Edgar Degas biography

New shots
July 19, 1834
September 27, 1917

Who is Edgar Degas?

Born in Paris on July 19, 1834, his real name is Hilaire Germain-Edgar De Gas.
Sensitive and has a dreamy character but at the same time determined, is immediately attracted by the humanities, father attraction helps to cultivate personal "lessons" of letters and art. About his character, the same Degas will describe this way: "I was or seemed as hard as everyone, a sort of impulse to the brutality that I was by my question and my bad mood. I felt so hurt, so naïve, so weak, and I thought that my calculations were so fair art. I held a grudge at all and even myself. "
The Degas mature was a loner, although sometimes he himself complained about this. Often lived locked up in his studio, totally taken from his job and his experiments with different painting techniques.
In his younger years, enrolled in high school, are becoming more prominent in him the inclinations to pure pictorial material, to the detriment of poetic and literary research. A strong signal of this provision it is when we learn that the young Degas was usually attend diligently the Cabinet des Estampes of the Biblioteque National, a place that allows him to get in touch with reproductions of old masters.
Not content to passively contemplate the wonderful works, begins to copy some of those prints: in essence, a study of artists such as Mantegna, Durer, Rembrandt or Goya.
Unfortunately, among the largest commitments to be met include the attendance at lectures to which participates as a freshman. But it is just a formality, because his mind runs only to images of great paintings or works to be carried out.
Begins to be pronounced stradauna creative urgency.
Degas soon leaves his studies to devote himself entirely to art. To a young man of that era were not great prospects in this regard, apart from adherence to forms and dictated by in-depth studies Academy of art so all-encompassing.
In 1854 he began to take lessons of Louis Lamothe, artist appreciated at the time, but today almost forgotten. Lamothe, a former student of Ingres, Degas able to convey the importance that Ingres drawing attached to.
In 1855 he met Edgar Degas even the maestro, settantacinquenne at the time, from which it receives this advice: "line Drawings, young man, so many lines, no matter if they are from memory or by nature".
Degas with courageous choice decides not to embrace the models proposed by the Academy, considered antiquated by him without creative force, but prefers to devote himself to the representation of what surrounds him, with great attention to life as well as in its raw took historical tension, although the painter will always try to grasp the more poetic aspects.
Could not miss a trip to Italy, home of great works and artistic elevation. Between the years 1856 and 1860, in the company of another great and visionary painter, Gustave Moreau, Degas visited Naples, Rome, Florence, Pisa and Siena.
If Italy is undoubtedly a source of profound artistic reflections, analysis and influence on pictorial sensibility, Degas is also looking for "other" items that are not covered in (tired?) Western tradition. Thus it concerns (a bit following the fashion of the time), at giapponeserie, and in particular to the most typical product of that figurative school: prints. These new and original drawing Eastern perspectives the infuse the belief that we can use figurative language in a different way, so less conventional and untied from the Western tradition and then fatally academic "perspective" and the "right" way of arranging objects and figures.
We must not forget that those are the years in which explodes like a thunderbolt a new invention will revolutionize the same conception of pictorial art: photography. From the latter, the study of the image of reality achieves after being filtered by the lens, Degas draws about transfer onto canvas part of that new concept, trying to catch himself those moments of reality blurred and difficult to grasp, that appear, at first glance like random snapshots, especially in spatial arrangement.
His paintings are taking shots then. In this sense, the paintings remain "Orchestra" (1869) and "limelight" (1876-77); Finally, with regard to photography, the contribution of this medium in his studies of horses in the race, where the artist works from 1861.
Not surprised by Degas interest for horses, as well as for more famous dancers (the poetics of representation which is the real reason to glory by Degas from the public). In fact, the movement of the horse, in its essential mystery (before the advent of the camera), represented an opportunity to study interesting and inexhaustible to capture the variety of poses of a body in action.
In those same years Degas Edouard Manet, knows the great subverter of good "customs" of the bourgeoisie that Visual after encouraged him to indulge his interest in the contemporary realities, introduces him to a group of young artists who would later become famous as the Impressionists.
Membership in a higher social class door though Degas and Manet to develop habits and interests different from those of other impressionists, who loved to paint outdoors, preferring the landscapes and a life tied to "bohème". The two artists like horse racing and share a passion for music, which leads them to attend theaters.
It is during these years that Degas faces often theatrical and musical subjects, although sometimes certain does not disdain the landscape.
It is worth noting that the only solo exhibition organized by Degas dates back to 1892, in which there appeared twenty-six "imaginary landscapes" which underline this difference in specificity compared to Impressionist colleagues.
"La lezione di danza", completed in 1875, is the first large painting dedicated to the dancers. His painting is done, artificial lights, movement studies. A statement of the same painter tells us these words: "painting is primarily a product of imagination, must never be a copy. The air that you see in the pictures is not breathable.
And speaking of Degas ' nudes, J.K. Haysmans, in 1889, wrote: "..." No longer flat and smooth meat, always nude goddesses, ... but it is just undressed meat, real, live, flesh touched by ablutions and his cold grits about to melt ".
In 1883 the death of his friend Manet hits him deeply, so much so that withdraws and isolates herself from the world. Progressive visual impairment results in a substantial crash of its production.
Edgard Degas dies in his hometown, now totally blind at the age of eighty-three years, the September 27, 1917.

