Comically proportioned and extremely crude model of the Ford Sierra XR4I by Suntoys. Part of a 30 vehicle set. Mint and boxed.

With his comical and endearing take on figurative representation, Wu Qiong once again engages in social commentary by creating Laura, a character beyond social convention. Regardless of whether male or female, the moustached figure is resplendent in flamboyant cabaret apparel. The character looks upwards with characteristic facial expressions of closed eyes and open mouths - but seems to exhibit pride and confidence rather than bewildered idealism.

Collection

The foundation of the collection consists of 205 mostly French and Dutch paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries which Margravine Karoline Luise acquired 1759-1776. From this collection originate significant works, such as The portrait of a young man by Frans van Mieris the Elder, The winter landscape with lime kiln of Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, The Lacemaker by Gerard Dou, the Still Life with hunting equipment and dead partridge of Willem van Aelst, The Peace in the Chicken yard by Melchior de Hondecoeter as well as a self-portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn. In addition, four still lifes of Jean Siméon Chardin and two pastoral scenes by François Boucher, having been commissioned directly by the Marchioness from artists.

A first significant expansion the museum received in 1858 by the collection of canon Johann Baptist von Hirscher (1788-1865) with works of religious art of the 15th and 16th centuries. This group includes works such as two tablets of the Sterzinger altar and the wing fragment The sacramental blessing of Bartholomew Zeitblom. From 1899 to 1920, the native of Baden painter Hans Thoma held the position of Director of the Kunsthalle. He acquired old masterly paintings as the tauberbischofsheim altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald and drove the expansion of the collection with art of the 19th century forward. Only his successors expanded the holdings of the Art Gallery with works of Impressionism and the following generations of artists.

The permanent exhibition in the main building includes approximately 800 paintings and sculptures. Among the outstanding works of art of the Department German painters of the late Gothic and Renaissance are the Christ as Man of Sorrows by Albrecht Dürer, the Carrying of the Cross and the Crucifixion by Matthias Grünewald, Maria with the Child by Lucas Cranach the Elder, the portrait of Sebastian Brant by Hans Burgkmair the elder and The Nativity of Hans Baldung. Whose Margrave panel due to property disputes in 2006 made it in the headlines and also led to political conflicts. One of the biggest buying successes which a German museum in the postwar period was able to land concerns the successive acquisition of six of the seven known pieces of a Passion altar in 1450 - the notname of the artist after this work "Master of the Karlsruhe Passion" - a seventh piece is located in German public ownership (Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne).

In the department of Dutch and Flemish paintings of the 16th century can be found, in addition to the aforementioned works, the portrait of the Marchesa Veronica Spinola Doria by Peter Paul Rubens, Moses strikes the rock and water flows for the thirsty people of Israel of Jacob Jordaens, the still life with kitchen tools and foods of Frans Snyders, the village festival of David Teniers the younger, the still life with lemon, oranges and filled clay pot by Willem Kalf, a Young couple having breakfast by Gabriel Metsu, in the bedroom of Pieter de Hooch, the great group of trees at the waterfront of Jacob Izaaksoon van Ruisdael, a river landscape with a milkmaid of Aelbert Jacobsz. Cuyp as well as a trompe-l'œil still life of Samuel van Hoogstraten.

Further examples of French paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries are, the adoration of the golden calf of Claude Lorrain, preparations for dance class of the Le Nain brothers, the portrait of Marshal Charles-Auguste de Matignon by Hyacinthe Rigaud, the portrait of a young nobleman in hunting costume of Nicolas de Largillière, The storm of Claude Joseph Vernet and The minuet of Nicolas Lancret. From the 19th century can be found with Rocky wooded valley at Civita Castellana by Gustave Courbet, The Lamentation of Eugène Delacroix, the children portrait Le petit Lange of Édouard Manet, the portrait of Madame Jeantaud by Edgar Degas, the landscape June morning near Pontoise by Camille Pissarro, homes in Le Pouldu Paul Gauguin and views to the sea at L'Estaque by Paul Cézanne further works of French artists at Kunsthalle.

