<span style="color: white;">According to her legend, St. Casilda, a daughter of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim" title="Muslim">Muslim</a> king of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo,_Spain" title="Toledo, Spain">Toledo</a> (called Almacrin or Almamun), showed special kindness to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian" title="Christian">Christian</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison" title="Prison">prisoners</a> by carrying <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread" title="Bread">bread</a> hidden in her clothes to feed them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;">Once, she was stopped by Muslim soldiers and asked to reveal what she
was carrying in her skirt. When she began to show them, the bread
turned into a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_bouquet" title="Flower bouquet">bouquet</a> of roses.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: white;"> She was raised a Muslim, but when she became ill as a young woman, she refused help from the local <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab" title="Arab">Arab</a> doctors and traveled to northern <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberian_Peninsula" title="Iberian Peninsula">Iberia</a> to partake of the healing waters of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrine" title="Shrine">shrine</a> of San Vicente, near <a class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Buezo&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Buezo (page does not exist)">Buezo</a>, close to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briviesca" title="Briviesca">Briviesca</a>.

Sadly, every one of the representatives is a fool. This is how we live, says Bosch--we eat, dring, flirt, cheat, play silly games, pursue unattainable objectives. Meanwhile our ship drifts aimlessly and we never reach the harbour. The fools are not the irreligious, since promiment among them are a monk and a nun, but they are all those who live ``in stupidity''. Bosch laughs, and it is sad laugh. Which one of us does not sail in the wretched discomfort of the ship of human folly? Eccentric and secret genius that he was, Bosch not only moved the heart but scandalized it into full awareness. The sinister and monstrous things that he brought forth are the hidden creatures of our inward self-love: he externalizes the ugliness within, and so his misshapen demons have an effect beyond curiosity. We feel a hateful kinship with them. <cite>The Ship of Fools</cite> is not about other people, it is about us. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/stone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/stone.jpg" width="221" /></a></div><cite> The Extraction of the Stone of Madness</cite><br />
<h2 style="color: white; text-align: center;">The unique vision of Bosch</h2><div style="color: white;"> </div><div style="color: white; text-align: center;"> The extraordinary painter Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450-1516) stands apart from the prevailing Flemish traditions in painting. His style was unique, strikingly free, and his symbolism, unforgettably vivid, remains unparalleled to this day. Marvellous and terrifying, he expresses an intense pessimism and reflects the anxieties of his time, one of social and political upheaval. </div><div style="color: white; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> "Paradise and Hell"</div><br />
<div style="color: white; text-align: center;">At the time of his death, Bosch was internationally celebrated as an eccentric painter of religious visions who dealt in particular with the torments of hell. During his lifetime Bosch's works were in the inventories of noble families of the Netherlands, Austria, and Spain, and they were imitated in a number of paintings and prints throughout the 16th century, especially in the works of <a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bruegel/">Pieter Bruegel the Elder</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/delight/delightc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/delight/delightc.jpg" width="289" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">"Garden of Earthly Delights"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/">link</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Allier's "Les Quatre Saisons" published by Galerie Lutetia of Paris in 1928, was such an example. Allier's jewel-like charming innocence of "Summer" from this series is a late 1920's classic and as such appears on page 98 of Julian Robinson's excellent book "The Golden Age of Style" (Orbis Publishing, 1976) as well as on page 162 of his earlier work "The Brilliance of Art Deco". </div><div style="color: white;"><a href="http://www.artophile.com/dynamic/Artwork/PublicDisplay_20_111_LETE.htm">link</a> </div> <br />

After three attempts to enter the Royal Academy of Art she finally succeeded in 1897 and won a prize for a mural design. Fortescue Brickdale's success as both an oil painter of history themes and an illustrator of texts such as Tennyson's 'Poems' was more of an exception than the rule for women artists at this time.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The Royal Academy, founded in 1768, refused access to women artists until 1860 when Laura Herford became the first woman artist to enter the Academy. Even when women were admitted they were treated unequally to men. It took another thirty years before women were allowed to attend life-drawing classes. Many of the women who succeed as artists were related to male artists. Christina Rossetti, for example, was the sister of <a href="http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/online/featuredartists/rossetti/" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="Dante Gabriel Rossetti online featured artist">Dante Gabriel Rossetti</a> while Henrietta Rae, Marianne Stokes, Sophie Anderson and Elizabeth Forbes were all wives of famous artists. In other cases the reason for women's success was the support and encouragement of male artists, for example Elizabeth Siddall by her lover Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Maria Spartali by <a href="http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/online/featuredartists/madoxbrown/" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Ford Madox Brown</a>. Most of the women artists also came from wealthy and well-educated families.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Women artists were often expected to produce a certain type of work, for example still lifes or watercolours, while criticism of their work reflected stereotypes of women as being sentimental rather than intellectual beings. Despite this overall trend, Eleanor's work was highly praised at the time by both critics and fellow artists. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">The Victorian artist G.

