It's the end of the rainbow

It's the end of the rainbow Kimmo Huosionmaa My dear readers, I have almost forgotten to write in these sites of the Blogger, and the reason is, that sometimes it's time to renew. I know that this might be feel or hear something, what I have written earlier. The blogger is a good platform and I would ever leave it. I have many feelings about this platform, and one is, that I published my first blog writing in here sometimes around ten years ago. That writing was caused very positive feedback, and I started to write things first once in the month, but then more often. There are many people, who don't like this kind of texts, but then I must say, that I don't either like every persons or text, what I see, and maybe somebody is interested about this way of seeing the things. I have also right to dislike some person or texts. First I was hiding my name for some reasons, what are only in my knowledge. But then I got more courage because of the positive feedback, what...

Two portraits of George Washington

Picture I Kimmo Huosionmaa Above the text is the portrait of George Washington, the first president of the United States of America. In this picture is a very interesting detail, and it is like the threat that this man would strike his hand to the quill, what is on the table. This detail is a very interesting thing in this painting, what is not, of course, the only one portrait, what is painted about this man, who was the first commander of the United States military forces. This painting was made by Gilbert Stuart in the year 1796, three years before the death of Washington  and the name of it is "Portrait of George Washington" This man is a very interesting person, and when you read the background of Washington, you must notice that George Washington was not the most trustable selection for the leader of the independence fighters. This man was the only person, who survived in the ambush of the French troops in the seven years war, and then he was selected as the co...

Do you notice the double-image in this picture?

Picture I Kimmo Huosionmaa Above the text is an image, what is drawn by artist Patrick Reilly. The image is about the fictional shipwreck in some planet, what is far away from the Earth. This image hides also the double-effect because this kind of picture or object in the picture also looks like some kind of cannon. So when we are thinking about the art and drawings, there is something, what makes the image inside the artists head, and when we are thinking about sci-fi art, there are many times very militaristic things in those pictures. In the last text, what I wrote is a picture above it. When we are thinking about that propaganda poster, there are many interesting details, what I was not mentioned. Link to that picture is here:  https://imginationsasnthoughts.blogspot.com/2018/12/somebody-is-watching-theme-in-sci-fi-art.html The person who stands on the left side seems, that this action would not be done voluntary, and the other man seems to show the things of the spa...

"Somebody is watching" theme in sci-fi art

Picture I Kimmo Huosionmaa The thing in sci-fi art is that somehow there would be something, what is hidden from the public. Or what is hiding in the space or another planet, and those creatures are always strange or hidden. Sometimes I have thought sill things while looking at the photographs, what is taken from the spacewalk, and I must ask one question, how the men in the control room really know who is in the picture. Those pictures, where the astronauts are hiding behind the black masks, what are protecting them against the radiation, what comes from the sun, have given the reason for writing very weird stories about this kind of things. In those stories astronauts are facing something, that is very frightening and unknown to the people. Once I read a book, where astronauts operated secretly with humanoids and the story was fascinating.  The idea was that the control of the spaceflight was used the choreography, where alien was opposite of the human in the space s...

Gustav Klutsits: "Fulfilled plan, Great work".

Picture I Kimmo Huosionmaa Latvian born artist Gustav Klutsits made this avantgarde- or propaganda poster in 1930, for 13th. anniversary of the revolution. There is a hand, what is filled with smaller hands. And the message of this poster is, that the group gives power. The message of that propagandist poster is very strong, and they are given very good ideas for many people, even if they don't like communists. The idea of the poster is that every whole is consists of individual units.  And if the whole would want to be strong, every each individual must work for it. The idea is to demonstrate the state as an organism, what consists of the individual cells. This seems a very good idea, but the problem is, that this way to think makes possible to make the most horrific crimes, what mankind ever think. The idea of this way to think is that if the individual becomes useless for the system or composition must that individual removed immediately. And that would justify and leg...

The book cover, what is causing discussions (Lauren Stratford: Satan's underground)

Picture I https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/ Kimmo Huosionmaa Above the text is the book-cover, what portraits the book, what is written by a woman, who escaped from the Satanists, and the writer of this book is Lauren Stratford and the name is "Satan's underground".  I don't know who has drawn this image, but sometimes I see there, of course, the sword, and Satan or sawhorse-shaped thing sit on it. That sword is, of course, symbolizing the power, and then we can see the image of quadcopter-drone in that picture. Those small size drones would bring to their operator's hands very much information about the targeted persons. Those drones are very sophisticated for surveillance purposes, and they can operate from remote bases far away from the drone by using the Internet for communication. They can load themselves from the power stations, what are made for mobile telephones. The operators might use mobile telephones for controlling those devices. The...

