text: A slice of genius from Michel Legrand – one of his brilliant late 60s soundtracks, not as well remembered as, but cut during the same period as The Thomas Crown Affair. The soundtrack is probably best remembered for the incredible theme "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life" – sung here in 2 versions by Michael Dees, and also served up in a nice instrumental take as well. But overall, the whole record is pretty darn great – not as out and out groovy as some of Legrand's other work, but with a great mix of moody, jazzy, and atmospheric – handled with some really great instrumental touches that are all Legrand, all the way! Titles include "Smooth Sailing", "Collage", "Diamonds Are Forever", "Floating Time", "Hurry Up N Hurry Down", and "Whistle While You Swing". (Original pressing. Cover has a small cut corner.) © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

French Impressionism represents one of the most important periods in art history, with artists rejecting established forms of painting. By shifting their focus to landscapes and everyday life, and through painting outside so as to capture changing light patterns, the group developed a distinct style. Albeit one that caused considerable scorn when first exhibited. Indeed, the term 'impressionism' was initially used as a term of derision. However it was later adopted by the movement when Monet and peers exhibited their work in Paris in 1872 under the 'Impressionist' banner. Successive exhibitions saw the group's popularity rise and enjoy increasing critical acclaim. The movement would eventually spread beyond France and also develop into a myriad of different forms under the Post-Impressionist banner.
The work of Monet, Pissaro, Renior and Degas represents some of the most popular and sought after art today, with their works continuing to pack galleries and sell for mind-boggling prices. Our collection features many of the most recognisable works next to lesser know gems from this most impressive of movements.
Sign up for the Easyart newsletter to take advantage of this exclusive offer and receive updates on the latest artists and collections.
Gives the frame its character and provides the perfect setting for an artwork to be fully enjoyed.
Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups low-fat buttermilk
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 450F
Combine the flours, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. Make a well in the center of mixture. Add buttermilk to flour mixture; stir until blended (dough will be sticky). Turn dough out onto a generously floured surface. Knead lightly 4 to 5 times. Shape dough into an 8-inch round loaf; place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 450 for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400 and continue to bake for another 15 minutes, or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath. Cool on a wire rack. Simple and delicious!
Healthy tip: To reduce calories simply use low-fat buttermilk instead of full-fat buttermilk.

This weekend's theme photo was an opportunity to tell another story of forgotten musical history, and also a chance to showcase what I feel is the most important historical film ever made. Very Sepia.
You might need a second cup of coffee.

Kristen Stewart has long been a trainer devotee. We've previously reported how the Twilight actress has repeatedly been caught swapping her swanky stilettos for a pair of comfortable old Converse half way down the red carpet. Only now it turns out K-Stew's sneaky sneakers aren't worn in order to enhance her carefree, beatnik image but instead they're a necessary tool to enable the star to connect with fans of the film franchise.
The 22-year-old told The Sunday Times Style magazine "I just so wholeheartedly disagree with people who don't like what I wear" before offering up a stern word of warning to those stars who are "more concerned about looking pretty in your heels, and so you're walking slowly down the line. Put a pair of sneakers on." It's true; we can imagine signing autographs for hours in gravity defying heels would not be fun. Then of course there's the potential risk of falling over in front of the paps.
High profile candidates who could do with taking note include Amanda Seyfried, who took a rather nasty tumble at the Vanity Fair Oscars after party last year and Mel B who recently tweeted a picture of her bruised face alongside the caption 'Running in 7 inch Louboutins no good!!' Looks like Scary Spice could do with following band mate Victoria Beckham's lead by snapping up a pair of Manolo Blahnik Monk shoes.
We can't see many A-listers ditching the platforms any time soon but among the current generation of young pop stars trainers are increasingly popular. Cher Lloyd and Carly Rae Jepsen clearly see the benefit of performing in flats, so maybe K-Stew won't be on her own in the Footlocker queue after all.

Grown-up minimalism was where it was at for Topshop Unique's show earlier today. As guests piled into a space-age like pod to see what affordable delights the high street giant was offering up for Spring/Summer 2013 and as the first looks emerged, the venue became rather on-theme!
Sophisticated tailoring in a monochrome colour palette was followed by splashes of yellow and abstract prints, whilst asymmetric zip detailing provided an urban vibe, and body-con skirts and crop tops layered with oversized tailoring proved to be a successful combination. With transparent panelling and metallic accents also playing a significant role… Here are our highlights:
1. The oversized, mannish white trouser suit: stole the show.
2. Black and royal blue for summer- we're totally into it!
3. You can't argue with those sexy minimalist silver sandals.
4. The graphic monochrome check prints: a welcome break from summer florals.
5. Look 16: one cool, crisp shirt-dress: dress it up, dress it down, wear it full stop.
Top model: Jourdan Dunn opened the show.
FROW watch: Hot new voices, singers, Jessies: Ware and Mills were rubbing shoulders and catching away.
Feel good factor: this is the catwalk collection with one price-friendly price tag!

