMIC
AS THEY ARE EVER CHANGING AND EVOLVING
WE LOVE ART HISTORY AND HERMENEUTICS

THIS POST IS A PIECE
