How To Write Christening Card

Review: Swarovski Crystal Palace

A relative celebrating a birthday soon. My gift to you is here for quite a while. She estimates of Swarovski products, such as one might buy in a shop across the street eating in Frankfurt. In order to make her a joy, I have decided to give her this book Swarovski "Crystal Palace", that is for me very informative, because it has dispelled my prejudices with regard to Swarovski. So far I was or the name only with bright ornaments and knick-knacks like, things that I, for reasons which I will discuss at this point, have always viewed with great skepticism. leaves for taste But do not argue, so I am silent in this regard. Despite everything, the quality of said items is very good, no doubt.

In "Crystal Palace" is not about these things, but about the same project of Nadja Swarovski. Well-known designers come up with extremely beautiful and high-quality crystal works of art whose origins and mental conception in each book in the English language are explained in more detail. Among the designers is very appreciated by me among others, the Zaha Hadid with a really successful throw, like a photograph.

The reader may first delve into the history of the Swarovski family, in order then to deal with the works of the designers. Among the objects shown there are many elaborate, this very modern lighting structures which, surprise, surprise at the picture, breaking the light many times. In the large-format photos you win a lasting impression on the works of the artists. A notable example I find the light objects by Diller Scofidio and Renfro, one gets received at a double page. It is up sacks of netting material, filled with many large crystals in the center of each is hiding a halogen bulb that brings the crystals sparkle. depend on the picture - they vary in length, many such structures from the ceiling. The total work of art "Light Socks" is reminiscent of a dream that the fairy tale tells of the "Star collector" in an interesting manner and time according to a new imaginative daydreamer.

The artists are shown in the book objects: Alexandre de Betak, Amanda Levete / Future Systems, Arik Levy, Barber Osgerby, Chris Levine, David Rockwell, DB Kim, Diller Scofidio and Renfro, Fernamdo and Humberto Campana, Fredrikson Stallard, Gaetano Pesce, George Baldele, Greg Lynn, Gwenael Nicolas, Hussein Chalayan, Ingo Maurer Jaime Hayon and Karim Rashid, Marcel Wanders, Marcus Tremonto, Michael Gabellini, Naoto Fukasawa, Paul Cocksedge, Ron Arad Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Ross Lovegrove, Stefano Ricci, Studio Job, Tokujin Yoshioka, Tom Dixon, Tord Boontje, Vincent van Duysen, Yves Behar and Zaha Hadid.

The object of "Studio Job," I would like to see the original. The globe shows the Earth as a colorful, sparkling planet. If watching this work of art does not get a wanderlust is probably already died.

A successful art book, which I always conjures the word "light" in the head. If I had the choice between all lighting objects, I would ultimately the objects by Diller Scofidio and Renfro decide. In my eyes it is the most original and this simplest objects that are reminiscent of its kind to planets that glow in the night sky.

Coworker New Job Quotes

Review: L `Art Nouveau

The publisher of lavishly illustrated art book Gabriel P. Weisberg, Edwin Becker and Evelyne Possémé try in numerous essays by various writers of the history of the "Art Nouveau" trace. It was named this art movement based on the Paris gallery "L'Art Nouveau" the art dealer Siegfried Bing (1838-1905). This man is responsible for research, therefore interesting, because he appeared alongside his work as a dealer in Japanese art and first in the series of arts and crafts objects as a patron of the arts and as a creative entrepreneur. As we learn, he was responsible not only artists with the production of objects that he offered in his gallery for sale, but also called for workshops to life in which artists and craftsmen designed and produced objects. He hoped that these artists put his vision of the new art in the service of modern living culture, (see p. 6).

As part of the extensive essays will be informed of the beginning and end of the business, "L'Art Nouveau", witnessed the development of the family Bing, read by Siegfried Bing's trips to Japan, the increasing interest of French goods in Japan, the participation Siegfried Bings in exhibitions of Japanese art, his tremendous commitment as an art dealer from which eventually arose a new style of art that should carry the name of his business.

