Edward G. Robinson, the Art Collector By Raquel Stecher
âI was hooked on artâan addict. The only thing real in the world seemed to be catalogs from dealers, galleries and museums.â - Edward G. Robinson
Edward G. Robinson, the cigar chomping star of such crime dramas as LITTLE CAESAR (â31), BULLETS OR BALLOTS (â36), KID GALAHAD (â37) and KEY LARGO (â48), was a gangster on screen but a refined art collector off screen. What began as a childhood fascination eventually blossomed into a full blown obsession. Robinson often joked that, âyou donât collect paintings, they collect you.â Over the years, Robinson collected over 70 works of art, mostly impressionist and post-impressionist paintings. Art was a lifelong passion of his, one he couldnât just keep to himself but would share with anyone who would listen.
As a child, Robinson would cut pictures of paintings from magazines and add them to his scrapbooks. According to Robinson biographer Alan L. Gansberg, âhe would find his way to museums and art galleries, look around, then head back to the Astor Library to discover, in books, what he had seen and why it was renowned.â Robinsonâs love extended beyond just collecting, and he developed a pure love of curation. He wasnât interested in status. And art dealers soon discovered that he couldnât be swayed by suggestion or opinion. Robinsonâs method of selecting his next acquisition was from pure instinct. If the piece spoke to him, he bought it. If it came with an intriguing backstory, even better.
In his autobiography All My Yesterdays, Robinson shares with readers his many art collecting adventures. He started off by purchasing reproductions which he would lovingly frame and hang on the wall or give to friends. His first real purchase was an oil painting entitled âCow in the Meadowâ which he bought for $2 at auction. Since he earned more money working in theatre and in Hollywood, Robinson caught the art buying bug. Heâd visit public galleries and private collections in New York City, London and Paris. Robinson became known among art dealers, who would let him take home a painting for a month before purchasing.
Robinson celebrated big milestones in his life with new art. In his memoir he wrote, âto mark suitably the birth of my son, I bought a good-sized Degas of two dancers and a lovely Pissarro â oh, such a lovely Pissarro â for $2,500 and a Monet painting of some willows for another $2,500.â Robinson fell in love with the work of Georges Rouault, Pablo Picasso, Titian, Francisco Goya, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gaugin and others. He thought Rembrandt was overrated.
Notable pieces in Robinsonâs collection included:
âDaughters of Revolutionâ by Grant Wood
âThe Black Marble Clockâ by Paul Cezanne
âPortrait of PĂšre Tanguyâ by Vincent van Gogh
âYoung Girl with a Hatâ by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
âThe Artistâs Motherâ by Edouard Vuillard
âLâItalienneâ by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot
âFigure of a Woman (Before the Theater)â by Berthe Morisot
âJane Avril Dancingââ by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
âView of Le Crotoy, from Upstreamâ by Georges Seurat
âThe Vase of Flowersâ by Georges Rouault
Over the years, Robinson worked directly with artists. In 1939, he commissioned a painting of himself, his wife Gladys and his son Eddie by Edouard Vuillard. After filming CONFESSIONS OF A NAZI SPY (â39), he took Gladys on a trip to Mexico where he met with Diego Rivera and bought several pieces. It was there that he met Frida Kahlo, who was not yet known in the states, and purchased four of her paintings for $200 each. According to artsy.net, âRobinsonâs purchases were Kahloâs first major sales, her first to an American, and gave her some financial independence.â
It wasnât enough for Robinson to keep these pieces to himself. He felt that others should enjoy them too. When he bought a house in Beverly Hills, he petitioned the City Council for permission to build an adjoining gallery on the property. Once complete, he filled it with his prized possessions and opened the gallery to the public by hosting guided tours. Whenever a tour guide failed to show up, Robinson, his wife and even his butler would fill in. Robinson also exhibited his pieces elsewhere including collaborating with friend and fellow art collector Vincent Price on a museum show. In 1953, he loaned out 40 of his paintings for an exhibition at MoMA. The proceeds went to the museumâs New York City School Fund.
Robinsonâs collection would diminish drastically when he had to sell 60 paintings as part of a divorce settlement. An auction was planned until Stavros Niarchos, a wealthy Greek shipping magnate, stepped in and bought the whole kit and caboodle privately for $3.5 million. It pained Robinson to lose so many of his darlings all at once. He eventually bought 14 of those pieces back from Niarchos and from other private collectors who purchased them after the original sale. Robinson was able to buy back some of his favorites from Cezanne, Renoir, Seurat, van Gogh and Gaugin. When Robinson remarried in 1958, he and his new bride Jane Robinson (nee Bodenheimer), a fashion designer who went by the name Jane Arden professionally, set out to build the collection back up again. A couple of years after Robinson passed away, Jane published a coffee table book called Edward G. Robinsonâs World of Art as a way to pay tribute to Robinsonâs lifelong passion.

ILLUSION - SURREALISM
Analyse creative manipulation images.
1. Zdzislaw Beksinski
The canvas, known as "Creeping Death", evokes a lot of emotions and remains relevant all the time. The leitmotif is death, which creeps silently like a spider. This is how he appeared in the eyes of the painter - death comes unexpectedly and destroys everything on its way.
BeksiĆski's paintings were about loneliness and the inevitability of death. The painter also often presented a vision of Armageddon. This is also the case of "Creeping Death". The end of the world appears in dark, brown and bloody colors. And death takes its toll and disappears unnoticed from the battlefield. The city burning in the background means that death has won again. Nobody survived. Death can take many shapes, it can resemble a human, an animal or a spider. In the painting by ZdzisĆaw BeksiĆski, he is a terrifying creature that leaves the ruined area on its cramped limbs. Instead of the face, you can see a bandage through which a blood stain pierces. Instead of a torso, there is a hairy abdomen, similar to that of deadly spiders, and they will always flee from impending danger. Just like death, which also has time to hide from fire.
