"The program moved towards its climax in late November. On 27 and 28 November South Australia’s school children presented a Pageant of Empire. This extraordinary event was the brainchild of Miss Adelaide Miethke, redoubtable Inspector of Schools, and outstanding organizer. In five acts over the two days, Miss Miethke assembled some 14,000 costumed children in a series of patriotic tableaux, directing the whole and keeping order with her ‘stentorian voice’. There were five tableaux in all – one each for the British Isles, Canada, India and Australia, before a final tableau in which Britannia ‘gathered her different peoples around her’. No stereotype was spared. The children were dressed as roses, daffodils, Scottish thistles, shamrocks, Grenadier Guards and yeomen of the guard. But there were also Aboriginal people, North American Indians, Indian dancing girls, rajahs, bunyips, kangaroos and soldiers answering the call to arms. The culminating piece presented the centenary’s main message, ‘Peace and Goodwill’, in the centre of a huge circle. Some 13,300 children were positioned on the oval for this tableau! Six hundred and eighty ‘Girls of the Cross’ formed the word ‘Peace’, 900 ‘Wattle Blossoms’ made up the year 1936 and 1,100 ‘Roses’ represented ‘Goodwill’. A committee of 700 co-ordinated the thousands of mothers who made the costumes. The whole was described as a ‘brilliant and heart stirring spectacle’." - adelaidia.sa.gov.au/events/centenary-celebrations-1936

William Klein (born in New York, New York, USA, on April 19, 1928) is a photographer and filmmaker noted to for his ironic approach[1][2] to both media and his extensive use of unusual photographic techniques in the context of photojournalism and fashion photography.[1] He was ranked 25th on Professional Photographer's Top 100 Most influential photographers.[3]
Trained as a painter, Klein studied under Fernand Léger and found early success with exhibitions of his work. However, he soon moved on to photography and achieved widespread fame as a fashion photographer for Vogue and for his photo essays on various cities. Despite having no training as a photographer, Klein won the Prix Nadar in 1957 for New York, a book of photographs taken during a brief return to his hometown in 1954. Klein's work was considered revolutionary for its "ambivalent and ironic approach to the world of fashion",[1] its "uncompromising rejection of the then prevailing rules of photography"[1] and for his extensive use of wide-angle and telephoto lenses, natural lighting and motion blur.[1] Klein tends to be cited in photography books along with Robert Frank as among the fathers of street photography, one of those mixed compliments that classifies a man who is hard to classify.[4] The world of fashion would become the subject for Klein's first feature film, Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?, which, like his other two fiction features, Mr. Freedom and The Model Couple, is a satire.
Klein has directed numerous short and feature-length documentaries and has produced over 250 television commercials.[5]
Though American by birth, Klein has lived and worked in France since his late teens. His work has sometimes been openly critical of American society and foreign policy; the film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum once wrote that Klein's 1968 satire Mr. Freedom was "conceivably the most anti-American movie ever made."

Odd Nerdrum (born April 8, 1944 in Helsingborg, Sweden), is a Norwegian figurative painter. Themes and style in Nerdrum's work reference anecdote and narrative, while primary influences by the painters Rembrandt and Caravaggio place his work in direct conflict with the abstraction and conceptual art considered acceptable in much of his native Norway, and in opposition to the art of the time.
Nerdrum creates six to eight paintings per year. These include Still life paintings of small everyday objects like bricks, portraits and self portraits whose subjects are dressed as if from some other time and place, and large paintings, allegorical in nature that present a sense of the apocalyptic and again reference another time. Nerdrum says that his art should be understood as kitsch rather than art as such. "On Kitsch", a manifesto composed by Nerdrum describes the distinction he makes between kitsch and art. Nerdrum's philosophy has spawned The Kitsch Movement among his students and followers, who call themselves kitsch painters as opposed to artists.

Irish painter and decorative artist. His sister, Melanie le Brocquy (b 1919), was a distinguished sculptor. In 1934 he joined the family business and studied chemistry at Trinity College and teaching himself to paint. He first exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1937 and from 1938 spent two years studying Old Master paintings at the National Gallery, London, the Louvre, the Prado, and in Venice and Geneva.
There's something reverant and poetic about the entire body of work, as is evidenced by le Brocquy's frequent portraits of fellow Irish greats such as Oscar Wilde, WB Yeats and Samuel Beckett. Yet le Brocquy's poetry is always rigorously painterly and visual. He never falls off into literary illustration or compositional melodrama. As Francis Bacon once remarked, le Brocquy continues to be "obsessed by figuration outside and on the other side of illustration". And there is certainly a thematic otherness haunting all of his painterly and graphic work, whether it be the psychologically incisive portraits, ritualized figure gatherings, lyrical still-lifes or the long series of mist-drenched watercolor landscapes.
Chennai, 7th July. 10AM at the Common Wealth War Memorial Ground we had a Poetry Reading Session to celebrate Frida Kahlo's 101th Birthday. We usually have a monthly reading session and its a small self interest group that spun out of the Chennai Photowalk group and the Chennai Blogging group.
If you are interested in poetry and want to know when the next reading session is then i recommend you watch Sharanya Manivanan's Blog on your RSS Reader.
You can also watch Big C's Blog and we usually send out a week or at least 5 days notice. A small request though is if you don't have material you wrote we appreciate if you could bring some material that you like to read and discuss. After all poetry is entertainment and we all come to be entertained and lust with the art of words, however we sure feel more content with everybody's part in the group. The more the diverse material and the more interesting it is for the whole session.
This picture was taken after the reading session. Apparently it was Deesh's idea for this composition. We we are supposed to do the opposite. The men play women poses and the women play the men, i guess it did not really work out well. Of course Big C has a version of this and i strike the Madonna pose with the middle finger stamping the quintessential material girl... well.. err boy, i guess.

