Viagem Singular a Worpswede

Rate this book
Rainer Maria Rilke em Março de 1901 chega à colónia artística de Worpswede para aí permanecer até Agosto de 1902. Marcado pelas fortes impressões da natureza no Norte da Alemanha e pelas duas viagens à Rússia (1899 e 1900) na companhia de Lou Andreas- -Salomé, teve ocasião de visitar Tolstoi na sua propriedade de Jasnaja Poljana e de apreciar a região do "Pântano do Diabo".

Worpswede era uma pequena localidade que a partir de 1889 ganhara um rosto artístico, com a fixação de um grupo de pintores desencantados com a estreiteza das academias. A viagem pela estranheza desta planície pantanosa dos pintores, leva-o à tomada de consciência da natureza incognoscível das coisas, da pintura, da paisagem e da poesia.

Através de um triplo olhar - como nos descreve no prefácio João Barrento - analítico em relação às obras dos pintores do momento e do lugar, histórico revisitando a pintura paisagística do passado e etnográfico como a paisagem transparece nas vidas e nos lugares daqueles que a habitam, incitando a visitar o mundo oculto da natureza. É uma "Viagem Singular a Worpswede".

About the author

Rainer Maria Rilke

1,811 books6,982 followers
A mystic lyricism and precise imagery often marked verse of German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose collections profoundly influenced 20th-century German literature and include The Book of Hours (1905) and The Duino Elegies (1923).

People consider him of the greatest 20th century users of the language.

His haunting images tend to focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety — themes that tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist poets.

His two most famous sequences include the Sonnets to Orpheus , and his most famous prose works include the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge .

He also wrote more than four hundred poems in French, dedicated to the canton of Valais in Switzerland, his homeland of choice.

Interesante acercamiento a los pintores del grupo de Worpswede. Me ha ayudado, sobre todo, a comprender el paisaje que tanto influyó en el desarrollo artístico del grupo. Es una pena que Rilke no haga ni una triste mención a Paula Modersohn-Becker.

Una raccolta variegata di testi di Rilke, il mio primo approccio con la sua prosa. Una prosa splendida, da cui emergono a mio avviso tre scritti tra tutti: Samskola, Del paesaggio e Rumore primigenio. Le parole sul paesaggio sono profondissime e indimenticabili.

Landschafts-/Naturpoesie ist nicht so meins. Manchmal kam aber auch doch das Gefühl auf, dass Rilke eine Naturszene beschreibt, die das Leben widerspiegelt. "Abend" hat es mir da angetan.

Perhaps not my favorite Rilke, but the beautiful edition I received as a gift is illustrated beautifully with paintings and charcoal sketches by Rilke's friend Heinrich Vogeler.
