Infographic: The Social Network That Launched Abstract Art. Abstraction transformed the art world with astonishing speed. The technique was "unthinkable at one moment" and "practically compulsory in the next," as New Yorker art critic Peter Schjeldahl recently put it. In part, it emerged out of a rapidly changing society as a way to respond to developments like automobiles and photography and the mechanized slaughter of World War I. But abstraction’s spread can also be attributed to close contact between artists themselves, who passed it along to one another like a bug in the years during and after the war. Here’s what all those encounters look like. The interactive map was created by the Museum of Modern Art in conjunction with their on-going exhibition, Inventing Abstraction 1910-1925.

Many of the best-connected figures are well-known names like Picasso, Kandinsky, and Hans Arp, and it doesn’t come as much of a surprise the popular figures today were popular back then too.
The Art of Reproduction. See the Art of Reproduction An internet search for a famous artwork such as Klimt's Danaë yields many images. Our collages visualize the discrepancies between these reproductions. We were surprised at just how much colors varied. Below, for example, are sixteen different patches from the thigh of Danaë in Klimt's painting. The web can seem like the perfect museum, holding all the world's art.
Type "Danae Klimt" into your favorite search engine, and you conjure up a high-resolution image of Gustav Klimt's Danaë: tan limbs, a shower of gold, red hair. Or did you find pink limbs? Curious just how far reproductions stray from each other, we began an investigation. The image above shows the mosaic for Danaë. The discontinuities of color, texture and frame tell the story of the inaccuracies in reproduction, forming a tapestry of beautiful half-truths. 15 Stunning Examples of Data Visualization.

The Luxury of Protest – Extra Special Poster. My good friend Peter of The Luxury of Protest is always knocking it out of the park with his highly detailed and intricate data visualisation prints and whilst his latest offering is based on a previously existing design, what differs this time however is the extra-special production of the piece itself — laser engraved and laser cut! As Pete explains: “I’ve been awarded a win in the National Science Foundation, International Visualization Challenge – this is competition founded by the NSF (the main science funding body in the US) and the prestigious journal, Science. All winners are published in the current issue of Science and can been seen here.To commemorate the win I decided to print a final and super special edition of ‘Everyone Ever…’ The entire poster is laser engraved and laser cut in BFK Rives 100% cotton 300gsm white paper.

An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software. Please do not use the map or its data to fly a plane, sail a boat, or fight wildfires :-) If the map is missing or seems slow, we recommend the latest Chrome browser.

Comme vous l’a enseigné Mme Chaffouin, votre professeur de Français de quatrième, le Polar n’est pas un genre : c’est un sous-genre. La Littérature se divise en effet en trois catégories : Les « genres » de la littérature sont nombreux, et correspondent à des œuvres variées : la nouvelle, la biographie, le roman historique etc.. La littérature de genre rassemble la totalité des ouvrages que vous n’avez pas envie de lire, et que de toute façon vous ne comprendriez pas. La « littérature de genre » est réservée aux professeurs de Français, aux employés de la BNF, et à certains amis de votre belle-sœur. « Les sur-genres » de la littérature, comme les deux précédentes catégories, ne dépendent pas de la qualité des ouvrages : c’est Mme Chaffouin qui décide.
Le sur-genre rassemble donc les œuvres du programme du Bac de Français, les œuvres de programme du concours de l’ENS en Lettres Classiques (Les Lettres Modernes se contentant de la littérature de genre). La structure du Polar Première page. "Sous surveillance" de Chrystine Brouillet. Avez-vous déjà eu la sensation d’être passé à coté de quelque chose qui vous aurait manqué si vous ne l’aviez pas connu ?
Après ma lecture de «Sous surveillance», je me suis demandé comment il se faisait que je n’avais pas encore suivi les aventures de la détective Maud Graham, création de la Québécoise Chrystine Brouillet. Premièrement, il faut dire que Chrystine Brouillet est très connue ici au Québec; personnage télévisuel et radiophonique, passionnée de gastronomie et d’oenologie, même sans la lire, on pourrait penser la connaître. Grâce à la maison d’édition de La courte échelle, j’ai pu avoir ce premier contact et je peux affirmer que j’ai beaucoup apprécié ma lecture.
Parlons un peu de l’auteure ! Madame Brouillet est ce genre de personne que l’on voudrait avoir comme amie. Sympathique, aimant la vie, avec beaucoup d’humour, un rire communicatif, une passion pour la littérature et une propension aux plaisirs de la table, solides et liquides. Et voilà, la force de l’écrivaine.
