    Gaudí und die Sagrada Família

    July 8, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Der untenstehende Text ist ein Auszug aus dem Antoni Gaudí von Jeremy Roe herausgegeben von Parkstone International. Die wahre Bedeutung von Gaudís Architektur erschließt sich uns nur, wenn wir die verschiedenen Faktoren berücksichtigen, die sein Denken beeinflussten. Sein Familienhintergrund, seine Kindheit, sein Geburtsort und die Schulen, die er besuchte, der historische Kontext im Katalonien und Spanien seiner Zeit, seine Freunde und Bekannten – all dies bildet den Rahmen für die außergewöhnliche und eigenwillige Architektur von Antoni Gaudí i Cornet. Seine Persönlichkeit jedoch ist nur schwer fassbar. Dies hat mehrere Gründe. Zum einen war er von seinem Wesen her schüchtern und zurückhaltend und hinterließ nur ganz wenige Dokumente, die uns einen Einblick in seinen…

    Gaudí and the Sagrada Família

    June 23, 2020 / 0 Comments

    The text below is the excerpt from the book Antoni Gaudí, written by Jeremy Roe, published by Parkstone International. In order to understand the real significance of Gaudí’s architecture it is necessary to take into account various factors which influenced his thinking. His family background, childhood, place of birth and schooling, the historical context of Catalonia and Spain during his lifetime, his friends and relations, all form the framework for the very special and very distinct architecture of Antoni Gaudí Cornet. However, his personality is hard to capture for various reasons. In the first place, Gaudí’s shy and retiring nature meant that there are virtually no original documents in existence that show…

    Bitten by a dragonfly!

    January 8, 2015 / 2 Comments

    Émile Gallé was a leading artist of the Art noveau style and was able to put his love for insects, animals and flowers into vases, porcelain and furniture, to capture their beauty into usable objects, creating pieces of art at the same time. Starting from his childhood, Gallé developed an almost ecstatic love for mother nature. One of his favourite designs seemed to be the dragonfly, an insect so tiny and delicate, but it can also be a danger to your life…. Gallé, born 1846 in Nancy, started studying zoology, botanics and minerology, because he drew inspiration from observing nature while walking through the woods. Who could have anticipated, that…

    Jean Paul Gaultier: Von wegen Mode und Parfüm sei nur was für Frauen!

    August 13, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Er erklärte das weiß-blaue Ringelshirt zu High-Fashion und trotzt mit seiner Mode allen geschlechterspezifischen Rollenbildern – Jean Paul Gaultier, der vor drei Monaten seinen 40sten Geburtstag feierte, ist heute einer der berühmtesten Modeschöpfer der Welt. Und es ist kaum zu glauben, dass der in einem Pariser Vorort geborene Sohn eines Buchhalters und einer Kassiererin eine derart steile Karriereleiter erklommen konnte, ohne eine spezielle Ausbildung zu absolvieren und heute sein eigenes Haute-Couture-Modeunternehmen führt. Bereits als Kind entwarf er Anziehsachen fürseinen Teddybären, der auch heute noch sein ständiger Begleiter und Glücksbringer ist. Nachdem er seine Modeskizzen an die verschiedensten Modeschöpfer geschickt hatte, wurde er mit 18 Jahren der Assistent von Pierre Cardin…

    Mode – Jean Paul Gaultier

    July 31, 2012 / 0 Comments

    La mode est-elle forcément synonyme d’extravagance ? En général pas dans la vie de tous les jours. Jean-Paul Gaultier est une exception dans le cercle des créateurs de mode, qui a le premier voulu intégrer à ses créations les caractéristiques du monde qui l’entoure. Ce qui le différencie ? La provocation.       Depuis le début de sa carrière dans les années 70, on le connaît pour ses créations hors-normes, souvent multi-ethniques (il a fait sensation avec une collection intitulée « Barbès ») et toujours transgenres. Ses silhouettes androgynes sont facilement reconnaissables, parées de matières brillantes et métalliques. Madonna en est le symbole parfait. L’exposition du musée De Young de San Francisco…

    Fashion Passion

    July 31, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Fashion is not my thing. I’ve stated before that I am a neutral, solid colour kind of girl. Occasionally I’ll throw on something bright to mix it up, usually a pair of stilettos. Leading me to the point in which I must confess to my deep, inherent, undeniable love of shoes, and, more specifically, boots. (Cue in blaming my mother, who tried to get me to care about blouses, skirts, and dresses as well, but was less successful. Apologies and gratitude, mom!) Once upon a time my friends wanted to go out for the evening; I didn’t want to open my closet, because it can get very taxing as a…
