Описание:

The beauty of art is necessary for happiness.

In everyday life the arts gives that extra dimension to life that makes it a great adventure.

The art and design in buildings, city planning, gardens and parks, roads, bridges - everything that we use daily contributes to a happy and fulfilling life.

Ugly buildings, sloppy design, poor quality workmanship, littering and defacing contributes to a miserable life.

Why would you want a miserable life? Why would you want to impose a miserable life on others?

Hokusai was not only a truly great artist.

He also sent a message to common people, who could afford to buy his low cost prints.

He conveyed the beauty of majesty, the mount Fujijama, in life.

He conveyed the beauty of scenery - he said to people - look around you and see and enjoy the beauty of the scenery.

He conveyed the beauty of a good human life - the craftmanship in making the timber, building the boat, fishing, growing tea, enjoying tea with the scenery.

The 36 Views of Mt Fuji are religious prints. But different from the typical Christian religious motif the humans are not shown focused on the diety all the time, even if Mt Fuji is shown to have a pervading influence on their lives.

The admiration and worship of Mt Fuji is often shown as incidental - a single traveler of the group casting a glance at the majestic mountain while the others are busy with the many other things to do. In other words a very realistic rendition on how the divine is taking part in everyday life.

Описание:

Nativity is a scene from the stories of the birth of Jesus. They are in the
Gospels of Matthew and Luke. With inspiration in these stories you use either figurines or live people to create the scene and convey the story.
In Slovenia you find on of the finest live Nativity plays in the famous
Postojna Cave

One of the wonderful traditions of Christmas is the Nativity. But you don't have to be Christian or a regular church-goer to love these wonderful displays. The creativity and artistry speak to all children and to the child in us all.

These scenes excite especially the children. Their happy smiles and their joy is so wonderfully rewarding. But adults as well enjoy both creating and looking at the nativity scenes.

This has developed into a huge handicraft industry in countries like Spain and Italy. Artists and craftsmen work all year round to create their next exhibits, which are sold especially at Christmas markets.

Families collect figurines and accessories from the markets and create their own displays at home. Churches, beginning with the Vatican, and cities and other institutions create their own annual exhibits that are venerated and celebrated.

This little book shows you some of the nativity performances we have seen and some of the figurines and accessories that you can find in the various Christmas markets and shops in Slovenia.

Nativity is today a Catholic tradition, separated in many countries from official society as Christianity does no longer have the same central function, although the European values and norms are deeply steeped in Christianity. Although Slovenia is a mainly secular country, Catholicism and Lutheranism still has a huge influence.

We show you also some alternative displays, usually with music that make the children, and adults, happy. What was striking was the ambience and the food. Everybody was out eating and celebrating

Описание:

Visit Edo, modern day Tokyo, as experienced by Utagawa Hiroshige in this wonderful tourist guide from the 1850s.

Experience Edo as the Japanese loved it, a sophisticated city catering to a wealthy elite of damiyo, local rulers that regularly had to spend time away from their lands, in Edo, where the shogun could keep an eye on them.

The 100 Famous Views of Edo was one of the popular print series made in Japan, like Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been published earlier in the 1830s and which influenced Hiroshige tremendously (ISBN 9782919787159 as hard cover).

But much more important is the influence the 100 Famous Views of Edo had on European impressionists like Van Gogh, Degas, Manet and Monet. Hiroshige impressed with cropped items to create focus and his horizontal format.

Описание:

Joaqu n Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene he was painting.

Some of the first nudes by Sorolla was gifted to his future father in law, the photographer Antonio Garcia and mother in law Clotilde del Castillo.

When Sorolla won a stipend to study in Rome, nudes were obligatory, but his skills developed being able to convey expressions that the jury back in Valencia found morally improper.

Sorolla painted two magnificent nudes of his wife, a beautiful tribute to their love.

Joaqu n Sorolla however, is especially famous for his nudes of happy children and youth on the beach under the dazzling Valencian sun.

Описание:

In Catalonia you can enjoy the most wonderful cakes - Catalan Pastis - some of which have a unique local character developed with proud traditions. History and politics are briefly commented.