One focus of the collection is the German painting and sculpture of the 19th century. From Joseph Anton Koch, the Kunsthalle possesses a Heroic landscape with rainbow, from Georg Friedrich Kersting the painting The painter Gerhard Kügelgen in his studio, from Caspar David Friedrich the landscape rocky reef on the sea beach and from Karl Blechen view to the Monastery of Santa Scolastica. Other important works of this department are the disruption of Adolph Menzel as well as the young self-portrait, the portrait Nanna Risi and The Banquet of Plato of Anselm Feuerbach.

For the presentation of the complex of oeuvres by Hans Thoma, a whole wing in 1909 at the Kunsthalle was installed. Main oeuvres of the arts are, for example, the genre picture The siblings as well as, created on behalf of the grand-ducal family, Thoma Chapel with its religious themes.

Of the German contemporaries of Hans Thoma, Max Liebermann on the beach of Noordwijk and Lovis Corinth with a portrait of his wife in the museum are represented. Furthermore the Kunsthalle owns works by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Carl Spitzweg, Arnold Böcklin, Hans von Marées, Wilhelm Leibl, Fritz von Uhde, Wilhelm Trübner and Max Klinger.

In the building of the adjacent Orangerie works of the collection and new acquisitions from the years after 1952 can be seen. In two integrated graphics cabinets the Kupferstichkabinett (gallery of prints) gives insight into its inventory of contemporary art on paper. From the period after 1945, the works Arabs with footprints by Jean Dubuffet, Sponge Relief RE 48; Sol. 1960 by Yves Klein, Honoring the square: Yellow center of Josef Albers, the cityscape F by Gerhard Richter and the Fixe idea by Georg Baselitz in the Kunsthalle.

Sammlung

Den Grundstock der Sammlung bilden 205 meist französische und niederländische Gemälde des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts, welche Markgräfin Karoline Luise zwischen 1759 und 1776 erwarb. Aus dieser Sammlung stammen bedeutende Arbeiten, wie das Bildnis eines jungen Mannes von Frans van Mieris der Ältere, die Winterlandschaft mit Kalkofen von Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, Die Spitzenklöpplerin von Gerard Dou, das Stillleben mit Jagdgeräten und totem Rebhuhn von Willem van Aelst, Der Friede im Hühnerhof von Melchior de Hondecoeter sowie ein Selbstbildnis von Rembrandt van Rijn. Hinzu kommen vier Stillleben von Jean Siméon Chardin und zwei Schäferszenen von François Boucher, die die Markgräfin bei Künstlern direkt in Auftrag gegeben hatte.

Eine erste wesentliche Erweiterung erhielt das Museum 1858 durch die Sammlung des Domkapitulars Johann Baptist von Hirscher (1788–1865) mit Werken religiöser Kunst des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts. Zu dieser Gruppe gehören Werke wie zwei Tafeln des Sterzinger Altars und das Flügelfragment Der sakramentale Segen von Bartholomäus Zeitblom. Von 1899 bis 1920 bekleidete der aus Baden stammende Maler Hans Thoma die Position des Direktors der Kunsthalle. Er erwarb altmeisterliche Gemälde wie den Tauberbischofsheimer Altar von Matthias Grünewald und trieb den Ausbau der Sammlung mit Kunst des 19. Jahrhunderts voran. Erst seine Nachfolger erweiterten die Bestände der Kunsthalle um Werke des Impressionismus und der folgenden Künstlergenerationen.