The book discusses among other with the role in the dissemination Bings Japanese ceramics. Here you learn a set of objects of the Japanese craft know visually also learn that even today some of the great collections of Japanese art are art history available, because this British once by the museum in London, the "Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and acquired the "State Museums of Berlin" (see: p. 45).

detail will be informed about the creation of "Japonisme" and can go for advice in this context, the Japanese influence of the fin de siècle. We learn of exhibitions and the sale of Asian art in America, the French Community projects American artists and artisans. Here we read for example of the cooperation with the Bings American artisans and designer Louis Comfort Tiffany. His manufactory of stained glass was located way in the Corona neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York City. In the book you get to know Tiffany various exhibits. Bing organized in the summer of 1897 an exhibition of works by Tiffany, where the artist was present. This exhibition should have been well attended. Bing sold a variety of exhibits to collectors and museums, thus fostering the name Tiffany, (see: p. 90).

We read of Bing's activities in Belgium. 1895, met Bing and Van der Velde. This was considered a living symbol the versatile artist, who was filled with a deep passion for his work. Philippe Thiébaut suggested that Bing when he van der Velde at the designs for the decoration of "L'Art Nouveau" asked already guessed that these artists are devoted heart and soul of the task would be to serve as apostles of a new aesthetic theories implement the act that would change the world (see: p. 107).

The pictures of "Les Salons de L'Art Nouveau" show magical showroom. As part of an essay you will be informed exactly how it looked like there in Paris. How to read, included a significant number of paintings in Bingham's first "Salon Nouveau LŽArt" to the flow of the symbolism. You get to know some of these pictures, including Fernand Khnopff on "Under fir" (p.133). This picture is I am a melancholy self-reflection, which reflects the autumnal thinning natural forms of mind, (see: p. 132). It is used by many other works of art of the first salons informed, including many works of different artists and Neo-Impressionist works by artists such as René Lalique glass and sculptures by Camille Claudel.

Bing's activities in Britain remain not spared and in this context, the arts and crafts workshops Morris, Liberty, and Henry, who were in England Bing's most important suppliers. The English artist and Heaton Brangwyn be presented before with Bing's Art Nouveau workshops can deal closer and closer to his 'Pavillon de L'Art Nouveau' experiences at the World Exhibition 1900th You learn many pieces of furniture of the style in question know, many vases, tableware, and more and finally has the opportunity to make knowledgeable on Bing's action and position in his time. Bing intended more than just products from a wide variety of contemporary production present. He intended also say in their nature and to encourage artists to become active. He wanted these products ultimately contribute actively in interested parties get in to to help in this way the new style to a successful breakthrough (see: p.253). A very energetic and dedicated man who has my full respect and the worth to inform themselves in greater detail.

Level C Vocab Unit 8 Answrs

review: Hokusai-Mathhi Forrer

This splendid volume is the life and work of Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai woodcut of color (1760-1849) dedicated. The large-format illustrations of his works to a world that is perceived as a means Europeans like a dream world.

After a preface that the question "Why another Hokusai monograph?" answered satisfactorily, we learn that in the book the services of the artist is always considered in the wider context of the world of Japanese woodblock prints and in the context of the cultural development of his home are provided. Next will be informed that Hokusai was an artist who invented again and again, so therefore was very creative.

is partitioned the image and text-rich book in the generic terms:

Youth and Shunro period
-Hokusai Sori privately printed
-Gakyonjin and Katasushika Hokusai
-The legacy of Hokusai Raito
-IItsu: Hokusai is "Another year old "-The
Manji Period Hokusai's last years


Hokusai took over 18 years in the studio of Katsukawa Shunsho. There he worked 15 years as a painter and woodcut artist under the name Shonro. In the first chapter of Hokusai's youth and the Shunro period is examined in more detail. The essays touch on include the world of color woodblock Hokusai's early work under the sign Shunros, the woodcuts of Konkubinenschauspielerinnen, his illustrations for popular novels, the first recognition on the basis of the perspective images for Nishimuraya Yohachi and its recognition in the genres of drama pictures.

