Die Geschichtenerzähler pflanzten ihm das Gefühl für alles Lebendige und Mysteriöse in sein Herz. Als er 4 Jahre alt war zog seine Familie in eine andere intellektuelle Welt, nach Prag. Bücher, Theater und Ausstellungen bestimmten sein Leben. Nach Abschluss der Schule kehrte er zurück nach Usbekistan, studierte dort angewandtes Kunsthandwerk und spezialisierte sich auf alte Handschriften. Anschließend ging er nach Zentralasien und studierte dort bei einem der letyten großen tanzenden Derwische - Hd. Daud al-Din Scharisbani. Danach lebte er als Nomade zwischen Pferdhütern in den Bergen. Zurück in Prag studierte er Theatergeschift und ließ sich in Italien nieder. Dort arbeitete ar als Journalist, Übersetzer, Opern-Schauschpiler, Pferd Züchter und Sprachlehrer.<br />Doch es zog ihn wieder aufs Land, wo er einem 8-öd Dorf inmitten eines Naturschutzgebietes lebt und zu malen begann. Beck versteht es in seinen Kunstwerken orientalische Wurzeln mit italienischem Flair und mysteriösen Schriftzeichen zu verbinden. Zum ersten Mal können Sie seine Kunstwerke außerhalb von Italien bewundern.<br /><br/><br/><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiSlzYfZPWFEe5CKC0ebFtRgkwHE7npNJMgyMVuI3MheRlTK8_qL1WR-wu_tyk1s4uTTrLyK2XA5ViYAJbbsSr-fzvjX-0nUNQJyNBxERT05PP8pW2lJdMX9f41fhDjAElczzivcSWS2dy/s1600-h/pro-F.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiSlzYfZPWFEe5CKC0ebFtRgkwHE7npNJMgyMVuI3MheRlTK8_qL1WR-wu_tyk1s4uTTrLyK2XA5ViYAJbbsSr-fzvjX-0nUNQJyNBxERT05PP8pW2lJdMX9f41fhDjAElczzivcSWS2dy/s400/pro-F.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192631111049919074" /></a>Marwin Lee Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18228783783931430014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003608701125443573.post-38891137217843137882008-04-08T04:47:00.000-07:002011-06-28T12:49:09.254-07:00Marwin Lee Бeck - The Biography<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_io7iGhtNz8I4aMPziBXMADgYl1T-UC8Vab4r_livxDwn4ZnGjLd-xURXmMOHZs_NmcLIjHDyUUKm_q6Km7bhxBtLZOSwa6WtLohxh5WOdgurRpShlGYX8pdG_dDCgcrTtPuDaALyJs5a/s1600-h/pitor001.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_io7iGhtNz8I4aMPziBXMADgYl1T-UC8Vab4r_livxDwn4ZnGjLd-xURXmMOHZs_NmcLIjHDyUUKm_q6Km7bhxBtLZOSwa6WtLohxh5WOdgurRpShlGYX8pdG_dDCgcrTtPuDaALyJs5a/s320/pitor001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186846091613011458" /></a><br /><br /> Marwin’s biography includes many fairy-tale elements. He was born in Bukhara, a city in today’s Uzbekistan, during one of the most spectacular sandstorms man can remember. On that long ago day in 1966, a thin veil of red sand from the Kyzyl Kum desert covered the ancient capital of Oriental mysticism. <br />The descendant of a family whose legacy dates back to the era of the great Khazarian Khanate, known for its extraordinary tolerance, broadmindedness, respect for ancient traditions and dedication to helping their fellowmen, Marwin knew how to ride a horse before he could walk, thanks to his great-grandfather, a legendary hero or the cavalry during the First World War. And even before learning how to read, he was able to differentiate all of the herbal plants, thanks to his great-grand-mother, a healer who every year took him with her to the wonderful valleys of Tian-Shan to gather the “byline”, officinal herbs, and to drink ”kefir”, the mythical drink of nomadic shepherds that gives long life. <br />At the age of four, Marwin moved to Prague, in the very heart of another culture heavy with traditions and mysticism. Here, he approached the teaching of Holy Scriptures for the first time and became a devoted pupil of his grandfather Alvise Dov Liebeck. While still a boy he received his first schooling in Prague where he was able to absorb the rich cultural life of the city: theatres, art shows, galleries, and concerts. Dark reading rooms in public libraries or narrow labyrinths of the bookstores of Prague bursting with used and ancient books became the world where he loved to immerse himself in. <br />Nevertheless, the longing for the silence of the desert, rich in hidden tension, and the striking greenness of the high mountain spring meadows proved the stronger pull and Marwin returned to Bukhara at an age when he needed to choose his future. <br />He enrolled at the Institute for the Applied Arts and Craftsmanship, specializing in calligraphy. However, he soon realised that the entire Soviet system was enwrapped in a kind of sclerosis and he decided to rebel and escape.