Robert Brady Museum II
Robert Brady Museum
House - Museum : Cultural Center
In the shadow of the Cathedral of Cuernavaca the Casa
de la Torre houses a unique collection of fine and decorative arts from all
over the world. The visitor will enjoy a house-museum created in a portion of a
massive adobe and stone XVI century Franciscan Monastery.
This collection (more than 1,300 pieces) was
assembled by Robert Brady (1928-1986). Born in Iowa with a career in the fine
arts at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Tyler Arts Center of Temple
University and the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania, he established
residence in Venice, Italy for five years before settling in Cuernavaca,
Mexico in 1962. [Brady Museum]

For Your Eyes Only
In the Art of
Dreaming Don Juan tells Carlos,
"… most of
our energy goes into upholding our importance…
If we were
capable of losing some of that importance,
two extraordinary
things would happen to us.
One, we would
free our energy from trying to maintain the illusory idea of our grandeur; and
two we would provide ourselves with enough energy to ...
Catch a glimpse
of the actual grandeur of the Universe."
The spirit
listens only when the speaker speaks in gestures. And gestures do not
mean signs or body movements, but acts of true abandon, acts of largesse, of
humor.
As a gesture to
the spirit, warriors bring out the best of themselves and silently offer it to
the abstract.
~Carlos Castaneda

The Basilica
of the Sacred Heart of Paris, commonly known as Sacré-Cœur Basilica, is
a Roman Catholic church and minor
basilica, in Paris, France. A
popular landmark, the basilica is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre,
the highest point in the city. Sacré-Cœur is a double monument, political and
cultural, both a national penance for the supposed excesses of the Second
Empire and socialist Paris Commune of 1871 crowning its most
rebellious neighborhood, and an embodiment of conservative moral order.
The
Sacré-Cœur Basilica was designed by Paul Abadie.
Construction began in 1875 and was finished in 1914. It was consecrated after
the end of World War I in 1919. [Wiki]

The Moment of Creation
 |
From Carlos
Castaneda's Journey to Ixtlan
People
tell us from the time we are born that the world is such and such
and so and
so, and naturally we have no choice but to see the world
the way
people have been telling us it is.
Seeing happens only when one sneaks between the
worlds;
The world
of ordinary people and the world of sorcerers.
The real
thing is when the body realizes that it can see.
Only then
is one capable of knowing that the world we look at every day
Is only a
description.
My intent has
been to show you that.
Only as a
warrior can one survive the path of knowledge,
Because
the art of a warrior
Is to
balance, the terror of being a man with the wonder of being a man.

The San Ildefonso College
 |
| The San Ildefonso College currently is a museum and cultural center in Mexico City, considered to be the birthplace of the Mexican muralism movement. San Ildefonso began as a prestigious Jesuit boarding school, and after the Reform War, it gained educational prestige again as National Preparatory School. This school and the building closed completely in 1978, then reopened as a museum and cultural center in 1994. The museum has permanent and temporary art and archeological exhibitions in addition to the many murals painted on its walls by José Clemente Orozco, Fernando Leal, Diego Rivera and others. The complex is located between San Ildefonso Street and Justo Sierra Street in the historic center of Mexico City. [Wiki] Take the Virtual Tour! |