BeksiĆski's painting is one of the most terrifying contemporary works of Polish painting. Suffering, anger and resignation permeate them. The artist knows that he is unable to change his fate. He only has pain and the awareness that death will come for him. "Creeping Death" can be a universal picture, presenting the world after war, apocalypse or catastrophe. They can also be the darkest thoughts of every human being that circulate through the mind looking for an outlet. Because everyone is struggling with their own demons, which may appear completely different. It is certain that they cause fear, but they are essential in the fight against the suffering that is part of human life.
2. SALVADOR DALI
There are four clocks in the picture. One hangs from a dry tree, the other, with a blue shield and golden edging, flows down from a brown plinth. There is a fly on it, which can symbolize the "flying" and passing time. The orange watch lying next to it seems to be less soft and melting than the others. Ants crawled over him. The orange clock looks like it's about to be eaten by insects. Ants are here a symbol of rotting, decay. The fourth clock is in the center of the painting. It flows down from a deformed, beige-colored form. Only after looking closely you can see something like a nose, eyelid, long eyelashes. The distorted form resembles skin pulled from the face. According to some, it is a self-portrait of Salvador himself.
"Soft clocks" is nothing but a delicate, extravagant and lonely, paranoid-critical camembert of time and space.ââ Salvador Dali
Persistence of memory is perhaps one of the artist's most recognizable works. It was established in 1931. The idea was born when Dali, eating a melting French Camembert cheese, saw clock faces in it.
Dali created works that were supposed to amaze or shock. He did not represent anything directly, but through a vision. Therefore, he is included in the group of surrealists. Obraz Persistence of memory is a dream about time deformed by memories and dreams. Gala - Dali's muse and wife - said about this painting that the viewer's memory would only be the "softness" of the watches, because anyone who saw this work at least once would never forget it. The rocks of Cape Creus are an element of the landscape that appears in many of Dali's works. They have become an example of "hard" forms. The artist, who has a well-prepared drawing and knows the perspective, creates in a surprising way. An example is theoretically correctly painted clocks, but why is one of them hung over a branch, and the other running off the counter? It was this astonishment that the artist wanted to combine various objects in any way. The elements of the painting are arranged on the canvas in such a way that we have the impression of a large space and emptiness. Thanks to vivid imagination, all details have been divided into soft and hard. Clocks are among the soft ones.
3.  RENà MAGRITTE
With my popular sympathy for the Belgian painter René Magritte, I have allowed myself to be introduced to you by opening the whole series "Art for Tuesday" with his "Lovers". Together with the blog returning to the expanses of the Internet, let Magritte be the patron of the reactivation of this cycle, this time with her "Son of Man".
The very title "Son of Man" (French: "Le fils de l'homme") is a bit puzzling when confronted with this picture presents itself.
After all, we see an elegant man in a suit and a bowler hat against the background of the wall separating him from the sea, above him there are clouds that announce a storm or storm. And what is very important - it is a self-portrait.
Oh yes, I would ... Before the face of forgotten people (levitating?) A green apple that makes his face invisible, revealing part of the eye and eyebrow in fact. We have to remind ourselves that the Belgian was definitely a surrealist who grew out of the impressionist school. However, he used his symbolic linguistic voice, which was shaped by such tragic experiences as the mother's suicide - hence the motive of the shroud. The motif of a veiled face, or the lack of it, is constantly present in Magritte's painting. Maybe it allows you to stay safe? For both the "covered" and those looking at him? Or maybe these masks and covers allow for proper perception of things (I refer to the author's painting "Rape")?
As for the "Son of Man", a stretched (as always), original interpretation appeared in my head.
The apple ripens with its apple tree represented by the man. He is well dressed, which can mean high social status. Or maybe an apple covering a man's face makes him anonymous? is it just a tree from which society grows? And when he dies, will someone eat the forbidden fruit that he has grown, and will continue this process? Another "Son of Man" ..?
4. Max Ernst
"Day and Night" is a work that Max Ernst painted in the years 1941-1942. It presents a gloomy rocky landscape in dark colors. The image of the night is dominant here - the dark blue sky and the outlines of boulders. On the dark background, however, there are traces of the day, resembling daytime photographs of the same space. In these pictures these places appear completely different - they are sunny and full of bright colors. They do not resemble a barren night landscape.
Ernst's work follows surrealist poetics. Its meaning becomes understandable above all in the historical context in which it was created. It is about the tragedy of World War II, which left its mark on the artist's own biography. He miraculously managed to escape from the hands of the Gestapo and emigrate from France to the United States.
The night landscape is a barren land devoid of color and optimism. One gets the impression that we are dealing with a world completely destroyed by some cataclysm. His memories are only optimistic photographs from the past, which show the old face of the landscape. These optimistic incrustations in combination with the dominant gray and sterility not only do not cheer up the whole, but make it even more repulsive. We are dealing here with a world that will never return to its former glory.
The colorful pictures bring to mind illustrations from children's books. Thus, the artist refers to the myth of childhood as a lost paradise. Children's dreams are triggered here, in which reality seems to be a magical and wonderful being. At the same time, the juxtaposition of colored fragments with a gloomy background is also associated with the biblical Eden, where innocence and beauty are destroyed by sin and evil.
You can also understand "Night and Day" as a kind of puzzle. The picture resembles a puzzle that needs to be matched in an appropriate way so that they form a whole together. In this sense, one should see in Ernst's work traces of hope for rebuilding what was destroyed during the war. It is, in a way, a proposal to organize the world once again so that it becomes a place where a person feels safe again.
