As with almost all art movements, Impressionism was born out of something through force. It came about during the Second French Empire during the reign of Louis Napoleon III, along with the traditional code of the Fine Arts. What drove the impressionist painters such as Manet, Monet and Renoir to paint masterpieces known internationally was a breaking in attitude with the canons of the Royal Acade

Henri Matisse was known for being the enemy of Pablo Picasso, and the father of Fauvism. Talking about Matisse’s is to talk about the white doves and the intense and violent red he used in his paintings. The colour was not a way of representing the reality but something to translate the visual sensations of the artists as did André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck and Georges Braque.

Going to work, picking the kids up from school, going to the supermarket, the dry-cleaners, the gym, preparing supper and finally….to bed. But only to sleep because the day has been exhausting and we don’t have any energy left to dedicate to our partner and our relationship. Have you ever experienced this?

When the foreigners come back from a trip to the French capital, they tend to speak very well of its monuments and its food, but the ideas of its citizens are variable. As with any other nationality, the French have a couple of recurring and funny clichés. Sure you know the first one: the French are like the ...

In Europe divorces are becoming more and more recurrent. The marriages last less years and people marry later: since 1960 the marriage rate has dropped from 7.8 to 5.9 marriages per 1,000 inhabitants, and the average age for marriage has risen from 25 years in men and 23 women, to 27 and 25 respectively. To make matters worse, the out of wedlock births have multiplied…

ay “cheese!” or “look at the little bird”… Today, these expressions seem very archaic. Now we all have digital cameras, but when we were children we all had a throw away camera. And how proud we were with our little flash, with the 36 pictures or with our submersible cameras!

“Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness”. That quotation by American photojournalist, war photographer and artist [1918 – 1978] highlights some of the forces of reportage photography: its value as a historical document for information and power to change the looks and the realities.
