étapes: design & culture visuelle mood-wood Filter Guy de Maupassant Écrivain français (château de Miromesnil, Tourville-sur-Arques, 1850-Paris 1893). Écrivain fécond, disciple de Flaubert, Guy de Maupassant est l'auteur de contes, de nouvelles et de romans. Observateur privilégié de la paysannerie normande, de ses malices et de sa dureté, l’écrivain élargit son domaine à la société moderne tout entière, vue à travers la vie médiocre de la petite bourgeoisie des villes, mais aussi le vice qui triomphe dans les classes élevées. Le déclin de sa santé mentale, avant même l’âge de trente ans, le porte à s’intéresser aux thèmes de l'angoisse et de la folie. Naissance 5 août 1850 au château de Miromesnil, Tourville-sur-Arques, près de Dieppe. Famille Son père est un agent de change anobli d’origine lorraine ; sa mère, très cultivée et amie d'enfance de Flaubert – qui sera pour le jeune Guy comme un maître et deviendra son ami –, est issue de la bourgeoisie normande. Enfance, adolescence, jeunesse (1850-1871) Un petit fonctionnaire (1871-1880) Le déclin (1888-1893)

Max Kuwertz – Design/Art Direction Claude Monet : le plein air French painter (1840–1926) Monet was raised in Le Havre, Normandy, and became interested in the outdoors and drawing from an early age. Although his mother, Louise-Justine Aubrée Monet, supported his ambitions to be a painter, his father, Claude-Adolphe, disapproved and wanted him to pursue a career in business. He was very close to his mother, but she died in January 1857 when he was sixteen years old, and he was sent to live with his childless, widowed but wealthy aunt, Marie-Jeanne Lecadre. He went on to study at the Académie Suisse, and under the academic history painter Charles Gleyre, where he was a classmate of Auguste Renoir. Frequently exhibited and successful during his lifetime, Monet's fame and popularity soared in the second half of the 20th century when he became one of the world's most famous painters and a source of inspiration for a burgeoning group of artists. Biography[edit] Birth and childhood[edit] In 1845, his family moved to Le Havre in Normandy. Impressionism[edit]
GLORIFYING THE ANECDOTE | Florence Boudet – Graphic Design, Typography, Illustration, Art, Language & Books Last week-end, I visited the exhibition Le grand Mess, by Théo Mercier, at Le Lieu Unique in Nantes. A big mess indeed, but somewhat organised and sometimes classified, reorganised or even recomposed. The exhibition presents a collection of what society unanimously considers as bad taste objects, such as big breasted mugs, aquarium fake stones, mundane indoor plants, kitschy gadgets… Mercier presents some of them neatly organized on shelves confering them the status of precious and unique objects ; while others are assembled as in a surrealistic collage giving birth to a bizarre gallery of totems of the contemporary culture.

Inspiration Now | Collecting ideas since 2013 Histoire du football en Normandie - Histoire de la Normandie Inventé en Angleterre, le football serait arrivé en France par la Normandie, au Havre précisément. C’était en 1872, dit la tradition. Forts de cette précocité, les clubs normands, au premier rang desquels figurent ou ont figuré le Havre Athletic Club, le Football Club de Rouen et le Stade Malherbe Caen, ont-ils brillé au niveau national et international ? (L’article suivant est présenté sous forme d’interview fictive.) On raconte souvent que le football, sport inventé par les Anglais au milieu du XIXe siècle, est arrivé en France par le Havre. Selon la tradition, le HAC est fondé en 1872, ce qui en ferait le plus ancien club de France. « L’équipe du Havre AC en 1913 au tournoi international de Pâques à Saint-Ouen.» par Agence Rol — Bibliothèque national de France. Il est tout de même probable que la Normandie soit une terre pionnière du football français vu ses rapports et sa proximité avec l’Angleterre… Les Anglais, inventeurs du football, l’exporte dans le monde.
