Salvador Dali's Original Lithographs

They finally arrived over a week ago and I couldn’t wait to tell you ALL about it!

My two Salvador Dali’s Original Lithographs: Surrender of Breda, Salvador Dali’s Interpretation of Diego Vealzquez's original painting and The Black Devil. Here is some excerpts on Diego Velazquez:

VELÁZQUEZ, Diego Rodriguez de Silva y (b. 1599, Sevilla, d. 1660, Madrid)
The Surrender of Breda (Las Lanzas)
before 1635
Oil on canvas, 307 x 367 cm
Museo del Prado, Madrid
It was in 1625, ten years before this picture was painted, that Justin von Nassau, the commanding officer of Breda, surrendered the city to the Genoese Ambrosio Spinola, commander of the Spanish forces. Breda was one of the border fortresses of the Netherlands, a military base which had long been a bone of contention, alternately seized by the Spaniards or returned to the Princes of Orange. After a long siege Spinola learned from an intercepted letter that the defendants were in desperate straits, short of both equipment and food, and he therefore proposed that von Nassau should freely surrender rather than continue the bloodshed. The proposal was accepted and the army withdrew in good order, keeping their goods and some of their arms. The citizens did not suffer any harm at all. This victory was one of the last triumphs achieved by Spain in the period when she was accounted a great world power, and it was also one of the fine instances when humanism prevailed even in times of war.
The main problem of a history painting featuring a large number of figures is the question of how to handle the crowd scenes. Velázquez initially tackles this difficulty by dividing the picture plane into two levels - a higher area of action on which the main event is acted out as on a stage, and an area below it in which we see the city and harbour of Breda and the sea. The stage-like situation is further emphasized by various foreground elements. The two military leaders - the defeated commandant of Breda handing over the keys of the fortress to the Spanish commander Spinola - are immediately recognizable as the protagonists because the view opens up behind them towards the otherwise hidden background, whereas to the right and left the respective military entourage is grouped like stage extras. Yet Velázquez does not portray them as anonymous soldiers. Amongst the group of Spanish victors brandishing their lances, we can make out just as many individual expressions of exhaustion as we can amongst the resigned group of defeated Dutch soldiers.
It is thought that the composition of the picture derives from a contemporary book-illustration of the Bible; this is certainly true of the two central figures of the commanders. In its colouring - the brown masses of the horses, the blue and red garments of the soldiers - we see the influence of Venetian painting, particularly that of Tintoretto.

And last but not least my other lithograph, The Black Devil:

Something Juicy: 68-69

Number 69." But wait there is more! Phamouse69 Sexy Magazine And there is even more! As in: Summer of 69 Song
How about something on 68? STS-68? Or even this: The year of the four emperors: Galba (68), Otho (69) and Vitellius (69) all govern a very short time before Vespasian becomes emperor. ... 68 on Wiki or perhaps


But for real, jokes aside:

One of my readers (the few that I suppose have) has asked me to TELL him/her something JUICY about myself! I hardly know him/her and intact I’m not very fund of him (I’m just going to refer to IT as HE, just for the sake of arguments.) He knows who he is and I’m not sure you care. A while back, he left, as comment, a set of URL to some grouse sexual sites! I still haven’t checked it for myself, but from what I’ve gathered, according to a friend of mine, it’s just a GARDEN VARIETY porn site. Well, I left it intact, since I strongly believe in Freedom of Speech! But, I realize some people were offended by it. As for myself, I wasn’t even slightly curious to check it out for myself. I’ve seen them before and they DON’T DO MUCH for me. I think of SE Swimsuit issue more desirable or even the gorgeous ladies in the Vitoria Secret catalogues as MUCH more JUICY as any of those porn site which demonstrate and assume men are like animals (perhaps close cousin, apes or orangutans) and women just like to GET ALL NIGHT LONG and THE HARDER and the BIGER THE BETTER bang! And of course they show off SEMAN (come) dripping from their faces, lips or other desirable/sexy (according to their philosophy of what is sexy or what turns MEN on are showed off and displayed like women have a popsicle in a hot afternoon summer day!)