Hokusai had poetic, narrative, and humorous talent. As we learn, He wrote popular novels for years, which appeared in a characteristic yellow cover "The little yellow books" (see page 22). These books are already showing his penchant for sarcasm and good observation. Hokusai left in 1792 after the death of your master, and a fight with a classmate's studio Shunsho. He was then under the name Hokusai Sori a favorite of well-known amateur poet and designed in the time between 1776-1805, a large number of precious greeting and invitation cards, in which he worked with gold and silver dust. These cards are "surimonos referred. In the chapter "Hokusai Sori privately printed" the world of private presses in the time discussed in more detail and we learn to include more poetry of the famous places of Edo.

The imagery here to discuss in detail is impossible at this wealth of images that the book contains. This gives you idea, I have included some pictures in the review.

called Hokusai Katsushika Hokusai and Gakyojin among others. Among his many works were poems and illustrations illustrations for popular novels, such as for adventure novels. His characters are presented with a then unknown in Japan until not real density, which sprang from the intensity with which he human attitudes in just such a nature and Manner as natural phenomena studied. From 1814 his work "manga" encyclopedia, pictures were published. These consisted of 15 volumes. In the chapter "The Legacy of Hokusai Taito" you can read more books to his character, the picture albums and the erotic images. His drawings have so much focus that it takes almost caricatured features.

Hokusai chose most extreme and unusual postures and movements culmination potentiated, however there were scenes of everyday life, which he described. These were, however, been of the conventional art ever presented as genuine. In his manga work, "he masterfully handled as a draftsman the abbreviated technique of point-and-dash system, (see page 130ff).

In the chapter "IItsu:" Hokusai is "A year old" time for new beginning "of his creative impetus in old age, reports in the he made great landscape consequences that are now world famous, it created whole. 137 prints over a period of 5 years. This shows the Fuji, waterfalls, bridges, flowers and spirits. His "36 Views of Mount Fuji" are probably in the western world with the most famous. In his painting and drawing has been his didactic work secondary, though it included several notable books mark.


Hokusai's last years will be called Manja period. In these years he devoted himself primarily to painting because he wanted to respond not only as a woodcut artist, but also as a true artist in history.

This book is a real treasure.

What Happens On A Gay Cruise

Review: Picasso, the first museum exhibition in 1932

the Kunsthaus Zurich will continue until 30 January 2011, the exhibition "Picasso The first museum exhibition 1932 "instead. The illustrated book is the catalog to this exhibition.

The English painter, graphic artist, sculptor, ceramicist and sculptor, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is the innovator and at the same time most outstanding representative of the painting 20th century. The first Museumsrespektive the artist was in 1932 in Zurich. The book tells of the genesis of the exhibition and illustrates its influence on the history of the artist, and their exemplary role regarding the relationship between artists, art dealers, museums and other similar institutions in the 20th century. It also contains the complete reconstruction of the epochal exhibition. This will give the reader already in the blurb.

After a word from the sponsor, these are for the Credit Suisse and an illuminating foreword by Christoph Becker of essays follow:

Tobia Bezzola: "The retrospective retrospective exhibition."
This essay corresponds with the views of the Picasso exhibition at the Kunsthaus Zurich in 1932, which follow thereafter. It concerns with the views to take photos of installation views at that exhibition.

Christian Geelhaar: Picasso. "The first exhibition in Zurich.

Pablo Picasso
The yellow belt: Marie-Thérèse, 1932
Courtesy Nahmad Collection
© 2010 ProLitteris, Zurich
In this essay we learn among other things, that individual Paintings such as "The man and woman" were incorporated from the collection of Bernhard Mayer, Zurich and four sculptures until ten days after the opening in the painter by the Ticino Sigismund Righini (1870-1937) decorated and designed exhibition. The four rooms on the ground floor, in which about 100 drawings and were also issued many etchings and lithographs, the public were made available only much later, (see: p. 36).

Very interesting I find the descriptions Geelhaar with respect to a particular controversy, the exhibition because of an essay by the psychologist and psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), who appeared on the final day of the exhibition at the Neue Zürcher Zeitung arose. Young Picasso assigns to the group of schizophrenics, "the images produced, which immediately reveal their sense of realism. They communicate in any event no coherent, harmonious feeling, but feeling any contradiction or even complete numbness. Formally, there is the character of the inner conflict before, which is expressed in the so-called fault lines, a sort of psychological rejection columns that run through the image "(to quote Jung. p.38).. We learn in the episode as individual personalities in those days to the comments guys have reacted to read. This is very exciting.

