Enero 18, 2012. El honor alimenta las artes. Es la leyenda que ostenta el bajorelieve enmarcado en un octógono que contiene a una figura humana con alas en los tobillos (que recuerda a la figura del dios griego Hermes. 8221; ya que las letras en relieve han sido eliminadas y se dificulta identificar las otras siglas. Sobre este dintel existe otro hermoso y detallado bajorelieve de una escena típica del oficio impresor. Calle a la vista. 12:40 a. m. Enviar por correo electrónico. Enero 17, 2012. Este extr...

Marzo 14, 2012. De eso se trata. De observarlas, admirarlas e imaginar el momento y la función para las cuales fueron creadas. Las hay de todo tipo, pero nos concentraremos en esas que por algún motivo en particular, se destacan llamando nuestra atención. Sobre una de las imponentes entradas del Museo, podemos observar la primera:. En otra puerta de acceso al Museo, podemos observar otra llamativa ornamentación. Calle a la vista. 1:56 a. m.

Eye on Uruguay: March 2011

http://eyeonuruguay.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Observations on art and culture in Montevideo. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Art Deco, encore. On walks around the city, I'm constantly looking up, searching for fragments of bas-relief Art Deco patterns on house facades. My earlier post " Deco Details" had the most response from readers around the world, which makes me question why there is such an intense interest in this particular style. Is it because Deco design is light-hearted, pretty and superficial? A frieze of undulating waves, fans and flowers.

Observations on art and culture in Montevideo. Thursday, July 21, 2011. There is no subway system in Montevideo, but in the center of the city, hidden below Plaza Fabini, there's an underground art gallery. Salon Municipal de Exposiciones. Is a public venue with three exhibition spaces labelled according to size - XL, M and SX. This place is one of the cultural hot spots in Montevideo, with an ongoing program of free art exhibitions, musical concerts, lectures, drama and experimental performances. Educat...

Eye on Uruguay: La Casa de los Gatos

http://eyeonuruguay.blogspot.com/2011/08/la-casa-de-los-gatos.html

Observations on art and culture in Montevideo. Tuesday, August 2, 2011. La Casa de los Gatos. La Casa de los Gatos, Boulevard Espana and Juan Paullier. Demolition begins at the top, with the cupola. Oak staircase is removed. Urns at the entrance. Salvaging bits and pieces. The cat lady's watchtower disappears. Bulldozer removes the remains. A hole in the streetscape, soon to be filled with an apartment tower. Here is a video of the demolition. In progress, the only press coverage that I could find. The c...

Eye on Uruguay: December 2010

http://eyeonuruguay.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Observations on art and culture in Montevideo. Friday, December 31, 2010. I love the way past and present merge in this poem, just as our family tree brings the deceased closer to the living. As we approach the end of one year and the beginning of another, and make our resolutions for change in a period of global uncertainty, the wishing tree reminds us that "hope springs eternal in the human breast.". I stand neither in the wilderness. But in the fold. Of a green hill,. The tilt from one parish. And our...

Eye on Uruguay: Cost of living in Montevideo

http://eyeonuruguay.blogspot.com/2011/08/cost-of-living-in-montevideo.html

Observations on art and culture in Montevideo. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Cost of living in Montevideo. Is it really economical for a retired expat to live in Montevideo? I have discovered a fascinating website that makes it easy to compare basic costs of everyday living in a number of places around the globe. It's called Expatistan. And once you've tried it you'll be hooked on international comparative studies. I learned the following facts in one afternoon of research. Paris is 65% higher than Montevideo.

Eye on Uruguay: February 2011

http://eyeonuruguay.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Observations on art and culture in Montevideo. Sunday, February 27, 2011. The centre cannot hold. Texaco station, now a building site. The house next door, a classic residence, is also coming down. Make way for high-rise urban living! Where do the homeless go when the current wave of high-rise building projects forces them out of Ciudad Vieja, Parque Rodo and Pocitos? While the trend to move to the outskirts provides a chance for families to stabilize their immediate surroundings and lifestyle, it's not ...
