Caravaggio was not always a ‘trendy’ artist. Before museums dedicated exhibitions solely to him, before monographs were written by art historians, indeed before a bestselling non-fiction art-crime book was published about his lost painting, Caravaggio was reluctantly accepted by collectors in the US as an artist primarily associated with genre painting, and nothing much more. (Genre painting is the depiction of every day life).
William-Adolphe Bouguereau was considered the best painter in the world during his lifetime, but he also “considered teaching his sacred duty.” In fact, he taught at multiple places during his lifetime, both in his own private atelier (artist’s studio) and in the ateliers of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Académie Julian. He didn’t charge his students a high price for their tutelage; instead, they seemed to have worked off their debt to him by working as his assistants on his monumentous Salon paintings.

The Hood Museum of Art in Hanover, New Hampshire, is actually North America’s oldest museum in continuous operation. Dating back to 1772, it is owned and operated by Dartmouth College, and was founded just 3 years after the college itself. With nearly 65,000 objects in its permanent collection, this small museum boasts quite an impressive range of art. There’s a bit of everything, from Ancient Near Eastern reliefs, to American landscapes, to European paintings, and even some home furnishings.

Choosing an outfit is something that cannot be taken lightly. For some people, it is considered an event. In today’s society, individuals are very conscious about how they present themselves. After all, it is said that our clothes are an extension of our true selves. But a question will be, “How true is that statement? Do you choose the clothes you don daily?”
Most people will jump the gun and boldly declare that this is their style. But this is not the case. The truth is a trend forecaster already beat you to it. You have never met before but the idea of the outfit you are wearing now was planted years ago.
Focus on the “next big thing”
With all the kitchen and food movies and TV shows, it seems everyone wants to be the new Gordon Ramsay. Question is, can you be able to deal with the heat?

But you don’t have to be a professional chef. All you need is a few tips and tricks.