The Réseau Art Nouveau Network now Cultural Route of the Council of Europe!
The Réseau Art Nouveau Network is delighted to announce that it has been approved for certification as a Council of Europe Cultural Route by the Governing Board of the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Cultural Routes (EPA), following the final defense which took place on 11 April 2014 in Luxembourg.
Through numerous activities (travelling exhibitions, colloquiums, publications, activities for children…), the Réseau Art Nouveau Network indeed created since 1999 an active cooperation and an exchange of experiences between multiple European actors concerned by the study and the conservation of the European and International Art Nouveau heritage, as well as by its promotion and diffusion towards the public while underlining the cultural values and the European dimension of this heritage.
It answers thus to the different requested criteria for the granting of this mention (representative theme of the European values common to several countries; projects of multilateral long-term cooperation of scientific research, of heritage conservation and enhancement – especially towards the young Europeans; organisation in independent and structured network…) and has been recognized by the EPA of the Council of Europe as a "a cultural, educational heritage and tourism co-operation project aiming at the development and promotion of an itinerary or a series of itineraries based on a historic route, a cultural concept, figure or phenomenon with a transnational importance and significance for the understanding and respect of common European values." (Annexe to Resolution CM/Res(2013)66)
It joins the 26 others Cultural Routes certified yet for a three-years collaboration especially with the European Institute of Cultural Routes (EICR), technical body set up in 1998 to ensure the continuity and development of the Cultural Routes programme in the 50 signatory countries of the European Cultural Convention.
The Cultural Routes programme was launched by the Council of Europe in 1987. Its objective was to demonstrate, by means of a journey through space and time, how the heritage of the different countries and cultures of Europe contributes to a shared cultural heritage. The Cultural Routes put into practice the fundamental principles of the Council of Europe: human rights, cultural democracy, cultural diversity and identity, dialogue, mutual exchange and enrichment across boundaries and centuries.

Exhibition Ways to Modernism at the MAK in Vienna – from 17 December 2014 to 14 April 2015
Josef Hoffmann (1870–1956) and Adolf Loos (1870–1933) were the most important architects and designers in Vienna around 1900 in the generation after Otto Wagner. They developed two contrary approaches to the expression of individuality and self-realization among modern consumers. Josef Hoffmann followed a revolutionary path that led to the creation of utilitarian objects and architecture as aesthetic products in an ever-changing array of new designs. Adolf Loos pursued an evolutionary strategy that viewed utilitarian objects and architecture not as art products, but as the discrete background for individual lifestyles. These two contrary mindsets represent fundamental interpretations of the tasks of modern architects and designers as well as different images of modern lifestyles of the emancipated citizen.

Call for papers II coupDefouet International Congress in Barcelona – from 25 to 28 June 2015
Breaking the Art Nouveau Glass Ceiling
The Art Nouveau European Route brings together local governments and other institutions in the common quest for the protection, promotion and diffusion of Art Nouveau heritage.
To fully explore and bring to light the value of Art Nouveau heritage, therefore, a Congress organised by the Art Nouveau European Route cannot limit its scope to the analyses and interpretation of the tangible heritage; it must go deeper into the reality of the communities that created it.
In this second edition of the coupDefouet International Congress, we propose to shed new light on an aspect that has been studied very little, if at all: the important contribution of women artists to the development of Art Nouveau. In a nutshell: women as artists, women as creators, women as promoters and protagonists of Art Nouveau. Coupled with this ambition, we also wish to revisit the widely studied and interpreted representation of the female aesthetic and ideal in Art Nouveau, with new contributions on the matter.
A further strand will focus on little-known Art Nouveau cities, in which we expect to discover creative centres of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that have not until now been widely publicised. A similar section on research in progress to the first congress, one in which we welcome presentations from both seasoned and young researchers, will complete the thematic strands of the programme.
The final deadline for submissions is 1 December 2014

