Pablo Picasso and Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher. In his early work The Birth Of Tragedy Out Of The Spirit Of Music he invents the Apollonian-Dionysian Concept. This concept has great influence ever since in the field of art, literature and philosophy.

This essay is about the interrelations between the Apollonian-Dionysian Idea and the work of Spanish painter Pablo Picasso (1888-1973). Picasso read Nietzsche and was heavily inspired by his work. In this work I wish to visualize Nietzsche’s presence in Picasso’s paintings, especially in his ground-breaking work Les Demoiselles d’Avignon which introduced Primitivism and Cubism and therefore deliberate Abstraction.

Music/Life - Life/Music

Many people tend to abuse music. They violate it by listening but not acknowledging music. They do it just for distraction, not to have that uncomfortable anxious silence around.

I am telling you: music is more. It all starts, in the classic case, in a record store. You look around and grab CDs with appealing covers. The interesting thing here is, that you pick music by its cover.

Irish Pubs and Shit Music

I’ve heard that Irish pubs get all their interior from suppliers who sell not much but retro-ads, lampshades and all this used-look-furniture. It’s obvious that almost every Irish pub, wherever on this planet, looks the same from the inside. But I’ve figured something else.

The Blinding

Come on see the blinding, it's so blinding!
It's the last thing that you'll ever see
You might be happy oh, happier
Than you've ever been