James Marshall Tartini's dream

Picture I https://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/ Kimmo Huosionmaa John Marshall's painting about the figure, what Italian violist and composer Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) claimed to see in a dream. This figure played the composition, what is known as the Devil's Sonata. This story is one of the most incredible tales about things, what people see in dreams. I think that Marshall took the image of the red-skinned devil from the medieval paintings and the story has told about the case, that one composer claimed that devil has taught one of the greatest compositions,  made to him. The story, about the devil, who sits on the bed at the next of Tartini, and played the violin, is the thing, what made Tartini very scary. One remarkable thing is, that this man remembers the dream in the morning because the memory has been shut down during the sleep. So there were suspicious that somebody was really sitting on the bed of this composer. Many people don't even remember,...

Leonardo Da Vinci's tank and how it connects to the modern time

Picture I https://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/ Kimmo Huosionmaa Everybody knows the tank, what Leonardo Da Vinci created. This thing was a wagon, what was covered with a wooden structure, what made it look like little bit some spacecraft. This structure was open at the downside, and that made possible to use this thing also as the submarine, what could be used to bring men across rivers that no one notices that thing. Leonardo's tank is a great example of innovation and creativity. But do you know, that this tank has something to do with modern space technology? Today Russia plans to create the nuclear-powered spacecraft for the manned mission to Mars. There were planes to make that mission in the 1970's but the technology was not in the level, where it should be when the successful spaceflight to that planet was possible to accomplish. One of the greatest problems is that this kind of space journey could face the problems in the flight between Earth and Mars, an...

Warning sign in the movies, what are an art form too

Picture I Kimmo Huosionmaa Again I will show you the music video of the song "The Year 2525", and the film is the classic "Metropolis", what was directed Fritz Lang in 1927, just before the Nazis rise in the power of the Reich, and started to persecute and murder Jews. The clip is below the text, and the picture above is the screenshot from that film. When I see this film, I must ask, did Lang wanted to warn Germans about the things, what is coming. In the time 0:21 there is the symbol, what seems the David star. And those persons, who will go in the mysterious elevators would put their head down, and their faces are covered, and here we must ask, was there some gas chambers in the Siegfried fortress line. In fact, there was a very good choice for the gas and it was tuberculosis. If there were persons, who had tuberculosis in the workgroups, that could mean the isolation for a very big group of people. Tuberculosis was used for an isolate and terminate the ...

The cursed paintings and the bad things behind them

Picture I Kimmo Huosionmaa Above the text is an image of the crying boy, what is claimed to be cursed, and that picture is not only one painting or picture, what is claimed to be cursed.There are many tales about the paintings, what are causing terrible things, like burning and deaths. The thing in those paintings is, that they might be made for weapons. One very effective way to create the painting, what kills people is just used white phosphorus in the painting, and when the temperature in the room rises too high, would the phosphorus start to burn, and if there is also black color, would that color made by using gunpowder, what would increase the effect of that fire. But the reason, why that kind of painting would be painted is sometimes a mystery.  There are other ways to make deadly paintings, and one of them is to mix the poison of cobra or botulinum in the colors, what are used in the painting, and when the white phosphorus start to burn, would the smoke cause dea...

Why only one rat would get the gift?

Kimmo Huosionmaa Above this text is the painting, what can be found from Hakaniemi subway station Helsinki, and it has a very good message for the people. The name of the artist is in the painting.  When some granny starts to feed the rat, there would be many other rats, what would like to get that food. And here we must ask, why only one of those rats would get the gift? Is that rat better than other, and if it is better, why it is better? Nice thing to think, when we are looking at the rats, who are enjoying the protection of the people. When we are thinking about the rats, we are same time think the thing, what is called as an informer. The informer is called "the rat" in the underworld. And there are millions of detective stories, where the police are paying money for informers. When we are thinking about the gift, we must ask, what makes that person the informer, who gives information for money to the police? Why this particular person is so trusted, that the in...