If the answer is not in you, is here
September 27, 1998

Who is Google?

Google is a search engine. Google is the search engine. For some, Google is the Internet.
Even someone is used to say "the answer is within you. Or Google ".
Google's popularity is so great that it's been a few years since its inception which in English is born the verb "to google" (meaning "do a search on the web") and the verb "googeln" in the German language.
The word "Google" comes from googol, which refers to the number represented by a 1 followed by 100 zeros. the term was coined in 1938 by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician underage then Edward Kasner. The use of the word reflects precisely the will of Google to organize the immense amount of information that is available on the Internet.
The Google search engine was officially founded on September 27, 1998 (the company is instead founded on 4 September): fathers of the creature that would revolutionize the World Wide Web are Larry Page and Sergey Brin. The two boys are still students at Stanford University when they develop the theory that a search engine based on the mathematical analysis of the relationships between websites would produce better results than empirical techniques used up to that time.
On the basis of principles of "network theory", convinced that the pages cited with a greater number of links are the most important and deserving, decide to deepen their theory inside of their studies, with the Foundation for what will be their future activity.
In January 1996, Larry and Sergey are starting to collaborate in the construction of "BackRub" project of a search engine with which to analyze the links pointing to a site. The Stanford University funds seemed however not be sufficient to fund that project. Armed with patience and enthusiasm the young begin to explore University room in hopes of finding computers that you can borrow to build a large network. Larry (former electronics expert, at that time known among students for having built a printer using Lego pieces) takes on the task of creating a new type of server environment that uses common personal computers instead of expensive bodywork server. Sergey Meanwhile opens a sales office in search of buyers.
Larry and Sergey are working throughout the first half of 1998 perfecting their technology. Purchase various hard drives at bargain prices and build their computer in Larry's room (which can be considered the first data center Google!).
The first potential customers that Sergey's contact David Filo, a friend and founder of "Yahoo!". Strand agrees fully with the Mission of the project but pushes the two to develop it yourself without trying to sell it to others. Considered efforts to attempt to contact other existing search engines that sell the new technology, and given the poor attention received them that remains is to try it yourself.
Google Inc. opens in a garage in Menlo Park, California. Already google.com, in beta stage, answers questions for 10,000 per day. Printing starts to notice this engine with really relevant results: very positive items begin to appear on "Usa Today" and "Le Monde". In December, "PC Magazine", one of the top 100 Google sites and search engines of 1998.
The site-which engine in terms of simplicity did school (a logo, a search box and a button) is growing quickly: in February 1999 the narrow spaces of Menlo Park give way in favour of an Office on University Avenue in Palo Alto. Google now has 8 employees and 500,000 queries per day. As you would expect in these cases the interest in the airline grows: "Red Hat" (one of the leading companies in the field of Linux operating system) signs up with Google on his first contract for supplies of search services.
Little by little key figures (such as Omid Kordestani, Urs Hölzle) begin to fill the modest offices of the company. Removed the word "beta" on September 21, 1999, the company had become so great that once required a new seat. The company's headquarters in Mountain View, California, becomes, in the so-called "Googleplex".
At the end of 2000 Google responds to 100 million queries per day; It's time to look for new ways to provide access to their content wherever and whenever they want.
Hockey games in the parking lots, dogs and cooks who roam free among the desks, meetings around a ping pong table give a pretty good idea of how it works at the Googleplex.
In 2001 Eric Schmidt, former ceo of Novell and Chief Technology Officer of Sun Microsystems, becomes head of the Board of Directors at Google. Google learns new languages 40, doubles the number of indexed pages and expands the wireless world. Meanwhile, Larry Page and Sergey Brin become respectively President and President products technology.
Managed with private capital (major holders are Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequoia Capital), in October 2003 the Microsoft giant Bill Gates's attempt to gain Google but refuses the offer. At the beginning of 2004 is announced an initial public offering (by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group), which could reach 4 billion; This gives Google a market capital that is around 12 billion dollars.
Meanwhile, the company's expansion strategy has evolved to other areas; does not pausing only to web cataloguing, has produced (or bought existing producing companies) services of various kinds, from managing e-mail (GMail) to videos (YouTube, acquired in 2006) up to a new way of advertising (AdWords AdSense) that allows you to show ads on a site relevant to the content of the site.
On an article in Corriere della Sera, March 30, 2009 Massimo Gaggi writes:
"Some of the historians who argued yesterday that the 20th century September 11, 2001 is over, buried under the rubble of the twin towers, now begin to think that in the future the date that will be chosen as the boa that divides the second from the third millennium will be the September 27, 1998: the day when two students at Stanford who had rented for $ 1700 per month on a detached garage at 232 Santa Margarita's number Avenue in Menlo Park, in the heart of Silicon Valley, California founded Google.

