More The revival of "Esperpento": A new lens on reality to open at the Museo Reina SofiaMADRID.- An exhibition at the heart of Madrids vibrant cultural scene seeks to explore the concept of esperpento, a revolutionary aesthetic developed by Ramón MarÃa del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936), as a way of understanding the complex and distorted realities of the early 20th century. This thought-provoking exhibition delves into the critical framework Valle-Inclán created to challenge the entrenched societal, political, and cultural norms of Spain, offering a fresh perspective on a nation plagued by moral and social despair. The concept of esperpento was more than just a literary toolit was a scathing critique of the moral and cultural backwardness that Valle-Inclán saw engulfing Spain during his lifetime.

Imagery of the Sea'LAUSANNE.- At the point where art history and the history of culture meet, Thalassa! Thalassa! Imagery of the Sea probes our relationship to the sea as that connection has taken shape in figurative art from the 19th century up to the present. In light of humans reworking and reordering of the shoreline, in keeping with the development of navigation and the advances made in geology and zoology, how we see the Ocean and its denizens both real and imaginary has indeed experienced an endless sea change. Many technical inventions have accompanied these developments and advances, including aquarium, diving bell, the old-style hard-hat diving suit, periscope, undersea vehicle, and on and on.

Flashback On a day like today, Swiss architect Le Corbusier was born  October 06, 1887. Charles-Ãdouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier (October 6, 1887 - August 27, 1965), was an architect, designer, urbanist, and writer, famous for being one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, with his buildings constructed throughout Europe, India and America. He was a pioneer in studies of modern high design and was dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities. Le Corbusier adopted his pseudonym in the 1920s, allegedly deriving it in part from the name of a distant ancestor, "Lecorbésier." He was awarded the Frank P. Brown Medal and AIA Gold Medal in 1961. In this image: French architect Georges Le Corbusier, left, and French writer Jules Romains are shown during a session of the conference of artists from around the world in the Palace of the Doges in Venice, Italy, in Sept. 1952.
