| | | | A WOMAN WILL HELM THE LOUVRE FOR FIRST TIME IN ITS 228-YEAR HISTORY
For the first time since its creation in the wake of the French Revolution, the Musée du Louvre in Paris will be headed by a woman. Laurence des Cars, 54, the current president of the Musée d'Orsay and the Musée de l'Orangerie, was appointed on Wednesday as the new president-director of the Louvre by French President Emmanuel Macron. On September 1, Des Cars will replace the museum's leader of eight years, Jean-Luc Martinez, who had been seeking a third term but had recently come under fire while seeking reappointment. Martinez, a trained archaeologist from a working-class background, became director in 2013 after a long reign by upper-class art historians. Des Cars' nomination appears to be a return to this tradition. Descended from a French noble family of writers, she is a specialist in 19th-century painting. Read FULL Article here... |

| | HOW IMAGES OF NATURE BRING US JOY
In March 2020, as the world was acclimatising itself to the pandemic, David Hockney released an image of bright yellow daffodils titled "Do remember they can't cancel the spring". In the midst of such fear and uncertainty it offered a much-needed burst of optimism, reminding us all that nature, with its continuing cycles of rebirth and renewal, could still offer hope. Hockney has long appreciated the natural world, both for its aesthetic inspiration and therapeutic qualities: "We can only replenish ourselves by looking at nature," he has said. It is a viewpoint many of us have come to share over the past year as we have taken long walks to calm our racing minds. The results can be tangible; a mere 20 minutes in a natural environment has been proven to lower stress levels. Even looking at images of nature can induce some of the same effects, so it is perhaps no surprise that visitors have been flocking to Hockney – Van Gogh: The Joy of Nature at The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.
