JEEVES INTERIORS ...

In this 'post' I provide some images of my interiors.

They were raised in a slow and long process of searching and trouvailles in flea markets or simply of things found on the street, at a time when sloppy nephews left in the trash the contents of recently disappeared aunts and grandmothers.

The continuity of the neoclassical theme dates from the period of my University studies in Art History, History of Architecture and Archaeology.

I leave you with quotes from the first two 'post' of Tweedland  below and with the revisit of the house of Mario Praz and his obsession with the Empire Style.

 

My first post in Tweedland consisted of only one title: "A King may make a Nobleman but he cannot make a gentleman" (Edmund Burke) WEDNESDAY, 26 NOVEMBER 2008

And in the second published in the same day, i said in Portuguese ( now quickly translated for you by GOOGLE) :

“The condition of "Gentle man" does not constitute a statute but a "state of soul".

In this sense, in a search that has as its initial premise "the being", the priority is given to "becoming" and not to "having".

In this process the civilizational attributes for which the gentleman longs and seeks a "way of being", are the reflection literally of "longing" of a lost archetypal place, to which it is necessary to "return", through the creation of a parallel and symbolic world, a true metaphor and micro-personal universe of quality, where he can "dwell".

The true moral, ethical and aesthetic posture for which the "Gentleman" naturally yearns and for which he tends, is that of the "Aristos", as defined by the Greeks .... the excellence of soul, the rigor of a code of conduct, fidelity to the vote, the persistence in faith.”
