Klee and CoBrA: A Child’s play

Mónica Boixeda Amsterdammer, Only-Be

The painter Paul Klee (1879-1940) is one of those figures that´s used to put emphatically into question -according to a cliché deeply rooted into popular imagination and repeatedly illustrated on contemporary culture through, for example, the deep and memorable speech by Orson Welles in the film The Third Man (1949)- the alleged anti-artistic mind of the Swiss. However, we suspect that someone, maybe Welles himself interpreting or not one of his admirable and judgmental characters, could argue that the majority of Swiss artists, like Klee himself, have to usually leave their country to be able to flourish as creators. However way it is, during most of the 20th century, Klee was revered constantly as one of the great artists by different generations that have had his extremely free and original work as a constant source of inspiration and admiration. Contact in the first decade of the 20th century with German expressionists and the Blaue Reiter movement artists (Kandinsky, Marc, Macke…) and in the second decade with the colourful Orphism of the Delaunays and the Tunisian landscapes, made him completely abandon the monochromatic and disciplined precision of his early works in black and white to embrace colour with moving imagination and enthusiasm that credited him the honour of being included by the Nazis in the infamous list and exhibition of degenerate artists organized in Munich in 1937. The basic principles both of his pictorial production and his vastly influent theoretical and teaching activity (he was a professor at the Bauhaus from 1920 to 1931) are well expressed in his metaphor of the tree, whose trunk is the artist.

Only-Apartments in FITUR

Mónica Boixeda Lisboeta, Only-Be

Travel Bloggers play an important role in promoting tourism online sharing their adventures and experiences. Proof of this is that this year, unprecedented, these travel enthusiasts have had access to the International Tourism Fair of Madrid (FITUR) with its own accreditation. On Friday January 20 a social event of over 150 travel bloggers took place. The Travel Bloggers Meeting is a regular meeting that brings together bloggers from Spain, the rest of Europe and South America. The appointment was in FITUR and the route began at 12 at the stand of Tourism of Chile. Only-Apartments was there, accompanied by Kayak, sponsoring and enjoying the event. At Only-apartments we share the passion of discovering new places and we believe in the philosophy of traveling without being tourists, knowing the target and local cities. That´s why we have rewarded one of the bloggers, Cristina Venegas from Estaentumundo.com, with three nights at one of our apartments in Lisbon. In addition, Kayak has gifted a flight to Portugal’s capital. We would like to thank the organizers of the event, Eddy Lara and Maria Victoria who have given us the opportunity to collaborate and getting in touch “face-to-face, not digitally” with travelers as: Sele –Jose Miguel Redondo- from Rincondesele.com David Escribano of Viajablog Daniel Ruiz from Viajares.com Juan Antonio Matínez from Somosviajeros.com Ivan Marcos Peláez of Ciudadanoenelmundo Alejandro Martínez from Teleaire Inés Fernández Tuesta from Misviajesporahi Flavio of Lisboando And a long list of travelers who attended this great event…to all of them, thank you very much.
