„The Grand Design: Oxygen as a Cosmic Regulator” prezintă o perspectivă care provoacă gândirea asupra oxigenului, nu doar ca element de susținere a vieții, ci ca o forță cosmică integrată meticulos în structura vieții de către o inteligență avansată. Această inteligență, eventual o entitate divină sau o civilizație avansată, folosește oxigenul ca regulator natural al ciclului, asigurând armonia ecologică și prevenind suprapopularea. Rolul oxigenului în promovarea stresului oxidativ este văzut ca un mecanism deliberat de a conduce evoluția, împingând speciile către o complexitate mai mare. Se presupune că înțelegerea și gestionarea efectelor oxigenului ar putea fi un reper pentru progresul civilizației, indicând disponibilitatea pentru cunoștințe superioare. La nivel spiritual, proprietățile de limitare a vieții ale oxigenului pot contribui la o înțelegere mai profundă a impermanenței vieții și a evoluției spirituale. Acest design grandios ar putea face parte dintr-un cadru universal mai larg, în care diferitelor forme de viață li se oferă condiții variate, fiecare cu avantaje și limitări unice, într-un vast experiment de viață.

Erté (Romain de Tirtoff) 1892-1990 | Russian-French Décors, Phèdre by Erté Ensemble of three Signed “Erté” (lower right) Gouache on paper Erté crafted these three magnificent set designs for a 1960 performance of Jean Racine's 1677 masterpiece Phèdre. The play explores themes of forbidden love as Phèdre's affections for her stepson, Hippolytus, lead to heartbreak and tragedy. She confesses her affections, but in light of a misinformed Theseus's return, she falsely accuses Hippolytus of seduction resulting in his cursed fate and eventual death. The aftermath sees a devastated Phèdre ending her life in guilt. To echo the tragic intrigue of the famed play, Erté's designs spotlight a grand hall, dominated by a monumental caryatid framed by red pillars. The fusion of classic architecture and Erté's Art Deco style exudes enchantment befitting the drama of the production. Paris in the Art Deco era stood at the crossroads of tradition and modernity, establishing itself as a global epicenter of art, literature and intellectual thought. Amidst the echoes of World War I, avant-garde movements like Surrealism and Cubism intermingled with jazz melodies wafting through the city’s smoky salons. As cocktails flowed, intellectuals, writers and artists from around the world found themselves drawn to the cosmopolitan allure of Paris. Erté, with his revolutionary costuming and otherworldly sets, was perfectly poised to unleash his creativity. He worked with many of the the city’s premier entertainment venues, and his striking visuals, full of bold patterns and vibrant colors, came to define the modernity of the era. Russian-French visionary Romain de Tirtoff (1892-1990), popularly known as Erté, began his artistic journey in the culturally rich city of St. Petersburg, where he developed an early fondness for ballet and theatrical performances. He moved to Paris in 1912 to study architecture, and quickly found his creative niche in crafting fantastical costumes for the city’s bustling nightlife. Erté‘s expertise, refined under the guidance of the famed Paul Poiret, captured the attention of Harper’s Bazaar, marking the beginning of a significant partnership that spanned from 1915 to 1936. The artist also designed sets for notable cinematic masterpieces including Ben Hur and La Bohème, and created sets and costumes for cabarets, operas and other performances at the Folies-Bergères, Bal Tabarin, the Théâtre du Bataclan and Le Casino de Paris. Often remembered as the “Father of Art Deco,” Erté was a trailblazer whose colorful creations shaped the groundbreaking Art Deco era more than any other, leaving an indelible mark on the history of art and design. His artworks reside in prestigious museum collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