Treat in the Soviet Sci-Fi art

Picture I Kimmo Huosionmaa In Soviet sci-fi, art is one typical element. That element is a treat, what is hidden in the innocent pieces of elements. In the above, the text is a poster of the Soviet Sci-fi film from the 1950's and in the first sight, it would seem the spacecraft, where are cosmonauts, who are making their experiments in the zero-gravity space, and hanging between the floor and roof of this chamber. But then we are going to look this spacecraft more careful, and we might see the things very different way than before because those men seem like be some kind of rats in the test tube. And there is a treat inside the spacecraft. When we are looking those windows more careful, we might see something, what we don't want to see. If this little chamber would think as the execution device, the high-tech gas chamber what uses radio waves and electric arc for execution method this kind of things would make very interesting and horrifying thoughts in the head. If...

"Ascent of Blessed" Hieronymus Bosch (1505-1515)

Kimmo Huosionmaa One of the most fascinating and interesting paintings of history is painted by Hieronymus Bosch, who has painted many interesting paintings in the "Ascent of the Blessed", what the painter has been painted between 1505-1515. The painting is portraying the road to heaven, and the demons would deliver the pure persons to angels. But there are very interesting details in this painting. The space of the portrait seems like that the characters are the float in the air or in dark water, and then the characters, what seems like angels or demons would lead those persons, who otherwise would miss their path, what is not painted in this painting. The thing, what makes that painting interesting is the tube, what is the road to the brightness. It seems to made by using concrete, and in this case, some people claims, that Bosch wanted to portrait some secret place, what looks like a concrete tube, and this has caused the thoughts in my mind, that did this remarkab...

The eye in the Soviet art

Picture I Kimmo Huosionmaa Above the text is the drawing, what have made Stenberg brothers, and it's one of a good example of the art, what is made by people, who have been living in the controlling society, where every movement of the person is observed by secret police. This is the reason, why eye and control are in the big role of Soviet art. Soviet art is the production of the paranoia, where every person is under the control. And if the person can be arrested because he or she has the wrong hat, would that cause stress in the mind, but the fact is that the Soviet Secret police was the terrifying actor. There were claims, that there were implanted cameras in the eye of people and the secret police would remotely control that thing. In that time, there were many rumors about the methods of the secret police. The thing was that the organization of the secret police was made for controlling other people, and when the members of that organization were in some room, there...

Kazimir Malevich "Supremus no 56" (1916)

Kazimir Malevich "Supremus No56"  Kimmo Huosionmaa In this painting is important the way, how to see those lines, what Malevich has been drawn on this painting, and find the combination what makes the structure in the painting. Sometimes I have thought that how Malevich created those paintings, and how he told that they were the things, what people would want to buy. In fact, there are many things, what makes this kind of paintings very interesting, and one of them is, that there are many things, what has been left to the audience. And one thing is, how the artist convicts that there is something except sharp and also carefully thought combination of lines and other geometrical structures. But when we are looking the abstract paintings, there would be the things, what limits our imagination. One of them is the combination of our experiences about the instruments, what are used in scientific laboratories around the world. The thing in "Supremus no 56" is...

Hieronymus Bosch "Garden of Earthly Delights"

Hieronymus Bosch: "Garden of Early Delights" Kimmo Huosionmaa We have seen the animal figures, what have made by this painter. The purpose of those figures is, that they are coded figures of some person, and that means, that there were the list of the animals, what was in those paintings, what is the remarkable portrait to Medieval art, and that Dutch painter has been called the "father of surrealism", and maybe that is true, but as we see, the paintings what Hieronymus Bosch made were actually quite disturbing, and there is another thing, what is remarkable. And that is that there is no painting about this man, and he didn't sign his work, what might mean, that he was not behind those works. Or maybe he made those paintings, but there is one very interesting detail, and that is that every single detail has been made very sharp and carefully. This makes me think, are those paintings made by using many smaller paintings as the model, and then they are c...

Kazimir Malevich: "Airplane flying" from 1915

"Airplane flying" Kazimir Malevich (1915) (Picture I) Kimmo Huosionmaa Now seems to be the week, when I'm thinking about modern abstract art and one of the most respected masters of that style. The painting is named as "Airplane Flying", and one of the most famous avantgardists genius named Kazimir Malevich created this painting in 1915, and it has many persons, who don't see anything in this painting, what is one of the symbols of the abstract art, and in fact, there are many things, what people don't know about abstract art. The thing in this art is that those things, what do not seem to portray anything, are on the canvas or paper in very special formation, and in some abstract paintings is the idea in somewhere else than in the objects, what is painted on this picture. The idea of the modern is might be that those geometrical forms are seeming to fly in the painting, and in some of those pictures the parts, what is missing has the importanc...

