Audrey Hepburn (1929 - 1993) had an impeccable sense of fashion and style, and she was flawless as an actress and a human being.
For those friends who don't know her
please find the tribute film by sundroid at youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds5fyBLKVp0
Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorite movie star , there is one of painting box with Audrey Hepburn image at Taipei movie theater street, so everytime when I went to see the movie, I can always see her image over there. Therefore I try to create new image of Audrey Hepburn through the overlayering skill and take this bunch of artwork as a tribute to Miss Audrey Hepburn.
So I decided to do a 52 project this year as opposed to the daily shot because I got really burned out by the end of the year. I am doing the 52frames.com route as they provide the subject or theme and I just make the picture. This one is a self portrait obviously, but they had extra credit for Rembrandt Lighting and I think I achieved that. I also tried to recreate Rembrandt's self portrait as seen here at the top of the page: news.artnet.com/art-world/selfie-rembrandt-weirdest-1615627 but I don't think I could get his expression right and I don't have a cap. I guess Mr. Rembrandt was a prolific self portraitist in his time, with more than many other if not all artists from the past. I don't like the term selfie though, so don't call it a selfie; I prefer self portrait. I also had the obsessed artist (don't call it crazy) hair going here, I hope you like it!
Johann Wilhelm Preyer (1803-1889) - Still life with almonds, oysters, grapes and a champagne flute (1858)

La Cerdaña (Cerdanya en catalán y Cerdagne en francés) es un territorio histórico de Cataluña que, como consecuencia del Tratado de los Pirineos de 1659, quedó dividido en dos: la comarca de la Alta Cerdaña, que forma parte de los Pirineos Orientales, es decir, los territorios administrados por Francia, y la Baja Cerdaña, que forma parte de España, dentro de la Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña. Ésta a su vez, quedó dividida entre las provincias de Gerona y Lérida. Comprende desde el collado de la Perxa hasta el congosto de Martinet. La comarca limita con Andorra, el Ariège, el Capcir, el Conflent, el Ripollés, el Berguedá y el Alto Urgel. El enclave de Llívia forma parte de la Baja Cerdaña por estar bajo soberanía española, pero sus territorios están situados en medio del territorio francés, cosa que hace que geográficamente forme parte de la Alta Cerdaña. Las montañas que delimitan el valle oscilan entre los dos mil y los casi tres mil metros de altura (Carlit, 2.921 m.; Puigmal, 2909 m.).
El valle que conforma la Cerdaña es un hundimiento tectónico situado al este del macizo de los Pirineos. Con una superficie de 1.086,07 km², esta región natural se divide, en un 50,3% para España, y un 49,7% para Francia. Está regado por el río Segre y sus afluentes. Es el único valle pirenaico que transcurre de este a oeste en vez de la dirección norte-sur o sur-norte habitual. Esto hace que la insolación en la Alta Cerdaña sea de las más importantes de Europa y ha sido aprovechado en el horno solar de Font-Romeu.
La Cerdaña (Cerdagne Cerdanya in Catalan and French) is a province of Catalonia, following the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659, was divided into two: the region of Upper Cerdanya, which is part of the eastern Pyrenees, is ie the territories administered by France and the Low Cerdaña, part of Spain, within the Autonomous Community of Catalonia. This in turn, was divided between the provinces of Gerona and Lerida. It extends from the hill to the narrow mountain pass Perxa Martinet. The region borders with Andorra, Ariège, the Capcir Conflent, Ripoll, Berguedá and Alt Urgell. Llívia The enclave is part of the Baja Cerdaña being under Spanish sovereignty, but their territories are located in the middle of France, which makes it geographically part of the Alta Cerdanya. The mountains that surround the valley range from two thousand to nearly three thousand feet (Carlit, 2921 m.; Puigmal, 2909 m.).
The Cerdanya valley that forms the tectonic subsidence is located east of the massif of the Pyrenees. With an area of 1086.07 km ², this natural region is divided into 50.3% for Spain and 49.7% for France. It is watered by the river Segre and its tributaries. Pyrenees is the only valley that runs east to west instead of north-south or south-north normal. This makes the sunshine in Cerdagne is the most important in Europe and has been used in the solar oven Font-Romeu.
Claude Cahun (French, 1894–1954)
Based on: www.artnet.com/artists/claude-cahun/self-portrait-a-NTwio...
Claude Cahun was a Surrealist photographer whose work explored gender identity and the subconscious mind. The artist’s self-portrait from 1928 epitomizes her attitude and style, as she stares defiantly at the camera in an outfit that looks neither conventionally masculine nor feminine. “Under this mask, another mask,” the artist famously said. “I will never be finished removing all these faces.” Her work left a huge impression on photography and directly influenced contemporary photographers Cindy Sherman, Gillian Wearing, and Nan Goldin
Street artist Eduardo Kobra painted a mural in Williamsburg using the Michael Halsband image of of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol in Everlast boxing gloves. While each stare down their viewers with crossed boxing gloves in Kobra's kaleidoscope style the message is clear "Fight for Street Art!
For more information and photos of this art go here. If you want to see this art in person go to to Bedford Avenue at North 9th Street, Brooklyn. If you can't make it there, check out Kobra's Facebook page or Instagram for more photos.
Ai Weiwei, China's most famous dissident, came to Paris with an impressive new installation. But, rather than showing at one of the city's many museums, the show is being staged at the upscale department store on the left bank Le Bon Marché.