Escaping the banality
September 27, 1984

Who is Avril Lavigne?

Born in Ontario, Canada, in the town of Napanee, on September 27, 1984, Avril Ramona Lavigne is now one of the most popular rock stars from the audience of adolescents for its independent character, a bit rebellious perhaps, but at the same time discreet enough.
Everything except the ordinary. This is the characteristic to keep in mind when describing Avril Lavigne. A free spirit, a wild girl, Avril is one of those rare creatures who are starting to make their voices heard and their personalities already around two years of life. A girl in a small town that in class you cannot curb, animated by a strong determination and the desire to break through, so much so that almost with his own strength, he left for New York City and Los Angeles to test his thirst for music. A 17-year-old fierce, with the right cards to achieve success.
"I want to be myself and my conviction make my way, write what I feel and not worry about other people's judgment, I wear what I want, recite what is best for me and sing what belongs to me and is closer to my sensibility".
Avril Lavigne has put these into practice his intentions in his debut album, "Let go" (2002), a disc that makes beautiful view of his vocal qualities, her crystalline voice and his lyrics, mirror of her generation and what is she really. "Anything but ordinary" is an ode to individuality, while the first single, "Complicated", is a song whose momentum rug makes the bad intentioned. "I'm with you" reaches the connection point with the softer side of Avril, but tracks like "Losing grip" and "Unwanted", courageously confronted topics like rejection and betrayal, with all the flurry of reactions that these topics carry within them. Then there's "My world" and the metaphorical "Mobile", which perfectly articulate the experience of Avril Lavigne.
"I have the great opportunity to fulfill my dreams: be everywhere, flitting from place to place, doing a thousand different things every day. This is my lifestyle and I'd hate for bored or being "normal".
Apparently Avril was born with all this unrest. A little girl who "always wanted to be the center of attention" and meant to leave his native Napanee, town of five thousand souls. "I always knew what I wanted to be," he said. "I remember when I was little I was standing on the bed pretending to be on a stage, singing their hearts out and imagining thousands of people crazy for my music."

On a trip to New York Avril Lavigne attracts the attention of Antonio "LA" Reid, who immediately realizes his extraordinary talent and puts it under contract with Arista. At 16 she moved to Manhattan and began working on his first CD, plunging without fear in the heart of the creative process. "I love writing. When I'm sad and I want to get rid of this mood, I my guitar. Sometimes I think my guitar is my therapist ".
Despite the great dedication during his stay in New York, Avril's initial efforts in the studio didn't seem to have much desired effects. "I started working with extraordinary people, but I still felt at ease. It was as if the songs I represent fully, "she admits. "I realized how much was a vital need for me to write my own songs, then my music from me. It's been pretty stressful, but I never wanted to give up. " Inspired by the compelling need to express herself in her music Avril change coast and flies to Los Angeles where he found that concentration and freshness of which feel needed.
In Los Angeles he met songwriter and producer Cliff Magness ... "I thought ... Yes, I found the right guy! We immediately understood, because it was for me a decent Guide; He really understood what I wanted to do and allowed me to express myself freely. " The songs "Let go" start to flow, with Magness at the helm and with the emerging team "The Matrix", whose previous works include songs for Sheena Easton and Christina Aguilera. Avril attaches to the Nettwerk Management, already at the helm of the careers of Sarah McLachlan, Dido, Coldplay, Barenaked Ladies and Sum 41.
His second work comes two years after the first and seems to confirm the talent of Canadian girl crazy teenagers of all continents: the title of the album is "Under my skin" and the single "don't tell me" is enthralling as few other songs featured in the panorama of international pop and rock of the period.
Avril Lavigne everytime he can't wait to play his music live. She jokingly points out that going on tour with his band, is not so different from what he did as a child. "I've always been a" bad boy "and I guess I am still. I played hockey in the cold seasons and baseball in the summer. Adored by sports guys. "
But the music of Avril Lavigne is able to both boys and girls, and of course, all those adults still animated by the spirit of adventure indeed, the reaction of the latter that want to provoke, awaken their latent desire for fun. "I can't wait to play live around the world! I want people to realize that my music is real, honest, which is straight from the heart. For me it's important to be yourself in what you do. "
At the end of September 2004 begins with a concert in Munich the first part of the new 32-stage world tour called "Bonez Tour", which will end on November 25 in Vancouver in Canada. At the end of 2004 the album will count more than 7 million copies sold.
