Logic takes care of itself; all we have to do is to look and see how Logic takes care of itself; all we have to do is to look and see how it does it Drawings by Jorinde Voigt Title: Ludwig Wittgenstein 1 — The world is everything that is the case. 2 — What is the case, the fact, is the existence of atomic facts 2.01 — An atomic fact is a combination of objects (entities, things) 2.013 — Every thing is, as it were, in a space of possible atomic facts.

ART NOUVEAU 101(Or: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Art Nouveau But Didn't Know To Ask Because No One Ever Told You How Awesome It Was) Part One: Art Nou-What The Fuck? Chances are, you are asking yourself right now "what the fuck is Art Nouveau?" By Alphonse Mucha That, at least superficially, is your answer.