<br />He wandered through central Asia, occasionally working. He joined underground cultural movements and lived from day to day until one day he happened to step into a small craftsman’s shop in Ferghana, not very far away from his native Bukhara. Here, he met the man who would become his Master and spiritual guide: Hd. Daud al-Din Sharisbani, a humble house decorator and painter of miniatures who, as Marwin would later discover, was one of the last surviving members of the legendary congregation of dancing Dervish from Bukhara that was eliminated during Stalin’s reign of terror in the thirties. <br />Marwin studied and worked alongside his Master for several years. However, before crossing the threshold of that ancient gift of Sufism of “seeing the real world”, he had to make a promise, a kind of seal of devotion and a challenge at the same time, to not practice the Art until his 41st birthday, which is the supreme magic number in central Asian tradition.<br />After his long apprenticeship, Marwin retured to his nomadic life-style albeit this time with the clear aim of improving his own knowledge and capabilities. He lived with some horse sheperds on the mountain, he got to know the world of legends and story-telling, the voices for these stories being the „moldo“ – Tajik clairvoyants, Buryati exorcists, and Kyrgyz shamanist healers, learning from them the art of "mescheness" – the ancient way of mystic meditation.<br /><br />Later on, he reunited with his family in Prague where he attended university, travelled to study in Europe and in the near East, he visited millenary kabbala centres in Safed and Sufist schools in Istambul. <br />Finally, he settled in Italy where for some years he did some fairly low-key jobs: decorator, lyrical theatre actor, cleaner, factory worker, railwayman, translator, teacher of languages, and horse breeder.<br />Time unfurled his promise: at the age of 41, Marwin returned to drawing and painting. In 2007, he organized his first informal art shows and he basically started the discipline where he successfully intertwines Oriental roots with the Italian world by creating Creative Archaeology.<br /><br />------------Marwin Lee Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18228783783931430014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003608701125443573.post-67838542093169946792008-04-02T09:42:00.000-07:002008-12-11T09:09:13.420-08:00L’Archéologie créative<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAN9hfOIPy2JEZRtSySo5PoQFOFKSMMEZi4QC3UWbFZle2BBMIZaOr51sajYOu_ygnk_I4jZnITVJPU5H_WizcdUKIf-XVo4xYY_OXxoja8yGHQeYOWtTz0Tgxk_PO0gZGCifW6xWbkykt/s1600-h/pergola001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAN9hfOIPy2JEZRtSySo5PoQFOFKSMMEZi4QC3UWbFZle2BBMIZaOr51sajYOu_ygnk_I4jZnITVJPU5H_WizcdUKIf-XVo4xYY_OXxoja8yGHQeYOWtTz0Tgxk_PO0gZGCifW6xWbkykt/s320/pergola001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184690013735452146" /></a><br /><br />Difficile de définir le style avec lequel débute cet excentrique artiste praguois, d’origine ouzbek. Des images poétiques et ironiques à la fois, des animaux totémiques, des thèmes naturalistes contenus dans des réductions géométriques, des portraits et des figures d’origine et d’inspiration asiatique, ou plutôt, selon ses dires, chamaniques, tout cela avec un fort impact visuel et chamarré. Aquarelles, qui la plupart du temps ressemblent à des impressions réalisées sur des superficies irrégulières, altérées par des traces antérieures, ressemblant presque à des palimpsestes recyclés ou à des parchemins décolorés. Oeuvres aux titres qui entrecroisent l’ouzbek, le yiddish, l’anglais macaronique, le russe et l’espagnol, créant quelques fois des jeux de mots raffinés et des effets de sens en contraste avec la formulation de l’image picturale joyeusement limpide. Mais sur le fond de cette peinture chamanique, on trouve véritablement cela : la matérialité des symboles et des segments qui y sont anthropomorphisés, les formes du monde animal ou vivant reportées sur le plan symbolique de l’aplanissement géométrique, sans compter l’iconisation déclarée de l’image. C’est ainsi que se réalise l’affrontement entre les deux plans superposés du signe et de signifiant, duquel jaillit un paradigme interprétatif toujours amusant et captivant, un discours dont les suggestions symboliques ne nuisent pas, mais au contraire valorisent l’apparente simplicité du message visuel.