"Let It Snow" ReEdit

Trains get stuck in the tunnel,
Red lights put buses in trouble,
If my flight is canceled there's no way to go;

Bloody Snow
Bloody Snow
Bloody Snow


Original:

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Nightwalks

Um das salas de reuniões do edifício onde trabalho tem este quadro:



Chama-se Nighthawks e é uma tela de 1942 por Edward Hopper.
O quadro não tem nada de especial nem na técnica utilizada nem no que retrata.

Mas imaginem como seria giro se quando a malta regressasse das férias encontrasse este(?):



Acredito que a maioria nem ia dar por isso.
Este acima é um Banksy. Tive oportunidade de o ver em Maio na Andipa Gallery e achei o único que não tinha piada. Ok, era um típico bife, banhoso, bêbado e nacionalista... mas mesmo assim ficava aquem do habitual. Agora reconheço a sátira e isto só mostra o que todos afirmam. Que Banksy é um grafitier com técnica e cultura artisticas. Suspeita-se que estudou belas-artes em Bristol.

Banksy não foi o primeiro a satirizar Nightwalks. Os Simpsons na 8ª série também o fizeram assim como alguém com Lego.



Depois disto o que não entendo é o quadro do Hopper.
