What goes on behind the closed doors of the conclave, where cardinals pick a successor to Pope Benedict XVI.

From my experience as a photographer, dancers are the best models out there by far. I'll always prefer shooting a dancer with no modeling experience, than someone who cant dance and have some experience. They Know how to move, how to control their body and positions. They have grace, and usually with them I get the best results. So to prove my point, this week I'm bringing you

Now that Kim Jong Il is dead, I wonder how long the alien world that I found in North Korea will continue to exist.

"Weapons of Mass Creation" is a wonderful poster series by Justin Kamerer (aka Angryblue) that juxtaposes creative tools with destructive weapons. The

I-modulArt, is the expression of a combination of various cultural fields that offer a new creative perspective and flatten out the borderlines between adjacent territories, materials, colours, nature and technicalities. At this time of great cultural contamination, open to every type of experimentation: between art-design-fashion, handicraft wisdom and hyper-technological sophistication, nature and artifice, mass production and product customisation, tradition and innovation, one can weigh up the contents of each, sometimes also the limits, to then recompose them using a renewed design grammar, a new foundation. And this makes all the difference. The seduction of matter strongly emerges. There is a revival of natural, ancestral materials such as wood, iron, glass and even stone. The important thing is that the result is an aesthetic combination of all these materials that are never used by themselves but always mixed.

Commentary: There is a parallel between the rejection of the Second Vatican Council and the relationship between the U.S. church and Pope Francis. Opposition to Francis is rooted in the opposition to Vatican II.

The gardens opening in May for the Norfolk National Garden Scheme(NGS) feature a profusion of vivid colours ranging from carpets of bluebells to bright yellow and orange azaleas and bold blooms of massed rhododendrons.

Yes all right, I know this scene is not a beergarden (Biergarten), just a garden idyll. But recently it has led me to some great works of art that are related to this theme by contemporary artists (most were born approximately 1865-1875) in the time the subject of my recent postings, Hélène Maß, created this charming woodblock print. At least I think she must have been acquainted with many of the artists and their works shown in this posting. Although it is a totally different medium Maß’ woodblock prints rival with the paintings in oil by her colleagues. The use of light, shade and colour by Maß are very reminiscent of the paintings and style of Max Uth (1863-1914) (above) maybe there’s an unknown connection somewhere. I’ll do a posting on this charming painter soon. I just couldn’t resist creating a posting with this theme because I couldn’t find anything similar, discovering many new to me painters: very rewarding indeed. The great Max Liebermann (1847-1935) enjoyed the charms of the Biergarten very much, sketches, etchings and great paintings, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and visiting Leiden in the Netherlands. Capturing the filtered light and always the easy summer atmosphere. Painter printmaker Daniël Staschus. What better place to be the in a traditional German Beergarden. After a Sunday stroll along iconic avenues or in one of the many parks enjoying a cool beer or lemonade in the shade of age-old trees. My favorite: Hans Hartig (1873-1936) Richard Bloos (1878-1956) Seeing and being seen. Nothing much has changed in 100 years, but imagine the magic of beautiful cities like Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris and London without omni present motor vehicles and planes overhead but the pleasant noises of horse and carts, civilized conversation and laughter around you. Georg Jauss (1867-1922) and Fritz von Uhde ((1848-1911) There are and were many famous beer gardens (guesthouse, brasserie) in Berlin, around the Tiergarten, the famous central park with it’s equally famous Zoo and of course the Prater Biergarten and I cannot imagine this particular charming scene chosen so often but by the Berlin (post-)impressionist artists. Fritz Gartz (1863-1960) Max Stern (1872-1943) Otto Eduard Pippel (1878-1960) One more posting on Hélène Maß, her great times and her circle to go. For those who think they’ve had enough: I believe one is obliged finishing what was begun although I’m anxious to show some great new discoveries, new forgotten printmakers and some great prints soonest.

Artist Marina Amaral, 21, from Brazil, has brought defining moments in history to life by 'colourising' old black and white photos.

I like to think of myself as rather familiar with the archives at the Library of Congress, but somehow I skipped over this album of 1,600+ colour slides from the 1930s and 40s, a time in history we’re so used to seeing only in black & white. These photographs are so vivid, they feel as…
