Fritz Klimsch trained at the Königliche Akademische Hochschule für die bildenden Künste [Royal Fine Art Academy] in Berlin in the drawing class taught by the painter Ernst Hancke and in the modelling class under Albert Wolff. From 1887-1890 he was a pupil of Fritz Schaper's. While still a student, the young sculptor produced his first important work, winning awards and his first experience of official recognition.
On his wedding trip to Paris, Klimsch became acquainted with Rodin's work, which greatly impressed him with its liveliness of form and expression and left a lasting influence on him. Klimsch regarded Adolf von Hildebrand as second only to Rodin as the inspiration behind his art. Hildebrandt supplemented Rodin's liveliness with tectonics and statics, thus creating the balance Klimsch felt was so important to his own sculpture.
In 1898 Klimsch founded the Berlin Secession jointly with Max Liebermann and Walter Leistikow and was represented on a regular basis at the exhibitions the group mounted. Travels to Italy and Greece shaped his style. Klimsch was subsequently extraordinarily successful with portraits, monuments and funerary sculpture as well as female nudes. He did a great many portraits of distinguished representatives of cultural and political life, including Ludwig Thoma, Lovis Corinth, Max Liebermann, Max Slevogt and Paul von Hindenburg. In 1912 he became a member of the Prussian Academy of the Arts and in 1916 a senator of the Academy. Appointed to the Akademische Hochschule für bildende Künste in 1921, he retired in 1935 after heading the master class studio there. After the war the artist settled in the Black Forest to live in seclusion, producing from then on only a few works in small formats. In 1950 Fritz Klimsch was awarded the Große Bundesverdienstkreuz and died that same year.

Japanese rock gardens (枯山水) developed closely with Zen Buddhism in the Muromachi Period (室町時代 14th - 16th century) departing from the Chinese influence. Rock gardens were the places for meditation.
Originally, gardens were designed to symbolise Ho(u)raisan (蓬莱山), which is a mythical island mountain in the sea inhabited by immortals. It is like a Taoism version of paradise. The mountain was made by a stonework while the sea by a pond. It was a Japanese invention to substitute the expanse of white sand for the water. This kind of metaphoric technic is called Mitate (見立て), which is a key word not only for gardening but also for Japanese arts in general.
In the Azuchi Momoyama Period (安土桃山時代 16th century), gardens came to be built in castles, and in the Edo Period (江戸時代 17th to 19th century) in private residences as well. As the travel became easier, Mitate of famous landscapes such Mt. Fuji, Miyajima, Yoshinoyama, Wakanoura etc. became popular. Themes of gardens shifted from religious symbolism to secular symbolism.
The rock garden in Gyokudo Art Museum symbolises the flow of the Tamagawa according to the museum website. The rocks in the garden are apparently brought from the real Tamagawa just outside.
Love Calls Us To The Things Of This World
The eyes open to a cry of pulleys,
And spirited from sleep, the astounded
soul
Hangs for a moment bodiless and
simple
As false dawn.
Outside the open window
The morning air is all awash with
angels.
Some are in bed-sheets, some are
in blouses,
Some are in smocks: but truly there
they are.
Now they are rising together in calm
swells
Of halcyon feeling, filling whatever they
wear
With the deep joy of their impersonal
breathing;
Now they are flying in place,
conveying
The terrible speed of their
omnipresence, moving
And staying like white water; and now
of a sudden
They swoon down in so rapt a quiet
That nobody seems to be there.
The soul shrinks
From all that it is about to remember,
From the punctual rape of every
blessed day,
And cries,
"Oh, let there be nothing on
earth but laundry,
Nothing but rosy hands in the rising
steam
And clear dances done in the sight of
heaven."
Yet, as the sun acknowledges
With a warm look the world's hunks
and colors,
The soul descends once more in bitter
love
To accept the waking body, saying now
In a changed voice as the man yawns
and rises,
"Bring them down from their ruddy
gallows;
Let there be clean linen for the backs
of thieves;
Let lovers go fresh and sweet to be
undone,
And the heaviest nuns walk in a pure
floating
Of dark habits,
keeping their difficult
balance."

The Pont des Arts is situated between the Institut de France and the Louvre. Built between 1801 and 1804, it was the first iron bridge in Paris. Reserved for pedestrians, the footbridge makes for a pleasant stroll with family and friends. It is a good location for holiday photos, as it offers fine views of the Seine and its monuments. The bridge is especially popular with couples.*

Charcoal is not my favourite medium - like pastels, it's messy and tends to blur the image. This dragon turned out fairly clear, though, so I'm sharing it.
Vienna is one of the most fascinating capitals in the world in terms of visual arts and architecture. The Habsburgs encouraged and supported the arts with great munificence.

City of Arts and Sciences
The City of Arts and Sciences is a cultural and architectural complex in the city of Valencia, Spain. It is the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia and one of the 12 Treasures of Spain.
Designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, the project began the first stages of construction in July 1996, and was inaugurated on 16 April 1998 with the opening of L'Hemisfèric.
Der Pont des Arts (deutsch Brücke der Künste) ist eine Fußgängerbrücke über die Seine in Paris, die den Quai François-Mitterrand (ehemals: Quai du Louvre) im 1. Arrondissement am rechten Ufer mit dem Quai de Conti im 6. Arrondissement am linken Ufer verbindet. Er verläuft damit genau auf einer Achse zwischen dem Mittelpunkt des Cour Carrée des Louvre, dem von ihm zum Seineufer führenden Torbogen und dem Institut de France auf der anderen Seite. Er ist die erste Brücke unterhalb der Île de la Cité und des Pont Neuf. Auf den Pont des Arts folgt flussabwärts der Pont du Carrousel. (Wikipedia)