5. Pablo Picasso
"Guernica" is a famous painting by Pablo Picasso, painted in 1937 in reaction to the Spanish Civil War. The work is an act of protest against violence and at the same time a great manifestation of pacifism.
The title of the painting comes from the name of a Spanish city bombed by the German Luftwaffe air force in response to resistance to General Franco's group.
"Guernica" shows deformed human and animal figures, forming a chaotic swirl. You can see the bodies in pieces, especially the heads and limbs. The severed hands tighten tightly on the objects they hold: a candle or a sword. The mouths of the characters are usually open in a silent scream, and terror is visible in their eyes. People seem to squirm in deathly groans. Human figures blend with animals.
The whole thing looks like a huge, dynamic swirl. The depressing impression is deepened by the colors of the painting, in shades of black and gray. The central part of the painting is lit by a light bulb in the upper edge of the work. It seems that the situation depicted in the picture takes place in a narrow room, intensifying the impression of being surrounded and threatened.
The painting was painted in cubist aesthetics, which in the case of such a dramatic topic emphasizes the cruelty and tragedy of war. The fragmentation of the solid is here not only an act of artistic deformation, but also emphasizes the essence of any armed conflict, which is the total destruction of the world.
The war appears on Picasso's canvas as unbridled chaos and suffering. People dehumanize, they are reduced to the level of terrified animals, driven by the survival instinct. Human remains are clearly deformed, they resemble meat. Human and animal bodies are fragmented as if after a bomb had exploded.
The symbol of destruction is the Spanish bull emerging from the gloom, which covers the unfolding events with an unshakable gaze. Broken hands clutch at useless objects, among which stand out a candle and a broken sword. The former may symbolize the desire to illuminate the escape route, but it is also a sign of mourning for those who died. A broken sword and a torn horse indicate the uselessness of conventional weapons in a modern war that brings mass death and destruction.
Picasso's painting exudes an atmosphere of fear and terror, the image of a mother lamenting over a child's corpse is particularly poignant. The claustrophobic narrowness of the room in which the characters find themselves emphasizes the non-exit character of their situation.

MARDI 8 DECEMBRE 2020 â (Billet 1 / 3)
Le 15 dĂ©cembre, si tout va bien (mais aux Infos dâhier, câĂ©tait pas gagnĂ©Â !), le Club Med ouvre 10 Villages. Si 9 sont situĂ©s Ă lâautre bout du monde, plus prĂšs de nous, dans le lot, IL Y A MARRAKECH !!!
Et, comme par hasard, beaucoup dâarticles sont publiĂ©s sur le Net, Ă la fois sur le Club Med de Marrakech (« La Palmeraie ») mais aussi, et surtout, sur Marrakech.
Un grand nombre dâentre eux concernent la rĂ©-ouverture de La Mamounia. Voir la petite vidĂ©o ci-dessus (1min. 21) et lire lâarticle que nous avons reproduit ci-dessous, accompagnĂ© de quelques photos.
Si certains pouvaient nous « reprocher » le cĂŽtĂ© un peu trop « publicitaire » de nos compliments sur le Club Med, ils pourront rajouter ceux quâon a faits, faisons et ferons sur cette ville MAGIQUE quâest Marrakech. Nous assumons tout !
Alors, il nâest pas dit quâentre la fin du mois de janvier et la premiĂšre quinzaine de fĂ©vrier nous nâallions pas passer une petite semaine lĂ -bas. Cette fois-ci, lors dâune de nos sorties, nous dĂ©laisserons le Royal Mansour (quâon aime beaucoup aussi) pour La Mamounia et y dĂ©guster, en buvant un verre de thĂ© Ă la menthe, une crĂ©ation exclusive de lâhĂŽtel : la « Corne de Gazelle made by Pierre Hermé ».
Enfin, pour finir, un dernier point (dĂ©couvert dans un article) : La Mamounia est le seul Palace au monde dont le genre est fĂ©minin. Nous trouvons que cela mĂ©ritait dâĂȘtre signalĂ©.
____________________________
« 5 RAISONS DE RETOURNER A LA MAMOUNIA, le plus beau palace de Marrakech » (article publié le 18 novembre 2020 dans la revue « AD Magazine »)
AprĂšs plusieurs mois de travaux, la grande dame de Marrakech a fait peau neuve sous lâimpulsion du duo de designers « Jouin Manku ». Immersion au cĆur de La Mamounia, « LE » palais lĂ©gendaire de la ville ocre oĂč il fera bon poser ses valises Ă la fin du confinementâŠ
Ă lâorigine des rĂ©novations de La Mamounia, Patrick Jouin et Sanjit Manku â duo crĂ©atif de lâagence de design dâespace « Jouin Manku » â, confient que ce projet a Ă©tĂ© « un cadeau ». En relevant le dĂ©fi dâapporter une nouvelle Ă©nergie au Palace, les designers ont respectĂ© le charme et lâhistoire des lieux. Avec dĂ©licatesse, ils ont compris et enrichi lâartisanat marocain de savoir-faire locaux, italiens, français et espagnols.
De la nouvelle allĂ©e Majorelle crĂ©Ă©e dans les jardins jusquâau lobby en passant par les restaurants de lâhĂŽtel, le tandem a repoussĂ© les limites de la crĂ©ation prĂ©cieuse. Au restaurant asiatique par exemple, « Jouin Manku » a imaginĂ© un dĂ©cor typiquement marocain mĂȘlant fauteuils en laque noire, murs tendus de tissu et lanternes traditionnelles dessinĂ©es sur mesure.
