Today I talk about Adolfo Couve.

He is a painter and my model; I love his Picture and his "nostalgic realism ".

Adolfo Couve borned in 1940 at Valparaiso. He studied arts at the Escuela de Bellas Artes at Santiago, also he attended the Bellas Artes School of Paris in 1962 and he studied at Art’s student league in Ney York.

He was teacher at the Universidad de Chile and the Pontificie Universidad Católica de Chile.

He died at Cartagena in 1998.

In his painting he search the fleeting moment, the instant, using one pictorial language very natural born of the relation whit the objects and topics.

This picture it’s defined as “nostalgic realism”. His painting its definite for intimate vision of little portraits, landscapes and still life, reflects his keen visual perception and reflect his keen visual perception and his management light, the shadow, the atmosphere.

He abandoned painting and devoted himself to literature; he developed in his reflections and theories about art. His work as “descriptive realism”. Among his Works we can name: La lección de pintura.

“La lección de pintura” wrote for him, he talk about that’s problem in the picture around his life and one difficulty in his world: The loneliness.