Exhibition The Norwegian Japonism at the Jugendstilsenteret in Ålesund - from 26 September 2014 to 7 April 2015
"The movement that is now spreading from Japan across Europe"
This quote from the Norwegian artist Gerhard Munthe (1849–1929) refers to one of the main trends in European art from the mid-19th century through the early decades of the 20th century.
In 1853, Japan opened its borders to the outside world after 200 years of isolation. This lead to a cult of all things Japanese among European artists – a movement labelled as Japonism from the 1860s–70s onward. This Japanese-inspired art did not constitute a style as such, but greatly influenced a number of styles in European art. In the 1880s and 1890s, Japonism became a major ingredient of the Art Nouveau style. In Norway, Art Nouveau peaked in popularity in the years between 1890 and 1910.
This exhibition looks at the connections between the Art Nouveau style, the nation-building project in Norway, and the Japonism movement as expressed in Norwegian Art Nouveau. Starting with Gerhard Munthe, considered the leading proponent of Japonism in Norway, the exhibition highlights connections between Japonism and the distinct national character of Norwegian Art Nouveau in terms of technique, range of motifs, format, and choice of materials.

New permanent exhibition Palau Güell: A look at furniture at the Palau Güell in Barcelona
Palau Güell, a look at furniture is a permanent exhibition located in the bedroom floor that is integrated into the tour of the palace. In the rooms of the children Güell, hitherto closed to the public, you can see the original furniture that decorated the palace when the Güell family lived, as well as some modernist furniture owned by the Province of Barcelona (Diputació de Barcelona).
The sample is divided in two areas: "The decoration of Güell" and "The decorators of Modernism," which relate to the two stages of the building: the first, when it was owned by Eusebi Güell and his family, and, second, when it passed into the hands of Barcelona Provincial Council from 1945 and became a center of vindication of Gaudi and Catalan Modernism, while it was collecting furniture of cabinet makers, leading decorators of that time.
Exceptionally the Güell i de Sentmenat family temporarily handed two iconic pieces exhibited, designed by Antonio Gaudi at Palau Güell: the chaise longue Isabel Lopez and one of the original chairs called Cat and Mice. Furthermore, the family has also yielded a terracotta modernist bust, as a tribute to what would be the header architect of the family between 1880 and 1918, made by Carmen M. Malet and Travy.
II Conference cycle Gaudi and his promoters at the Palau Güell in Barcelona - from 3 to 24 November 2014
After the success of the first cycle, Palau Güell will hold the second edition "Gaudi and his promoters" that will take place from 3 to 24 November at the espai de Cotxeres of the Palau Güell and has four sessions.
The first two will deal with the relations of the two families: the Güell López, who played a key role in Modernism and were united through marriage Eusebio Güell and Isabel Lopez.
The third session will focus on the relationship between Gaudi and Güell, giving as a result the construction of Palau Güell.
Finally, the last figure of the conference is Eusebio Güell from an unknown point of view: his contribution to neuroscience, the study of the mind.
Admission is free.

UPDATE: Tuesday - 1/8/2013, 7:58pm ET - The Key Bridge has reopened to traffic in both directions.
Tuesday - 1/8/2013, 7:36pm ET - WASHINGTON - A man clinging to the rails along the Key Bridge shut down a major thoroughfare between the District and Virginia during the afternoon rush hour Tuesday.
Police were concerned the man would jump into the Potomac River and say they were negotiating with him.
The bridge closed to all traffic about 4:30 p.m. and remains closed to both inbound and outbound traffic.
The closure has created gridlock throughout Northwest D.C. stretching west of 17th Street, south of Massachusetts Avenue and east of the Chain Bridge, according to the WTOP Traffic Center.
The George Washington Parkway and Interstate 66 are also experiencing delays.
The Roosevelt, Memorial and 14th Street bridges are picking up overflow traffic but the lanes are open and traffic is moving.
Metro reported through its Twitter account that buses were experiencing heavy delays in both directions because of the bridge closure.
The evening commute was further complicated by service delays along the Orange and Blue lines because of a disabled train at the Rosslyn station.
Here's a sample of what commuters encountered this evening:

Suffrage: Past and Present
Specific histories of suffrage then and now differ greatly, and the uneven path to women's right to vote is indicative of each nation's cultural and political landscape. Recent struggles such as those in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia emerged from a contemporary context with regards to political opportunity structures, justifications (or framing), and strategic organization (or resource mobilization).
Using these frameworks for analysis, how would you compare the most recent suffrage struggles in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia with those of past struggles?

