Pioneers: Artists in the Paris of the Roaring Twenties, exhibition in Paris

 



From March 2 to July 10, 2022, the Museum of Luxembourg in Paris is presenting paintings, sculptures, photographs, films, textiles, and literary works that highlight the role of women in the development of modern artistic movements in the 1920s.


The pioneers include artists such as Tamara de Lempicka, Sonia Delaunay, Tarsila do Amaral, and Chana Orloff, born at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. This is the time that women gained access to the great schools of art. During the 1920s, the roaring twenties, many of the artistic women stayed in Paris for a few weeks or a few years to “be seen” in the art sphere.


The new pioneering women were the first to be recognized as artists, and have their own studio, gallery, or publishing house. They led art workshops that drew and painted naked bodies, male and female. They dressed as they wished, expressed whatever sexuality they wanted to, and chose to marry or not. They had ownership of their studios, their professions, their lives, and their bodies.


The exhibition is curated by Camille Morineau, Curator of Heritage and Director of the Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions (AWARE), with associate curator art historian Lucia Pesapane. The exhibition is supported exclusively by CHANEL.

Flaws in the Glass, a self-portrait by Patrick White: book review

The manuscript, Flaws in the Glass (1981), is Patrick Victor Martindale White’s autobiography. White, born in 1912 in England, migrated to Sydney, Australia, when he was six months old. For three years, at the age of 20, he studied French and German literature at King’s College at the University of Cambridge in England. Throughout his life, he published 12 novels. In 1957 he won the inaugural Miles Franklin Literary Award for Voss, published in 1956. In 1961, Riders in the Chariot became a best-seller, winning the Miles Franklin Literary Award. In 1973, he was the first Australian author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for The Eye of the Storm, despite many critics describing his works as ‘un-Australian’ and himself as ‘Australia’s most unreadable novelist.’ In 1979, The Twyborn Affair was short-listed for the Booker Prize, but he withdrew it from the competition to give younger writers the opportunity to win the award. His autobiography, Flaws in the Glass

Sister cities discussed: Canberra and Islamabad

Two months ago, in March 2015, Australia and Pakistan agreed to explore ways to deepen ties. The relationship between Australia and Pakistan has been strong for decades, and the two countries continue to keep dialogues open. The annual bilateral discussions were held in Australia in March to continue engagements on a wide range of matters of mutual interest. The Pakistan delegation discussed points of interest will include sports, agriculture, economic growth, trade, border protection, business, and education. The possible twinning of the cities of Canberra, the capital of Australia, and Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, were also on the agenda (i.e. called twin towns or sister cities). Sister City relationships are twinning arrangements that build friendships as well as government, business, culture, and community linkages. Canberra currently has international Sister City relationships with Beijing in China and Nara in Japan. One example of existing