<br /><br />Presque parallèlement à la peinture chamanique, naît également le mouvement consacré à l’environnement italien, plus spécifiquement toscan, région où Beck a trouvé demeure ces dernières années. Entrecroisant les origines spirituelles asiatiques à l’halo mystique qui depuis toujours entoure la disparition de la culture étrusque, Beck recrée sa vision personnelle de l’habitat du peuple arrivé de la mer. Marqué profondément par les importantes statues étrusques misent au jour dans les années 1970, exposées aujourd’hui au Musée Étrusque de Murlo, aux alentours de Sienne- statues qui portent des chapeaux identiques par la forme à celles des carreteros mexicains ( mais aussi à quelques antiques statues funéraires chinoises), aux yeux modelés selon les canons des masques tribaux africains et aux longues barbes de pure style babylonien-, l’Artiste s’aperçoit que ces pièces, véritables « archétypes de métissage », peuvent se révéler la pointe d’un iceberg beaucoup plus imposant : il se jette alors dans un exténuant travail de recherche. Finalement, son intuition le porte vers un ancien établissement étrusque et de culture autochtone, que Beck, pour la distinguer des hypothèses historiques désormais renommées, rebaptise Etruvia. Bien vite, ses efforts portent ses premiers fruits (Beck, polyvalent, s’est formé au travail d’archéologue directement sur le terrain il y a quelques années, participant aux fouilles dans les zones de Samarcanda et de Khiva en Ouzbékistan) : des anciens murets et des cavités souterraines perdus dans la campagne ignorée du tourisme, commencent à rendre des trésors gardés pendant des millénaires. C’est ainsi que Beck annonce à la fin du printemps 2007, la découverte d’une quantité importante de fragments de manuscrits et de dessins, dénommés par la suite « le trésor Etruvien », et se met à restaurer et à remettre à jour les parties les moins endommagées par le temps et les intempéries. Très vite, il réalisera qu’au milieu de ce matériel amplement hétérogène, que ce soit par l’incompréhension linguistique (n’oublions pas que l’écriture de ce peuple reste jusqu’à aujourd’hui indéchiffrée), ou par la multitude de contenus artistiques appartenant à tous les niveaux expressifs, un groupe d’œuvres se distingue cependant par la clarté de son langage visuel et par sa densité stylistique : certaines d’entres elles conservent les traces d’un même sigle artisanal. De cette manière, Beck parvient, par le biais d’un travail minutieux, à identifier et à isoler une source d’art antique jusqu’ici inconnue attribuable à un auteur (ou tout au plus, à sa boutique) qu’il appellera Anonyme Etruvien. <br /><br />L’exposition, accueillie par le prestigieux LifeGate Café, consacrée exclusivement aux œuvres de l’Anonyme Etruvien, retrouvées, recomposées et restaurées par Marwin Beck, offre un regard fascinant sur ce passé qui pendant tant d’années fut rejeté dans les méandres de l’oubli. Beck nous conduit dans le cœur de l’ancienne Etruvia, peuplée de gens occupés par la pêche et le jardinage. Il nous donne à voir des regards envoûtants et intenses, pleins d’une singulière nostalgie pour leur monde disparu, sur le fond d’un convaincant scénario collinaire toscan. A travers les exemples extraordinaire mis à jour par Beck, une chose apparaît désormais plus qu’évidente : les gestes et les postures chargés d’une émotivité intérieure débordante, presque baroque et de claire matrice méditerranéenne, d’une simplicité lucide et d’une fine habilité, prédisent, dans la myriade des petites influences ou des évidents emprunts composites, thématiques et structuraux, ce qui réapparaîtra, des siècles plus tard, autant dans la peinture classique, que dans celle du modernisme antiacadémique du début du XXe siècle.