please and thanx

(10 to best answer)

Answer: you'd be better off googling or wikipedia-ing it, but here are a few tidbits:

you should probably know why the french rev'n happened; 1) the people were starving and dying of sickness and famine and the monarchy did absolutely nothing to help. 2) King Louis financed a bunch of wars bringing france to the edge of bankruptcy on top of everything else

there were two groups during the period that fought on opposite sides during the revolution: the jacobins and the girondins.

i forget exactly which is which but in know that people hung out in salons a lot and discussed the revolution and politics. the girondins tried to get the king to reform. the jacobins were more radical and wanted bloodshed i think.

Royalists were hated by all. royalists were people who were still for the king despite the inefficiency of that monarchy. you know all about the guillotine of course. people looked at it as the "common razor", which was an important idea in a time when people were trying to wrest power from kings and queens in favor of a democracy or republic. the guillotine put all people of all classes on the same level, cuz when they were executed, both noble and commoner were killed the same way and were equal.

also, in the language, i heard from my history teacher (a while ago so i don't remember all of it) you weren't allowed to "vouvoyer" or address someone with respect "vous". it's another way of saying "you" but to someone older or someone you don't know. it was considered a very royalist statement to vouvoyer someone and it came to the point that people were actually assaulted for saying it. you were supposed to address everyone as "tu".

well, that's about all i've got. good luck with the rest of the research.

With the US recession seeming more and more likely, people are turning to art as a secure investment and as a hedge against inflation due to the very low correlation between the art market and more mainstream investment markets like the stock market. Even in a down market, prices hold-up better for fine art, better than any type of object. The best way to make a killing investing in art is to pick the next big thing before everyone else does.

“Why an emerging artist?”….Well, in the same way that stock market investors get into the habit of attaching too much worth to their favorite stock despite all fundamental evidence to the contrary, artificially upholding its value ’til the very end, art enthusiasts too often ‘place their bets’ based upon name, or brand, recognition, when it is more often than not the lesser-known artists who are the better value.

When looking at investing in art it is easy to focus purely on the aesthetics which is really only part of the investment. If you purchase an artwork you are not just investing in the artwork its self, you are also investing in the artists career which is especially important when looking at emerging artists.

I use emerging artist LORD TOPH for this example.

* The works of LORD TOPH prove that he is a promising emerging artist, and he is the next great master.

* His diversity is unmatched in the market.

* LORD TOPH is no newcomer in the realm of fine art.

* He started painting at the age of 5, and sold his first commission at the age of 12.

* After high school, LORD TOPH received his formal training at the Memphis Academy of Arts, where he majored in painting, and design.

* He has been placed in several galleries in the US and has had several successful showings, publications, benefits, exhibitions, and auctions, including TV talk shows and news attention.

* Collectors of LORD TOPH’s art spread Coast to Coast, including NBA Hall Of Famer Sidney Moncrief. He also presented a piece for Sean Puffy Combs.

* The works of LORD TOPH have been compared to that of Pablo Picasso, Kandinsky, Modigliani, Cézanne, Matisse, and Van Gogh. Without a doubt his work is singular among many.

It has been said that he is the “Shakespeare” of Fine Art, and his works are simply Divine.

LORD TOPH gives us almost everything that we should look for when investing in an emerging artist. The only thing I was looking for was a “well established gallery” offering his works. He does currently show in a Carmel, California gallery along with his studio in New York.

I did have the chance to email his representative who did notify me that they have a few San Francisco and New York area galleries that they are in the middle of contract negotiations with, but still deciding on representation. She did tell me that they are looking for nonexclusive representation.That can be a challenge in California, and New York.

Since LORD TOPH wants to be able to offer his works globally, and not just in 1 gallery, this is why he is not yet featured in a “well established” gallery.

Usually when a gallery or agent decides to contract an artist they want exclusive representation. Exclusive representation means that the agent or gallery will not allow the artist to sell their work to any other buyer. All sales have to go through the gallery (or agent).

Now is the time to go for the non-traditional investments and to look to instruments that over time will, and have, served as true stores of value, such as ART, and when investing in art invest in the next great master.

Question: French Culture in French Revolution?

Any good websites for French culture during the Revolution, like operas written or dramas. If anything a title of an opera or drama during the late 1700’s. Many thanks!

Answer: Great question! I've been reading a lot lately on the French Revolution and French culture. But I haven't connected the two so much, so it's great that you asked the question.

