A PR specialist told me last week."Do you want to become famous? Find the best photographer in the world & hire him!" He was absolutely crazy!! You have to be a tycoon to hire Patrick Demarchelier!
Demarchelier is one of the world's most coveted photographers.
If
you are lucky enough to be a London resident, or you 'll be in the capital of England someday until
the September 7th, I suggest you do not miss the once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to see a landmark exhibition.
It 's the Henri Matisse: The Cuts-Outs in Tate London.
As recorded by The Spectator,"A sense of joyous celebration almost unmatched in the history of art. Unmissable!"
Indeed,this impressively-shown modern collection of around 120 treasured from private galleries all over the world manifest the extraordinary character
and talent of its brilliant creator French man Henri Matisse. Truly regarded as the father of modern art at the dawn of the 20th century, along
with Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp, Matisse defined the revolutionary
developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the twentieth
century, and he is responsible for significant developments in painting
and sculpture of french art.
I know that most people ignore modern art as complex and
incomprehensible. I could never blame them for that. However, walking into Matisse’s world of Cut-Outs,
one is fascinated by the mastery of the expressive language of colour
and drawing in Matisse 's paintings. As he follows the style of
fauvisme, he expresses emotion with wild, often dissonant colours,
without regard for the subject's natural colours. The cut-outs
represent through an arbitrary motif of shape and colour a compositional
aspect which combines
many modes of relaying information; a collage of string, painted gouache
and more, the pieces are thought of and thought out again and again,
contradictorily quixotically as well as carefully, suggesting a
completeness for their minimalist approach.
Even when a composition appears as
finished the beauty is that, segments can be taken away or given at will to the figures
within, so that, if he were not satisfied fully, their shape could be
altered on the fly.
Passing through, one may be reminded of their childhood days, cutting
snowflakes into or out of the pure white page as the use of negatives,
or negative space, blossoms into a new creative tangent: it often was
not just a procedure of cutting shapes out of the paper to stick
together, but also of cutting in to the paper, to mould the block
of colour by taking away, as one might expect of a sculptor. It is from
this that the idea of ‘carving into colour’ had been taken, and shows
Matisse’s ability to adapt and realise the alternatives that become
present with such a for.
It is also evident Matisse's desire to surround himself with the things that fascinated him, such
as marine life, that led to the conception of entirely new and distinct
projects which, as before, bloomed from the pages left on his floor.
From snowflowers to dancers, circus scenes and a famous snail, the
exhibition showcases a dazzling array of 120 works made between 1936 and
1954. Bold, exuberant and often large in scale, the cut-outs have an
engaging simplicity coupled with incredible creative sophistication. Admired from a distance, it becomes impossible to know which relies on
what or whether what you see encompasses the back or the foreground: the
‘in’ or ‘out’.
So enjoy the vibrant colours
together with the the cut-out method, that illustrate perfectly Matisse's radiating energy, when taking to task with his artwork. Firstly watch the video & then take a glance at the artworks.
A feast of dazzling dreams !!

As the summer has just began, give up on wearing black or dark colours and light up your mood with bold combinations of vivid colours. I am really amazed by the new Christian Louboutin Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Sling heels.heels. If you can afford them, buy them for 645 euros, or otherwise, just get inspired by the high end colourblocking: fuchsia-orange & purple. I try on orange pants combined with fuchsia sandals for eccentric looks. So go ahead and give the color wheel a spin—from juicy citrus tones to cool seaside shades, and from bold emerald green to vibrant fuchsia pink there’s something for everyone.
It gives me great pleasure and
honor to warmly welcome you all to my brand new initiative. They say the first
lines are always hardly born. I cannot agree more.
I have been thinking of weeks
of what to start. Frankly speaking, I did not want to create another one ordinary blog and I could say I owe the launching of this site to many of
my friends who for a long time have been encouraging me to create a unique page
dedicated to a variety of matters, all of them offering optimism, self-confidence and demonstrating the bright side of life. This does not necessarily means wealth, luxury
or branding, but rather stunning simplicity, good health, ravishing
personality, cool attitude, inspirational ideas and sui generis experiences as well. I could say that French people call it ''allure''.
I will share with you aspects
of this in The Visual Confidence, soon it will turn into a website.
We will see together upscale and highly intricate creations, catwalk editorials, intriguing shoots & ads,
enticing seasonal food, spontaneous simplicity, readings worth reading and
writing about, iconoclastic perspectives as well, all in a good quality press blog. The
pages will be all filled with an explosion of contemporary & vintage
resources from the crème de la crème of the
media globally.
During this journey I really need
your experiences and support too..
So are you ready ? We have just begun -Welcome! ! !
