The World &

How surreal art became fashion plates.By: Dagmar Fiction

Style of Fornasetti

Piero Fornasetti (10 November 1913 - 1988) was an Italian painter, sculptor, interior decorator and

engraver.

Combining whimsy and elegance, Piero Fornasetti (1913–1988) transformed

everyday objects like cups, scarves, and screens into works of art featuring his

idiosyncratic leitmotifs, such as the hand, the female face, and luminescent fish. Additionally, he created a wide range of works, including idealized architectural fantasy drawings, book designs, and provocative nudes, as well as the de-cor for the luxury liner Andrea Doria.

“Dear contemporaries, don’t you realise how different we are? Although I depict you as equals and like the ancients you never change.” -Piero Fornasetti

Perhaps most famous for dazzling pieces of trompe l’oeil furniture, For-nasetti was rediscovered in the 1980s

and has remained much sought-after by collectors worldwide. Featuring

2,800 illustrations, many never before published, the monograph is designed to

be an “artist’s book” that reflects as faith-fully as possible Fornasetti’s own approach

to design.

10 Reasons to Fall LoveDo we really need an excuse?

10. It makes you better-looking.This is not a joke. Believe it or not, falling in love can really make you look a lot better. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t care about your physical appearance, fall in love and see how you would change. When you’re in love, you will always try to look your very best not just to impress the one you love but also to feel good about yourself. You feel conscious about your outfit, your hair and your movements.Even when you don’t exert any ef-fort on improving your appearance, love really brings something magi-cal to its victims. When people are in love, they smile a lot. There is a certain glowing aura that people in love emit that radiates happiness.

9. It makes you nicer.How can you be mean to people around you when there is someone who makes every minute of your life wonderful? When people are in love, we tend to focus on our feel-ings for that lucky person and pay not much attention to other things, much less to the things that make our blood reach the boiling point. And because there is someone who makes us smile every time, it is hard to frown and make other people’s lives miserable. We tend to forget our bitter past and our plans of revenge in the future be-cause what matters is the present.

8. It makes you richer.It doesn’t mean that you should marry Donald Trump or some other billionaire. Even if you fall in love with an average guy, you have more chances of getting rich. This is because you are more inspired

to work and you have another reason to work hard. Intentionally or unintentionally, you will find yourself doing your job a little less exhaust-ing because the feeling of going home to someone you love keeps you through the day in a way that you don’t realize how much work you have done. This is true.

“Studies have shown that individuals in long-term committed relationships earn more than those who stay single. So if

you want to get rich, fall in love.”

7. It makes you healthier.When you’re in love, you care about yourself. It’s not just physical appearance, it is your overall well-being including your health. If you used to ignore that migraine you’ve been enduring for years, when you’re in love, there is a high chance that you would call your doctor for an appointment and schedule a check-up. You might even undergo tests that you have been putting off for the longest time like mam-mogram and PSA. When you’re in love, there is an intense urge to care for your health because you want to live long, because you have a good reason to. You want to live long not just for yourself but also for that special someone.If suicidal thoughts enter your mind all the time, you will forget about them altogether when you fall in love. You have a reason to live now and you know how your self-destruction makes him or her feel. And you don’t want him/her to be hurt, espe-cially not by you.

6. It makes you mushier.There’s nothing wrong with being mushy. It only means that you are sentimental and emotional. It only means that you care about how other people feel, especially the person you are in love with. If you have always thought that the lines uttered in those romantic movies are stupid, you will be surprised to find yourself in one, saying those mushy lines. It is alright. There is nothing unmanly about expressing how you feel and letting your sig-nificant other know how important he or she is to you. It is not a crime. Being mushy is not a crime.

ANGELES14

5. It makes you stronger.Although it can also make you weaker in certain ways, falling in love makes you stronger. How? First of all, sex is a good workout. Haha. Seriously, people in love want and try to be strong for them-selves and those we care for. We will do and endure anything to protect the person we love and give them what he or she wants. When we are sick, we want to get better fast so we can enjoy more time with him or her. We become stronger so we can catch them when they fall and lift them when their down. Being strong can also be interpreted in another way. Some people can take all the pain that love brings just so they don’t lose them. Even when they are hurt by factors ranging from differenc-es to third party to family, they choose to stay in the relationship because they are strong enough and they know that it will pass. Love is not easy to let go. If we can keep it, we will. Love is like that. It’s pleasure and pain rolled into one and it takes a lot of strength. Love is not for the weak-hearted.