Owen Jones was born in 1809 and is a key figure in the history of British design. He was an architect and designer who taught in London during the 1850s. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">He traveled in Europe and the Near East, were he helped to bring back ideas to improve the quality of Western design. </span></div><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first 19 chapters presented key examples of ornament from a number of sources which were diverse both historically and geographically - notably examining the Middle East in the chapters on Arabian, Turkish, Moresque (Alhambra) and Persian ornament. The final chapter, titled ‘Leaves and Flowers from Nature’ <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">acknowledged that “in the best periods of art, all ornament was based upon an observation of the principles which regulate the arrangement of form in nature” and that “true art consists of idealising, and not copying, the forms of nature”</span>.</span></i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Dresser" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;">Christopher Dresser</a>, Owen Jones’s most well-known protégé, contributed one of the plates in this final chapter, and he was concurrently presenting theories on natural-form ornament in his famous botanical lectures at the Government School of Design in the mid-1850s.</span></span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jones gathered together these samples of ornament as ‘best’ examples of decoration in an attempt to encourage designers to follow his lead in examining the underlying principles contained within the broad history of ornament and polychromy. The <i>Grammar</i> was hugely influential in design schools in the latter half of the nineteenth century, and is still in print today, maintaining its relevance as a source of inspiration for contemporary designers</span></div><br />

Around 1890 Georges Goursat began to use the moniker “Sem” </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;">when signing his work.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;"><br />
</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: left;">He was invited to Paris in March 1900 by Jean Lorrain, mainly to work in the studio of Cherat. In Paris, Sem lived on the Rue de Vaugirard and he found his artistic inspiration in visiting the racetracks of Paris, where he watched the members of the Jockey Club at play. Here he put together the album The Turf, which was immediately considered a great success. He also became associated with Parisian society, where he was able to observe the privileged, whether at the Restaurant Maxim’s, at the Opera, at Longchamps, or in the Allée des Acacias .</div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: left;">Sem’s success was not only limited to Parisian high society but also to the masses. He worked regularly on many periodicals, both humorous and serious, including Le Figaro. He also made many trips to the coast of Normandy, where he painted the sailing vessels of Deauville and where he put together his albums Paris – Trouville and Tangoville-sur-Mer. He also visited the Cote d’Azur, where he worked on his albums Monte Carlo and Sem á la Mer Bleue.</div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: left;">Sem’s unique talent made his work very identifiable, particularly because of the essential sobriety of his composition, in which his characters usually emerge from a white or plain background rather than being more obvious caricatures. His work is particularly associated with the Belle Epoque and, during this period, he wrote numerous articles chronicling theatre shows, fashion, travel and artistic reviews. He also created a number of very beautiful posters illustrating subjects like the clowns Footit and Chocolat, the tourist towns of Deauville, Cannes and Monte Carlo, and also a number of businesses including Benedictine.</div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: left;">Sem died peacefully on 26 November 1934, in his armchair with a book in his hand. He drew in a personal way, with great success, and was rewarded during his lifetime with both fame and fortune.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Goursat">Biography in French</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sem-caricaturiste.info/semVie.html">link</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.artchive.com/web_gallery/G/Georges-Goursat-Sem/Georges-Goursat-Sem-reproductions-1.html">link2</a></div></span><br />

<div align="left">The <i>Shin Hanga</i> ("new prints": 新版画) movement extolled the virtues of the traditional <i>ukiyo-e</i> studio system, the so-called "<i>ukiyo-e</i> quartet" involving the artist, carver, printer, and publisher. Its philosophy was at odds with the<i>sôsaku hanga</i> ("creative print") movement, which avidly supported the direct involvement of the artists in designing, engraving, and printing their own works.</div> .<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The <i>shin hanga</i> movement flourished from around 1915 to 1942, though it resumed briefly from 1946 through the 1950s. Watanabe and other <i>shin hanga</i>publishers produced the works of both native Japanese artists and Western artists who created images in the Japanese manner. Their studios issued designs recalling the themes of traditional <i>ukiyo-e</i>filtered through a modern sensibility, with subjects such as landscapes and cityscapes, beautiful women, actor portraits, and nature prints. <a href="http://www.viewingjapaneseprints.net/texts/shinhangatexts/shinhanga_intro.html">link</a></div><br />

His given name was Takahashi Katsutaro. Starting at the age of nine, he studied drawing with his uncle, the Japanese-style painter Matsumoto Fuko. As a young man, Takahashi worked for the Imperial Household Department of Foreign Affairs copying ceremonial designs. He also illustrated magazines, textbooks, and scientific articles. In 1891, he organized the Japan Youth Painting Society with fellow artist Terazaki Kogyo.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

His early prints were signed 'Shotei', the art name he took around 1902. Around 1921, Takahashi changed his artist's name to 'Hiroaki', occasionally using the name 'Komei'. His prints have a great variety of seals and signatures, which sometimes makes identification difficult.</span></div><br />

Takahashi had designed around 500 prints for Watanabe before the earthquake, and the blocks for these were destroyed in the resulting fire. Over the following years, Takahashi continued to work for Watanabe, creating between 150 and 250 new designs. These prints included a variety of greeting cards and small landscapes remarkably similar to his earlier designs. However, Takahashi did create many striking prints in a more modern style, such as the lovely <a href="http://www.hanga.com/viewimage.cfm?ID=3420" style="color: #0000bb; text-decoration: none;">Fuji River</a>, published around 1926.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It is speculated that this relationship allowed Takahashi more freedom, as Watanabe's business was limited by conservative Western tastes. Takahashi designed several seductive <a href="http://www.hanga.com/series.cfm?ID=41" style="color: #0000bb; text-decoration: none;">bijin-ga</a> prints for Gabo, and he continued to focus on Mount Fuji in his landscape prints.

Bach (who had also instructed J. Ludwig’s father) held Krebs in high standing. From a technical standpoint, Krebs was unrivaled next to Bach in his organ proficiency. However, it was quite difficult for Krebs to obtain a patron or a post at any cathedral. This can be attributed to the fact that by this time the Baroque tradition was being left behind in favor of the new <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galant" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;">galant</a> music style.