<br />Une section importante des œuvres exposées est consacrée à la faune et la flore étruvienne, dans laquelle domine la série ichtyographique et ornithographique qui nous surprend et nous fascine non seulement pour l’antique maestria de l’exécution détaillée, mais aussi pour ses implications scientifiques. En effet, ces séries semblent prédire, à distance de quelques siècles, ce que seulement l’époque moderne, Les Lumières et l’encyclopédisme européen rendront possibles, à savoir la classification et l’observation scientifique détaillée des espèces vivantes, démontrant également dans ce domaine comment la culture étruvienne posa une grande partie des bases sur lesquelles reposent notre civilité même.<br /><br />(traduction on Français du Aurore Navarro)Marwin Lee Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18228783783931430014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003608701125443573.post-56220757088286072552008-03-31T11:47:00.001-07:002009-04-27T18:13:26.149-07:00How To Buy the Paintings<div style="text-align: justify;"> * Email me for a price list of available paintings.

While intertwining spiritual Asian influences with the mysterious aura that has always surrounded the extinct Etruscan culture, Beck recreates his own vision of the habitat of the people that came from the sea. <br />Marwin was deeply struck by the impressive Etruscan statues brought back to light in the Seventies and displayed today at the Etruscan Museum of Murlo, near Siena. These statues wear hats that are identical in shape to those of Mexican carreteros (but also to some ancient Chinese funerary statues), with eyes evoking those depicted in African tribal masks and long beards in the truest Babylon style. The Artist perceived that these findings, the real “archetypes of the hybrid people”, could be the tip of an even more impressive iceberg and threw himself into carrying out extensive research. In the end, his intuition led to follow the traces of an ancient Etruscan settlement and of an autochthon culture that Beck renamed Etruvia to distinguish it from the already well-known historical theories. Very soon, his efforts brought the first positive results (the polyhedric Beck learnt the work of an archaeologist hands on, many years ago, when involved in excavations in the Uzbek Samarkanda and Khiva area). Ancient walls and underground galleries in secluded Tuscan countryside ignored by tourism have begun to yield treasures that had been preserved for thousands of years.<br />Hence, late in the Spring of 2007, Beck announced the finding of an impressive quantity of hand-written manuscripts and drawings, later on called “the Etruvian treasure”, and started restoring and showing those parts that were violated by time and the inclemency of the weather.<br />Beck soon realized that a amidst widely heterogeneous material, both for its linguistic incomprehensibility (let us not forget that the writings of this people are still unintelligible today), and for the vastness of artistic content belonging to all the different levels of expression, a collection of works stood out for the clarity of the visual language and consistency of style and some of which bear the traces of the initials of the same craftsman. <br />With this painstaking work, Beck managed to identify and isolate a source of ancient artwork until now unknown and attributable to one author (or his workshop) who he would call the Anonymous Etruvian.<br />The rest is current day history, and the results of the method that Beck summarises in the manifest of the Creative Archaeology start to create a stir. <br />The exhibition, in the prestigious surroundings of the LifeGate Café, is totally devoted to the works of the Anonymous Etruvian, rediscovered, reconstructed and restored by Marwin Beck and gives an enchanting insight into the past that for so long was sunk in oblivion. <br />Beck takes us back to the heart of ancient Etruvia, inhabited by people devoted to fishing and gardening and he offers us thought-provoking and intense insights, full of special nostalgia for their world that disappeared into the enticing hilly Tuscan landscape way. <br />Gestures and postures rich in overwhelming inner sensitivity, almost baroque, and with a clear Mediterranean matrix, with total simplicity and acute ability announce what will resurface centuries later in the myriads of small influences or clear evocations be they of the composition, thematic or structural, both in the era of classic painting and in the era of the most anti-academic modernism of the beginning of the XX century, which is more than obvious if we look at the extraordinary examples brought back to life by Beck.