Câest le chef triplement Ă©toilĂ©, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, qui dirige le nouveau restaurant asiatique (sâinspirant de la gastronomie thaĂŻlandaise et des saveurs pimentĂ©es, le chef y travaille les citrus, les poissons locaux comme le Saint-Pierre ou le bar mais aussi les sushis et les sashimis frais)⊠et le restaurant italien, une trattoria de luxe prĂ©sentant le meilleur de la Botte, des spĂ©cialitĂ©s italiennes allĂ©chantes et une terrasse arborĂ©e avec vue sur la piscine, en retrait, et les jardins merveilleux du palace â un Ă©crin enchanteur garni d'oliviers centenaires et de milliers de rosiers.
SurnommĂ© par le directeur de La Mamounia le « Picasso de la pĂątisserie », Pierre HermĂ© devient le directeur artistique et culinaire du salon de thĂ©. Avec ses allures de Riad, le salon de thĂ© mĂȘle assises en cuir tressĂ©, murs tendus de tissus aux accents bleutĂ©s et vitraux, le point dâorgue de lâespace Ă©tant le lustre grandiose dessinĂ© par « Jouin Manku ». Ă la carte, des assiettes salĂ©es comme le pain perdu au curry et au curcuma ou le lobster roll, mais aussi une corne de Gazelle crĂ©Ă©e pour La Mamounia, dont le croustillant amlou (une prĂ©paration culinaire berbĂšre) rencontre une belle pïżœïżœte dâamande Ă la fleur dâoranger et une crĂšme Ă lâamande grillĂ©e.
Et pour la premiĂšre fois, La Mamounia propose aux clients de lâhĂŽtel la possibilitĂ© de visionner des films installĂ©s dans un salon-cinĂ©ma â une occasion par exemple de revoir « Lâhomme qui en savait trop » que Hitchcock a tournĂ© dans ces lieux. PensĂ© comme un espace feutrĂ© et intimiste, on y accĂšde en passant par le bar Churchill, repaire par excellence des habituĂ©s, entiĂšrement redĂ©corĂ© par « Jouin Manku » lui aussi.

La tĂȘte au carrĂ©
Comme tous les matins, je me suis levĂ© en grognant, encerclĂ© dâune brume qui mâempĂȘchait dâouvrir les yeux. Je dĂ©teste me rĂ©veiller mais surtout quitter le lit. Je nâai pas fait attention en passant devant le miroir, ou alors, câest arrivĂ© un peu aprĂšs. Câest pendant que lâeau du thĂ© Ă©tait en train de bouillir et mon envie de pipi, en sortant des toilettes que jâaperçus mon reflet et fus terrifiĂ© en dĂ©couvrant que ma tĂȘte avait changĂ©. Je regardai la chose en forme de plusieurs cubes qui la remplaçait. Dessus je cherchai mes yeux, ma bouche, mon nez ainsi que me oreilles. Seulement, je nâarrivai pas Ă les trouver, tĂątant du mieux possible en vain ces carrĂ©s difformes aux couleurs agressives. Je sentis la panique monter en flĂšche ; jâĂ©tais perdu ne comprenant quel terrible sort mâa Ă©tĂ© jetĂ©. Accroupis, je touchai des doigts mon visage qui pourtant semblait visible de mes yeux, dâailleurs, en louchant, je pouvais voir mon nez. Je me levai de nouveau pour regarder mon portrait dans le miroir. Il avait bien Ă©tĂ© censurĂ© transformĂ© en une espĂšce de multiples carrĂ©s. Je fus dĂ©goutĂ©. En mâĂ©loignant, je me sentis rassurĂ© de voir le reste de mon corps entier dans la glace. Mes mains, mes Ă©paules gardaient leur aspect dâorigine. Je ne remarquai pas la sonnerie du  tĂ©lĂ©phone ni celle de la bouilloire. JâĂ©tais vraiment perdu.
Dans la salle de bain,  je rinçai mon visage avant de revoir cette horreur dans la glace au-dessus du lavabo. Je ne comprenais pas comment je pouvais sentir, respirer ou parler sans ĂȘtre gĂȘnĂ©. Jâavais beau passer mes doigts sur chaque partie de ma tĂȘte, je ne trouvais rien de mes orifices naturels. De mĂȘme, mon reflet ne prĂ©sentait aucune diffĂ©rence dĂšs que je commençais Ă mâexprimer ou souriais. Je ne vis pas non plus ma dentition. Cela me fit douter du reste. Je pus toutefois manger un morceau de pain. Je vis alors la mie entrer dans le plus grand des carrĂ©s placĂ© au centre qui resta toujours immobile pendant la mastication. Je regardai encore ma tĂȘte qui avait lâair dâun Picasso quand la porte dâentrĂ©e sâouvrit avec fracas.
