His direct return of our look is bizarre and troubling, as is his wide, almost two-dimensional presence in front of the landscape. It is almost as if he were a wooden cut-out, like the painted wooden figure of a yokel that the British rococo painter Thomas Gainsborough once made.
Every now and again, a young musician emerges on the scene that represents and practices a classical style that isn't necessarily popular amongst today's younger generations. By doing this, musicians are paying homage to a sound that came before them and shaped so many styles of music. This notion is true for 27-year-old Jonathan Antione.

A stunning Large French majolica wall platter, late 19th c., with high relief decoration of colored apples dangling from a vine. At the end of the 19th century, Longchamp and Fives-Lille produced fruits platters of all kinds in a range of four sizes. The story of the majolica of Fives-Lille begins which Antione Gustave De Bruyn, a fourth generation potter from Belgium. In 1864 he left Belgium and moved to Fives-Lille, a community in the northern part of France to make his fortune in the French pottery trade. He began by building his own factory for the production of clay pipes and whistles. Soon the business was expanded to include earthenware and stoneware for daily use. Art pottery and the newly popular majolica were incorporated into the company's catalog in 1887. Soon majolica became the body of choice for the production of humidors, jardinières, vases and umbrella stands. The company's silver medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889, was a testament to its success. A fine example of European artistry of the 19th century to display on your wall in your dining room, keeping room, living room, or even bedroom. Detailed and colorful they'll be a centerpiece wherever you hang them.
A new acquisition by The Getty augments their already significant collection of European Old Master works.

The impossible flyer So this little guy was a long time coming. A bumblebee design seemed as impossible as the laws of aerodynamics apparently make flight for this rounded insect with small, slow-flapping wings - but impossible it was not! I couldn't get the composition right until I took a cue from the butterfly I pai
Artist: Antione de Saint Exupery Title: The Conceited Man Condition: Near Mint Edition Size: 300 Image Size: 15.5 x 12.25 inches Paper Size: 15.5 x 12.25 inches Medium: Lithograph Year: 2008 Although Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (June 29, 1900–July 31, 1944) only wrote one children’s book in his lifetime, it is among the most beloved of all time, one of those rare gems with most timeless philosophy for grown-ups. But what few realize is that Saint-Exupéry, a commercial pilot who never mastered English and penned his masterwork in French, wrote The Little Prince (public library) not in Paris but in New York City and Long Island, where he arrived in 1940 after the Nazi invasion of France. In April of 1943, shortly after the book came out, 43-year-old Saint-Exupéry shoved his Little Prince manuscripts and drawings in a brown paper bag, handing it to his friend Silvia Hamilton — “I’d like to give you something splendid,” he told her, “but this is all I have.” — and departed for Algiers as a military pilot with the Free French Air Force. He was eight years over the age limit for pilots in such squadrons, so he petitioned relentlessly for exemption until it was finally granted by General Dwight Eisenhower. On July 31, 1944, he left on a reconnaissance mission, never to return. He was 44 years old when he perished — a biographical detail that lends eerie poignancy to the fact that, perched atop his little planet, the Little Prince watched the sun set exactly 44 times. less
