Cristina Gevorgyan's insight:

Erwin Blumenfeld (1897 – 1969) was a famous American photographer of German origin.In the 1930s, he published collages mocking Adolf Hitler. In 1936, he emigrated to Paris. With the German occupation, he was interned in a concentration camp in 1940 because he was Jewish. In 1941, he could escape to the USA.In the 1940s and 1950s he became famous for his fashion photography, working for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and also for artistic nude photography. In the 1960s, he worked on his autobiography which found no publisher because it was considered to be too ironic towards society, and was published only after his death.
Early in his career he was involved with the Berlin Dadaist group that was important as the First World War ground to an end. He worked in photography in Amsterdam and by the 1930‘s was gaining a reputation for his experimental nude studies. The work he is most highly praised for are his surreal images that were highly influenced by Dadaism and the Surrealist movement.

26 Adorable & Cute Doodle Artwork For Your Inspiration

26 Adorable & Cute Doodle Artwork For Your Inspiration | Best of Design Art, Inspirational Ideas for Designers and The Rest of Us | Scoop.it

How many of us stand guilty of doodling during meetings or lectures? Doodling has become synomous with day-dreaming as depicted by the media in movies, TV shows and even cartoons. At first glance, it does seem that doodling has a negative connotation equating to being distracted from the main activity at hand. You aren’t paying attention on what you’re supposed to be focused on, because it bores you. As a result, you miss out details of the meeting or lecture and eventually regrets not paying attention to it. But there’s a plus side to doodling: when we doodle, we do itsemi-consciously. This subconsciousness is how we actually access our most creative self and come up with brilliant ideas for even our most troubling problems.

As you shall see in the following 26 awesome doodles, creativity knows no boundaries with doodlers. Doodling has gotten so popular that some has come to terms with it as doodle art. It’s about time we recognize the unlimited creativity that doodling has access to, I would say.

These photos were shot all around the World by the most professional photographers. Photography genre in which the artist makes a photograph of a concept or idea. Usually the conception of the idea precedes the realization of the photography.

Photography is always about capturing the meaning, significance and essence of a moment in time, however, conceptual photography takes this idea to the extreme, by capturing a thought, idea, or message to the viewer and communicating it in a clever and interesting method. The idea is already there in the mind, all the elements required to convey that idea is setup up an then that perfect photograph conveying the concept, big or small, comes alive. Many a times, computers are used to give the picture its final touch, but still many photographers prefer the old style in getting the real life on to the camera. Conceptual photography brings up the creative side of the photographer.

Oscar-winning studios Breakthru Films and Trademark Films created the world’s first feature-length painted animation “Loving Vincent“, isnpired by the life and controversial death of renowned artist Vincent Van Gogh. The story is told by his paintings and by the characters that inhabit them.

“Every frame in the Loving Vincent movie is an oil painting on canvas, using the very same technique in which Vincent himself painted.

The intrigue unfolds through interviews with the characters closest to Vincent and through dramatic reconstructions of the events leading up to his death.

Loving Vincent features over one hundred and twenty of Vincent Van Gogh’s greatest paintings. The plot, drawn from the 800 letters written by the painter himself, lead us to the significant people and events in the time leading up to his unexpected death.”