Yue Minjun (Chinese: 岳敏君) is a contemporary Chinese artist based in Beijing, China. He is best known for oil paintings depicting himself in various settings, frozen in laughter. He has also reproduced this signature image in sculpture, watercolour and prints. While Yue is often classified as part of the Chinese "Cynical Realist" movement in art developed in China since 1989, Yue himself rejects this label, while at the same time "doesn't concern himself about what people call him."[1]
Yue Minjun in the town of Daqing in Heilongjiang, China. Yue's family had been working on oil fields. When he was ten, his family moved to Beijing. He eventually moved to Hebei to find education and work, there he studied oil painting, he graduated from the Hebei Normal University in 1983. In the 1980s, he started painting portraits of his co-workers and the sea while he was engaged in deep-sea oil drilling. In 1989, he was inspired by a painting by Geng Jianyi at an art show in Beijing, which depicted Geng's own laughing face.[2] In 1990, he moved to Beijing, which was also home to other Chinese artists. During this period, his style of art developed out of portraits of his bohemian friends. Yue had been living a "nomadic" existence for much of his life, because his family often moved in order to find work on various oilfields.[3]
Over the years, Yue Minjun's style has rapidly developed. Yue often challenges social and cultural conventions by depicting objects and even political issues in a radical and abstract manner. He has also shifted his focus from the technical aspects to the "whole concept of creation". His self-portraits have been described by theorist Li Xianting as “a self-ironic response to the spiritual vacuum and folly of modern-day China.”[5] Art critics have often associated Yue with the Cynical Realism art movement in contemporary Chinese art.
Yue is currently residing with fifty other Chinese artists in the Songzhuang Village. His piece Execution became the most expensive work ever by a Chinese contemporary artist, when sold in 2007 for £2.9 million pounds (US $5.9 million) at London's Sotheby's.[7] The record sale took place week after his painting Massacre of Chios sold at the Hong Kong Sotheby's for nearly $4.1 million.[9] 'Massacre of Chios' shares its name with a painting of the same name, by Eugène Delacroix. As of 2007 thirteen of his paintings had sold for over a million dollars. One of his most popurar series was his "Hat" collection. This series, pictures Yue's grinning head wearing a variety of hats. The artist tells us that the series is about a "sense of the absurdity of the ideas that govern the sociopolitical protocol surrounding hats." The series nicely illustrates the way that Yue's character is universally adaptable, a sort of logo that can be attached to any setting to add value.
In 1999 Yue began fabricating bronze sculptural versions of his signature self-portrait paintings, playing off China's famous Qin Dynasty army of terracotta warriors. While the ancient sculptures are known for the subtle individuality of each of the warriors, his cackling modern-day version are relentlessly identical, cast from the same mold. During the "Year of China" in France in 2003/2004, he participated to the exhibition "China, the body everywhere?" including 39 Chinese contemporary artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Marseille.[10]

Each year a new set of limited edition prints are published, and his most popular work, The Singing Butler, sells more posters and postcards than any other artist in the UK. On 21 April 2004 the original canvas of The Singing Butler sold at auction for £744,500 — in stark contrast to 1992 when Vettriano painted the picture and submitted it for inclusion in the Royal Academy summer show, only to be rejected.
The young priest is Fr Thomas Griffith, location unknown but it may be St Eunan's, Letterkenny where he worked circa 1920.

William T. Shorey (1859-1919) was a famous captain in the last days of whaling. He was born in Barbados, the son of a Scottish sugar planter and an Indian creole woman. Shorey began seafaring as a teenager and in 1876 he made his first whaling voyage. Whaling brought him to California and he married the daughter from a leading African American family in San Francisco. In 1886 he became the only black West Coast ship captain. Known for his skill and leadership, Shorey experienced many adventures and dangers at sea with multiracial crews before his retirement in 1908.
