Art- Fadi Karnaby

the artist is a learned, experienced valuation of the end of the period the church of the Middle Ages retrieves Greek motifs symbolic themes for Christians. Atlas is used to include God, the pattern remains the same but its meaning changes.

The art that emerged after the collapse of the Carolingian Empire no longer emanates from a royal or imperial power more or less centralized, but the monastic communities. The economic and cultural centers are the cities most impoverished, frightened, but the abbeys.
It is for the greater glory of God that the artists work, and nothing is too good to celebrate it. The colors explode in the pages of manuscripts (the admirable Apocalypse of Saint-Sever), on windows, or tissue, which often come from Byzantium or the Islamic world. The capitals and statues are painted. Gold, ivory and precious stones adorn the reliquaries, sacred vessels or the bindings of the Gospels.
"Do not look in the Romanesque style unit said Danielle Gaborit-Chopin. Each artist seems to find a new expression. Each offers different solutions, which can lead to a masterpiece as a dead end. "
Is it possible to distinguish "local schools" "It would be pointless to release any strength of regional styles, since, within the same geographical area, different styles co-exist, says Ms Gaborit. There individualization of regional centers, but we can not really talk about regional schools. "It is certain, however, that this emerging company, being completely remodeled, broke with the previous period, that of the Carolingians, obsessed with maintaining their links with the late Roman Empire.
REFINED AND ALMOST BARBARIAN
Artists novels - which are far from being anonymous as is the tradition - yet have some common features. They ignore the reality and remain indifferent to the proportions. The size of the characters (or parts of the body such as hands) is a reflection of their symbolic importance. Because they do not try to translate the tangible reality and ignore the abstraction, the artists draw their inspiration from natural forms which they interpret, purify, to coincide with their feelings of religious mystery. In addition, they work freely from elements "reported", Byzantine, Islamic and ancient, sometimes pushing up the art of collage, combining all the findings, without complex, with strong momentum.
It appears from the Louvre with the idea of an art at once refined and almost barbarous. Some parts, such as reliquaries who complete the course of the show, reminiscent of "idols" of Africa. We find the same rejection of realism, the same symbolism, the same hieratic, the same salience of the sacred. In the Romanesque period, Georges Duby wrote in The Age of Cathedrals (Gallimard), art has "no other function than to offer to God the riches of the visible world, that allow the man to such gifts to appease the wrath of the Almighty and to win his favor. All great art was then sacrifice. It is less aesthetic than the magic. " And he adds: "How Christianity, one thousand, prostrate in front of shrines, have dared to focus on what Christ was human? "
Finally, the Romanesque, says the historian, is a way of initiation. It is responsible for translating into simple shapes the harmonic structure of the world. It is a revealing: "Art is a discourse on God, as the liturgy and music. "That's why it proceeds by symbols. That the objects are monument, painting or piece of jewelry, carved or painted, all "present the world a gloss, a clarification." Their forms were not addressed to the crowds, insists Duby, but close elite. If the novel sometimes plays art pedagogy, "for education remained marginal in the artistic creations of that time: it is an aesthetic closed, inward-looking, made for the" pure men ". "
Ms. Gaborit unique challenges this bias. "While it is true that at that time, the art comes out of the whole Church, which is the only force grown, large ears of the religious buildings are real lessons given to the faithful. The lives of saints painted on the walls of shrines play the same role. There is a real education. Furthermore, reliquaries were out in processions, for the holidays, they run the emulation of the faithful. It is certain, however, that there are two levels of reading in Roman art: immediate access to the largest number, and a hidden message which is addressed to the elite. But this need to reach the faithful is more noticeable than the Gothic period, when art will emanate from the royal court. "
Emmanuel de Roux: Article published in World of 3/17/05 on "Romanesque art, or the flowering of a new world," March-June 2005 Louvre Museum