Following works are presented from 1899 to 1912. The exhibits in the book and printed works from 1899-1912 including the one in blue shades of oil painting "Melancholy". In this and all other paintings shown in each case we learn when they arise, what size they have in the original and where they normally hang. From his "blue period" will show you the painting "Woman in the shirt" from 1905, even cubist paintings, such as "The Poet" in 1912.

Simonetta Fraquelli: "Picasso retrospective at Galeries Georges Petit, Paris 1932 A response to Matisse.."

The exhibition will be interpreted very well. The interpretation of results it can be seen the headline of the essay. Moreover, Picasso created from December 1931 to April 1932 30 new paintings, 22 of them specially for the exhibition, (vgl.S.82). The exhibition is said to have left a great impression. Picasso's primary goal was his to present recent works as an extension of his artistic achievements of the past. This is succeeded as Fraquelli stresses.

Following are photographic views of the Picasso exhibition at the Galeries Georges Petit, 1932 and works from the years 1912-1926, including the wonderful painting "Girl with frost of 1919, his" Woman with a Blue Scarf "from 1923 and" Making Music Harlequin "from 1924.

Michael FitzGerald: After 1932: From the retrospectives in Paris and Zurich to "Guernica".

Here we read of the change of Picasso, for only five years after the shows in Zurich and Paris, he created "Guernica" is the first work of his series of important political works. FitzGerald believes that if the paintings of 1931-32 is considered accurate, we can certainly find similarities with the paintings of the late 1930s, (vgl.S.136) and to that extent the change relates only to the influence of Dora Maar was due, as is often claimed.

learns a result we know works from the years 1927-1932. What impresses me is the oil painting "Nude on the beach", which allows many patterns of interpretation. Monster seems ironic to me "The Yellow Belt: Marie-Thérèse Walter" in 1932. His painting "Resting" from 1932 shows a decidedly lascivious woman, embodied by the color of harmony in its purest form.

The old exhibition catalog of the Kunsthaus Zurich for the Picasso exhibition of 1932 is then printed on the following pages. Then you can deal with the work directory and a commendable four-page chronology of biographical data of Picasso.

A successful exhibition catalog that shows what a great artist, Picasso was at a young age.

Kates Playground And Me

Review: Best of National Geographic: the photographs-Leah Bendavid-Val

In this picture book has the opportunity, the most famous photos of the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC - discover magazine. We learn each of who has completed the individual pictures, where and when they arise and to receive any additional photos illuminating details that explain what is seen in more detail.

After a preface, the series is already a very impressive color photos process communication, you learn the various chapters, in addition to a wealth of photos and highly interesting include text posts to know. These chapters bear the titles:

-Then and Now
round umd the globe

-in the wilderness

underwater

-The Science

-In U.S.

In the photos, the introduction by Gilbert M. Grosvenor, president and chairman of the National Geographic Society are preceded by, I was a double-sided image fascinated. Steve McCurry has included it in 1983 in Rajasthan in India. Women in wonderful, wine-red robes seek protection from the sand storms that often blow before the start of the monsoon over the plains of Rajasthan. At their ankles wear the beautiful Indian women golden tires. Densely crowded together, they hide behind a crooked tree. Only one woman is made entirely out of the storm. Nearly one has the impression that they enjoy doing the heavy touch of the storm, nearly one means it him her lover.

Even the refugee girl on the cover can be seen on the input sides again. Was also photographed by Steve McCurry and that she in 1984 in Pakistan on the border with Afghanistan. Her eyes are full of fear and suggest how to read, even in a horrible war experiences.

The first Chapter begins with a photo that Gilbert H. Grosvenor has started 1920 on Hawaii. The inclusion of riders to take the fight in the 49 square-mile Haleakala Crater is hand colored. You have the opportunity to learn about this stuff early days. A hundred years ago National Geographic Society to use the photograph, for the purpose to increase the geographical knowledge and to disseminate it. The photographic style of the magazine National Geographic reach a peak, when photography was the medium for reporting on world events (see: p. 34).