<br />A wide section of the works being exhibited is dedicated to the Etruvian fauna and flora, whereby the ichthyic-graphic and birdlife-graphic series prevails, which surprises and casts its spell on us not only for the ancient mastery of the detailed execution, but also for its scientific implications since it seems to announce from centuries far back in time that which only the modern era, the Enlightenment and European encyclopaedism will make possible – i.e. the classification and scientific observation of details in living species, demonstrating how in this field too the Etruvian culture was a formidable forerunner for the basis of our own civilization.<br /><br /><br />(text by Cristina Bongiorno)<br />(translantion in english by: Studio Kelma di Patrizia Baroni, Milano)Marwin Lee Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18228783783931430014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003608701125443573.post-38117982884895253382008-02-28T04:19:00.000-08:002008-12-11T09:09:14.058-08:00<a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/marslik/pic/00009a43/g3">Sacre foigele</a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7yMgKBMEY2fz96fdBsOyYK-BJd5F13mefL5_BD_hpdm7wSgyO03_Ph4j6Nmm3JYgUIAOuar1KhaX-hiDJU6x4VROnyHYM3Mjso75wHRCYSs0t5hV5BOOuXTZjXfsR7KPP9s67Qe10bMhy/s1600-h/Sacre-foigel001.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Immagini poetiche e ironiche allo stesso tempo di animali totemici, temi naturalistici in riduzione geometriche, ritratti e figure d'origine o ispirazione asiatica, anzi, a suo dire, sciamanica, ma tutti con forte impatto visivo e coloristico. Acquarelli che il più delle volte appaiono come stampe impresse su superfici irregolari, alterate da tracce precedenti, quasi palinsesti riciclati o pergamene sbiadite; opere con titoli che intersecano uzbeco, yiddish, inglese maccheronico, russo e spagnolo, creando a volte raffinati giochi di parole o di senso messi a contrasto con un’impostazione della visione pittorica di giocosa limpidezza. Ma sullo sfondo di questa pittura sciamanica c'è proprio questo - attraverso i simboli e i segmenti materici che vengono antropomorfizzati o attraverso le forme del mondo animato e vivente riportati sul piano simbolico dall’appiattimento geometrico e con la dichiarata iconizzazione dell'immagine - si realizza lo scontro costante tra i piani sovrapposti di segni e i significati da cui scaturisce un paradigma di lettura sempre divertente e trascinante, un discorso le cui suggestive implicazioni simboliche non pregiudicano e anzi valorizzano l'apparente semplicità del messaggio visivo.

Il naît à Boukhara, ville située dans l’Ouzbékistan moderne, durant l’une des plus spectaculaires tempêtes de sables, et des plus mémorables. Au cours de cette lointaine journée de 1966, l’ancienne capitale du mysticisme oriental fut recouverte d’un fin manteau de sable rouge provenant du désert de Kyzylkoum.<br />Descendant d’une famille dont la mémoire remonte encore à l’époque du grand Khanat de Khazarie, connu pour son extraordinaire tolérance, son ouverture culturelle, son obéissance aux antiques traditions et son dévouement au service du prochain, Marwin montait à cheval bien avant de savoir marcher- grâce à son arrière-grand-père, un héros légendaire ayant appartenu à la cavalerie de la première guerre mondiale ; et savait distinguer les différentes espèces de plantes médicinales, avant même d’avoir commencer à lire- grâce à son arrière-grand-mère, guérisseuse, qui chaque année l’amenait avec elle dans les splendides vallées du Tian Shan pour cueillir le « byline »-herbe officinale, et boire le kéfir, la mythique boisson de longue vie des bergers nomades.