Bien quâelle nâhabitĂąt pas avec moi, mon amie avait la clĂ© de la maison. Elle commença Ă mâappeler dâune voix paniquĂ©e, elle bafouillait expliquant quâil lui est arrivĂ© quelque-chose dâhorrible. Je descendis en demandant si câest plus horrible que pour moi. Elle tourna de lâĆil sâĂ©croulant sur le sol comme un chĂąteau de carte. AprĂšs quelques secondes, elle reprit ses esprits. Je racontai ma version, elle demeura silencieuse, impressionnĂ©e par le brutal changement  de mon visage. Elle avoua ne pas savoir comment me regarder. Puis, elle expliqua la raison de sa venue commençant Ă se dĂ©shabiller. « Câest diffĂ©rent mais presque pareil. Jâai dĂ©couvert ça en prenant ma douche » dit-elle. En effet, sur sa poitrine ainsi que son pubis, une forme opaque Ă©tait venue se coller dĂ©formant ses parties intimes. Je ne vis rien de ses seins cachĂ©s ni de son pubis, rappelant le floutage de Canal+ des annĂ©es quatre-vingt. CâĂ©tait absurde. Comme moi, elle affirma quâelle pouvait voir les zones censurĂ©s sans problĂšme mais ne ressentait rien quand elle y touchait. Jâapprochai et sans prĂ©venir, je serrai son sein gauche, jouant lĂ©gĂšrement Ă le presser et pincer le tĂ©ton. Elle me regarda avec ses grands yeux bleus Ă©carquillĂ©s. « Non, rien ! » dit-elle en soupirant de dĂ©pit. Puis, elle prit ma main et frotta son sexe, je vis mes doigts entrer dans ce rectangle nĂ©buleux. Je pus enfoncer un doigt, reconnaissant au toucher la fente dĂ©limitĂ© par ses lĂšvres roses. Elle me regarda avec un air triste et dĂ©sabusĂ©e. « Je suis dĂ©solĂ©e, mais je ne ressens vraiment rien. » Cette sensation fit perler une larme sur  sa joue rouge de colĂšre.
Je retournai dans la cuisine et lui proposai de trouver une explication sur internet tout en prenant le petit-dĂ©jeuner. Elle sâassit et commença Ă scruter son smartphone pendant que je prĂ©parai la table. Puis, je rĂ©cupĂ©rai mon ordinateur. Dâhabitude, je dĂ©teste manger Ă cĂŽtĂ©, seulement nous Ă©tions dans un cas de force majeur. Je ne trouvai rien visitant diffĂ©rents moteurs de recherche. Ma copine sâĂ©nervait Ă ne rien trouver. Son pied tapait sur le sol sur un rythme rapide et agressif. Elle marmonnait rĂ©guliĂšrement se sentant envahie par lâexaspĂ©ration et lâimpuissance. Quant Ă moi, jâessayai de la rassurer par des mots doux et  simples. Je remarquai toutefois, quâelle Ă©vitait mon regard. En fait, je ne rĂ©alisai pas que je nâen avais plus.
Au bout dâune petite heure et une centaine de lectures inutiles, je trouvai enfin un site expliquant le syndrome dont nous Ă©tions atteints. Je nây croyais pas. CâĂ©tait un site dĂ©bile sur des thĂ©ories du complot. DâaprĂšs lâauteur du reportage, nos webcams auraient scannĂ© nos rĂ©tines et permis aux diffuseurs internet de censurer des visages rĂ©els grĂące Ă une nouvelle technologie qui touche le subconscient. Grace aux scans, ils pouvaient entrer dans notre mĂ©moire pour la dĂ©former ou bloquer certaines parties. Ainsi nous devenions des objets, des photos et non plus des ĂȘtres humains Ă part entiĂšre. Je nây croyais pas, mais mon amie lit un article trĂšs rĂ©cent parlant de personnes censurĂ©es. Nous allumĂąmes  la tĂ©lĂ©vision dĂ©couvrant ainsi que nous nâĂ©tions pas les seuls atteints. Des hommes, des femmes marchaient dans la rue avec le visage floutĂ© ou remplacĂ©s par des carrĂ©s. Lâun dâeux sâexprima en direct, hurlant au scandale dâavoir Ă©tĂ© ainsi censurĂ©. Puis le reporter dont le visage avait aussi changĂ© annonça que cette pratique Ă©tait digne des plus grandes dictatures. Je ne partis pas travailler, nous restĂąmes toute la journĂ©e Ă Ă©couter les informations en boucle, les mĂ©dias relayaient dĂ©bats sur dĂ©bats. Les personnes touchĂ©es avaient soit postĂ©s des photos ou des images intimes, soit montrĂ©s un intĂ©rĂȘt pour la pornographie. Les puritains applaudissaient voyant en cette censure un signe fort de la morale divine ; les autres, Ă©nervĂ©s, appelaient Ă manifester contre cette Ă©trange interdiction. Toutefois, des propositions furent notifiĂ©es.
Quand ils expliquĂšrent comment se dĂ©barrasser de son floutage, elle me regarda persuadĂ©e que je nâaccepterai pas. Il suffisait simplement de nous marier et dâavoir des enfants. Ainsi, les seins dâune maman nâĂ©taient pas censurĂ©s. Je trouvai le procĂ©dĂ© ignoble et signalai quâil nâen est pas question. Puis, je demandai si elle Ă©pouserait une tĂȘte au carrĂ©. Elle se mit Ă rire en disant : « Certainement pas ! ». Nous continuĂąmes Ă Ă©couter les propos passant aux informations. Certains pays moins dĂ©mocratiques utilisĂšrent ce procĂ©dĂ© pour reconnaitre les pervers et les arrĂȘter. Mais lâopinion publique criait au scandale bien que des lynchages eurent lieu dans des villes occidentales. En fin dâaprĂšs-midi, sans ĂȘtre prĂ©venu, nous retrouvĂąmes notre apparence. Elle regardait avec des yeux pĂ©tillants mon visage. Elle Ă©carta le col de son pull pour regarder sa poitrine et souffla en dĂ©couvrant que le floutage avait aussi disparu. RassurĂ©s, nous pĂ»mes revivre correctement.
AccusĂ©s de faire du zĂšle, les gouvernements se dĂ©fendirent en ordonnant des restrictions dâinternet. De leur cĂŽtĂ©, les grosses entreprises de service technologiques expliquĂšrent cet âincidentâ Ă cause dâun opportun qui voulait dĂ©stabiliser la bonne sociĂ©tĂ©. On pointa le doigt vers la Russie, la CorĂ©e du nord, lâInde ou les Etats-Unis. On dĂ©signa le fauteur de trouble, lâinventeur de ce procĂ©dĂ©, un douteux hacker russe ou japonais Ă la solde des services secrets dâun pays suspectĂ©. Comme dâhabitude, tout le monde nia. Comme dâhabitude, on avait montrĂ© quâon a la plus grosse technologie aux autres nations au dĂ©triment des gens qui ne sont riens comme vous et moi.