After Gilbert H. Grosvenor was 1899, the first editor of this magazine, we began to use black and white photos. We learn as a result of illuminating the editor of activity in the early decades and the fact that photography is such an important aspect for the magazine developed that Grosvenor set up its own black lab, which was followed shortly afterwards even a color lab. It was the first in American publishing. After the first world war is to color photography are finally penetrated the American Journal beings. Geographic published between 1921-1930 more than 1500 car chrome images and became a renowned institution for the reproduction of color photographs.

then we read how it went with the color and history should be always impressive Recordings enjoy, such as a photo that Franz Lanting made in 1989 in Okavango, Botswana. He succeeded by means of an automatic camera, triggered by an infrared beam to capture the steps of a leopard, which he had never even seen.

James L. Stanfield real Siert a photo feature in the Vatican. He intended also to human and personal side of this ancient institution to capture and therefore shows also how the Pope is preparing to bless the crowd in St. Peter's Square. This scene is so different than that which deals with the ordination Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, in the future be ordained priests. Very nice is the photo of Pope John Paul II, which he very thoughtfully through the gardens of his summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, near Rome, as the wandering. As we learn, the photographer has the feeling that the pontiff may show in a new light, not as a public figure, but rather as a private, serene and betfreudigen man (vgl.S. 70). This is to give Stanfield mE succeeded.

The following are pictures that have developed around the globe. The photographs tell of changes in the world and are accompanied quoted very good. Artistically, the photo of Sam Abell, that this started in 1983 in Moscow. This seems simple beauty of the tensions of the Cold War to reduce, if the view through the lace curtains of the hotel window over sunlit pears across the Kremlin and other buildings on Red Square moves, (see: S.74/75).

Also impressive is a recording of Malcolm S. Kirk, which is caused to the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea. Here, a child asleep in a hanging net. So peaceful, the world can be far away from civilization (see: p. 95). It is a shame that people can bring in a review, not all images to language, because each would have deserved a few words. Am touched by the photo, has taken up the Tomasz Tomaszweski 1992 Marie Fried in Sweden. In this way each year on 13 December, the arrival of Santa Lucia celebrated.

David Alan Harvey outlined Spain with his photos. The picture that shows an apprentice bullfighter is, content has almost past, like the men in medieval sackcloth participating in the Good Friday procession of a religious brotherhood.

You learn more images to the wilderness, know the animal kingdom. These photos are about more than just beauty. The images are intended to provide informative material for the report and at the same time the personal style of the photographers. All photos in the book meet this requirement. Almost a little threatening act white wolves by Jim Brandenburg, and just fantastic all the recordings under water. Here it has done me the swarm violet Farnbarsche that glides on a yellow Demoiselle and a cup coral.

With great interest I read the brief report on the Titanic recordings. Emory Kristof photographed the ship on 14 April 1912 fell after colliding with an iceberg, was loose with a camera. The cabins of the first grade should have been expected after 80 years under water or completely undamaged.

The penultimate chapter in the book are photos that have been grouped under the heading of science. Here I have the pictures of two works of art fascinates most. On the one hand, a recording of David Brill, the This was in 1975 in Turkey. It shows the marble face of Aphrodite, which they have put into the water, herauszulaugen the contaminants of nearly two millennia, on the other hand, a photo of Vic Boswll, Jr., realized in Milan, Italy, 1983, that Leonardo da Vinci's famous Last Supper, after a thorough restoration shows. The bright spots are ready. The device on the left shows the humidity in the room.

The Impressions, entitled the "portrait of a people" to show people in the U.S.. Here I was attracted to the photo of Bill Hess, that it started in 1976 in Arizona in the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. According to ancient tradition, an Apache girl's entry into the commit Adults with a four-day sunrise-dance. This ancient tradition to follow, is certainly a good way because he cheered the dancers, but at the same time pays homage to the nature of their due respect.

A recommended book.

Review: GEO epoch EDITION 2 / 2010 Impressionism

this wonderful magazine, lavishly illustrated Geo deals extensively with the Impressionists. The style was in the 60s of the 19th Centuries in France developed. In his Kulminationationszeit (From 1870 until the early eighties) and then following the direction of pointillism, he postulated a new, primarily used for optical correlation painting.

