Caspar David Friedrich: The Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin

Mónica Boixeda Berliner, Only-Be

There are many persuasive claims which are capable of guiding our steps towards the splendid neoclassic building of Corinthian aspect which is where the Alte Nationalgalerie is in Berlin (http://www.smb.museum/smb/sammlungen/details.php?lang=en&objID=17&n=1&r=2). Among others, its own façade of red sandstone, built between 1866 and 1876 according to its design inspired by Schinkel, by the architects Friedrich August Stüler and Johann Heinrich Strack, which had to be rebuilt, like the rest of the building, after the damage caused by Allied bombing during the Second World War, and the outstanding presence in its rooms of the ´Mill On The Couleuvre at Pontoise´, the first work by Cezanne which was exhibited in a museum, some splendid paintings by Manet and Degas, its excellent collection of scultpures and, most specially, its romantic painting section, where they shine with their own light, shall we say dark and golden, tumultuous and calm, the seventeen paintings of Caspar David Friedrich (1744-1840), one of the indisputable cult painters of the last two-hundred years, which is exhibited here. Referring to romantic paitning, David D´Angers coined the term ´The Landscape Tragedy´.

Mónica Boixeda Barcelonian, Only-Be

The Kooks were born in 2004 and soon became extremely famous, they filled stadiums with fans and sold thousands of copies around the world. All this was thanks to their song called “Naive” which was part of the InsideIn / Inside Out album. Then time made things happen, the boys became more and more famous and, after launching their second album, which bore the name of Konk, the third arrived, which was released only a few days ago(September 12) . Luke Pritchard, Hugh Harris, Paul Garred and Peter Denton will be present themselves as those who currently are part of the group after one of its members left due to drug problems. Their first album left no less than 6 singles in the top 40 charts in Britain, and as it is known around the world, besides having one of the most important charts in the world, it is also one of the most complicated one to achieve success due to a more informed public. The second album, received a welcoming that few bands have had throughout the history of rock, and placed them first in the list of best selling albums in Britain with more than 65 000 copies sold in the first week. This time the group from Brighton, England, is touring to promote their third album and under this framework will be presented in Barcelona on October 23 at Sala Razzmatazz so all European country fans can enjoy of Junk the Heart, which is the name of their new album.