We framed this print of âLes Pains de Picassoâ by Robert Doisneau in an ornamental frame with hand carved plumes that echos the âpainsâ or âmainsâ of Picasso. The finish of the frame is a very dark teak, that looks almost black but the tone is more compatible to photographs.Â

Dans un premier temps, câest la dĂ©couverte Ă©merveillĂ©e des charmes de la French Way of Life. Lâexistence simple et paisible, les voisins avenants, lâauthenticitĂ© des choses, le pain merveilleux de Joubert, le boulanger intello de Bailleville. Mais lâexotisme a ses limites. Lâargent manque. Lâennui guette. Charlie se laisse aller. Le joli cottage suinte lâhumiditĂ©. LâauthenticitĂ© se rĂ©vĂšle frelatĂ©e et les voisins moins plaisants que prĂ©vu. Alors, Gemma prend un amant, sous lâĆil inquisiteur de Joubert qui sâimprovise chroniqueur de sa dĂ©chĂ©ance amoureuse. Si le dĂ©cor, le destin et le nom de lâhĂ©roĂŻne nous rappellent quelquâun, ce nâest en aucun cas fortuit.
Un jour au musée avec les Bidochon, de Bidet :
Raymonde Bidochon, par on ne sait quel miracle, est parvenue à traßner son rustre de mari dans un musée! Le choc culturel est total. Comment va réagir Robert en découvrant les toiles de Picasso, Degas, Bacon, Manet, Soulages ou Bruegel, entre autres? C'est ce que vous découvrirez en lisant ce livre. En association avec les musées des Beaux-Arts de Caen et de Lyon, Binet nous régale des réactions des Bidochon face à ces toiles de maßtres, magnifiquement reproduites. 20 tableaux prestigieux, exposés dans ces musées, ont été choisis par l'auteur, qui a ensuite dessiné les réactions de ses personnages. Et leurs conservateurs nous éclairent aussi sur le contexte historique et de maniÚre ludique.
Le Gourmet solitaire, suivi de Les RĂȘveries dâun Gourmet, de JirĂŽ Taniguchi :
On ne sait presque rien de lui. Il travaille dans le commerce, mais ce n'est pas un homme pressé; il aime les femmes, mais préfÚre vivre seul; c'est un gastronome, mais il apprécie par-dessus tout la cuisine simple des quartiers populaires... Cet homme, c'est le gourmet solitaire. Depuis sa premiÚre déambulation en 1994, il a conquis, au fil de deux décennies de flùneries propices à des expériences culinaires précieuses et intimes, un public japonais et occidental toujours grandissant. L'intégralité de ses trente-deux repas est ici réunie pour la premiÚre fois.
Les Gardiens du Louvre, de JirĂŽ Taniguchi :
Au terme d'un voyage collectif en Europe, un dessinateur japonais fait Ă©tape en solitaire Ă Paris, dans l'idĂ©e de visiter les musĂ©es de la capitale. Mais, clouĂ© au lit de sa chambre d'hĂŽtel par une fiĂšvre insidieuse, il se trouve confrontĂ© avant tout Ă une forme de solitude absolue, celle des souffrants en terre Ă©trangĂšre, privĂ©s de tout recours immĂ©diat au cĆur de l'inconnu. Alors que le mal lui laisse quelque rĂ©pit, il met son projet Ă exĂ©cution, et se perd dans les allĂ©es bondĂ©es du Louvre. TrĂšs vite, il va dĂ©couvrir bien des facettes insoupçonnĂ©es de ce musĂ©e-monde, Ă la rencontre dâĆuvres et d'artistes de diverses Ă©poques, au cours d'un pĂ©riple oscillant entre rĂȘve et rĂ©alitĂ©, qui le mĂšnera pour finir Ă la croisĂ©e des chemins entre tragĂ©die collective et histoire personnelle.
Venise, de JirĂŽ Taniguchi :
Un homme arpente Venise hors des sentiers touristiques, sur les traces de son histoire familiale. Il se surprend parfois Ă flĂąner, se perd le long des canaux, s'arrĂȘte pour observer. A mesure que les brumes du passĂ© se dissipent, c'est une nouvelle cartographie de la SĂ©rĂ©nissime qui se dessine: contemplative et intrigante, majestueuse et intimeâŠ
LâHomme qui marche, de JirĂŽ Taniguchi :
Qui prend encore le temps, aujourdâhui, de grimper Ă un arbre, en pleine ville? Dâobserver les oiseaux, ou de jouer dans les flaques dâeau aprĂšs la pluie? Dâaller jusquâĂ la mer pour lui rendre un coquillage dont on ne sait comment il est arrivĂ© chez soi? L homme qui marche, que lâon apprend Ă connaĂźtre Ă travers ses balades, souvent muettes et solitaires, rencontre parfois un autre promeneur avec qui partager, en silence, le bonheur de dĂ©ambuler au hasardâŠ
Furari, de JirĂŽ Taniguchi :
A la fin du XVIIIe siĂšcle, un homme arpente Edo, l'ancienne Tokyo, avec pour ambition de cartographier la capitale, pas aprĂšs pas. Dix sun font un shaku, six shaku font un ken, soixante ken font un chĂŽ, trente-six chĂŽ font un ri. Mais si ce marcheur s'efforce, par rigueur scientifique, d'adopter le pas le plus rĂ©gulier possible, son entreprise se mue bien souvent en flĂąneries Ă©merveillĂ©es face Ă la beautĂ© de la ville, en observation curieuse de ses habitants, en haltes gourmandes le long des rues, et en rĂȘveries qui lui font redĂ©couvrir les paysages Ă travers les yeux d'un oiseau, d'une tortue ou d'un chatâŠ

Surrealism and Animation
The surrealism movement was founded in Paris by some writers and artist who wanted to use peopleâs subconscious minds to unlock their imagination. The movement was strongly influenced by Sigmund Freud.