French art in the Gothic (Ernest Renan)
"The Gothic style thus appears as a purely French art. He was born with France, at the very center of French nationality in this country prosperous and rich that emerged the first Germanic fertility, was the cradle of the Capetian dynasty, and collected before any other benefits. It was, as stated by M. Viollet-le-Duc, the architecture of the royal domain. Mainly under the influence of French royalty and the Abbey of Saint-Denis, this country, in the eleventh and twelfth centuries was the scene of a great awakening of the human spirit, a kind of rebirth, which resulted in poetry by the epics, philosophy, the emergence of scholasticism, in politics by the movement of Commons and the administration of Suger in Saint Bernard and religion by the crusades. Gothic architecture, or rather, the movement of construction when it came out was the product of the same causes. As for municipalities, it was probably not a fortuitous circumstance that made ​​their school to coincide with the architectural renovation. The church at that time, had inherited the forum and basilica old, was the venue of the meetings calendar, and, indeed, they are common to towns, Noyon, Laon, Soissons, raising the first cathedrals Gothic.
That nothing, neither Italian nor German, not to meddle in this first revival all French of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, so sadly stopped in the fourteenth, which is, for architecture, is a certainty. Hundred years at least the pointed style remains the exclusive property of France. The Rhine is still covered in Romanesque buildings, when the masterpieces of the Gothic style were already high in northern France. England was the Gothic churches built in the twelfth century, but by the French. In 1174, the rebuilding of Canterbury Cathedral has been decided, they opened a competition: it was William of Sens, famous for great work, which was chosen, and the choir began in the new system that already existed exclusively in France . In the thirteenth century, countless master masons who wore this style to the borders of Latin Europe were French. The first non-French Gothic architect whose name is known is Erwin of Steinbach (1277). In Germany, until the fourteenth century, this style is called "French style", Op francigenum, and that's the name he should have kept. Unfortunately fate which deprived France of the glory of his epics can be found here. The narrow mind which dominates from St. Louis, the violence of the Inquisition, the miseries of the Hundred Years War, put out in our engineering. Strasbourg and Cologne schools become the style that we had created. France sees in turn to her foreign artists. The French style is said to German Italy called Teutonic, then, by a misunderstanding of the most bizarre claim is absurd to designate the name of Gothic. Remember that the barbarians were mainly known in Italy by the Goths. Gotico became synonymous with Barbaro, and a legend represented the Goths as fantastic beings bent on the destruction of Roman monuments, they were hammered overnight. In their disdain for this architecture, which did not conform to Greek orders, and was deeply repugnant to them, the Italians of the sixteenth century called it gotica, and this name was more easily accepted by the seventeenth-century France , the word Gothic was taken into French, as a result of Italian influence, like a shade (Gothic script, the Gothic period, etc.).. From there to say that the Goths had invented this style, there was only one step: the Vasari crosses, and now this nonsense is not yet uprooted history of Italy.
How extraordinary that style was formed, which, for nearly four hundred years covered Latin Europe building footprints so deep originality? The learned and judicious research that I remembered just now solved the issue. The old assumptions, and an Eastern influence, and a Germanic origin, and a so-called type Xyloid (wooden architecture) must be totally abandoned. The Gothic style emerged from a novel by natural growth, or if we prefer, by the work of men of genius firing an inflexible logic consequences of the art of their time: it was the continuation of an earlier style, founded around 1000 and deducted himself of the laws that previously had chaired in the West for the construction of Christian temples.

The art and spiritual life- Fadi karnaby

"Art is the organization of sensory impressions, which expresses the sensitivity of the artist and communicates to its audience a sense of values ​​that can change their lives" . Using its own definition, Sangharakshita explores the relevance of art and the artist for personal and spiritual evolution of man.