Black Square by Kazimir Malevich from 1915

"Black Square" Kazimir Malevich 1915 (PIcture I) One of the most well-known avant-garde masterpieces is "Black Square", what is painted by Kazimir Malevich, and the year was 1915. This painting has caused the joke, where one man tells to another, how to create millions of dollars. The answer is simple, just paint a black square on the paper, and the masterpiece is done. But in the Malevich case, the idea of the "Black Square" painting is that it's not actually portraying black square at all. Or here I'm trying to say, that this square is not actually totally black. There is a form of the cross hiding in the grey or brighter points, what Malevich created in the area of the black square, what actually looks like the burned, or formed by burned paper, what is put inside the layers of varnish. But as we know, Malevich claimed, that he painted that painting. Or actually, people say, that this painting has been painted by Malevich, and I don...

Painting "Zhertva" from the hand of the artist Galina Solotomina

"Zhertva" Galina Solotonina, 1973 (Picture I) Kimmo Huosionmaa The Soviet painting "Zhertva" ("Sacrifice") by Galina Solotonina from the year 1973 is one very interesting picture because even if it the artist's self-portrait, there is painted the character, what can be woman or man, and that character seems to play chess in the candlelight, and character is portrayed in the point of view of the opponent player. This painting is a typical Soviet art, and that means it's technically very impressive, and the thing, what this painting would want to say, is something, what we cannot expect. That painting has the very strong message, and it's that ever underestimate your opponents. The person who might sit next to you can be actually something, what you cannot ever think about. Even if you would see the old lady, who have ever played chess before, there could be the trap, because the gaming situation can be under the surveillance, and that...

The biggest secret of the Mona Lisa is why it costs 2 billion Euros?

Mona Lisa Kimmo Huosionmaa The biggest mystery in the world of arts is why the painting named "Mona Lisa" is so expensive.The biggest mystery in the world of arts is why the painting named "Mona Lisa" is so expensive. In fact, there is no prize for "Mona Lisa". That value of that painting is immeasurable. But when we are talking about the prize of that painting, the prize means the insurance, what is taken for it. That prize is 2 billion Euros, but the question is about the national treasure of France, and the painting is not for sale by any prize. When we are thinking about the history of that painting, the thing is that it's not so big or impressive, what we are normally thinking or expecting. What makes this painting so well known, is that it is so expensive. In the history is claimed, that "Mona Lisa" could be Italian noblewoman, whose name is mentioned in some documents, but in fact, we cannot be sure, was that woman real...

Censorship is the best way to make something fascinating and interesting

Painting by Oleg Shuplyak Kimmo Huosionmaa Above of the text is the painting, what is painted by Oleg Shuplyak, and the name of this painting is "Okrilenisty, Freedom hope".  In the painting is the birdcage, where is trapped the bird. The message is that even the bird is closed to the cage, the voice would hear to the world. The symbolism of this picture cannot be denied, and that picture might be made to remember the existence of political prisoners of that state. But this painting might also make for warning other people about the traps. The hunters use cage birds for tempting the other birds to location, and then the arresting would be done. Same way the political prisoners can be used for arrest their friends, and when they would come to visit this person, the police would arrest them, and claim that those people have brought the drugs to prison, what is the suitable reason for giving the judgment, and then authorities can claim, that those persons were so-call...

Why we are investigating art?

Mona Lisa (Picture I) Kimmo Huosionmaa We are interesting about the art because in the paintings and tales have been trapped things, what was happen the long time ago. And that's why those things are interesting. Another thing, what makes paintings very interesting is their prize. Why somebody would want to pay millions of Euros about the picture, what this person ever can put to the wall? Who invests the art, and why those people do that thing? And why some paintings are national treasury, what is guarded by some secret service-style organization? If they would have very much money, why they would not give it to the museums? When we are thinking about the art as the target for the investment, the prize of those paintings can be extremely high, but their prize moves up and down so fast, that this investment would be unstable. The willingness to pay those paintings or statues is connected to the economic situation in some country. When people have "too much money...
