Allora il termine macchia diventa Macchiaioli, e così vi posso parlare di un movimento artistico italiano forse poco famoso, che è durato poco, ma da conoscere (secondo la mia umile opinione).
Questo movimento artistico, che si è sviluppato tra il 1855 e il 1865 in Toscana, si chiama così proprio per la tecnica che usavano per dipingere. Non più pennellate chiare e definite, ma una pittura fatta di “macchie”, appunto.
All’inizio la definizione era dispregiativa, usata in senso negativo, perché non rispettavano i modi di dipingere canonici.
Tutto nasce tra Firenze e Livorno. I Macchiaioli si riunivano al Caffè Michelangelo di Firenze; il loro scopo era quello di propagandare, diffondere, una pittura che riproducesse “l’Impressionismo del vero”.
Ma è a Castiglioncello, sempre in Toscana, in una tenuta in campagna di un amico comune, che trovano ispirazione. Qui, immersi nella natura selvaggia e incontaminata della costa livornese, iniziano a dipingere all’aperto, usando pennellate rapide e dense — le famose “macchie” — per cogliere la luce e i colori reali del paesaggio.
Quando dico “l’impressionismo del vero”, intendo proprio dire che questi artisti volevano raccontare la vita vera: la quotidianità, la fatica, la natura, la guerra. Erano ribelli  idealisti, e attraverso l’arte cercavano un contatto diretto con la realtà del loro tempo. Giovanni Fattori, il più noto tra loro, ha dipinto scene di guerra e vita contadina, ma anche la forza del vento mediterraneo che piega gli alberi, e la luce che danza sulle onde del mare. Che poesia!
Spesso i Macchiaioli sono stati paragonati agli Impressionisti francesi.
Ma questo non è esatto: mentre gli Impressionisti, nei loro quadri, celebrano momenti leggeri della vita borghese, gli artisti italiani vogliono “raccontare” la vita vera, anche se dura e scomoda, il popolo.
I Macchiaioli non sono solo parte della storia dell’arte: sono testimoni di un cambiamento profondo, un invito a guardare il mondo con occhi sinceri.

Body Language Tips and Tricks At The Job Interview

Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years. 'We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my social life completely.'

Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. 'I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,' he says. 'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?' So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. 'I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'

Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life?

SAN JUAN 3.

Oficialmente conocido como el Mercado Ernesto Pugibet por la calle en la que se encuentra, el clásico Mercado de San Juan puede ser un poco difícil de encontrar. Fue construido en el sitio de la antigua fábrica de cigarros  el Buen Tono y a veces escucharás ese nombre para la Plaza San Juan. El mercado y la plaza se llaman así por el nombre cristianizado del vecindario, “San Juan Moyotlan“.  Moyotlan es el nombre náhuatl del vecindario  más antiguo de Tenochtitlan que significaba “vecindario de mosquitos.”

El mercado de San Juan es más famoso por vender alimentos “gourmet” lo cual en México significa que son alimentos importados y europeos. De hecho, en el mercado no hay  dificultades para encontrar alimentos enlatados y en conserva y una excelente selección de quesos y carnes estilo “deli”.  El mercado también es uno de los favoritos entre muchos de los restauranteros más exclusivos de la Ciudad. Puedes encontrar todo tipo de productos de otros estados de México, además de algunas cosas de Europa, Asia y América.

A menudo lo más impresionante para los visitantes son los puestos de fruta y verduras donde la producción suele ser más limpia y brillante que en mercados similares lo que los convierte en puestos ideales para realizar excelentes fotos.  Los fines de semana, es posible que el mercado esté realmente lleno de invitados internacionales y de otras ciudades.

Originalmente era un mercado temporal para vendedores desplazados por una reorganización de los mercados de la ciudad en 1933.  Este sitio solía ser un almacén para la fábrica de cigarros del Buen Tono. La iglesia del Buen Tono a la vuelta de la esquina en la Plaza de San Juan es todo lo que queda de esa que, alguna vez, fue una importante fábrica local.
