    July 23, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Entre courbes et contre-courbes, Mucha créa, à la fin du XIXe siècle, une égérie nouvelle qui devait hanter les rues de Paris. Au fil des représentations de Sarah Bernhard, cette muse voluptueuse devint un véritable emblème de l'Art nouveau et offrit à l'affichiste succès et renommée.

    Alphonse Mucha in the gorgeous Art Nouveau

    July 20, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Art Nouveau was known to insiders as the “Mucha style” for the legions of imitators who adapted the master’s celebrated tableaux. Today, his distinctive depictions of lithe young women in classical dress have become a pop cultural touchstone, inspiring album covers, comic books, and everything in between.

    Blake connaissait déjà le Coronavirus en 1795

    April 10, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Le texte ci-dessous est l’extrait du livre William Blake: écrit par Osbert Burdett, publié par Parkstone International. La magie singulière de Blake consistait à attiser les sentiments tout en s’adressant, apparemment, à la raison. La clé réside dans l’assimilation qu’il faisait entre « intelligence » et « imagination ». Sa propre prose fournit le meilleur vernis pour sa poésie et ses idées axiomatiques sont simples. « L’énergie est l’éternel délice » ; « Le Bien est le passif qui se soumet à la Raison. Le Mal est l’actif qui prend source dans l’Énergie. Bien est Ciel. Mal est Enfer. » Ce faisant, Blake fait allusion à Milton et proteste, comme tous…

    Wir bitten um einen Kommentar über: William Blake kannte bereits in 1795 den Coronavirus

    April 7, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Der untenstehende Text ist ein Auszug aus dem William Blake von Osbert Burdett, herausgegeben von Parkstone International. Blakes wundersamer Zauber ging davon aus, Gefühle aufzuwühlen, wo scheinbar der Verstand angesprochen wurde. Der Schlüssel liegt hier in seiner Gleichsetzung von „Verstand“ und „Imagination“. Seine eigenen Prosaschriften sind das beste Referenzmaterial zu seiner Lyrik und seine axiomatischen Vorstellungen sind überaus schlicht: „Energie ist ewige Freude;“ „Gut ist das Passive, das der Vernunft gehorcht. Böse ist das Aktive, das der Energie entspringt. Gut ist Himmel. Böse ist Hölle.“ Somit behauptete Blake – in Anlehnung an Milton, und sich wie alle Mystiker, einschließlich Bunyan25, dagegen erhebend, Religion mit Moral zu verwechseln –, dass die Begriffe „gut“…

    William Blake already knew about the Coronavirus in 1795

    March 27, 2020 / 0 Comments

    The text below is the excerpt from the book William Blake, written by Osbert Burdett, published by Parkstone International. Blake’s peculiar magic was to stir the feelings when appearing to address the mind. His identification of “intelligence” with “imagination” is the key. His own prose provides the best glosses on his poetry, and his axiomatic ideas are simple. “Energy is eternal delight;” “Good is the passive that obeys reason. Evil is the active springing from energy. Good is heaven. Evil is hell.” Thus, taking a hint from Milton, and protesting as all mystics, including Bunyan, have protested that religion is not to be confused with morality, Blake asserted that the words good…

    The Pleasures of Shunga

    December 9, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Tea ceremonies, bullet trains arriving to the exact second, intricately dressed, immaculate geisha and the importance of keeping face: these common images of Japan conjure up the notion of a highly-controlled and conservative society. Graphic images of enormous penises and a woman being pleasured by an octopus are not, perhaps, what you might expect. And indeed for the last century and a half the explicit art of shunga, or ‘spring pictures’ has been taboo in Japan- yet this only came about once the country began to absorb Western cultural influences. Before the late-19th century, the Japanese did not share the dominant Western idea that fine art and pornography were very…
