For all followers of Benjamin Lacombe, there are three wonderful  news; on one hand, the volume of Poe's tales with illustrations by the French artist  is now available in Spanish; on the other hand, The Fairy herbarium (shortly to be published in English) also can be found in book stores, I assure you that its magic involves both adults and children, it is a miniature treasure which fill the hearts with fantasy and illusion; finally, at the end of the year a beautiful  diary will be published both in Spanish and French.

Kárhozat (1988)

Kárhozat ( La Condena), dirigida por el cineasta húngaro Béla Tarr en 1988, es un lienzo sobre la soledad, sobre los sentimientos y su choque con la amarga y sórdida realidad; un cuadro en el que los colores de la pasión, la melancolía, el egoísmo y la mezquindad humana aparecen  de forma intensa representados por el blanco y  el negro; contrastes y tonos llenos de realismo que bailan un hipnótico vals. Un bello y áspero poema en imágenes.

Kárhozat (Damnation), directed by Hungarian film-maker Béla Tarr in 1988, is a canvas about loneliness, about feelings and their clash with the sordid and  bitter reality; a picture in which the colours of the passion, the melancholy, the selfishness and the  human pettiness are intensely represented by white and black; contrasts and tones full of realism which dance an hypnotic  waltz. A beautiful and rough poem  made of images.

Widows of Culloden by  Alexander McQueen, A/W 2006-2007 / Photo from Savage beauty exhibition in the MET by Sølve Sundsbø(c)

“Scotland for me is a harsh, cold and bitter place. It was even worse when my great, great grandfather used to live there. . . . The reason I’m patriotic about Scotland is because I think it’s been dealt a really hard hand. It’s marketed the world over as . . . haggis . . . bagpipes. But no one ever puts anything back into it.” Alexander McQueen ,The Independent Fashion Magazine, Autumn/Winter 1999 

The Girl Who Lived in the Tree by  Alexander McQueen, A/W 2008–2009 / Photo from Savage beauty exhibition in the MET by Sølve Sundsbø(c)

Ensemble, It’s a Jungle Out There, by Alexander McQueen A/W 1997-1998 / Photo from Savage beauty exhibition in the MET by Sølve Sundsbø(c)

“The whole show feeling was about the Thomson’s gazelle. It’s a poor little critter—the markings are lovely, it’s got these dark eyes, the white and black with the tan markings on the side, the horns—but it is the food chain of Africa. As soon as it’s born it’s dead, I mean you’re lucky if it lasts a few months, and that’s how I see human life, in the same way. You know, we can all be discarded quite easily. . . . You’re there, you’re gone, it’s a jungle out there!” Alexander McQueen quoted in Caroline Evans, Fashion at the Edge: Spectacle, Modernity and Deathliness (New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 2002)

“I don’t really get inspired [by specific women]. . . . It’s more in the minds of the women in the past, like Catherine the Great, or Marie Antoinette. People who were doomed. Joan of Arc or Colette. Iconic women.” Alexander McQueen, Purple Fashion, Summer 2007

“It is important to look at death because it is a part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholy but romantic at the same time. It is the end of a cycle—everything has to end. The cycle of life is positive because it gives room for new things.” Alexander McQueen, Drapers, February 20, 2010



 

Sarabande, Alexander McQueen S/S 2007, /Photo from Savage beauty exhibition in the MET by Sølve Sundsbø(c)

“I liked the padded hips because they didn’t make the [piece] look historical, but . . . more sensual. Like the statue of Diana with breasts and big hips. It’s more maternal, more womanly.” Alexander McQueen, Purple Fashion, Issue 7, Summer 2007

“These beautiful models were walking around in the room, and then suddenly this woman who wouldn’t be considered beautiful was revealed. It was about trying to trap something that wasn’t conventionally beautiful to show that beauty comes from within.” Alexander McQueen, WWD, September 28, 2000

“Remember Sam Taylor-Wood’s dying fruit? Things rot. . . . I used flowers because they die. My mood was darkly romantic at the time.” Alexander McQueen,  Harper’s Bazaar, April 2007

Widows of Culloden by  Alexander McQueen, A/W 2006-2007 / Photo from Savage beauty exhibition in the MET by Sølve Sundsbø(c)

"Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers." Alexander McQueen

Horn of plenty,Alexander McQueen, A/W 2009-2010 /Photo from Savage beauty exhibition in the MET by Sølve Sundsbø (c)

"Y eramos intensos, feroces, viscerales, tan instintivos que dábamos miedo; eso nos salvaba de la vulgaridad, de lo ordinario, y de nuestros propios fantasmas errantes, porque, a estos últimos, los acogimos en nuestro seno; los convertíamos en fuente de inspiración y arte." Alice Nin
