Эх, не выросли еще молодильные яблочки на грядке у сумаcшедшего ученого-генетика. Но это не повод стареть! В конце-концов, женщина может быть либо молодой, либо – мертвой, а умирать, мягко говоря, рановато: дел непочатый край! Лично мне каждый год исполняется 18 и очень хочется, чтобы паспортный возраст ничто не выдавало. Поэтому я подружилась с косметологом, что и советую сделать всем: во-первых, личный косметолог не будет «впаривать» бесполезные (и дорогие) процедуры, иначе потеряет постоянного клиента, во вторых, эффект от посещений можно прогнозировать, а не покупать «кота в мешке».

As a non-artist, when I think of modern art, I think of art that has recently been created, and trying to think in a larger scope of history, I think of recent as in the last 100 years. In many ways, this is correct, but not completely. In the art world, different art styles are referred to as -isms. This probably sounds familiar from an old college humanities class. You probably learned about Naturalism, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and more. Well, some of these -isms are major category heads, with many sub-isms beneath them, and that is true with Modernism.Modernism was an all encompassing movement that takes in other movements as well. Modernism took place during the first part of the 20th century, and though sub-categories under Modernism may be quite different from each other, they do hold in common the rejection of Naturalism and Academicism, both styles which followed rigid rules of painting that could be taught in school, and that closely resembled the natural world. Instead Modernists favored experimental art.The modern world was changing, so art needed to change as well. Modern art would explore the new modern world, and artists chose to do this in...more
