How Much Penicilin To Give A Dog

"The Impressionists in Paris - exhibition Flokwangmuseum



few days ago at the Folkwang Museum opened a new blog Buster: images of a metropolis "The Impressionists in Paris." Here are some cases in Germany, little-known pictures of this era - showed (1860 1900). The main attraction is of course about 80 paintings of the Impressionists, urban scenes here more than the familiar images from nature that are usually shown in Impressionist exhibitions.
What makes me most interested, ist die begleitende Fotoausstellung über den Umbau und die Modernisierung von Paris unter dem Kaiser Napoleon III, umgesetzt durch den Präfekten Baron Hausmann. Es bleibt einem die Spucke weg, wenn man die Rigorosität auf den vielen originalen Fotos erkennt, mit denen die Modernisierung der Metropole Paris betrieben wird. Stuttgart 21 ist dagegen nur ein sehr begrenzte Baustelle. Weiter fällt die hohe Qualität der ausgestellten, dokumentarischen Abbildungen auf (ca. 120 Fotos). Dies bezieht sich sowohl auf die technische als auch auf die künstlerische Qualität der frühen Fotografien. Der begleitende Katalog (39,- €) informiert ausgezeichnet über die geschichtlichen Hintergründe dieser Ausstellung.
Die Ausstellung is worth seeing and not as crowded as the previous exhibition "The most beautiful museum ..."; until 30-1-11.

Gallbladder Versus Stomach Virus

unusual canal festival before Ter Hell Plastic


On Friday evening took place in front of the canal Ter Hell Plastic unusual cultural happening. There were a series of concrete pumps situated adjacent firm voice and two excavators the company Bötzel in rank and file. The event had the significant name of "vibrations". The Herner sound and sound artist Christof this racket had a "composition" for fog horns, whistles and sound machines age.

in the oncoming twilight moved over 20 m high, erect, lighted trunk in the pump light rhythm. Later in the show the increasing in the dark through a sponsored by the company Bötzel fireworks were enhanced. The two excavators were from on high gloss metal waste, such as a waterfall trickling down. An overwhelming impression. The spectacle was followed on the other side of the canal of several thousand visitors. Not all were able to recognize in this art, as it was announced by Ruhr.2010. So it is with the art when it falls out of line, yet a unique event for Herne.

Roy Lichtenstein - Art as a motif

On Thursday I went to the museum group, Bochum, led by Eva-Maria Schöning, together in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne. This will take place from 2-7 to 3-10 for a large Roy Lichtenstein exhibition. So far I have Roy Lichtenstein's images never seen in context, but only as part of class presentations. In Cologne, a cross-section is shown by the work of the painter with over 100 works. So far I had
Lichtenstein as an interpreter of comic books in more memory. Here I met the artist as diverse and know very intelligent all-rounder. Not only large-scale pop art paintings together with small drawings and sketches are shown.
particularly striking in how many ways interpreted icons of art history and be transferred into his own visual language. No known painters of the 20th Century will not be quoted and displayed in its own way. Also sculptures are exhibited, both in wood and metal, preferably aluminum.

I was interested especially Lichtenstein's own painting technique. The pictures are usually awarded as an oil / Magna technology. Unfortunately, I found no indication of what lies behind "Magna". Meanwhile, I'm smarter. "Magna" was the first brand of come out in the 40's acrylic colors of the American company "Golden Artist Colors." Still does this paint manufacturers as one of the worlds best. However, the brand is as turpentine acrylic paint for environmental reasons, no longer on the market. Therefore, the images differ in their technique of the popular acrylic paintings. Acrylic paints are now only available as a water-soluble systems of the various paint manufacturers. What makes these paint-like colors is easy to apply, the matte running without brush strokes of color. This creates the impression of an industrial painting or printing method, especially water-soluble ink systems (and oil colors) to highlight the brush stroke as a special feature.