Nov 13, 2012Oh hell.. It IS soungarden............................................................................................................................
Nov 13, 2012The Knights of the Soundtable ride again! King Animal is Soundgarden's first studio album since their 2010 reunion, and their first album of new material since 1996's Down on the Upside. And this album was definitely worth the wait. Soundgarden, driven by the wailing (and no less powerful) vocals of Chris Cornell, the mighty guitar riffs of Kim Thayil, the bouncy basslines of Ben Shepherd, and the eclectic and versatile drumming of Matt Cameron, have crafted a magnificent work of rock 'n roll. The overall vibe is similar to that of the band's previous albums Superunknown (IMO their magnum opus) and Down on the Upside. The songs are grungy without sounding nostalgic; instead they sound like a fresh reawakening. The band maneuvers through odd time signatures with ease, performing with vitality despite their older age. There are fast songs and slow songs, heavy rockers and soft acoustic tracks, psychedelic dirges and energetic bursts of alt-metal. Hats off to Soundgarden for making not only an excellent comeback album, but one of the best albums of 2012.… Expand
Nov 15, 2012Wow, I have missed Soundgarden. King Animal rocks. Cornell's screaming lyrics are back. Heavy, fast, dynamic. Soundgarden could never top Badmoterfinger but they come close to it on King Animal.
Nov 13, 2012A triumphant comeback for Soundgarden. King Animal is a perfect followup to Down on the Upside, so much so that it hardly feels like their first album in 16 years.
Nov 13, 2012Grunge is back!!! Amazing.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nov 19, 2012King Animal is the first Soundgarden album that doesn't contain any "fillers" in my opinion, Gold from start to finish. Best album I've heard in a long time.
Nov 24, 2012Definitely a masterpiece, like they said, it takes where they left off, heavy, trippy, dark, and well written, it hava an awesome start with "Been away too long" and it ends perfect with "Rowing". glad Soundgarden is back!.
Nov 15, 2012I think I became a fan of Soundgarden right after Down on the Upside came out, and right before they broke up. Around 9 or 10 years old, I already knew that 'Black Hole Sun' and 'Blow Up The Outside' would be with me for a long time. Then... nothing. A movement, grunge, that truly spoke to me (in my adolescent youth somehow) that had faded away just as I arrived. Pearl Jam's best days were behind them, Nirvana was no more, Alice in Chains was about to begin their fade to black, Screaming Trees were on their way out and Mark Lanegan had yet to achieve on his own... There was nothing for another 13 years, aside from the few and far between quality Pearl Jam track. The 2000's wound up being very generous. Alice in Chains gave us "Black Gives Way to Blue," which while a powerful record, lacked their deceased frontman Layne Staley. But in 2012, the 90's came roaring back with "King Animal" from the most musically gifted of the Big 4 grunge bands. So how does it stack up? Well, to contemporary rock radio fare, it absolutely wipes the floor with your Neon Trees and Maroon 5 (which yes, are being played on Washington D.C.'s biggest rock station). This animal is indeed king, and it roars like a lion. The lead single is more a symbol of the band's return rather than a future Soundgarden classic. It's a pretty straight ahead rocker, but Chris Cornell's voice sounds aged, like the worst you ever hopefully never heard him on Audioslave's live DVD performance in Cuba. Maybe not QUITE that bad, but it had me fearing the worst. Luckily, on most other tracks, it sounds like he hasn't aged a day since 1996. This is especially true on 'A Thousand Days Before,' which is so far my favorite track on the album. It's a moving, unruly, "chicken pickin" Eastern flavored triumph, which will undoubtedly go down as a staple in Soundgarden setlists. Other highlights: 'Rowing,' 'Black Saturday,' 'Non-State Actor,' and 'Blood on the Valley Floor," the latter of which requires multiple listens to fully absorb the initially off-putting disharmonic sludge, which eventually harkens back to 'Mailman' and 'Limo Wreck'.… Expand
Nov 26, 2012No, this album is not a "10". But it's hands down better than anything Cornell and the rest of the guys put out during the band shut down. It sounds more Superunknown than Down On The Upside, which is good :). To me, best album of 2012, along with Killing Joke, The Walkmen, and dEUS.
Nov 13, 2012Sixteen years is a LONG time for any established creative collective, in any medium, to finally break silence and get back to doing what they do best; and with all the days, weeks and months that pile on, so does expectations. On that end, it's not hyperbole to say that Soundgarden have their work cut out for them, coupled with the fact that the last couple of work from frontman Chris Cornell haven't exactly made a splash with people, other than the truly devoted, does garner some doubt into the reformation of the much heralded musical collective; but somehow, just somehow, these four have shown that the newly reformed group are not some cash-grabbing nostalgia trip by way of a new record that at once feels comfortably familiar and genuinely exploratory. 'King Animal' would've fit snugly into the late nineties as a great rock record but feels absolutely vital in this century.
Listening to the album from top-to-bottom is a genuinely enlightening, albeit strangely paced, journey thus I will not spoil it with a track-by-track dissection. The only thing worth mentioning to longtime fans is that the transition from 1996's 'Down on the Upside' to this is staggeringly smooth and expected, to the uninformed however, this album is a history lesson into a time when rock musicians weren't afraid to take creative risks and at the same time not altering too much of what defined them. Guitarist Kim Thayil's playing still sounds like an extremely gifted child trying to explore every angle of his instrument, bass player Ben Shepherd still occasionally ventures off the beaten path with his writing and playing, drummer Matt Cameron still hasn't learned to keep a steady beat (in the best way possible of course!) and singer Chris Cornell still...well, expecting him to hit those high notes like it's 1992 is grossly unfair to a musician who has proven himself time and again to be more than the sum of his [vocal] parts, but his voice has a much more raw, more feral and uninhibited twinge to it now; but the fact that the man still retains his patented drum-shattering-scream-to-seducing-croon-in-nanoseconds is a truly herculean achievement.
If there's any criticism with the record it's that it barely holds any surprises for the stalwarts, as mentioned above this album is a rather smooth transition from their last work, which is a shame given how the band showed their inexorable will to evolve with each of their past albums; but let's not try and sound too ungrateful; there's still that sense of wonder, angst and exploration in these tracks that we've all come to expect from a 'post-Badmotorfinger' Soundgarden album. All in all, King Animal is an absolutely essential listen to any individual who claims to love rock music and a great sigh of relief for us nervous longtimers.… Expand
Nov 14, 2012Soundgarden still stands as a very respected entity in the music industry, so stakes were quite high with King Animal, the band's first studio release in well over a decade. Chris Cornell said himself, prior to the release, that the new album would be sort of a natural progression from the band's 1996 album Down on the Upside. And for the most part this statement holds true, though that is not to say that the band sounds predictable on King Animal. Songs like By Crooked Steps, A Thousand Days Before and Bones of Birds definitely have that special something that characterize Soundgarden. Black Saturday and Rowing are songs that don't sound like anything the band has ever done and are a welcome addition to the band sonic palette. On the flip side, the song Halfway There, as catchy and melodic as it is, doesn't really feel at home on a Soundgarden record. Overall, King Animal is a strong album that proves that the band still has chemistry and that should satisfy long time fans.… Expand
Dec 21, 2012King Animal bucks the trend by being reasonably good. It is unquestionably a Soundgarden album, and far better than anyone had a right to expect.
Dec 10, 2012In an era when so many classic bands return to tout but without risking new material, it's a delight to have Soundgarden take that gamble and win. [17 Nov 2012, p.52]