<br />A quatre ans, Marwin part vivre à Prague, centre d’une autre culture saturée de tradition et de mysticisme. C’est ici que pour la première fois il reçoit les enseignements des Écritures et devient un élève très attentif de son grand-père Alvise Dov Liebeck. Encore jeune garçon, il fréquente à Prague l’école primaire et en respire la riche vie culturelle : théâtres, expositions, galeries, concerts. Les sombres salles de lecture des bibliothèques publiques et les étroits labyrinthes des librairies pragoises, comblés de livres usés et anciens, deviennent le monde dans lequel il aime à se plonger. Malgré tout, la nostalgie du désert silencieux empli de tensions cachées, et les rappels des éblouissantes et verdoyantes prairies printanières eurent le dessus et Marwin rentre à Boukhara à l’âge où il doit choisir son futur.<br />Il s’inscrit à l’Institut des Arts Appliqués et de l’Artisanat, se spécialisant dans la calligraphie. Très tôt, il prend conscience des scléroses qui étouffent le système scolaire soviétique, il opte pour la rébellion et fuit. Il erre par les pays d’Asie centrale, travaille occasionnellement, participe aux mouvements culturels clandestins, vit au jour le jour, jusqu’au moment où il pénètre par hasard dans une petite boutique artisanale à Ferghana, non loin de la native Boukhara. Là, il connaît celui qui deviendra son maître et guide spirituel Hd. Daud al-Din Sharisbani, humble décorateur de maison et peintre de miniatures, lequel, comme Marwin le découvre par la suite, est un des derniers membres survécus de la légendaire congrégation des derviches dansant de Boukhara, emportée par la terreur stalinienne des années trente.<br />Marwin pendant quelques années étudie et travaille avec le maître- mais avant de franchir le seuil de l’antique habilité soufie et de « voir le monde réel », il doit faire une promesse, une sorte de serment de dévotion, de preuve : ne jamais exercer l’Art avant d’avoir atteint l’âge de 41 ans- qui dans la tradition centre-asiatique est le numéro magique par excellence.<br />Après un long apprentissage, Marwin retourne à la vie nomade, mais cette fois-ci, avec le but précis d’approfondir ses propres connaissances et son habilité. Il vit parmi les éleveurs de chevaux montagnards, il connaît le monde peuplé des mythes et de traditions orales, dont les médiateurs sont les « moldo »-voyants tadjiks, exorcistes bouriates et chamanes guérisseurs khirgises, apprenant d’eux l’art de la « mescheness »-l’antique voie de la médiation mystique.<br />Par la suite, il rejoint sa famille à Prague, fréquente l’université, accomplit des voyages en Europe et au Proche-Orient, visite les millénaires centres cabalistes à Safed et les écoles soufies à Istanbul.<br />Enfin, il s’installe en Italie où, pendant quelques temps, il exerce des métiers peu reluisants : peintre en bâtiment, stucateur, acteur de théâtre lyrique, balayeur, ouvrier ferroviaire, traducteur, professeur de langue et éleveur de chevaux.<br /><br />Le temps dégèle le serment : à 41 ans, Marwin commence à dessiner et à peindre. En 2007, il organise ses premières expositions informelles et surtout, il jette les bases de la discipline dans laquelle il réussit à unir ses racines orientales à l’environnement italien, donnant vie à l’Archéologie Créative.Marwin Lee Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18228783783931430014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003608701125443573.post-90091327864627995812008-02-22T14:47:00.000-08:002008-12-11T09:09:16.988-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW19OTtrN3hbiS0-5aUz9JBmIjPkmJY99nI4XWblITBqo4T4MMF3Anwa4QPRnPyWbRtrjvZaoRFkRm06DnX21lHU8bWzeywNmoH1Zv8wziU-gXkqRK-KciARS_M7TXxphZ05H7L5gU296v/s1600-h/Facciata+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW19OTtrN3hbiS0-5aUz9JBmIjPkmJY99nI4XWblITBqo4T4MMF3Anwa4QPRnPyWbRtrjvZaoRFkRm06DnX21lHU8bWzeywNmoH1Zv8wziU-gXkqRK-KciARS_M7TXxphZ05H7L5gU296v/s320/Facciata+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173971557765179858" /></a><br /><br /><br />... intersecando le influenze spirituali asiatiche con l'alone misterico che da sempre avvolge la scomparsa cultura etrusca – Beck ricrea la propria visione dell’habitat del popolo arrivato dal mare. Colpito profondamente dalle imponenti statue etrusche riportate