La actriz Jessica Lange, de imborrable recuerdo por, entre otras, su arrebatadora interpretación de la rebelde y atormentada Frances Farmer o aquellas tórridas escenas con Jack Nicholson en el remake de 'El Cartero Siempre Llama Dos Veces' (ese polvazo en la mesa llena de harina...), practica otra forma de expresión menos conocida. En los '70s se casó con el fotógrafo español Paco Grande, a quien conoció cuando era una estudiante en la Universidad de Arte de Minessota, amigo de Robert Frank y Danny Lyon y (debido a sus crecientes problemas de vista) practicante del extraño arte de la fotografía intuitiva; pero en el caso de Lange ella realmente empezó a fotografiar de forma habitual cuando su posterior pareja, el actor e intelectual Sam Shepard, le regaló una cámara Leica M6. Parte de ese trabajo se ha publicado en un libro con el nombre de '50 Photographs' y ha sido objeto de exposiciones individuales en varias Galerías de Arte, la última de ellas proyectada para Septiembre en el Centro Niemeyer de Avilés.
Jessica Lange, two times Oscar Award winner and of international fame for, among others, her captivating performance as actress Frances Farmer in the movie 'Frances' or those hot scenes with Jack Nicholson in the remake of 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' (that scene in a table full of flour...), has practiced other form of expression that remains little known. She was married during the '70s to spanish photographer Paco Grande, who she met when studying at the Art University of Minnesota and a friend of Robert Frank and Danny Lyon who (due to his growing viewing problems) became a master of the strange art of intuitive photography; but when it comes to Lange she really started taking photographs regurlaly when her partner for 30 years now, actor and intellectual Sam Shepard, gave her a Leica M6 camera. Part of that work has been published in a book called '50 Photographs' and has served for solo exhibitions in several Art Galleries, with another one planned for September in the Niemeyer Center in Aviles (Spain).
Jack Nicholson & Jessica Lange ('The Postman Always Rings Twice')
"Los artistas somos indestructibles, incluso estando encerrado en una cárcel puedo dibujar mis sueños con mis manos en el polvoriento suelo... incluso aunque me cortasen las manos lo seguiría haciendo con mi lengua", Pablo Ruiz Picasso. "We artists are indestructible; even in a prison, or in a concentration camp, I would be almighty in my own world of art, even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell."
