ロートレック展 

今日は東京・赤阪のサントリー美術館へ。
開館記念特別展「ロートレック展 パリ、美しき時代を生きて」(Toulouse-Lautrec et la vie parisienne)で、19世紀末の花の都パリを楽しんだ。

意図的なのか、印象主義的な油彩ではいつも女性の肖像画が実物より美しくない。
特に娼婦や踊り子たちは、生活感に溢れ、でっぷりと太っていて顔も醜く描かれているものが中心。
特徴を強調して生々しく描いているのかもしれないけれど、描かれた女性はあまり嬉しくないかもと思った。
やはりポスター作品がよかった♪
雰囲気も好きだし、黒猫、影、黒い服など、黒の使い方がとてもいい。
浮世絵の技法などの影響が見られるということで、喜多川歌麿の絵も飾ってあった。 対比してよく観てみると、なるほどいろいろな発見がある!それにしても浮世絵はやっぱり素晴らしい。 もっと歌麿が見たかった。

Yochico : Please... write a few summary in English or in French...

The translations from Japanese to Spanish are very bad.

Do you like Tolouse Lautrec?

Hola,Richard. Lo escribo español.
Es muy fácil; Miré una exhibición de Lautrec. Me gustó. ¿Y usted?

Y bebí el vino español el domingo!
Mire una fotografía del 27 de enero.
Buenas noches! Chico

Spain 16h 16 min.

I been looking for the wine. I have never heard or it. I see that it is making for a big cellar.

I see that it has been making with Tempranillo grapes.

Tempranillo grape are the most popular grape in Spain.

If you can, buy wine of the Rioja. Send me the name of the wines and it´s prices. I can help you to choose.

First lesson:

Red wines: Rioja and Ribera del Duero.

Rose: Navarra.

Whites: Rueda, Penedés, Galicia and Txacolis. And with bubles the Cava.

Don´t expend your money in other Spanish wines.

Agur.Chico

Richard,
Thank you for your lesson in Spanish wine! I had been looking for good Rioja wine, but only found Vino de la Tierra de Extremadura by chance at a wine shop, where the manager recommended it to me. Other Spanish wines I found near my home were Vino de Mesa and very cheep ones, which made me hesitate about buying one. It was easy to find several Cavas, but not good Spanish wines...

Ribera del Duero is Deminación de Origen de Extremadura. Is it the second best after Rioja? I'd love to try red wine of Rioja or Ribera del Duero when I can. I liked Tempranillo a lot. Gracias!

Spain (Vitoria) 11h. 15min.

Hello:

Ribera de Duero isn´t in Extremadura.

Ribera de Duero is in Castilla (Burgos, Valladolid). The best wine there is : Vega Sicilia. 150 or more euros for bottle. I haven´t tasted. It´s so expensive for me.

Don´t drink Vino de Mesa. It´s better you save money and buy better wines.Better one good, than tree normal.

Why? Because that wines have poor quality. Poor quality, more chemistry, more chemistry, more head ache.
Chico drink always wine of small cellars. Roger Goulard is an example. They do 30000 bottles of Rose.

How much does Celtus cost?

Agur. Nire japoniako laguna.

(Good bye my Japanese friend)

I see. Gracias Richard!
Celtus was 1680 yen, about 10 euros, at the shop, though I bought it a little cheaper than that.
Try Gran Cuvée(Extra Brut)of Roger Goulart when you have a chance. It is said to be better than French champagne.
They let it mature for a longer period than that of champagne, while the price is half. I'd like to have your comments on it some day.
Agur, Richard!