"As a flower in the garden
Bending toward the sun,
Unfolds it's tiny petals
One, by one, by one...
So faith expands it's beauty
Until at last it grows
Into life's lasting flower...
The heart's fair perfect rose."

He wouldn't fly away, he flapped his wings, and was tossed and turned by the wind, but I was able to go closer than this ... the full macro of my macro lens on subsequent images, and the wings are a gorgeous texture, and the body is so feathery

“Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees.” - Paul Strand
The hero is the one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. The saint is the man who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light. ~Felix Adler

There are other, similar pictures by Hüppi with the same model and dog. They have titles with the name Danae in it.
Well, Danae was a human women, who was impregnated by Jupiter appearing as a golden rain. When you google Hüppi pictures, there is showing up a beautiful lady, who is called Danae.
I tend not to assosciate the picture to the myth but to that muse or friend or what their relation might be.
The painted woman looks surprised as if just awakened from a dream. She might have dreamt about this big dog of which she is not frightened at all. Male animals in dreams are often sexual beings coding for a man, she did not dare to dream of perhaps.
Some other works of Hüppi are here:

Here is a cool story ..... When the town of Seaside, California ordered homeowner Etienne Constable to build a fence to conceal the boat in his driveway, he erected the fence all right. And then he hired his neighbor, artist Hanif Panni, to paint a mural on the fence—realistically depicting the boat itself. Call it passive-aggressive, call it malicious compliance, but in any event, call it hilarious. Here is a link to the real life story
Jardin de sculptures de la Fondation Pierre Gianadda, Martigny, Suisse
« Henry Moore (britannique, né le 30 juillet 1898 à Castleford – mort le 31 août 1986 à Hertfordshire) est souvent considéré comme le sculpteur britannique le plus célèbre du XXe siècle. En 1919, il étudie à l’école d’art de Leeds et reçoit une bourse d’études pour le Royal College de Londres en 1921. De 1925 à 1931, Moore enseigne au Royal College et en 1928, il reçoit sa première commande.
Les jardins de la Fondation, ombragés et agrémentés de plans d'eau, présentent d'intéressants vestiges gallo-romains. On peut y admirer une exposition permanente de sculptures du XXe siècle par des artistes de renom international.
Reclining Figure est caractéristique de la création du sculpteur qui balance entre figuration et abstraction. Ses femmes couchées ou ses maternités proposent une stylisation de la forme humaine, marquée par un primitivisme tempéré de biomorphisme, qui évoque les figures de Francis Bacon sans avoir leur violence. Il projette sa composition dans la monumentalité : agrandissant une des deux maquettes en plâtre lui ayant servi de modèle, il colle des ficelles à la surface du matériau pour souligner la fluidité des formes. Moore redécouvre à cette occasion les qualités du plâtre pour les maquettes – qui lui font délaisser peu à peu la terre cuite ou l’argile – et la liberté que lui offre le bronze par rapport au bois ou à la pierre qui le limitaient quant à l’agrandissement de la sculpture.
Comme il l’expliquera plus tard dans ses notes d’atelier, Moore parvient à obtenir une certaine « distorsion de la forme pour la faire coïncider avec l’espace ». Avec Reclining Figure (cat. rais. II, n° 293, cinq tirages en bronze) de 1951, il reconnaît avoir atteint cet objectif et invite le spectateur à regarder son œuvre dans « le sens de la longueur, de la tête aux pieds car les bras, les jambes, les épaules sont vus comme des formes occupant un tunnel qui s’éloigne. Vue de dessus, la figure a des zones d’espace ». La sculpture est déposée, depuis 1998, dans le jardin des Tuileries »

Chichinautzin volcanic field, Mexico City, D.F. This volcanic field immediately south of Mexico City represents and present volcanic threat to Mexico City and environs. Stretching some 90 kilometers east and west south of the city, the field contains more than 220 eruptive vents. Many of the largest are seen in this photograph taken from the top of the Latin American Tower in January 1974. In the far background, two of the three highest volcanic peaks of Mexico are seen: Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatepetl, one of Mexico's most active volcano attaining nearly 18,000 feet above sea level while Iztaccíhuatl is slightly lower and has not erupted in historical times. Thinking we were acclimatized to high altitude by staying in Mexico City (elevation above 7,000 feet) for more than a week, we set out to conquer Volcán Popocatepetl, but alas we failed after a four day effort due to my case of high altitude sickness. We managed to make about the 16,000 level on foot with our back packs. Overnights were extremely cold. We slept inside our tent, inside our down filled sleeping bags with our downfilled jackets and clothes on and our boots with wool socks. We could have been fried as well had the volcano erupted while we slept instead of just letting off a cloud of steam. My headache caused by the high altitude would not sufficiently abate even with the taking of Darvon in an effort to quell the pain, so we took the medical authorities' advice being told if conditions didn't change, go down to a lower elevation. Shoot. We've never been that high on foot again. We did walk down a good portion of the mountain on our way down, camping and hiking to the entrance to the National Park. Landscape is awesome.
To our particular interest are the volcanic stuctures which are seen in the near back ground just beyond the city buildings:
Volcán Pelado, and Cerro Chichinautzin. The significance of this view is to show a few of the hundreds of volcanic vents that occupy the Valley of Mexico and the contemporary danger the volcanoes present. Today everything is quiet except for the nearly daily detonations of distant Popocatepetl hidden in this view by clouds. One of the cones, Xitle, erupted 1600 years ago and covered important prehistoric urban centers - a threat that continues today. For a comparison of the Valley of Mexico in the 19th century to 1974, see this link to a painting by José María Velasco, the famous 19th Century landscape painter of Mexico.