The Buddha by Odilon Redon
Through art we mean all the arts. We take this term to cover painting, sculpture, poetry, music, architecture, etc.. And the spiritual life we ​​mean the whole process of higher evolution. In this regard, I must admit that I am not very happy with the word 'spiritual'. When I was writing down the track list for these readings, I really hesitated before writing the word and spirit of art and spiritual life, because I know that for many people the word spiritual has a bad connotation. When we speak of spiritual life people begin to believe in spirits and spiritualism and turntables and voices from beyond and shapes and appearances. So I could not help but think it is better to avoid the word spiritual. Unfortunately, there is no one in everyday language equivalent term for the word spiritual. I thought perhaps we could begin to popularize the term 'meta-biological' I had already used. I know it's a bit long, meta-biological, but the month has the merit of covering all the higher manifestations of the human spirit, not only art but also religion and philosophy.
So when we talk about art and spiritual life, or art and higher evolution, we are not suggesting that these are really two separate things. Not that you have art on one side and the spiritual life of another. The art here and the spiritual life there, rather superficially united by that little word "and". Not that art and religion are in a superficial relationship. We can even say that art is included in the spiritual life, the arts are just one aspect or manifestation of the higher evolution as such. It does not mean, of course you can not live a spiritual life, can not participate in the higher evolution of humanity, without being an artist. It does not mean it, but it means we can not be an artist without participating in the same time to the spiritual life, the evolution later. To the extent that is an artist, a true artist, a genuine artist of any discipline, is involved in the higher evolution of man.
Now I'm sure this idea is not obvious to most people. They could see it as an unnecessary glorification of the artist, and even they may not agree at all. We know that people generally have little regard for art and the artist. In truth they do not see too much, not compared with other more important things, other activities that really matter. Many people have a tendency to have a contemptuous gaze on the arts and the artist and think that the artist deals with things rather trivial, not the "real man's job". In this context, I remember a little story, I think of the autobiography of Sir Osbert Sitwell, who is a long work in several volumes, very prolific, but contains some very good stories well told. Perhaps you know that Sitwell was one of those very, very bright family where almost everyone seems to be a genius and all your brothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, uncles etc.. are geniuses - it must be a wonderful way to grow. So you Osbert and Sacheverell and the famous Edith, all currently living together when they were young in this huge old dilapidated family home, one lives in a wing, the other in another wing, with one kilometer of corridors them with many servants. Then, as reported by Osbert Sitwell, one morning he wanted to communicate with her sister Edith in her wing to her. So it sounds to call a maid and gives her a little note, saying: Give the paper to my sister if she is not busy. But if she does something, do not give, do not disturb. Just come right back and tell me: when a quarter of an hour later, after crossing all lanes in both directions, the maid comes. Sir Osbert and ask him you gave him the message? "She said, oh yes. My sister was not doing anything? Oh no, she did nothing at all, she was just writing. So it 's is often the attitude when you are writing or painting, or if you do something of this sort, you do nothing really.
In light of this sort of common misconception on the theme of arts in general, so try to go a little deeper into this whole subject, and try to see how or in what sense the art is part of spiritual life, the higher evolution of man. And also how the artist is, in fact, the new man? Now it will require a consideration of the question of what is art? But we put it aside for now and we will observe the artist as a new man, the artist regarded as sharing the characteristics of the new man.
The new man is distinguished by five characteristics. Surely there are many more, but apparently they are more clearly recognizable. The characteristics are the awareness of self, true individuality, creativity, loneliness and unpopularity common. So take a break before returning to the question of what is art and look briefly at how we can apply the five characteristics of the new man to the artist, he is a poet, painter, sculptor or musician etc.

