Bilbao sculptor and artist <strong>Agust\u00edn Ibarrola<\/strong> [1930-2023] started painting it in 1983 and didn&#8217;t finish it until 1991. He wanted to stress a new connection between nature and art by linking the works of Palaeolithic artists with the modern movement known as Land Art.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the turn of the century, Agust\u00edn has been targeted by terrorists, and the forest vandalised by radicals on three occasions; \u00a0later restored by Fine Arts students. In 2020 the wood was closed down due to a fungus which fatally affects pine trees in the Basque Country. Three years later, the painted forest has been restored and relocated nearby.<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"watch-headline-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2666 \u00a0Txalaparta \u00a0\u2193<\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2uYB7_KUIJ8\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>\u2022\u2192<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacred-texts.com\/neu\/basque\/lbp\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Legends and Popular Tales of the Basque People<\/a><\/strong>\u2190by\u00a0Mariana Monteiro\u00a0[1887]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>\u00a0\u2022\u2192<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacred-texts.com\/neu\/basque\/bl\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Basque Legends<\/a><\/strong>\u2190by\u00a0Wentworth Webster\u00a0[1879]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>\u25ca \u00a0Lands of Nevada \u00a0\u21d3 <\/strong>\u00a0[Mark Knopfler]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/00a74iK4dmY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These Tables Are Haunted<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">By The Ghosts Of Las Vegas<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Their Chips Were Once Mountains<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But They Came Here To Play<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They Could Take Me If They Wanted<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But I Have Nothing Worth Counting<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And Like The Sands Of Nevada<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They Go Drifting Away<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lady Luck&#8217;s Still A Mystery<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With Her Head On My Shoulder<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And I Don&#8217;t Know Why<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I Still Want Her To Dance<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I Guess That&#8217;s All History<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What It Is Is I&#8217;m Older<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And I&#8217;m Still A Fool<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For A One-Way Romance<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Her Dice Were Red Rubies<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They Rolled And They Tumbled<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And I Never Saw Time<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Running Out With My Roll<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And In A Wasteland Of Cut Glass<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My Dreams Have All Crumbled<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And I&#8217;ve Paid With Whatever<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I Had Left For A Soul<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now The Dawn&#8217;s Broken Even<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On An Empty Horizon<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No Reason For Folding<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No Reason To Stay<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It&#8217;s Too Soon To Be Leaving<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Too Late For Criticising<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And The Sands Of Nevada<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They Go Drifting Away<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u2022\u2192http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/Mikel_Laboa \/ \u2022\u2192obituary<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2666 Baga biga higa \u2193 [from Julio Medem&#8217;s \u00abEuskal pilota: Larrua harriaren kontra\u00bb &#8211; 2003]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/p>\n<p> Baga, biga, higa, laga, boga, sega, Zai, zoi, bele, harma, tiro, pun!