The magazine is divided into:


1) The first Impressionist: A new view of the world

2) Beginnings: The Emergence of the Modern

3) Industrial Revolution: The chroniclers of change

4) Claude Monet: A world of colors

5) other countries: East of France

6) Paris: city of the painter

7) Post-Impressionism: The revolution of the revolution

8) Vincent van Gogh: The Broken

In the first post are short biographies of the painter Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894), Alfred Sisley (1839-1899), Edgar Degas (1834-1917), Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) , Edourd Manet (1832-1883), Paul Cézanne (1839-1906), Camille Pissarro (1830-1903), Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) and Claude Monet (1840-1926) presented. Of these painters learn very well scanned Impressionist works to know that is outlined in each case are briefly quoted.


You get to know as a result, a series of images of the opponents of the Impressionists. This is to include works such as those of Ernest Meissonier and André Rixens. These painters from the School of Fine Arts were characterized. According to the rules of this Academy created this artist carefully executed paintings of historical and mythical themes. Them was to give every detail in the clothing and facial expressions of the portraits again (see: p. 30-31). Quite different are the works of modern artists, the show only aware of the moment, the mundane and the surface. The modernity is, as the poet Baudelaire notes "the transitory, the vanishing, the accidental." Figuratively implemented it very well by Claude Monet painting "Impression, Sunrise" (see: p.29) is.


addition, models the Impressionist painters discussed. These are artists of Romanticism, which in the beginning of the 19th Century even the standards of academic painting refused. These painters are Jean-Francois Millet, John Constable, William Turner and Théodore Rousseau.

The Impressionists are no open-artist-even if from time to time to flirt. Monet spent much time in the studio. There he completed the works he had begun in the open (see: p. 38).

addition to the views of nature with which many Impressionists make a name, the modern artists of motives, the industrial revolution and those interested in social change. The images reported by a pioneering spirit, amusement, restlessness, sorrow and loneliness, (see: p. 43).
Gustave Caillebotte focuses on the negative aspects of society in a penetrating way his pictures show. Shown are also leisure activities of poor strata of society. Almost everyone knows this regard paintings by Auguste Renoir.


You learn about Monet's pictures, which show hardly any items, but only colors, lights and shapes, and reads in a very well-written article by Mark Wolff Find out more about Monet's work and life.
About the impressionists in Russia, the USA, Scandinavia, Germany and England will also be set in advance and learn about a number of works that are always commented briefly. I am impressed by the intense light, which flooded some of the images, such as Peder Severin Kroyer "Summer Evening on the Skagen south beach" or Liebermann's "Terrace of the restaurant Jacob".
is very well depicted the artistic work of the Impressionists in Paris, the capital of the movement. Where Degas painted such as prostitutes, princesses and dancers, but also bar women. Degas is obsessed have been on these girls. Since his first exhibitions he was known as the "painter of dancers," (see: p. 86).


The young artists were found in the "Nouvelle Athènes", a cafe on the Place Pigalle, not only to eat and drink, but to meet well-known painter, to learn from them and to find mentors, (see .: p. 86). It is very exciting to learn what has happened at that time in artistic circles in detail.

learns a result we know a wealth of images of the post-impressionists. In the new style color and shape are usually only translate thoughts and feelings. On display are works by Georges Seurat, Paul Gauguin, Pierre Bonnard, Paul Signac, mauice Denis, Henri Matisse, Vuillard, André Derain Edourad.


books about Vincent van Gogh's works I've reviewed a few and keep the article of Cay Rademacher about this great artist to be extremely successful. I would like to mention commended the selection of van Gogh's paintings to accompany his contribution. It pleases me that Rademacher paintings such as "Blossoming almond tree branches," Saint-Rémy, 1890, or "trees and undergrowth," Paris 1887, and finally "mourner Old man," Saint-Remy in 1890, highlighting among others, as these pictures of rare come into focus than others, but in my opinion very much about the artist.

In the final pages, you can get a good An overview of data and facts on "The Impressionists and their time" gain.

If you want to learn about impressionism, will find in this magazine, more than in many a bound book. The price-performance ratio is unique. The lyrics are based on high level and the reproduction of works of art is the equivalent of pictures very expensive art books.


Highly recommended.
