  • The British art historian John Gage (June 1938-Feb 2012) known for his books on Turner and the art of the Industrial revolution. John Gage, who has died aged 73, was an art historian whose incisive intelligence and deep commitment to exploring the significance of colour in painting made him one of the most original and important figures working in the field. His magisterial book on understandings of colour in western art, Colour and Culture: Practice and Meaning from Antiquity to Abstraction (1993), has become a standard work of reference. The fruit of the better part of a lifetime's work, it has found a wide audience well outside the field of art history, and has been translated into five languages. John also wrote groundbreaking studies on Turner that transformed our understanding of this artist's approach to painting, showing how its vivid visual qualities do not speak just to the eye, but address both eye and mind in a way that is rich with symbolic and cultural meaning.

From the 1970s onward, Kuwait scored highest of all Arab countries on the Human Development Index.

  • We are looking up from the ground to crowds gathered in three levels of a multi-story car park to await athletes pass during the London Marathon. The runners will make their way through the streets of East London beneath these spectators who have been patiently waiting for their friends and families to pass below. It is a great viewpoint from which to view such a sporting spectacle and we are peering up at the supporters leaning against the discoloured (discolored) concrete architecture dating back to the 1970s. It is the best elevated place to witness the race. There are three rows of 5 columns totalling 15 seperate windows and each one is full of families young and old. They resemble the compartments of a garden pet hutch where rabbits are kept in cramped conditions.

  • A young lad of 10 poses for a portrait taken by his brother while holding the hand of his young nephew. Confusingly, the 10 year-old uncle and the 1 year-old child are closer in age than the two brothers. The older boy is on holiday in Malawi visiting expat family in the then capital, Blantyre, so named after the town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, where the explorer David Livingstone was born. Both boys stand in the dust of a back yard where a broken windmill remains upright in the intense brightness of mid-day. It is a scene of awkward and gangly boyhood versus the confidence and innocence of young childhood and their posture is exaggerated by differing heights. Kodachrome film has a wonderful magenta colour cast in mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look.

  • One week after the September 11th attacks in New York and in Washington DC, two ex-US Ranger veterans visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Constitution Gardens, Washington DC. One helps another to climb up to trace the imprint of their dead friend's name, mentioned with 58,195 other recorded casualties on its polished wall. The average age of those men was 19 in the sixties and seventies.

We are in her small cottage on the outskirts of town and the doctor is making his rounds to various patients unable to attend his daily surgery. The lady wears a colourful apron, typical of French working people, and is possibly in her seventies, living alone with only kind neighbours to ensure her safety. ....http://www.france-voyage.com/en/