The Courtauld Gallery presents Jasper Johns: Regrets, a display of new work by the internationally renowned American artist. Now aged 83 and established as one of the world's most revered living artists, Johns' reputation was confirmed in the late 1950s when his iconic Flag and Target paintings paved the way for the development of Pop Art. During his career, Johns has created some of the most important and compelling works of modern times. Jasper Johns: Regrets showcases the artist's most recent body of work, developed over the last year and a half following his chance encounter with a 1964 photograph of Lucian Freud posing in Francis Bacon's London studio, reproduced in a Christie's auction catalogue.

Egon Schiele: The Radical Nude
- 23 October 2014 — 18 January 2015 *on now
Egon Schiele (1890-1918) is one of the most important artists of the early 20th
century and a central figure of Austrian Expressionism. Rising to prominence in Vienna alongside Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka in the turbulent years around the First World War, Schiele produced some of the most radical depictions of the human figure created in modern times.
This exhibition will be the first ever museum show in this country devoted entirely to the artist. It will explore in detail one of Schiele's most vital and original subjects–his extraordinary drawings and watercolours of male and female nudes.
Schiele's technical virtuosity, highly original vision and unflinching depictions of the naked figure distinguish these works as being among his most significant contributions to the development of modern art. This sharply focused exhibition will be a major opportunity to see more than thirty of these radical works assembled from international public and private collections.