Well, I hate to write about this and I apologize and agree that this subject may be TOO private to some or even distasteful and disgusting to argue about. I agree, but it’s my blog and I’m not arguing BACK with anyone, so there you have it. I think I’ll let the secret out. I adore Heidi Klum! Well, she is not the only one, but ONE example should suffice! Actually she is married now and has three kids, but still looks fantastic. She was on Leno a few nights ago and was adorable and interesting too and when one of the other guests started talking about premature ejaculations, she put both index fingers in here ears and started to sing to block her ears and not hear the rest of the conversations! That was very cute to me. I think she is still married to Seal!

Well, my point or my reason to talk or mention this is that I believe, what’s sexy or juicy to one person may not be as exciting to another. Don’t want to get too philosophical and beat this horse to death! You know what I mean and if you don’t just continue reading. Here is a quick joke: You all know what 69 stand for, right? Quest: “What about 68?” Ans: You give me one and I’ll owe you one:) Sex Position 69

These are the FIVE (actually many more) things that I find juicy, exciting, or even moving: The Victoria Secret catalogue, The Beethoven Symphony No. 9, a good movie, a beautiful scenery (beach or greenery), a NEW GADGET, well, there are many more to name and I don’t want to take the next few pages to recall all of my fetishes or my DEEP SECRETS (there really aren’t many!) Let me clarify one thing about naked women! I think, they should be covered more so to leave more to the imagination! I really don’t like g-sting bikinis either! I don’t like men model in bulgy underwear either! Now you know it! Some modesty, I think, will go a long way!

I just like life & I try to enjoy and have a great day any day I can by surrounding myself with things that matter to me & there are endless things that MOVE me and get my attention (a great painting, a beautiful song, a SMART person, intellectual but not boring conversation – oh well, I said I will not name them all, but here I go. So I shall stop it right here!) Left out Porsches & Motorcycles!

Here is more about Heidi, for those who get it:
Born June 1, 1973, in Bergische Gladbach, Germany, Heidi Klum catapulted to the supermodel scene when she got the cover of Sports Illustrated's 1998 Swimsuit Issue as an unknown at the time.

All this came as a disappointing shock to Caprice Bournet, the supermodel who assumed she had the cover wrapped up. Ever since, Heidi has been flooded with work, the 5'9 35-24-34 vixen had not even thought of modeling until a friend coaxed her into entering a modeling competition called Model '92, after winning several rounds on her way, she eventually was crowned. She then signed a 3 year contract with Metropolitan and has grown ever larger in the modeling scene with each successive year. Heidi was involved in the well publicized Victoria's Secret internet broadcast, largely hyped but much too grainy and miniature to appreciate any of the girl's beauty. 1999 brought another appearance in the SI Swimsuit Issue and also brought Heidi in front of the TV camera's with a 3 episode role in Spin City, in which she played Michael J. Fox's love interest. The year before she saw a bit part in the movie 54, based on the old New York nightclub, Studio 54. … Google her and you shall find the rest!



And for those who also get Porsches:
The 2008 Porsche Limited Edition Boxster that was first shown privately at the New York Auto Show last April will go on sale this September with a base price of $49,990 (Original MSRP $45,800). The higher-performance Limited Edition Boxster S, meanwhile, will start at $59,990 (Original MSRP $55,700).

Dipped in the same eye-popping orange paint as the 911 GT3 RS, the Limited Edition Boxsters also feature the SportDesign package that adds front spoiler lips, a new automatically extending rear spoiler, and slightly altered rear trim to allow for an integrated diffuser. Add to that standard 18-inch black alloy wheels (19-inch for the Boxster S) and additional black trim pieces on the exterior, and you've got a fairly stunning exterior package that overshadows a garden variety Porsche Boxster with ease.

Black carries over to the interior where it's applied to most surfaces including the seats, carpet, dash and door panels. The interior is also trimmed with Alcantara and additional pieces that match the exterior's orange body color. And while the motors in both cars were left alone, each gets a new sport exhaust system that may liberate some extra power by offering less restriction.

The 2008 Porsche Limited Edition Boxster and Boxster S officially go on sale September 28th, and since Porsche is only building 500 examples, you may want to get your deposit in now.