The surrealists themselves thought that the unconscious mind blocked peopleâs imaginations. By the surrealists basing their ideas on the power of the imagination, this indicated that they were influenced by the traditional Romanticism movement, whose key ideas were based on emotions and intuitions. However, the surrealists were radically different from the romantics because they had the theory that the revelations may be found to be on the streets and in everyday life.
One of the main founders of the Surrealist movement was Andre Breton, when he wrote âLe Manifeste du Surrealismâ, where he famously wrote the definition of surrealism, which is âphysic automatismâ in its pure state, by which one proposes to express â verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner â the actual functioning of thoughtâ.
The Paris surrealists, 1933: Tristan Tzara, Paul Ăluard, AndrĂ© Breton, Hans Arp, Salvador DalĂ, Yves Tanguy, Max Ernst, RenĂ© Crevel and Man Ray.
Fida Kahlo
Her paintings tried to show the attributes of a bad situation.
Mexican culture and Amerindian culture tradition are important in her work, which has been sometimes characterized as naĂŻve art or folk art.
She frequently included the symbolic monkey. In Mexican mythology, monkeys are symbols of lust but Kahlo portrayed them as tender and protective symbols.
In 1938 Andre Breton, principal initiator of the surrealist movement, described Kahloâs art as a âribbon around a combâ.
When painting Christinci, Fridaâs health improved and darkness and gloomy feelings improved. Around this time, Frida called her husband down from the scaffolding to come and see her work. He told her to go home and paint and that he would tell her later what he really thought of it. The following Sunday, he told her that she had talent. She appeared in one of her murals which paid testimony to her developing political awareness. Her mother disapproved of her husband because he was an atheist. Her parents thought it was a marriage between an elephant and a dove.
My dress hangs there, 1933
To Frida the US was âugly, dull and drabâ. She once said to Detroit automobiles â anything mechanical meant bad luck and pain. Another comment she made about life in the USA was in the painting âMy dress hangs thereâ; Fridaâs costume hangs amidst the chaos of the USA and its technology.
Henry Ford Hospital, 1932Â
Her most dramatic miscarriage was in 1932. During 13 days in hospital, she said she wanted to die. The monkeys and parrots often seen in her paintings are substitutes for her children.
Salvador DalĂ
DalĂ is one of the most famous & prolific artist of the twentieth century he is mostly remembered for his paintings, however, during his lengthy career, he also turned to sculpture, printmaking, fashion, advertising, writing, and most famously his work in film-making with Luis Bunuel and Alfred Hitchcock.
youtube
DalĂ tried to convey the themes of sexual desire, death and decay; this is clear throughout his work. He also illustrated his knowledge and understanding of Freudâs psychoanalytical theories of his time. His work reflected his learning experiences and childhood memories. Daliâs work often included already accepted symbolism such as fetishes, animal imagery and religious symbols.
Sueño causado por el vuelo de una abeja alrededor de una granada un segundo antes del despertar, 1944
He also accepted the surrealist AndrĂ© Bretonâs theory of automatism, which is the theory of tapping the unconscious mind. DalĂ referred to this as âcritical paranoia which is where âone could be delusional while maintaining oneâs sanityâ. This was also defined by DalĂ as a form of irrational knowledge. This method is apparent throughout most of his fellow surrealist work and his own surrealist work as well.
During his mature period, he began experimenting with a Cubist style due to his influence from Pablo Picasso, who he met in Paris in 1929. This exhibition explored symbolism and his passion for the sub-conscious.
For the next several years Daliâs paintings illustrated his theories about the psychological state of paranoia and its importance as subject matter. He painted symbolic objects that reflected his sexualised fears of father figures, as well as symbols that referred to his fear over the passing of life. He also claimed that he didnât know the meanings behind the symbols in his paintings. Instead, he claimed that his childhood was his inspiration.
El gran masturbador, 1929
As the politics of war was at the forefront of the Surrealist debate, Breton expelled DalĂ from the surrealist movement in 1934 because of differing views on General Franco and fascism - fun times.
Jan Svankmajer
Many of those familiar with his work regard him as either the most significant movie maker active today or a source of nonsense â an attitudinal contradiction that has greeted and continues to be associated with, all the great artist of surrealism. His work typically uses clay and other types of stop-motion animation, puppetry and live action to create a surreal feel throughout his work, which is extremely entertaining. He takes the unwritten rule of pushing movie making to almost breaking point. He is a cult movie maker whose worldwide âcultâ is larger than the following of many mainstream directors. When Jan Svankmajer creates a new movie it causes great excitement within many different countries. He has won many movie awards, even though it does not follow the commercial Hollywood ideology.