alla luce negli anni settanta e oggi esposte nel Museo etrusco di Murlo, nei pressi di Siena, statue che indossano cappelli identici per forma a quelli dei carreteros messicani (ma anche di alcune antiche statue funerarie cinesi), con gli occhi modellati secondo i canoni delle maschere tribali africane e lunghe barbe in puro stile babilonese, l’Artista percepisce che questi reperti, veri "archetipi del metticcio" possono essere la punta di un iceberg molto più imponente e si getta in un estenuante lavoro di ricerca. Alla fine la sua intuizione lo porta sulle tracce di una antico insediamento etrusco e di una cultura autoctona che Beck, per distinguerla dalle ipotesi storiche ormai note, rinomina Etruvia. Ben presto i suoi sforzi portano i primi frutti (il poliedrico Beck ha appreso anni fa il lavoro di archeologo direttamente sul campo, partecipando agli scavi nella zona di Samarcanda e Khiva in Uzbekistan) e antichi muretti e cavità sotterranee tra sperdute campagne toscane ignorate dal turismo cominciano a restituire tesori custoditi per millenni. E così che Beck annuncia nella tarda primavera del 2007 il ritrovamento di un’imponente quantità di frammenti manoscritti e disegni denominato più tardi "il tesoro Etruviano" e si mette a restaurare e riportare alla luce le parti meno violate da tempo e intemperie. Ben presto realizzerà che in mezzo a materiale ampiamente eterogeneo, sia per l’incomprensibilità linguistica (non dimentichiamo che la scrittura di questo popolo rimane fino a oggi indecifrata), sia per la moltitudine di contenuti artistici appartenenti a tutti i livelli espressivi, si distingue per chiarezza del linguaggio visivo e compattezza stilistica un gruppo di opere di cui alcune recano traccia di un’identica sigla artigianale. In questo modo Beck giunge, attraverso un lavoro minuzioso, a identificare e isolare una fonte di arte antica finora sconosciuta attribuibile a un autore (o al massimo alla sua bottega) che chiamerà Anonimo Etruviano.<br /><br />L'esposizione dedicata esclusivamente alle opere dell’Anonimo Etruviano, ritrovate, ricomposte e restaurate da Marwin Beck offre all’interno del prestigioso spazio del LifeGate Cafè che lo a ospita, uno sguardo affascinante del passato che per tanto tempo è stato ammantato d’oblio. Beck ci riconduce nel cuore dell'antica Etruvia, popolata da gente dedita a pesca e giardinaggio, ci offre sguardi avvolgenti e intensi, pieni di singolare nostalgia per il loro mondo scomparso sullo sfondo del suadente scenario collinare toscano. I gesti e le posture carichi di traboccante emotività interiore, quasi barocchi e di chiara matrice mediterranea, con lucida semplicità e tagliente abilità preannunciano ciò che riemergerà secoli dopo nelle miriadi di influenze piccole o evidenti prestiti compositivi, tematici o strutturali, sia nell’epoca della pittura classica sia, e questo ormai è più che evidente confrontandoci con gli straordinari esempi portati alla luce da Beck, nell'epoca del modernismo antiaccademico dell’inizio del XX sec.<br />Un’ampia sezione di opere esposte è dedicata a fauna e flora etruviana, in cui domina la serie ittografica e aviografica che ci sorprende e affascina non solo per l'antica maestria della dettagliata esecuzione, ma anche per le sue implicazioni scientifiche, dato che pare preannunciare a distanza di secoli, ciò che soltanto l'epoca moderna, l'Illuminismo e enciclopedismo europeo renderanno possibile – ovvero la classificazione e scientifica osservazione nel dettaglio delle specie viventi, dimostrando anche in questo campo come la cultura etruviana fu una grande precorritrice delle basi su cui poggia la nostra stessa civiltà.<br /><br /> (testo a cura di Cristina Bongiorno)Marwin Lee Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18228783783931430014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003608701125443573.post-56661525520915757332008-02-21T04:54:00.001-08:002008-12-11T09:09:17.389-08:00Buchara<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQ4sJIstXNAJeYFre7wPBqGBnCd5nEA1yZr-74Zp7U2WexbW0nQ6SEulAfHAZ0JC22qqvfrok5owyAVFOzhNqISSaJqCuFLiYg4MKmrhP9YkmeTqy3EPZh48wUHT9pvLWfhNoruJEJqMi/s1600-h/Buchara002.jpg"><img style="display:block;