Die Dauerausstellung im Hauptgebäude umfasst rund 800 Gemälde und Skulpturen. Zu den herausragenden Kunstwerken der Abteilung deutsche Maler der Spätgotik und Renaissance gehören der Christus als Schmerzensmann von Albrecht Dürer, die Kreuztragung und Kreuzigung von Matthias Grünewald, Maria mit dem Kinde von Lucas Cranach der Ältere, das Bildnis Sebastian Brants von Hans Burgkmair der Ältere und die Die Geburt Christi von Hans Baldung. Dessen Markgrafentafel geriet durch Eigentumsstreitigkeiten 2006 in die Schlagzeilen und führte auch zu politischen Auseinandersetzungen. Einer der größten Ankaufserfolge, welche ein deutsches Museum in der Nachkriegszeit verbuchen konnte, betrifft den sukzessiven Erwerb von sechs der sieben bekannten Tafeln eines Passionsaltars um 1450 – der Notname des Malers nach diesem Werk „Meister der Karlsruher Passion“ – eine siebte Tafel befindet sich in deutschem öffentlichen Besitz (Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Köln).

Von Joseph Anton Koch besitzt die Kunsthalle eine Heroische Landschaft mit Regenbogen, von Georg Friedrich Kersting das Gemälde Der Maler Gerhard Kügelgen in seinem Atelier, von Caspar David Friedrich das Landschaftsbild Felsenriff am Meeresstrand und von Karl Blechen den Blick auf das Kloster Santa Scolastica. Weitere bedeutende Werke dieser Abteilung sind Die Störung von Adolph Menzel sowie das Jugendliche Selbstbildnis, das Bildnis Nanna Risi und Das Gastmahl des Plato von Anselm Feuerbach.

Für die Präsentation des Werkkomplexes von Hans Thoma wurde 1909 in der Kunsthalle ein ganzer Gebäudetrakt errichtet. Hauptwerke des Künstlers sind etwa das Genrebild Die Geschwister sowie die, im Auftrag der großherzöglichen Familie geschaffene, Thoma-Kapelle mit ihren religiösen Themen.

From watching Buzzards above the moors near Harden Moss to following a heron on the canal with a few comical goats thrown in I didn't have a bad weekend really. The Buzzards seemed to appear out of nowhere as usual, moving fast and flying high they took a bit of tracking. The heron on the other hand took an hour to walk from the other side of the reservoir to a point close to me. it stopped at an awkward angle for me to photograph it without me moving and being seen. It then did a short flight to the canal, I moved and sat on a parapet wall above a deep drop in to a canal lock. The heron skipped over the canal and came so close that I had to lean back as far as I could without actually moving and being seen just to get the bird in the frame. At times I could only get partial shots. It them flew past me, almost brushing me and landed nearby on the towpath. Fortunately on this Saturday evening it was quiet and as it walked along the towpath I shadowed it at a distance, it flew in to the canal and was eventually frightened off by dogs. My arms were killing me I'd been holding the lens and camera in front of me non stop for an hour, fighting the cramp in my left arm. The things we do.

The goats on the wall top were a bit of a distraction as I followed three Buzzards messing around in a field near a farm in the afternoon and I snatched a few shots, the one behind was headbutting the others from behind to make them keep moving, very comical.

Here is a comical depiction of a visit to the Paris Catacombs, which from very early on was a tourist attraction, and perhaps the first place to make death into a spectacle in Paris. More accessible and more mysterious than the cemeteries, the catacombs were a perfect location to transform the morbid into a spectacle. We see that the visitors in this picture are of two classes. The man with the lantern appears to be the guide and of a lower class, while the ladies and the gentlemen in tails appear to be upper class tourists, perhaps not even from Paris. The morbid nature of a catacomb is downplayed in the sketch, with a silly practical joke being portrayed. Also, the fact that ladies are even pictured in the location is making a statement about what kind of place one should conceive the catacombs to be.

These comical little penguins nest among the nesting black-browed albatrosses for protection of eggs and chicks from predators

japaneseforeignexchange says:

In the early afternoon, I went to a calligraphy lesson. Little kids know so much kanji, I feel sorry for them, as if part of their childhood as been stolen by their education. It was comical listening to how little boys talk with a "manly" tone, using endings such as "da" and "zo" at the end of a sentence. They're just little kids but probably think it sounds "cool" and "adult-like."

