In 1929 a surreal filmmaker, Louis Bunuel and an upstart artist named Salvador Dali collaborated to make the most outrageous avant-garde film of their times, “Un Chien Andalou”. This silent film made almost 100 years ago, stunned audiences with incredibly provocative imagery and remains a treasure to studied film aficionados. Yet as the century rounded a corner the clock had already melted on B&W silent films and Hollywood spectaculars, fast cuts and special effects crowd out vintage films for attention.
This original silent film was shown without a sound score to audiences throughout the early part of the 20th century. In the late 1940′s and 50′s Bunuel added a sparse sound track of classical music played at some performances. In the early 60′s it was again released with a classic soundtrack. It is agreed by most reviewers of the piece that without a soundtrack capturing the full spirit of the film, with its avant-garde kaleidoscopic imagery, makes the film unreachable for a modern audience. The film, if found, is in the dark corners with lost art films as quick musical shorts and stunning action films compete for the film audience.
Chicago composer and musician Richard Black has taken the astounding Bunuel/Dali visual masterpiece and blended an original soundtrack conceiving a new classic; a modern tour de force. “The Modern Dog” by Richard Black has embodied a creative blend of rock and electronic that pulses to the visual rhythm created by Bunuel and Dali, creating a new layer of aural pleasure specifically for this work.
The DVD is a Richard A. Siegel production distributed by Video Seconds. The DVD includes three new music videos, two of which were also inspired by the Avant-garde classic and are included with the extras on the Video Seconds DVD release. These extracted and modernized classics capture a new audience to a symbol of avant-garde through the music video medium. The DVD, appropriately named “The Modern Dog, Un Chien Andalou” is renewed into modern times.
“Un Chien Andalou” 1929 Classic avant-garde film by Louis Bunuel and Salvador Dali with a modern soundtrack composed and performed by Chicago musician Richard Black. The DVD is available exclusively at Video Seconds CD and DVD Sales Outlet. http://www.VideoSeconds.com

Born on October 25, 1881 in the city of Malaga, Spain, Pablo Ruiz Picasso is considered one of the masters of the 20th century art.
Picasso‘s full name is Diego Jose Santiago Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispin Crispiniano de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz Blasco y Picasso Lopez. He was the son of José Ruiz y Blasco and Maria Picasso y Lopez. During Picasso‘s early years, he used to sign his name as Ruiz Blasco, taken after his father. Since 1901, he started using his mother’s name whenever he signed his name.
Picassos is attributed to be the founder of Cubism together with Georges Braque. However, during his lifetime, he created an extensive and different body of works such as arts that featured moving representation of beggars, prostitutes, acrobats, and harlequins.
When Picasso was younger, he started as a painter. He firmly believed that for an artist to be considered as a “true artist” one must learn how to paint. Picasso also worked with collage, bronze sculptures, small ceramics, and even written some poetry. When he’s not working, Picassos wanted to be in company of people. In fact, he maintained a good relationship with many of his friends like Andre Breton, Gertrude Stein, and Guillaume Apollinaire among others. Aside from his wife, he also kept a number of mistresses.
Picasso‘s “Guernica” is believed to be his most famous work of art. In the canvas, he depicted the bombing of Germany in Guernica, Spain. Said canvass signified the brutality, hopelessness, and inhumanity of war. At present, “Guernica” is on display at Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain.