E’ nato nella città di Buchara, nell'odierno Uzbekistan, durante una delle più spettacolari tempeste di sabbia che è dato ricordare. In quel giorno del lontano 1966 l'antica capitale del misticismo orientale si ricoperse di un sottile manto di sabbia rossa proveniente dal deserto Kyzyl-Kum. <br />Discendente di una famiglia la cui memoria risale ancora all'epoca del grande Canato di Chazaria, nota per sua straordinaria tolleranza, apertura culturale, osservanza delle antiche tradizioni e dedizione al servizio del prossimo, Marwin, prima di camminare bene già sapeva andare a cavallo - grazie al bisnonno, un leggendario eroe della cavalleria della Prima Guerra Mondiale; e prima di leggere, sapeva distinguere tutte le specie di piante medicinali, grazie alla bisnonna, una guaritrice che ogni anno lo portava con sé nelle splendenti valli di Tian-Shan a raccogliere le "byline" – erbe officinali, e a bere kefir, la mitica bevanda di lunga vita dei pastori nomadi.<br />A quattro anni Marwin va a vivere a Praga, nel centro di un'altra cultura satura di tradizioni e misticismo. Qui viene per la prima volta avvicinato agli insegnamenti delle scritture e diviene un attentissimo allievo di suo nonno Alvise Dov Liebeck. Ancora ragazzo, a Praga frequenta le prime scuole e ne respira la ricca vita culturale: teatri, mostre, gallerie, concerti. Buie sale di lettura nelle biblioteche pubbliche o stretti labirinti delle librerie praghesi stracolme di libri usati e antichi, divengono il mondo in cui ama sprofondarsi. Malgrado tutto, la nostalgia per il silenzio del deserto colmo di tensione nascosta e il richiamo dell'accecante verde dei prati primaverili di alta montagna, hanno alla meglio e Marwin torna a Buchara nell'età in cui deve scegliere il suo futuro. <br />Si iscrive all'Istituto di Arti applicate e Artigianato, specializzandosi in calligrafia. Ben presto resosi conto della sclerosi che avvolge tutto il sistema scolastico sovietico, si vota alla ribellione e fugge. Vaga per i paesi dell'Asia centrale, fa lavori occasionali, partecipa ai movimenti culturali clandestini, vive alla giornata, finché un giorno non entra per caso in una piccola bottega artigianale a Ferghana, non lontano dalla natia Buchara. Qui conosce colui che diverrà suo maestro e guida spirituale Hd. Daud al-Din Sharisbani, umile decoratore di case e pittore di miniature il quale, come Marwin scopre più tardi, è uno degli ultimi membri sopravissuti della leggendaria congregazione dei dervisci danzanti di Buchara, spazzata via dal terrore staliniano degli anni trenta. <br />Marwin per alcuni anni studia e lavora insieme al maestro – ma prima di varcare la soglia dell’antica abilità del sufismo di "vedere il mondo reale" deve fare una promessa, una specie di sigillo di devozione e prova allo stesso tempo: di non esercitare l'Arte fino al compimento dell'età di 41 anni – che nella tradizione centroasiatica è il numero magico per eccellenza.<br />Dopo il lungo apprendistato, Marwin torna alla vita nomade, ma questa volta con lo scopo preciso di approfondire le proprie conoscenze e abilità. Vive tra i pastori di cavalli sulle montagna, conosce il mondo popolato di miti e tradizioni orali, i cui portatori sono i "moldo" – veggenti tagichi, esorcisti buryati e guaritori sciamanici kirgisi, imparando da loro l'arte della "mescheness" – l‘antica via di meditazione mistica.<br />Successivamente si riunisce con la famiglia a Praga, frequenta l‘università, compie viaggi di studio in Europa e vicino Oriente, visita millenari centri kabbalistici a Safed e scuole sufiche a Istambul. <br />Infine si stabilisce in Italia dove per alcuni anni esercita mestieri poco appariscenti: imbianchino, attore di teatro lirico, adetto alle pulizie, operaio, ferroviere, traduttore, insegnante di lingue e allevatore di cavalli.<br /><br /><br />Il tempo dissuggella il giuramento: a 41 anni, Marwin ricomincia a disegnare e dipingere. Nel 2007 organizza le prime mostre informali, e, soprattutto, getta le basi della disciplina in cui riesce a intrecciare le radici orientali con l’ambiente italiano dando vita a: l'Archeologia creativa.<br /><br />------------Marwin Lee Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18228783783931430014noreply@blogger.com