4. It makes you wiser.

“Being in a relationship is not all about sunshines and

rainbows.” There are bad, depressing mo-ments, too. Although it is not a good reason to fall in love, it is not a reason not to, either. In fact, mis-takes are essential in love. Each mistake teaches you something important. Every time you make a mistake, you learn. And every time you learn, you become wiser. This enables you not to do the same mistakes again. Being wise means growing up. And it takes grownups to run a relationship.

3. It makes you more responsible.If your life is in disarray, you will set ev-erything straight when you’re in love. You will find a good job because you think of your future together. You will take good care of your finances. You will fix your relationship with your family. You will forget about your unfinished

business with your exes. You will even clean your room, which you haven’t done since you hit puberty. When you’re in love, your life develops a sense of direction.

2. It makes you more creative.When you’re in love, you think of new ways to take your

loved one’s breath away. You cannot do things over and over again or you will beth get tired. You will be

forced to come up with new, refreshing ways of say-ing “I love you,” of celebrating anniversaries, of let-

ting him or her know how you feel. In some cases, people find themselves learning or trying to do

things new to them like writing songs or doing something embarrassing. The funny part is, you don’t complain because you enjoy do-ing it. Weird, but you really do.Another way of being creative is when he

or she asks you where you have been last night. Yeah, that will really squeeze out

all the creative juices in you.

1. It makes you happier.When you’re in love, you will never find

yourself alone. You already have a partner to do things with and it’s not just sex. Yes, sex makes

people happy but it’s more than that. Simple activities can become fantastic when you do

it with someone, especially with the one you truly treasure. These things will make you happy and it will show big time. You’ll be surprised that you will see yourself smiling and laughing all the freaking damn time. You think about him or her, you smile. You see him/her walking, you smile. You

see him/her trip on her toe, you smile.

“When you’re in love, you always think positive.”

You can think of a million reasons not to but if you can find one good reason to fall in love, do yourself a favor and don’t suppress the feeling.

One of the items mentioned above is enough reason to experience the beautiful thing called

love. Combine all the reasons and it will only tell you one thing: Falling in love makes you a better person. The truth

is, you don’t need a reason to fall in love. In fact, when you’re in love

you don’t ask yourself why you love someone because you will never find an answer that

will suffice. You just fall. Why you love someone

doesn’t matter.

10Disney HallYears of the

Twist & Shout

Frank Gehry

ANGELES22

After his Guggenheim triumph, Gehry worked harder than ever, both in the

United States and around the world. For example, in 1999 he finished the alumi-num-covered office complex known as the Frank O. Gehry buildings, in Dussel-dorf, Germany. A year later, he unveiled the Music Experience Project in Seattle, Washington, a $100 million interactive rock and roll museum. Gehry returned to Los Angeles, however, to create what many claim is a masterpiece to rival the Guggenheim, the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The project had been in the works since 1987 when Lillian Disney (1899–1997), widow of American icon Walt Disney (1901–1966), decided to build a new hall to house the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The following year Gehry won the competition to design the hall, which was surprising at the time since he was still known as the weird architect who used chain-link fencing. When faced with his modern, spiraling designs, the ninety-year-old Disney was perplexed. Gehry won her over by showing her the inspiration for his design—a single white rose floating in a bowl of water. Work on the hall went in fits and starts, stalled over the years by earthquakes, riots, and a lack of funds. In 1997 Lillian Disney died, and many thought perhaps her dream died with her. That same year, however, the Guggen-heim opened and Gehry’s instant star status infused new life into the proposal. Funding came through, and fifteen years after he began, Gehry unveiled the finished hall in October of 2003. The structure looks like a cascade of shiny, metal ribbon unfurled against the sky.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic continues its reinvention of the

concept of a 21st-century orchestra under the vibrant leadership of Gus-tavo Dudamel. Embarking on its 92nd season in 2010/11, the Philharmonic is recognized as one of the world’s outstanding orchestras and is re-ceived enthusiastically by audiences and critics alike. Both at home and abroad, the Philharmonic is leading the way in innovative programming and redefining the musical experi-ence.