 

The woman giving calligraphy lessons in her home said I looked like an American doll, and that I had a beautiful smile, which I don't understand because the Japanese people are so fit and beautiful. When I saw her dog, she said this was the first time he had not barked when meeting a new person, and said that it was because he could see my kindness in my face. I was just being myself, and yet was showered with comments. I probably won't meet her again, but she left a strong impression on me. She had such a sweet personality. Making friends in Japan is an art with tradition. I hope I will taking back with me the art of friend-making and gift-giving. The kindness of the Japanese people have really touched me.

 

After calligraphy lessons, we went my mother's friend's house. When I met her, I could see that she was very passionate about traditional Japanese culture. And sure enough we spend the entire time looking through albums of pictures of people wearing kimonos and visiting special places in Japan. If my mother is able to take me, the woman will dress me up in the kimonos she owns (some ten thousand dollars!) and take pictures. I told her I was really impressed by how she melds the old with the new, and that her passion radiates to other people, and she keeps culture alive. Her son was really cute. I thought he was 25 or so, but then I learned he was the same age. How can he be so buff at such a young age? But like all young Japanese guys, he was also incredibly shy.

 

I asked my grandmother a lot of questions today. I think she probably has an unique perspective because she has lived through a world war, and watched a country change dramatically. Grandmother's generational (through-out the world) has seen things such as TV introduced, and know what life was like beforehand. It was sad to hear that Japanese school has always been strict, and that her teacher used to hit the students with rulers. Today on TV, I saw a coast-guard trainer kick a student repeatedly. Sometimes people can be a bit extreme.

 

In the early morning, a taifun will go over Wakayama. To be honest, I'm a little excited. It was supposed to come this evening. I heard the door rattling, and screamed, but it was only Grandma, who laughed when I told her I thought she had been the taifun. I am confined to my sister's island, because walking through the courtyard is apparently dangerous because things fly at you.

 

Four or so days ago, there was a small earthquake. I started banicking, wondering where I should take cover (there really is nothing. Japanese tables are too low), but it stopped quickly. And a day or two later, there had been a lightning storm. Noticing it had been following me home from school, I had stopped using my umbrella, which, in a practical sense, is a metal rod. I was so close to the house when a huge boom sounded right above me. I saw the bolt go over me at an angle into an area beyond a few houses or so. Pretty exciting stuff, I must say . . .

 

My new host family are sweethearts. They're releived that I'm not like their previous host students. My host sister, whom I share a room with, has such a direct, say-it-as-it-is American personality. She just returned from the U.S. two weeks ago.

  

The unique comical face of this bird have made it the stuff of literary legends. This free-flight exhibition at the Museum provided the best photo ops for this bird and several other raptor species that I have ever experienced. They land on props really close to the viewing audience and otherwise engage in truly natural behavior.

Paestum is two hours down the autostrada from Pompeii but the contrast is almost comical. A day earlier we had been suffocating in Pompeii, failing miserably to dodge tour guides and being barked at by the custodians. The next day we were on our own in the wide open green spaces of Paestum, sharing a picnic on the steps of a temple with the security guard

 

The site is so far off the tourist track that it is almost invisible. What they miss is one of the greatest Hellenic sites, the three Doric temples dedicated to Hera and Athena are among the best preserved Greek temples anywhere. But don’t tell them......

Torture Tues: You know how I can't stop laughing when someone gets hurt in a comical way??? Well, I'm STILL chuckling as I replay Nica P's AWESOME tumble today HAHAHAHHA... Hairy Hannah came ripping down the hilly trail to greet Nica P and when she got to Nica P, her leash got tangled in Nica P's leg and Nica P went airborne!! I am sooooooooooooo bummed I didn't get that one on video!!! But you know??? Because Nica P is so fit and strong, she just got right up and we all had a good laugh!!! If she weren't in shape, she would have been laying on the dirt for a very long time hahhahahaha!!! And come to think of it, Aloha G took a tumble tripping over Ellie-G yesterday ... not to mention my epic face plant into the cement when I tripped over the uneven surface of the sidewalk as I was racing Wailee in the dark...if we weren't in shape, it would have not been so funny!! Another reminder of the great benefits of staying healthy!!!

