Post 7 - A career-related website / an expert on your field


If you study art´s theory or a career related with art, or just you are a passionate about art, The Web Gallery of Art is your internet page.

This is the link: https://www.wga.hu/index1.html

This website have more than 43.000 reproductions of European fine arts and arquitecture, between the 3rd and 19th century.

The website born in 1996, in the process of internet massification, to offer Italian renaissance reproduction mostly paintings. But with pass of time, the range of style grown up, and now is one of the more complete virtual museums of the world.

This website also have other interesting things, and very useful, like artist biographies, guides around the paintings, and a very complete bibliographie.

I think even this website just only offer the bibliogrphie source, still would be one the top five website for art historians or researches.

Post 4 - What are some of your favourite hobbies/pastimes?

Well, my number one hobby is reading. I love books. I read anything ranging  from essays to novels. Even though some of my readings are mostly political and academic, i read to as a hobbie. Are saying that you enjoy reading when you're forced to do so? One of my favourite pastimes I have is playing computer games. Most of the time I play strategic ones like Age of Empire, Warcraft/Starcraft; the classic ones. I like city-building games and the series of Total War games as well. Another pastime is watching series, like Friends, or Games of Thrones. The latter one is in its eighth season, and only four chapters to finish the entire series remain. ...And a Sport, but also a hobbie: skating.

Well, my views on politics changed very much, from a passive left -wing thinking to a radical Marxist view on politics. I think my very best influence when I was a child, was my family, where I learn about all the cruelty of the Pinochet dictatorship, the persecutions on the oppositions, including the deaths, the tortures, the desaparitions of people, and most important the search of justice of the family from many of this “detenidos desaparecidos”, the word that cross the world of the fight of mothers, sister, spouses, and not only in Chile, but in many latinoamerican countries, where fierce dictatorship despaired people. This create, I think, a left-wing common sense on me, mainly social conscience, but was in the university where I encounter a elaborated “guide of action” (Engels dixit) for my way of thinking, where when not only see more clearly the central role of the working class in the fight against exploitation and oppression, but more clearly a strategy, from where I get in...

Post 8 - A subject you enjoyed studying this term

Well, a subject that I'm interested in the most this semester was Colonial Arts. The development of western art in the conquered lands by the Spanish and Portuguese crowns until the republican period. The most fascinating thing is the encounter of two cultures/peoples, and what was the result of this in terms of art. It is fascinating to study and research colonial arts because there are so many different theories and views about that encounter of cultures. But when something is fascinating, it is tragic at the same time though, because this encounter was a truly genocide and ethnocide against indigenous tribes in the American continent during the first part of the encounter. Now even this happen, artists or artisans that created many of the colonial art were people of that indigenous culture, or mestizos. Consequently, they created an art in lin with the his masters' rules, but with the touches of millenial cultures like the Azteca peoples or Inca peoples. ...
