Look at the Sky, Look with a Cool Head
Do you want to check the meaning of the word "winter"? The economic truth about winter was painted a long time ago by Bruegel. Three hunters, half a day of chasing in deep snow, a pack of thirteen dogs, one hunted fox. There is no madness.
You have to wait out the winter, with the least possible losses. If someone has accumulated supplies, they can wait by playing Curling As in the background at Bruegel's.
Latin Hiem(p)s, Tempus hemalis – Winter time Leads to simple and indiscutable phrases: Hiemo / χειμάζω - winter (also about the army). Winter is the time when, whether you like it or not, you move differently, more carefully, less. It is a treacherous time, although filled with clear, white light, delusioning that you can see everything clearly, as if on a snowy empty sheet of ice. But it's not exceptionally about the colour temperature. It's about a penetrating cold that reaches further than you are now able to reach on your own.
In Atlas, we rarely deal with museums. Images already yes.
Museum assurances that you see the first winter landscape in European painting are treacherous. It is enough to look around, move your head and the opinions established in some museum begin to crackle dangerously, falling like icicles.
Winter is the time when we should - against nature - slowly paint our own, thick, durable and safe picture of the world. Own colour on white ground.
Bruegel in 1565 his Winter He painted on a solid oak board, almost two and a half centimeters thick. A sheet of ice, a board, however, are trifles, they can slam underfoot and we will still get out. The winter sky is more disturbing. You have to look there now. Can't you see streaks, scratches, scratches on it through which light begins to seep with a completely inconceivable temperature. Your dogs will then start howling for no reason.