Due to the fall of the Soviet Union, Jan Svankmajer was able to study the surrealists in more detail, especially in the surrealist Luis Bunuel. His first piece of work was as a director and designer in Liberec with the Czech State Puppet Theatre. His first movie experience was as a puppeteer when he was employed by Emil Radok. This work was a major inspiration for Svankmajer version of the Faust legend.
youtube
He married a surrealist painter called Eva Svankmajerova and she has been an inspiration on his work to this day. He left the Magic Lantern Theatre to make his first short film called âThe Last Trickâ. His second short film used mundane objects in a strange juxtaposition style which is strongly associated with the surrealists. This movie started in a very down to earth way where a man unlocks a room, and sits down at an organ and takes a bite on an apple and begins to play. Even here the apparent naturalism is overthrown. Why the organ should be locked away in a seemingly deserted house and why should the organist be initially wearing street clothes over his performance costume.
youtube
In the same year he went to Austria to create a short film called a âGame with Stonesâ. This film consists of an old musical toy that provided the sound accompaniment to a set of animated sequences, where stones drop from a bizarre gadget arranging and rearranging themselves. Even though the pattern does not make sense on its own if you put all the patterns and sequences together it could represent the evolution of human life and the destruction of human life.
Walt Disney Studios
One of the most surreal scenes from Walt Disney was in the film Dumbo with the Pink Elephants, when Dumbo hallucinates when he blows a giant bubble into the air that turns into pink elephants.
youtube
The elephants then duplicate into other elephants by blowing bubbles through their trunks. The trunks transform into snakes attached to the elephants, and then two elephants mirror each other and then explode apart.
The elephantsâ heads are made into a body which starts to walk. The elephantsâ eyes turn into pyramids and an elephant-like camel creature walks through them, and then the camel turns into a cobra and then into a lady. Then the blue and pink elephants go ice skating. Finally, it starts to rain elephants that turn into clouds.
Studio Ghibli
Studio Ghibli uses many common themes and motifs throughout their works, for example, they include female leads which are usually young girls or sweet old ladies. Sometimes these two themes are combined because in âHowls moving castleâ a young female lead is put under a spell by a witch that makes her turn into a sweet old woman. Some of the other themes that Studio Ghibli uses in its works are aviation, trains and characters that take on multiple forms and bird-like creatures.
Throughout their films, the male characters are misunderstood which is unusual because, in the American film industry, it is usually the other way round. One of the things that make Studio Ghibliâs themes are quite exciting is that in almost all of their films the enemy is not clearly defined.

Paul ELUARD â LE VISAGE DE LA PAIX đ
I
Je connais tous les lieux oĂč la colombe loge
Et le plus naturel est la tĂȘte de lâhomme.
II
Lâamour de la justice et de la libertĂ©
A produit un fruit merveilleux
Un fruit qui ne se gĂąte point
Car il a le goût du bonheur.
III
Que la terre produise que la terre fleurisse
Que la chair et le sang vivants
Ne soient jamais sacrifiés.
IV
Que le visage humain connaisse
LâutilitĂ© de la beautĂ©
Sous lâaile de la rĂ©flexion.
V
Pour tous du pain pour tous des roses
Nous avons tous prĂȘtĂ© serment
Nous marchons à pas de géant
Et la route nâest pas si longue.
VI
Nous fuirons le repos nous fuirons le sommeil
Nous prendrons de vitesse lâaube et le printemps
Et nous préparerons des jours et des saisons
Ă la mesure de nos rĂȘves.
VII
La blanche illumination
De croire tout le bien possible.
VIII
Lâhomme en proie Ă la paix se couronne dâespoir.
IX
Lâhomme en proie Ă la paix a toujours un sourire
AprĂšs tous les combats pour qui le lui demande.
X
Feu fertile des grains des mains et des paroles
Un feu de joie sâallume et chaque cĆur a chaud.
XI
Vaincre sâappuie sur la fraternitĂ©.
XII
Grandir est sans limites.
XIII
Chacun sera vainqueur.
XIV
La sagesse pend au plafond
Et son regard tombe du front comme une lampe de cristal.
XV
La lumiĂšre descend lentement sur la terre
Du front le plus ancien elle passe au sourire
Des enfants délivrés de la crainte des chaßnes.
XVI
Dire que si longtemps lâhomme a fait peur Ă lâhomme
Et fait peur aux oiseaux quâil portait dans sa tĂȘte.
XVII
AprÚs avoir lavé son visage au soleil
Lâhomme a besoin de vivre
Besoin de faire vivre et il sâunit dâamour
Sâunit Ă lâavenir.
XVIII
Mon bonheur câest notre bonheur
Mon soleil câest notre soleil
Nous nous partageons la vie
Lâespace et le temps sont Ă tous.
XIX
Lâamour est au travail il est infatigable.
XX
Câest en mil neuf cent dix sept
Et nous gardons lâintelligence
De notre délivrance.
XXI
Nous avons inventé autrui
Comme autrui nous a inventé
Nous avions besoin lâun de lâautre.
XXII
Comme un oiseau volant a confiance en ses ailes
Nous savons oĂč nous mĂšne notre main tendue
Vers notre frĂšre.
XXIII
Nous allons combler lâinnocence
De la force qui si longtemps
Nous a manqué
Nous ne serons jamais plus seuls.
XXIV
Nos chansons appellent la paix
Et nos réponses sont des actes pour la paix.
XXV
Ce nâest pas le naufrage câest notre dĂ©sir
Qui est fatal et câest la paix qui est inĂ©vitable.
XXVI
Lâarchitecture de la paix
Repose sur le monde entier.
XXVII
Ouvre tes ailes beau visage
Impose au monde dâĂȘtre sage
Puisque nous devenons réels.
XXVIII
Nous devenons rĂ©els ensemble par lâeffort
Par notre volonté de dissoudre les ombres
Dans le cours fulgurant dâune clartĂ© nouvelle.
XXIX
La force deviendra de plus en plus légÚre
Nous respirerons mieux nous chanterons plus haut.
Ouvre tes ailes beau visage
Impose au monde dâĂȘtre sage
Puisque nous devenons réels.
Paul ELUARD - Le visage de la paix
