Another album on display: “Bestiaires”, brings together seven lithographs by the Yugoslavian Vladimir Velickovic (b. 1935) accompanying the exhibition of this painter that takes place at Galeria António Prates in Lisbon and with an introduction by the French critic Michel Onfray, an edition of Ateliers Paris Litho Uzès, France, July, 2007. Velickovic, an architect by training gave classes at the School of Fine Arts in Paris (1983-2000), the city where he has lived and worked since 1966. Velickovic's tragic universe portrays in the current album the cruelty of a contemporary experience with his procession of metaphors of a devouring time, of suffering and fatality of destruction and death. Writes Michel Onfray: “Bestiary emblematic of the human who, himself, bites and disguises the harmful effects thanks to a fearsome technology.” The darkness and pessimism of Velickovic's aesthetics are contrasted with the clarity and ascending purity of the speech of the poet-philosopher María Zambrano (1904-1996) present in the album homage to the great Spanish painter Juan Miró (1893-1983). The album reproduces the aforementioned text alongside a lithograph by the Cuban artist (b. 1938), Baruj Salinas: explosion of a sun, initial and splendid metaphor radiating a thousand scintillations on a background of submerged light, a cradle of nascent calligraphies, written by the soul and the Cosmos in loving dialogue (edition by Editart, Genève, 1980). Baruj Salinas, painter and engraver, graduated in architecture and lived in Miami and later in Barcelona, returning in 1992 to Miami where he currently resides. In Barcelona he lived and worked with artists such as Tàpies, Miró and Calder. A personal friend of María Zambrano, he illustrated her texts on several occasions, with emphasis on the book “Antes de la Ocultacion: los Mares” and dedicated two exhibitions to him in 2004 (Miami): “Claros del Bosque” and in 2007 (Málaga): “La Mirada del que Mira”.
