Presentan libro con gouaches de Toledo - La Jornada Merry MacMasters El trabajo de recreación del relato del conejo y el coyote, hecho por Natalia Toledo, “me hizo pensar en mi niñez desdichada”, porque “no me tocaron las fábulas de las etnias, en este caso la zapoteca del istmo, ni tampoco las del catolicismo, que son también maravillosas a su modo”, expresó el escritor Carlos Monsiváis durante la presentación el miércoles de Cuento del conejo y el coyote, en el salón hispanoamericano de la Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP). Coeditado por la galería Arvil y el Fondo de Cultura Económica, el libro comprende los 33 gouaches que Toledo realizó para el relato publicado en 1979 en la revista Colibrí, de la SEP, que sólo utilizó 16, así como textos de Monsiváis, Luis Carlos Emerich y Elisa Ramírez. Para Gerardo Estrada, ex director del Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, la presente es una obra de “varios conejos que siempre se salen con la suya; Francisco Toledo, por supuesto, es el mayor.
Download Free Fonts Félicien Rops Félicien Rops (7 July 1833 – 23 August 1898) was a Belgian artist, known primarily as a printmaker in etching and aquatint. Early life[edit] In 1857, he married Charlotte Polet de Faveaux, with whom he had two children, Paul and Juliette (the latter died at a young age).[1] He produced a number of etchings as illustrations for books by Charles de Coster. In 1862 he went to Paris where he met the etchers Félix Bracquemond and Jules Ferdinand Jacquemart. His activity as a lithographer ceased about 1865, and he became a restless experimenter with etching techniques.[2] Felicien Rops in his Studio by Paul Mathey Relationship with Baudelaire[edit] Rops met Charles Baudelaire towards the end of the poet's life in 1864, and Baudelaire left an impression upon him that lasted until the end of his days.[4] Rops created the frontispiece for Baudelaire's Les Épaves, a selection of poems from Les Fleurs du mal that had been censored in France, and which therefore were published in Belgium.

Other Ancient Calendars When did ancient months start? In the eighth century B.C.E., civilizations all over the world either discarded or modified their old 360 day calendars. The 360 day calendars had been in use for the greater part of a millennium. In many places, month lengths immediately after that change were not fixed, but were based instead upon observation of the sky. Priest-astronomers were assigned the duty of declaring when a new month began – it was usually said to have started at the first sighting of a new moon. Month length at that time was simply the number of days that passed from one new lunar crescent to the next. During those years in Rome, for example, a Pontifex (priest) observed the sky and announced a new moon and therefore the new month to the king. This practice of starting a month at the first sighting of a new moon was observed not only by Romans but by Celts and Germans in Europe and by Babylonians and Hebrews in the Lavant. When was the ancient new year? Babylonian calendar Overview

Images of Women in Ancient Art Courses in the history of art provide the student with an understanding of art and architecture in a cultural context. The student will be introduced to the means by which art can be critically observed, intelligently analyzed and knowledgeably discussed. ARTH 115, Survey of Art History I, and ARTH 116, Survey of Art History II, provide a survey of art from prehistoric times to the present and are the prerequisites to most upper level courses. Students considering majoring in art history should plan to complete ARTH 115 and ARTH 116 by the end of their sophomore year. For any student contemplating graduate study or a career in which a knowledge of the history of art is essential (for example, work in museums or galleries, and in auction houses), a reading knowledge of at least one of the following languages is strongly recommended: French, German, Italian or Spanish (depending on area of interest).
H. R. Giger Life and career[edit] Giger was born in 1940 in Chur, capital city of Graubünden, the largest and easternmost Swiss canton. His father, a chemist, viewed art as a "breadless profession" and strongly encouraged him to enter pharmaceutics, Giger recalls. Yet he moved in 1962 to Zürich, where he studied Architecture and industrial design at the School of Applied Arts until 1970.[5] Giger had a relationship with Swiss actress Li Tobler until she committed suicide in 1975. He married Mia Bonzanigo in 1979; they separated a year and a half later. In 1998 Giger acquired the Château St. Style[edit] Birth Machine sculpture in Gruyères Giger got his start with small ink drawings before progressing to oil paintings. In 2007, Giger and his work were subjects of a 19-minute documentary, H.R. Influences[edit] Other works[edit] Entrance to Giger Bar in Chur. Ibanez H.

Temple Of Karnak, engraved wall Part of the Holy Land, Egypt offers a fascinating mixture of ancient pyramids, temples and other religious monuments. There are numerous possibilities to explore Egypt from desert treks to trips down the Nile or scuba diving in the Red Sea and along the Sinai coast. Cairo, which means “The Triumphant”, is home to the pyramids, sphinx and over 17 million residents within its metropolitan area. Luxor is often described as the world’s largest open air museum, built on the ancient city of Thebes. PHI: The Divine Ratio PHI & Five PHIve-sided Symmetry The easiest way to figure PHI is with a simple pentagon, the geometric figure with five equal sides meeting at five equal angles. This five-sided figure embodies PHI. Draw a regular pentagon ABCDE, with equal sides and equal angles. This ratio is an accurate value for PHI. You can install five such diagonal lines, and they are all of equal length. Here we encounter PHI's first curious quirk. Each diagonal is divided into two parts, and each part is in PHI ratio to the other, and to the whole diagonal. When you draw all five pentagon diagonals, they form a five-point star: a Pentangle. Inside this star is a smaller, inverted pentagon (green). Thus, PHI is the ratio of five-sided symmetry. Extreme & MeanResonant Recursion PHI is also found in another much more obscure and obtuse relationship. In simple mathematical shorthand: In a simple geometric line diagram: where: This odd, obscure ratio equals PHI. ACÑthe old long segmentÑ is now the whole.
