Maison de Monet
Giverny News
Monet's house in Giverny with many nice tidbits, visually as well as in narration especially if you are already somewhat familiar with his work:)
Camille Claudel
 
From the page: "Camille Claudel's work has rarely been exhibited since her death in 1943. She enjoyed a short but influential career and in many respects was perhaps the most pivotal female sculptor of the last several decades. Her elegant works transcend time and remain as moving and significant today as they were over 100 years ago....."
 
Aloke Kumar has a thorough, detailed account of her life which is heartbreaking and moving. Aloke does a remarkable presentation for all the great people he features in his blogazine and Camille Claudel was no exception. He kindly dedicated it to me which touched me, as I have always been moved by her talent tinged by a tragic and isolated life. You may find it HERE.
THE WORLD AS I SEE IT By ALBERT EINSTEIN
An excerpt below, you may click the title to read it in it's entirety.
From the page:
"I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts -- possessions, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible."
Martin Luther King Jr.
Research and Education Institute
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, January 15.
I still think the "I have a dream..." speech delivered in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. is one of his finest moments not only in the delivery of the speech but of course he content as well as the ability to mobilize all those people to get there. It is one of the most moving sights I have ever seen.