Desperate act of a collector-Fadi Karnaby

Desperate act of a collector who feels the wind change and does not know what artist invest, or exciting new publicity stunt? Charles Saatchi does not speak. In twenty years, he has granted interviews to the press are extremely rare and asthenic. And it seems to encourage merchants, artists, galleries, museums, to stay as discreet as possible. Apart from art critics, very few are willing to talk about the man. Christie's, the deputy director of the department of contemporary art, Pilar Ordovas, prefers to talk the market in general rather than to Saatchi in particular. Same reluctance at the Tate Modern, or in London gallery: the director of White Cube, Jay Jopling, we stated that it " does not wish to speak on the subject. " Yet the two men were close associates for more than twenty years.
Fadi Karnaby Says
The story of Charles Saatchi is a novel. Born into a Jewish family in Baghdad in 1943, his parents emigrated to Britain four years later and settled on the heights of Hampstead area of the intelligentsia refined and Easy London. As a teenager, this admirer of Elvis Presley collecting comics and jukeboxes. In 1970, the London psychedelic, he founded with his brother Maurice their company, Saatchi & Saatchi. In ten years, she became one of advertising's most famous in the world. In the late 70's, they have six hundred offices worldwide.
In 1973, during a stay in Paris with his first wife, the American art critic Doris Lockhart, he bought his first work, realistic painting and signed by the Columbia Urban David Hepher. However, his job leaves him little time to run the gallery. Five years later, the Conservative party contacts the Saatchi brothers for the election of Margaret Thatcher. A vivid image, an endless line of unemployed people under the slogan "Labour does not work." The British do not re-elect the Labor government of the time. However, this long line of unemployed people has never existed. Saatchi photographed a couple of young conservative supporters, and the images superimposed to create the impression of a huge file ...
Disappointed that he helped bring to power, Charles is involved in contemporary art and opened his first gallery in 1985, a large warehouse in North London, between St. John's Wood and Swiss Cottage. There he discovered artists like Jeff Koons, Richard Serra, Bruce Nauman and the famous YBAs, the Young British Artists of which he has won most of the works they leave college. It shows for the first time sliced ​​shark preserved in formaldehyde by Damien Hirst and a molded frozen head by sculptor Marc Quinn, made ​​of eight liters of his own blood and kept in a cooler transparent. Saatchi bought 13,000 pounds in 1991, he sold it 1.5 million pounds in 2005.
His gallery is too small to display all the artists large. He convinced the venerable Royal Academy to mount a coup. We are in 1997, the exhibition called "Sensation." Protesters camped in the courtyard of the museum for days. Ignite the tabloids. The Daily Mail as: "For over a thousand years, art is one of our great strengths. Today, sheep formalin threaten to make us barbarians. " The visitor discovers the artist Tracey Emin and his tent titled Everyone I Have Ever Slept with 1963-1995, in which his nude photo next to the names embroidered on the canvas, all her lovers and the two babies she aborted. Chris Ofili and the Black Madonna, portrait of a woman sprinkled with dried elephant dung, is also about him. Not to mention the Chapman brothers and mannequins of children with eyes, mouths, noses and ears have been replaced by rectum and penis. "Sensation" been around the world. The reputation of the Young British Artists is made, the fortunes of Saatchi too.

Market Activities and Directly Tourism - Fadi Karnaby

Market activities directly tourism - accommodation other than private, restaurants, cafes and bars, leisure and services arranging travel and tours (agencies, tourist offices, tourist offices ..) - products and services to stay -
Private accommodation, food, local services (transport, Hair, communication products and services ...), devices -transportation between home and place of stay, advance purchase for travel, exhibitions ... - And the products and services consumed by local customers' non-tourism "are the consumer
tourism. in fadi karnaby words

 
But this content is already expanded, does not highlight the role stimulating and structuring of tourism: one speaks at this stage effect multiplier due to  increases in income, therefore consumption and therefore economic activity. We see here a first characteristic of tourism, assumption of this study: the
Tourism is today and especially in the context of North-South cooperation, underestimated in its capacity development land, job creation, business and systems local production, service creation and openness to other cultural models. As it is in its adverse effects on cultures, social relations, the shift in values ​​and the integrity of natural heritage.

 
A second characteristic of this sector is an even Incomplete its environmental footprint and social transport long distance - strong pollutants - in a separate accounting, not are not included in tourism statistics. an oversight very damaging that weighs heavily on the capabilities of this sector be simply responsible.

HellO Guys,
i am fadi karnaby .
I am again here to give you the detail information for tourism.



