Gallery Jerome de Noirmont sets from tomorrow the work of the photographer Valérie Belin, it's merging a series of female portraits sophisticated style for years 50 to flowers.

Excerpt from press release
In each of the images in this series, Valérie Belin was applied to create an equivalence in the image of women and flowers, working through both the addition of forms and subtraction of information. Women and flowers are thus given equal importance and equal status of pure decoration. This escalation of scenery seems to place the image in a completely formalist aesthetics, the subject is hidden by the effects of style.
Throughout his career, the artist has challenged the boundaries between real and virtual, since Lenses (1993) and Venetian mirrors I and II (1997) until Models (2003 ) Models and Métis (2006), within the general framework of an investigation on the limits of photography. His photographic works have always had a surreal, obtained by optical effects or oversizing of the topic. In his recent series as Lido (2007) or the Crowned Heads (2009), the artist chose subjects with a strong image, a strong power of representation, qualities highlighted in treatment totally dreamlike portrait of grace to new technologies and different depending on the series.

Medicines That Make Polyneuropathy Worse.

Michel Houellebecq a success justified.

Photography Vincent Ferrane published in Telerama No. 3174

Michel Houellebecq, an immense talent recognized belatedly hailed by the Prix Goncourt 2010. Successful critical and commercial success of the public.

In beginning reading map and territory, I had that feeling comfortable to enter a powerful book. Style with long sentences who reminded me that of Sagan for its fluidity, its wry and ironic tone I was immediately enchanted, that's how the book begins:

"Jeff Koons had just risen from his seat, his arms thrown forward in a burst of enthusiasm. Assis in front of him on a white leather sofa partially covered with silk, a little packed on himself, Damien Hirst seemed about to make an objection, and his face was ruddy, gloomy. Both were dressed in costume Black - one of Koons, pinstripe - a white shirt and black tie. Between the two men, on the coffee table was placed a basket of candied fruit which neither one nor the other paid no attention; Hirst drank a Budweiser Light.
Behind them, a bay window opening onto a landscape of tall buildings which formed a gigantic tangle Babylonian polygons, to the ends of the horizon, the night was bright, the air of absolute clarity. It might have been in Qatar or Dubai, the decoration of the room was actually inspired by a publicity photograph, taken from a publication of German luxury, hotel Emirates of Abu Dhabi.
The front of Jeff Koons was slightly shiny; Jed stump to brush, stepped back from three not. There was definitely a problem with Koons. Hirst was essentially easy to grasp: we could do so brutal, cynical, like "I shit on you from the top of my money" could also do rebellious artist (but still rich) continuing work on distressed death, there was finally in his face something of blood and heavy, typically English, which approached the base of a fan of Arsenal. In sum there were different aspects, but that could combine the coherent picture, representable, a typical British artist of his generation. While Koons seemed to bring him something twice as an insurmountable contradiction between the cunning ordinary technical sales and exaltation of the ascetic. It had been three weeks since Jed retouched expression Koons rising from his seat, his arms thrown forward in a burst of enthusiasm as if trying to convince Hirst, it was as difficult as painting a Mormon pornographer ".

Here is a successful entry into the field, after the novel is equally delectable. It surprises third party when the book turns into an investigation. We appreciate the mocking and very accurate description of the art world contemporary critics, his press officers (the Marilyn's character is to die for!) and its merchants. The writer also highlights the surreal side can reach the artworks, to the surprise of the artist who produces them. Jed, contemporary artist and protagonist of the book seems to be the hidden side of a portrait of the author. This is supplemented by Michel Houellebecq himself appears in the book as a writer in the service of the artist. Exchanges between the artist and the writer creates a double gaze fixed on the world interesting. The humor and irony regularly punctuate the book, which to some may make it entertaining (Notably through the passage of baroque and downright funny evening at Jean-Pierre Pernaut). Nevertheless, our analysis Houellebecq company a callous and offers a few exciting future. As usual, the author bother pointing to the symptoms of anxiety consumer society, devoid of beauty and spirituality.

What Happens When You Are In Coma?

Aesthetics

Aesthetics is a philosophical discipline aimed perceptions, meaning, beauty (in nature or art), or that relates exclusively to the concept of art. The aesthetic is thus designated area until the eighteenth century by science or critical fine taste, and since the nineteenth century became the philosophy of art.

Aesthetics refers, for example, the emotions caused by a work of art (or some gestures, attitudes, things), judgments of the work, what is specific or unique to an expression (artistic, literary, poetic, etc..), what might be described as beautiful as opposed to the useful and functional.

Aesthetics is generally within the philosophy of knowledge, science of the sensible, what is the meaning given in intuition or vision, that is to say, in space and time, as opposed to what is the intelligible, the understanding or pure reason, or metaphysics.

In common parlance, the word is synonymous with aesthetic beauty. And as the name, aesthetics is a concept denoting all those characteristics that determine the appearance of something, often synonymous with design or physical aspect of the human body.