The main image is tree decay. The music is an extract from an old music sheet that belonged to my Mum (I retrieved it from the pile my Dad was chucking out). The hymn is Abide with Me - which I love, but which always makes me cry (probably because I often hear it at funerals). I added a photo of leaves - to represent life - although I think the strange black shape that is some kind of fungi represents life anyway - just a strange one - which probably goes with the unknown aspect of death.
I liked my friend's comments:
"I could see faces in it, not particularly happy ones - ones consistent with decay. (empty eye sockets, like that....) and I really, really like the effect of the black fungus.
The idea of a piece of music like that, with a funereal association for the artist (you), melding with a tree going into its gentle cycle of decay is really nice. Death's just a part of life, as you say: indeed it may be the next step to a new birth or rebirth - whether your own (as if you believe in a life after death) or something else's (as in, the tree rots and provides the basis for another ecosystem of fungi, beetles etc to live on). In the midst of life we're in death, and in the same way a piece of music's not over until it's finished - but the finish isn't its 'goal'. When I play the piano I've not finished til I reach the end of the piece, but I don't play the piece to get to the end."
To observe & take the pictures pf the moving people at street is very interesting as well as very challenging thing for the photographer. Sometimes the faces of street people all looks flat to me, since what I want to capture is the respective atmosphere at the street, people's look are not the focus I would like to take, they are just like the model on the stage, we want customer or audience to watch the clothes , not the models.
Therefore this bunch what I try to capture is the street atmosphere,people are busy, rush, back and forth, in & out, passing through , stand or seat for the life struggling etc.

Est une œuvre de Igor Mitoraj
www.artnet.com/artists/igor-mitoraj/
Igor Mitoraj was a Polish artist best known for his fragmented sculptures of the human body. Often created for large-scale public installations, his monumental works referenced the struggle and suffering of 20th-century Europe. One of his most celebrated pieces, Testa Addormentata (Head Lulled to Sleep) (1983), depicts a bandaged female head on its side rendered in a Greek Classical aesthetic, and is installed on the Canary Wharf in London. “I feel that a piece of arm or a leg speak far more strongly than a whole body,” the artist said of his choice to depict only portions of the body at a time. Born on March 26, 1944 in Oederan, Germany, the artist grew up in Poland and attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. His mentor, the artist Tadeusz Kantor, suggested that he study in Paris, following this advice he enrolled at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. Over the following decades, the artist worked in Paris and in Pietransanta, Italy, where set up a studio and quarried the local stone for his work. Mitoraj died on October 6, 2014 in Paris, France at the age of 70. In 2016, the late artist was the subject of an exhibition held in the ruins of Pompeii which included his statues of the mythological figures Icarus and Daedalus. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., the Narodowe Museum in Krakow, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others.

Biographie
Igor Mitoraj est né en 1944 à Oederan (Saxe) d’une mère polonaise et d’un père français. Il est diplômé de l'Académie des beaux-arts de Cracovie où il a été l'élève de Tadeusz Kantor. Il vit depuis 1968 en France et en Italie. Au début des années 1970, fasciné par les arts précolombiens, il part au Mexique où il commence à sculpter. Il rentre en Europe en 1974 et, en 1976, il expose ses œuvres à Paris à la galerie La Hune.
En 1979, il se rend à Carrare en Toscane où il commence à utiliser le marbre comme support principal, tout en continuant à travailler la terre cuite et le bronze. En 1983, il installe son atelier à Pietrasanta. Igor Mitoraj est considéré comme un des plus éminents artistes contemporains[réf. nécessaire]. Certaines de ses sculptures, souvent de grande taille, sont exposées en plein air dans de nombreuses villes en Europe, aux États-Unis et au Japon.
Certaines œuvres d'Igor Mitoraj provoquent de vives polémiques[réf. nécessaire] comme celles présentées en avril 2008 sur la Piazza Trento à Tivoli, en face de l'église Sainte Maria Maggiore et de l'entrée de la Villa d'Este. On y a vu la célébration du rite séculier de l’inchinata1.
Durant l'été 2011 ses œuvres sont exposées au sein de la Vallée des Temples à Agrigente (Sicile) et se mélangent subtilement à ce site classé au patrimoine de l'Humanité.
Il est mort le 6 octobre 2014 dans un hôpital de Paris2..."