The terms "tourism" and "tourist" was used officially for the first time by the League of Nations to name the people who traveled abroad for periods of more than 24 hours. But the tourism industry is much older than that.

For there to be tourism, four key parameters must be met [ref. required]  :

   1. the taste of the exotic , the discovery of other cultures;
   2. money available for non-essential;
   3. free time;
   4. infrastructure and secure means of communication and facilitating the travel and stay.

English in the Roman countryside.

The term "tower" became popular in Britain in the XVIII th  century when the "  Grand Tour of Europe "(Grand Tour of Europe) became a part of the education of young British gentlemen and rich. To complete their education and escape the bad weather of their native island, many young people went all over Europe but especially in places of cultural interest and beauty as Rome , the Tuscany or the Alps , and the European capitals.

Number of British and European artists from the XVI th  century were the "traveled to Italy," such as Claude Lorrain . If Rome , Naples and Florence has long attracted foreign visitors, is the influence of Romantic poets like Lord Byron and William Blake who rendered the countryside, the Alps, torrents and mountain gorges, popular.

The British aristocrats of the XVIII th  century particularly crazy about the "Grand Tour", taking the opportunity to discover the artistic and archaeological treasures of Italy in particular, and accumulate art treasures from all over Europe. They played a leading role in the birth of the archeology , the discovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum , among others. They brought works of art and in quantities unequaled elsewhere in Europe , this explains the current wealth of many public and private collections in Britain. Tourism of that time was fundamentally elitist, leisure travel and training that allowed to meet his counterparts across Europe.

Tourism in the modern sense did not develop before the XIX th  century  and it is these days most of the tourism industry.

The beginning of the industrialization of tourism was a British invention the XIX th  century, including the creation of the first travel agency by Thomas Cook . This meets the growing need for travel, for whatever reasons, the British , whose country was the first European country to industrialize. Initially, only the owners of the means of production, factories, traders and the new middle class benefited from free time, but also to increased travel desires, such as visiting the world fairs (the first world exhibition held in London in 1851 and attracts several million visitors).

Tourism diversifies during the XIX th  century, leisure travel, business travel, spas , research from the sun to the cold season, particularly to treat tuberculosis , a scourge of the time.

The British origin of this new industry is attested by many names:

    * to Nice , the long esplanade along the sea is still known as the Promenade des Anglais  ;
    * in many tourist resorts in continental Europe, the luxury hotels have names like Hotel Bristol , Hotel Carlton or Hotel Majestic .

They are also British tourists who invented winter sports in Switzerland in the village of Zermatt . Before the arrival of tourists, the villagers of Zermatt just felt that their long snowy winter was a time when the best thing to do was stay away from the cold and make cuckoo clocks or other objects mechanical.

I am fadi karnaby . people say i am the expert of tourism and vacation  but i say i am here to help you.

The tourism is the act of leaving home, for personal reasons, for longer than 24 hours. Which may involve the use of a night with a hotel and possibly booking the ticket.

Initially only linked to leisure and health, tourism now includes also all the economic activities which the person uses while traveling unusual (transport, hotels, restaurants, bars, etc.)..

This may include, for example, a business (referred to as "business travel") or a pilgrimage religious ("Cultural Tourism"). One can also seek treatment in another country than where you live, this is known as medical tourism .

Practicing tourism also allows pausing in his schedule utility imposed by the need to earn a living.

The tourist is generally concerned with culture or landscapes he visits. This practice has long been the preserve of the wealthy who could afford to travel, to see remarkable buildings, works of art or taste other cuisines.

Tourism has spawned an industry where the middle class in Western countries ( Europe and to North America ) were able to start traveling. This is the general improvement in living standards that allowed people to spend more on leisure, especially in tourism, and considerable progress in transport (marine, rail and especially air).

For the WTO (World Tourism Organization), "Tourism is a movement out of its usual place of residence for more than 24 hours but less than 4 months, for purposes of recreation, professional purposes (business tourism) health or purpose (health tourism). "
