TABLE OF CONTENTS. Part 3 CONTINUES ON THE NEXT PAGE

ART REVIEW: PAINTING, SCULPTURE AND INSTALLATIONS.

P.179. Salwa Zeidan is an art phenomenon on the intellectual-evocative abstract art landscape. Although the forms are primordial in her compositions, the esthetical intellect remains paramount in her structural presentation of the mind, the soul and the beauty of the intimate feelings. Her art makes you contemplate and through your contemplation, you discover emerging visions of unseen but felt figures, hidden but revealed materialization of a dialogue between the intelligent meaning of abstract illustration and romantic intimacy...

P.181. Hilda Hiary: Beads of thoughts and complex micro forms in quasi organic and mechanical structure, sometimes autonomous and some other time evolving with precision. Hiary’s style might not reflect lyrical warmth or breeze of romanticism but, most certainly, it makes you think. Would this lead us to assume that Hiary’s style is alert and mature, perhaps intellectual-organic? Possibly.

P.183. Balsamo: Never before and never again, will there be a woman like Marie Curie and Cleopatra, a painter like da Vinci and Raphael, a genius like Thomas Edison or Albert Einstein , a visionary like Picasso, a poet like Victor Hugo, Lamartine, or Dante, a general like Alexander the Great and Hannibal, a composer like Mozart and Chopin, a singer like Caruso, Carlos Gardel and Jacques Brel and an artist like Vincenzo Balsamo!! Vincenzo Balsamo, the last greatest artist of the 20^th and 21^st centuries!!

 

P.188. Venel: Maitre Venel is an astonishing art phenomenon. He captures the melodic past of our days, nights and passion and throw it over the linens like shadows of lights over a river, to recreate a universe of a more enchanting beauty which would exist in the dreams of a parallel future.

P.188. Peppe Aveni: Aveni is a self-assured artist. Infinite limpid strokes of genius and profound affection for natural beauty drive Aveni to the edge of irresistible magnetic field called Divinity of Art, “L’Arte Divino”. In other words, Aveni brings the traditions of the old Italian Masters to a dinner table, where Champagne and caviar are served not at the tune of Puccini’s La Boheme...

P.189.  Judy Cox: I do not know if those multi-colored, vibrant, intelligently striking, magnificently composed and elegantly appealing paintings are a part of a posterior, anterior, pre-cursor or a new expressive  style of Judy Cox? For, I have never seen before any of them in Judy Cox Washington’s exhibitions...

P.191. Anna: Anna Harutyunyan is the international leading artist of romantic intellectualism in contemporary abstract art. She is a world class artist distinguished by her romantic interpretation of religious themes and philosophical visions, blended with an elegant flair of intellectualism, nostalgia and conceptual artistic avant-garde. Anna’s evocative style elevates your spirit to a firmament where the “fantastic” and the “realistic” unite and blend into rebellious strokes and splashes of lights, metaphoric lines, curves and transcendental intelligence.

P.192. JAMES P. LANGSTON. He  was born in Montgomery, Alabama, October 17, 1944 to a military family. He  lived on several military bases in many different locations and began teaching at Crystal River Primary in 1968, Florida He continued to work in the same county his entire teaching career while serving the community. His professional life has been devoted to teaching young people the skills necessary to succeed in life through a student-centered classroom where creativity, concentration, problem solving, self-efficiency and self-discipline are stressed.

P.196. Marina Kharma: Meet The First Lady of Painting and Neo Romantic Classicism of the Middle and Near Eastern World… Enter the enchanting world of Marina Kharma, a universe of one million rainbows and splashes of lights and colors…a journey into the beauty, the warmth, the magic, the tender sweet moments and nostalgia of dreamlands, gardens of roses, lilac, cyclamens, memories and wild roses blooming in the valleys at each dawn and sunset…warm houses and friends at the door to welcome you…exploding waves on the shores…baskets of flowers and rays of hopes hanging from the balconies…rose, roses, colors, colors, beauty, beauty everywhere…old windows hiding behind bushes of wild flowers and hanging on their own in time...

P.198. Bizarre Art: IN ENGLAND, THE BRITS DISPLAY A TOILET SEAT IN THEIR MUSEUMS AS AN ART MASTERPIECE!! THE ENGLISH ARE BIZARRE THIS YEAR!!!! From Saatchi offensive art exhibitions to displaying a toilet as “PUBLIC ART”!!

 

P.207. KINGDOM OF CILICIA: The kingdom of Cilicia  is considered by eminent historians, archaeologists and anthropologists as one of the greatest ancient empires of all times. It did not last very long  in the history of human kind but, most certainly, it made an immense mark on the European civilization, its way of life, its trade and commerce, its arts and laws, its architecture and above all, it left an extra-ordinary impact on Early Christianity edifices, castles, palaces, cathedrals and churches, as well as on  the Crusaders who learned from the Armenians how to build circular- round-shaped castles and towers.

P. 224 A. Allied spies taped Blix mobile phone. The United Nation's chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix had his mobile phone tapped by allied spies from the United Kingdom and the United States according to fresh allegations in the British Media. Gossips and rumors emerged the day after former Cabinet minister Clare Short claimed that British agents spied on UN Secretary General Kofi Annan in the run-up to war in Iraq.

P.224. Bin Laden’s inspired artwork on Turner list. An artwork which has been inspired by Osama Bin Laden is one of the four art pieces nominated in London for this year's £40,000 Turner Prize 2004.

P.224. Who's to blame? A move is afoot to blacken the museum's name. This may not be just. “AS SOON as there's a government that decides that others should do this job, they're welcome,” says Donny George, the research director at the Iraq National Museum. He thus acknowledged his own vulnerability to the de-Baathifying zeal of Pietro Cordone, the Italian diplomat whom the Americans recently put in charge of Iraqi culture.

P.229. THIEVES WITH CLASS AND FINE TASTE FOR ART. There is no doubt that the image of the suave and sophisticated gentleman art thief has been enhanced down the years by a succession of Hollywood icons, from Cary Grant in the Hitchcock classic To Catch a Thief to Sir Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones in Entrapment. But when it comes to the world of art heists - with beautiful paintings, elegant locations and connotations of an exotic millionaire lifestyle - the reality is closer to dangerous criminal gangs operating on an international scale.

P.229. Scandal: AUCTIONEERS, PRICE FIXERS AND ART MIXERS, CROOKS AND GREEDY WITH CLASS FOR THE HIGH CLASS END UP IN JAIL!! The former chairman of Sotheby's has been convicted of conspiring with rival auction house Christie's to fix the commissions paid by sellers of fine art.