Catalan Pastis is the third volume in our series World of Cakes.

In Luxembourg - A Piece of Cake we toured the incredible cake shop world in tiny Luxembourg. The variety far exceeds what you would expect in a country smaller than Rhode Island. The book was an unplanned accident.

In Florida Cakes we continued the habit of taking pictures of some of the cakes we purchased. Our life took us to the sunny beaches of Florida for a while. The cake designs in Florida are just incredible.

Now back in Europe we had business in Spain and especially in Catalonia, which we enjoyed during a number of months.

Again, we took advantage of its uniquely enjoyable cake shops - bombonierie - making the most wonderful cakes - pastis in Catalan - some which are not found elsewhere.

There must be at least one thousand cake shops and cafes in Barcelona alone serving these great specialities.

We will try to discover some of the secrets behind this formidable variety and quality of Catalan pastis - Catalan cakes. You will be surprised

We very much hope you will enjoy the tour and will take the opportunity to visit Spain and Catalonia yourself one day

Many thanks to Concha Marchante of the Servei de Pesca Continental in Barcelona and Professor Emili Emili Garcia-Berthou from the University of Girone for their kind assistance with very interesting information on the fish in the Tordera River.

Описание:

Everyone ran down to the quay side to take pictures and video with their smartphones, when the dolphins appeared.

People were absolutely mesmerized by the dolphins. Here in Florida they love their wild animals and there were a lot of them on Treasure Island.

The birds we had most interaction with were the crows. They were smaller than we were used to, so they must be Fish Crows. They woke us up every morning as the sun rose, like roosters.

We tried the small toy crow we bought, with actual voice recording on them. The Fish Crows could understand the recorded message, but it was obviously a dialect.

We were amateur Europeans in this Florida paradise. We hope readers will forgive and correct any identifications we got wrong.

We only write about the species we actually encountered here, so don't look for alligators..

The book is illustrated with own pictures

Описание:

Europe has many wonderful old traditions, and one of them is the Christmas market.

The Christmas market in Vienna in Austria is truly amazing. It is one of the oldest in the World - it started at a "December market" in 1298, although that may not qualify as a "real" Christmas market among historians.

The "December market" was by the Cathedral, St Stephan Dom.

Christmas markets became a tradition in German speaking lands and ushered in the four week church festival of Advent. In nearby Munich, Germany the Christmas market is first mentioned in 1310.

It is traditionally held in the town square and the market has food, drink and seasonal items from open-air stalls accompanied by traditional singing and dancing.

Here the tradition include mulled wine - Gl hwein - and sausage with Saurkraut, pickled cabbage.

Often the market is opened with singing and a procession of the "Christ kind," which used to be a boy but now is mostly a local girl.

Today almost all Christmas markets have a program of processions, Christmas music and entertainment. In Austria a brass band playing local music is a must. There are also other activities such as workshops where you can see traditional handicrafts.

Joaqu n Sorolla loved his wife and his family. He painted them all the time. He lived in the time when photography was being invented and commercialized. Sorolla created a virtual family album with his wonderful paintings. He invited us to see and share his happiness. Sorolla was not shy about his family as many of his contemporaries were.

He sold many paintings that showed his family, especially his daughter Mar a was a favorite with the public, and Sorolla jokingly called Mar a the breadwinner of the family. He wanted us to share his view of the ideal family as he shared his view of a great and united Spain. Sorolla painted dogs and a cat as pets, as part of the family, superbly catching their soul and character.

This little book shows you some of the nativity scenes we have seen and some of the figurines and accessories that you can find in the Christmas markets and shops in and around Salzburg, Austria. You find the most beautiful Tyrolian hand made wooden cribs and figurines here.

Nativity is a Catholic tradition, separated in many countries from official society as Christianity no longer has the same function, although European values are deeply steeped in Christianity.

In Northern European countries the birth of Jesus is no longer the central theme of the Christmas displays.

We show you also some alternative displays, usually with animals, that are used instead to make the children, and adults, happy. Mostly they are in shopping windows and displace for a while the display of some of the commercial goods that is the daily function of the windows.
