The “History of Costume” or “Zur Geschichte der Kostüme” was printed from 1861 to 1880 in Munich by the publishing firm of Braun and Schneider. It was originally published as individual plates in a German magazine titled “Münchener Bilderbogen”. Later, these plates were collected and bound into book form. The total publication consisted of 125 pages, with four pictures per pages, for a total of 500 costume designs. These plates consisted of historical dress from antiquity to the end of the 19th century.
Henri Matisse, que de chato não tinha nada, nasceu no último dia do ano (1869).
Pois é. E ontem, justo no aniversário do meu irmão, foi o centenário do chato do Portinari.
The Centre of Contemporary Art was established in 1880 to “promote the study, practice, and cultivation of the fine arts.” It remains committed to these principles today with more than 60 exhibitions each year and the encouragement of excellence in all forms of contemporary art. The gallery values its history as Canterbury’s most-established art institution and maintains an association with artists and the arts in Canterbury, as well as its status as an organization that makes an essential contribution to the arts at a national level. The Centre of Contemporary Art occupies a unique role in the region and over the past 120 years has acted as an environment in which numerous issues and philosophies about art practice have been debated.
National Museum, NewDelhi, today, has in its possession over 2,00,000 works of exquisite art, both of Indian and Foreign origin covering more than 5,000 years of our cultural heritage. Its rich holdings of various creative traditions and disciplines which represents a unity amidst diversity, an unmatched blend of the past with the present and strong perspective for the future, brings history to life.

Caro Babbo Natale,
Quest’anno sono stata abbastanza buona. Io vorrei due regali: un muratore disimpiegato e una casa pulita. Ti ringrazio e ti mando tanto tanti baci,

A character study of 22 present and past cartoon characters. Animation was the format of choice for children’s television in the 1960s, a decade in which children’s programming became almost entirely animated. Growing up in that period, I tended to take for granted the distortions and strange bodies of these entities. I decided to take a select few of these popular characters and render their skeletal systems as I imagine they might resemble if one truly had eye sockets half the size of its head, or fingerless-hands, or feet comprising 60% of its body mass. Each character resides on a translucent, hinged panel. When the panel is lifted the character’s skeletal structure is revealed giving each a certain validity and glimpse into its origins. Each panel is hand-drawn with archival ink and covered with an acrylic/acetate transparency. Twenty-two of these are currently on display at Stumptown Coffee/Belmont in Portland, Oregon the month of December 2004 (via Grow A Brain)
Talvez poucos de vocês, queridos leitores, saibam disso mas eu sou graduadÃssima em mergulho. Houve um tempo em minha vida que achei, inclusive, que seria bióloga marinha e que viveria meus dias como Cousteau. Fiz, ainda menina, vários cursos na Femar e aprendi a mergulhar junto com meu pai em um curso básico em NY, perto do Hudson. Depois fizemos as especializações todas em Key Largo, FL. Navegando pra cá e pra lá acabei achando o site do Biscayne National Park, onde meu pai e eu mergulhamos muitas e muitas vezes. Essa é uma paixão que ainda me persegue. Deu saudades.
