ABC Wednesday I

It is Easter, It is ABC Wednesday and what else can be more symbolic than DiegoVelasquez painting Christ Crucified from 1632 as we saw at the Prado Museum in Madrid in 2004.
I is for INRI.Next shot is from Aker Brygge, Oslo taken yesterday. Reflections in the windows of the Investment and Insurance company Storebrand, and the sculpture by Marit Wiklund ”Utferdstrang” in the Old Dock close to the bridge over to Tjuvholmen, (the new renovated Industrial area)
I is for Images
My own painting this ABCW is Inferno in Red, accompanied with the fantastic music by Igor Stravinsky. See the You Tube video Igor Stravinsky Firebird Infernal dance (Ildfuglen Norwegian, Le Sacre du printemps French)
I
is for Inferno, Igor and Infernal Dance


At the end the sculpture utside the Ibsen Museumand the warm Summer day in 2006 at Ischia Italy where Ibsen worked out major parts of Peer Gynt
I is for Ibsen at Ischia

Every time I read your blog the contrast of our environments always strikes me. I feel you live in such a cultural place, ye here we are in the middle of the moors! Yet we are both passionate about art! I guess it provokes a search for inspiration and creativity.

Great post!
Happy Easter!

Ibsen er ett veldig godt bidrag under I! :)
Jeg liker også maleriet ditt. Sterke og dramatiske farger.
God påske til deg også! :)

Siste kommentar, mens gubben venter i bilen på tur til hytta;) Vakre bilder fra deg i dag også. Og hvilken tøffing på gata i Italia!
Så trivelig at du tittet på bildene mine. Skal shine det litt opp etter påsken.
Hi hi, nei HC hadde nok ikke tørt tøy på land, men bare hun får herje litt i vann så er hun ikke så nøye med det. Ei lita tøffa ho der, men vannet var iskaldt. Så da sto heller jeg på land og fotograferte;)
God påske enno en gang:)
No blir det ikke data på en uke nesten. Sukk:|
Påskeklem fra meg:)

Eg har aldri tenkt over det med å ete eple rundt og rundt..., men når du seier det så et mannen min eple i store bitar "i hytt og ver".

God påske :)

I love the reflections in the second picture - and the fourth, too. I really love photos of reflections.

Michele said...

Some splendid "I" examples are here. Always impressed with your posts when I come here.

If Ibsen wrote Per Gynt in Italy it may be because he was homesick. Gynt is such a Nordic work. (I like it very much.)

Sharon said...

Great I post. The reflections were beautiful. I especially liked the sculpture, it made me smile.

gma said...

Very Interesting "I" post.
:-)

Neva said...

I always learn something from your posts...

Petunia said...

Et flott innlegg dette, Arne. Maleriet ditt likte jeg veldig godt. Flotte farger og det ligger mye energi i det.
Ibsen er heller ikke noe dårlig valg.
Nå har jeg vært på en liten handletur og påskemat og påskeegg er kjøpt inn. Nå skal påskeroen få senke seg over huset.

Hi ArneA! Thanks for showing me some of the interesting places and things you have seen.

Happyone said...

All good and interesting I's.

Andrea said...

Interesting "I" you are sharing today.

Gordon said...

A great post - many interesting I's and images.

Fantastic pictures

Alan said...

Great choices, but expecially the Firebird music. It was one of the first pieces I ever played in a true orchestra. Great horn parts, lots of fun to play - and listen to as well. Stravinsky is great.

Paulie said...

Very appropriate INRi. . . "it is finished" would also fit. May your Easter be a joyous one in knowing we already received the best gift.

Miss_Yves said...

Interesting choices !
"Inferno"...Isn'it a drama of Strindberg, too ?
Sometimes ,at school, we study the famous play of Ibsen ,"maison de poupée".
I enjoy nordic litterature!
