  • The Enjoyment Trip 1 the Enjoyment Trip
    Gold New Leaf Journal P5. The Enjoyment Trip 1 The Enjoyment Trip Thursday, October 5, 2000 Definitely A New Day! Both practicing the guitar over the past twenty years, and writing my journal over the past seven years (and some before) have not only been ventures to prove myself, to prove to myself that I could do it, but also adventures in self-discovery. Since I have discovered myself, is it necessary that others discover me too? What difference does it make to them? Why should they even know? Why would they want to? Only I want to know. Actually, now that I have proved myself, whether others know or not really makes little difference. I am indifferent to it. Once I know myself, the idea of others also knowing me is almost besides the point. I only wanted them to in order to confirm myself. Once I had done that, the need diminished. Oh sure, it’s nice if they do. But if they don’t, it’s okay, too. Best is to visualize the bigger picture: to see others as myself. This usually happens when I teach folk dancing. I am focusing on what I am doing. I “lose” myself in the focus on others. Parodoxically, by losing myself in them, I find them in myself. In any case, what a road of freedom I am on! I have taken two giant steps, given up two great burdens: guitar performance and publishing my journal. The Voice of Supreme Joy and Confidence: My Fun Center Voice Yoga and running have never been for public consumption.

  • Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada
    Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada Beyond the magnificent Moorish Alhambra, visitors will find a distinctive cuisine and a charming city that was once home to celebrated writers and artists. Like Agra, India, and the Taj Mahal, the Andalusian city of Granada in southern Spain is so well known for a single monument—the Alhambra, a walled fortress housing magnificent 13th- to 15th-century Moorish palaces and gardens—that the city itself is sometimes overlooked. With more than two million visitors descending on the Alhambra, a Unesco World Heritage site, every year, the city’s tourism industry had settled into a somewhat formulaic routine of shuttling visitors in and out of the city in about 24 hours. But recently, some other ancient structures have been restored, and the region’s distinc- tive gastronomy has come into its own. The city that was home to the poet Federico García Lorca, the painter José Guerrero, and the composer Manuel de Falla has deep cultural roots, but now a new crop of small foundations and independent exhibition spaces has revived its arty buzz. Let the Alhambra wait a bit while getting seduced by the city that has grown up around it. Andrew Ferren New York Times (August 10, 2017) Granada seems to specialize in evocative history and good liv- ing. Settle down in the old center and explore monuments of the Moorish civilization and its conquest. Taste the treats of a North African-flavored culture that survives here today.

  • The Survival of Andalusi Artistic Formulas in the Time of Hernan Ruiz I
    arts Article The Survival of Andalusi Artistic Formulas in the Time of Hernan Ruiz I Ángeles Jordano ID Department of Art History, University of Córdoba, 14071 Córdoba, Spain; [email protected] Received: 15 June 2018; Accepted: 1 August 2018; Published: 9 August 2018 Abstract: In the transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era, Hernan Ruiz I worked as master builder of the Cathedral of Cordoba. His works exemplify the adoption of an artistic language resulting from the symbiosis of Gothic, Renaissance and Islamic formulas. In this paper, we demonstrate the imprint of the Andalusi aesthetic in this master’s work. Through an analysis of his building works and the evolution of his style, we show that Hernan Ruiz I’s legacy is more important than what historiography has previously suggested, which has only addressed the transition in his architectural style from Gothic to Renaissance and has overlooked the impact of Andalusi formulas in his work. Hernan Ruiz I bore witness to an important change in the mentality and aesthetic tastes of his time, and although his son, Hernan Ruiz II, gained greater recognition for his work, his father was able to adapt a church model imbued with the medieval spirit to the demands of the new patrons, namely the nobility and high clergy. These clients imposed their tastes, which were anchored in the past, but were open to new Renaissance influences due to their humanistic training and, at the same time, attracted by the exoticism and prestige of Andalusi art. Keywords: Mudejar; architecture; master architect; church; Cordoba; Hernan Ruiz I’s burial 1.
