Still Life 120 illustrations

Victoria Charles

Summary

Cézanne transformed a teacup into something alive, raising still-life to the point that it ceased to be inanimate. Wassily Kandinsky said about the French artist: “He painted these things as human beings because he was endowed with the gift of divining the inner life in everything.” In addition to those of Cézanne, this book is devoted to still-life paintings by artists such as Van Gogh, Matisse, Chardin and Picasso.

She refused and was terminated, but she later won a $600,000 settlement from the company.* A woman in Hardwick, Georgia, divorced her husband on the grounds that he "stayed home too much and was too affectionate."* A couple started divorce proceedings after 90 minutes of marriage.* A Norwegian woman hid a ring in her boyfriend's porridge to propose marriage to him, but he accidentally ate the ring. Fortunately, he accepted the proposal anyway.* In Whitesville, Delaware, it is illegal for a woman to propose to a man.* A European survey revealed that one in nine people admit to sending themselves Valentine's Day cards.Once again, Leland Gregory finds the absolute best and funniest anecdotes and one-liners that will have readers rolling with laughter at the amorous antics of idiots in love.