Another thing I missed on video....Wailee chasing geese/ducks towards the pond...we thought she was going to stop at the shore but my coyote jumped into the water and then had a look on her face like, "Uh ohhhh...." hahahha....after a moment of thought, she put those kangaroo legs into action and sprung up and BOUNCED/Hopped/Pranced back to shore!! I'm pretty sure the geese/ducks were laughing thinking, "You got your bachi!!"

 

Anyways, it was another awesome Torture Tues...After our 1 Mile XC Warm-Up, we did Arms/Legs/Cardio then Abs/Paddles.

 

After class, the Spam-Dogs had some off-leash fun. Ellie-G wore Wailee out with her wrestling game!!! I've never seen Wailee to tired hahahhah!!! After her bath to get the pond water off hahaha, she jumped on the couch and conked out!! HAHAH!!

 

Great stuff Windy M, Skinny S, Half T, Terminator, Killer A, Aloha G, Ab Queen, Nica P, Ripped L, Cat W and all the Spam-Dogs!!

...attacks the unsuspecting rubber chicken. And, as if the chicken wasn't already limp enough, the plump purple clad, bug-eyed alien savagely twisted and wrung its neck while grunting, moaning and seemingly enjoyed the process of destroying the fabricated fowl.

 

This band of musical terrestrials was entertaining but when the lead singer pulled out the chicken and his bizarre antics with that began, well, the show turned comical and then hilarious. Perhaps it was the unexpectedness of the action - up until that, they were just a colourful musical/comedy act, simply clownish.

 

Maybe that's what makes comedy side-splitting, when it's unexpected. The element of surprise or shock, like the pie-in-your-face or the guy who slips on the banana peel or the comic who, relating the story, has a great and surprising last line.

 

The Just for Laughs Festival is one of my favourite festivals and already, I've been twice, just to walk around the site and spend day and evening, taking in the colours, comedy and joie de vivre. Montrealers love their city, are endlessly grateful for summer and really put on a great show; the Just for Laughs festival is one of those, one of several dozen that runs on the sizzling days and sultry nights of our glorious summer.

 

"The largest comedy festival in the world invites you to Montréal. Every summer, the festival tickles the city into a laughing frenzy with galas, street art, theatre productions, and stand-up performances. Hosting some 1,700 artists from 19 countries as well as over 2 million festival-goers, Just For Laughs offers 1,600 performances, including 1,200 free outdoor shows."

Meerkats may look like prairie dogs, are really related to the mongoose. These comical creatures are inquisitive and alert at all times, you see them busily digging in the dirt looking for insects, making underground burrows.

 

These little carnivores live and work together in a group called a gang or a mob, helping each other to care for youngsters or keep a lookout for danger. If trouble is spotted, the lookout alerts the others and they all dash back into the burrows for safety. Fun to watch! :)

 

The Meerkat (aka: Suricate) is a small species of foraging mammal found inhabiting harsh open conditions in the semi-desert plains in southern Africa.

 

A member of the Mongoose family, Meerkats differ from Mongoose species in a number of ways with the biggest difference being that Meerkats are incredibly sociable animals, where most Mongooses are not.

Some of the most comical and fun-loving birds we have in Australia are members of the cockatoo family, the Little Corella's.

 

They are clowns and love to play, a habit that is uncommon in the bird world. They wrestle with each other and will lie on their backs with their feet in the air, just chilling. They love to hang upside down by one foot or their bill from a branch.

 

Corella's have been known to slide down steep roofs, falling off the edge and flying back to slide down again. Another wild ride they love is hanging onto windmill blades or sitting on roof exhausts and spinning around.