Here are some links that I found during a Google search:

French Revolution Good Or Bad

The invention of eyeglasses was hailed as a revolutionary step forward in the battle against defective vision. However, this new development was not devoid of its share of problems.

People felt were awkward wearing eyeglasses. They were not comfortable about advertising their disability in public. They felt they would invite ridicule from those who had healthy eyes and that is exactly what happened.

Some resorted to using eyeglasses only in private. The English and French invented ‘monocular’, which could be easily hidden when not in use.

From Childhood To Adolescence

The manufacture and sale of eyeglasses was a lucrative business. However, customer dissatisfaction put the manufacturers on guard. They resorted to innovations and inventions to popularize the use of eyeglasses.

The monocle, also known as the eye ring, was first seen in England in 1800 and the elite took to them like fish takes to water. Monocles soon became a symbol of respectability and panache.

The popularity of monocles with the British elite led to an increase in its popularity in Europe and even Russia.

Another innovation was the lorgnette. The lorgnette is an eyeglass that has two lenses fitted in a frame and held in a handle. Instead of being worn on the face, the lorgnette was held in the hand and used when required.

Lorgnettes were marketed as style accessories and the products were embellished with artistic designs. This made them very popular with women, who despised wearing ordinary spectacles.

The 1840’s saw the invention of the pince-nez. The pince-nez can be described as an eyeglass without temples. They became very popular among men as well as women.

They were available in different styles and helped keep the eyeglass revolution alive. Men preferred pince-nez that were:

• Heavy and round, or

• Oval shaped

• Attached to a cord or chain

• Placed around the neck or

• Pinned to the lapel

Ladies preferred:

• Oval and rimless glasses

• Attached to a delicate chain

• Suitable to be hidden in the lady’s dress.

Despite all these marked improvements in eyeglass styles, even as late as the 20th century, eyeglasses were considered disfiguring, especially for women and girls. Though sunglasses did become extremely popular starting from 1930, eyeglasses were always viewed as a disfiguring though very practical aid for one’s eyesight.

While all the modifications and innovations became popular, eyeglasses were still very unpopular. They were considered disfiguring and avoided at all costs. The eyeglasses were tolerated but never liked or loved.

Adulthood Brought Popularity

However, the recent developments have changed the way the world looks at eyeglasses. Far from being an outcast, the eyeglass has become the most popular fashion accessory of all times.

Makers used high quality metals and plastics to make the glasses look good and cool. Top brands entered the market and the people were finally convinced that eyeglasses were not such a bad thing after all.

New frames, colors, designs and lenses- all helped improve the popularity of the eyeglasses. So much so that people are buying zero powered eyeglasses even if nothing is wrong with their vision.

Halo 3 Machinima :: The French Revolution

French Revolution Freemason

Again the ancient Greek Myths give the Secrets of meditation.

The Labyrinth, is cut into the stone floor of Chartres Cathedral. There was a plate in the middle of the Labyrinth there before the French revolution showing The myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.

The Minotaur like the Sphinx, the Centaur, King Kong and the Beauty and the Beast, shows the dual Nature of man. It represents the man without a heart, the savage animal red in tooth and claw. The Law of the Jungle. Kill or be killed.

The person only interested in himself to the detriment of everyone around him. The psychopathic personality who only wants for himself and who will do anything, even kill, those who stand against him.

Many people admire Julius Caesar yet when Julius Caesar came to France it contained six million people. After taking it over he had killed one million and one million had been sold off into slavery.

Similarly with Pol Pot of Cambodia, who killed 2 million people. Stalin of the Soviet Union who killed 65 millions of people, 25 million alone during the second world war and sent everyone else to the concentration camps, the Gulags. Mao Tse Tung of China killed off 35 millions during the cultural revolution in the name of holding onto power, and so for many other similar split psychopaths.

In order to open the heart we need to heal the Minotaur within all of us. It is called the initiation of, “Opening of the Heart. Removing the Blockages of the heart and this is the function of these ancient secrets of meditation.

Part of the Initiation is explaining the function of the Golden thread which allowed Theseus to find his way safely out of the Labyrinth created by Daedelus a genius of a man whose mind was made of metal and wheels.

Follow the golden thread, it will lead you to safety. The Golden thread is the Golden Circulation of the Energy….. The Secret Of The Golden Flower….