This view is shared by more than one million listeners who experience live performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic each year. The Philhar-monic demonstrates a breadth and depth of programming unrivaled by other orchestras and cultural institu-tions, performing or presenting nearly 300 concerts throughout the year at its two iconic venues: Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl, a popular summer tradition since 1922. The orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles also extends far beyond regular symphonic perfor-mances in a concert hall, embracing the schools, churches, and neigh-borhood centers of a vastly diverse community.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded by William Andrews Clark Jr., a multi-millionaire and amateur musician, who established the city’s first permanent symphony orchestra in 1919. The 94 musicians of the new ensemble met for their first rehearsal Monday morning, October 13 of that year, under the direction of Walter Henry Rothwell, whom Clark had brought from the St. Paul (Minnesota) Symphony Orchestra. Eleven days later, Rothwell conducted the orches-tra’s premiere performance before a capacity audience of 2,400 at Trinity Auditorium in downtown Los Ange-les. The audience heard Dvořák’s New World Symphony, Liszt’s Les Préludes, the Overture to Weber’s

Oberon, and Chabrier’s España.Rothwell remained the orchestra’s

Music Director until his death in 1927. Since then, ten renowned conductors have served in that capacity: Georg Schnéevoigt (1927-1929); Artur Rodzinski (1929-1933); Otto Klem-perer (1933-1939); Alfred Wallenstein (1943-1956); Eduard van Beinum (1956-1959); Zubin Mehta (1962-1978); Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-1984); André Previn (1985-1989); Esa-Pekka Salonen (1992-2009); and Gustavo Dudamel (2009-present).

Following its opening season in 1919/1920, the orchestra made Philharmonic Auditorium, on the northeast corner of Fifth and Olive, its home for the next 44 years. In 1964, the orchestra moved to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Los Angeles Music Center, which was its winter home until its final performances there in May 2003.

In October 2003, the doors to one of the world’s most celebrated venues — the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall — were opened and the Los Angeles Philharmonic took the stage in its new home, which has become known not only as a lo-cal cultural landmark, but also as

“…a sensational place to hear music... In richness of sound,

it has few rivals on the interna-tional scene, and in terms of visual drama it may have no rival at all.”

-The New Yorker

Praise for both the design and the acoustics of the Hall has been ef-fusive, and the glistening curved steel exterior of the 293,000-square-foot Walt Disney Concert Hall embodies the energy, imagination, and creative spirit of the city of Los Angeles and its orchestra.

Inspired to consider new directions, Gustavo Dudamel and the Philhar-monic aim to find programming that remains faithful to tradition, yet also seeks new ground, new audiences, and new ways to enhance the sym-phonic music experience. During its 30-week winter subscription season

of 110 performances at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Philharmonic creates festivals, artist residencies, and other thematic programs designed to delve further into certain artists’ or composers’ work.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic’s commitment to the presentation of music of our time is evident in its sub-scription concerts, the exhilarating Green Umbrella se-ries, and its extensive commissioning initiatives. Now in its 29th year, the Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, devoted exclusively to performing compositions on the cutting edge of the repertoire, attracts leading composers and performers of contemporary music.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association expands its cultural offerings by producing concerts featuring distinguished artists in recital, jazz, world music, song-book, and visiting orchestra performances, in addition to special holiday concerts and series of organ recitals, chamber music, and baroque music.

The Philharmonic has led the way into the digital age, with groundbreaking web and mobile device applica-tions. Through an ongoing partnership with Deutsche Grammophon, the orchestra has a substantial catalog of concerts available online, including the first classical music video released on iTunes.

Toxic BeautyThe price of looking good may be higher than you think

By: Mercedes Cambridge III

You’ve been dying to try that new shampoo that’s supposed to make your hair thick, lush and shiny. You can’t wait to use

that new exfoliating scrub because the label tells you that it’s going to make your skin soft and glowing. You love that new cologne; every time you wear it you get so many compliments on how great you smell!

You love these products and how they make you look and feel, but did it ever occur to you that what you put on your hair or your skin could make you sick? Did you know these products contain chemi-cals, toxins and hormones that can cause anything from an unsightly rash to learning difficulties to birth defects and even cancer? Even though each product may contain a limited amount of these toxins, please keep in mind, most people use several products each day, from the moment they wake up (soap, shampoo, conditioner, shave cream, deodorant, toothpaste, hand soap, make up) until they go to bed. After many years of daily use, these toxins accumulate in your body to cause the ailments I’ve listed above, among many others. If they cause these concerns for adults, just imagine the damage they can do to children who are smaller and weigh less. Although each product you may use may contain a restricted amount of chemicals, hormones and toxins, they can, and many times they do cause a myriad of damage to us all.

ANGELES26

“Not only are these beauty products toxic for humans, they are

toxic to the environment, as well.”

Many of these products are made with petroleum-based ingredients, which

contributes to global warming. Did you know that if you switch just one bottle of a

petroleum based product for a vegetable based product we could save 81,000 barrels of oil in one year. How’s that for incentive to switch?

So now you decide it’s time to go “green”, you go to the health food store and purchase “Or-ganic” or “Natural” products and you no longer have to worry about these concerns...or do you?
