Cher - The Farewell Tour
Studio: Image Entertainment Release Date: 08/12/2008
If her 2002 tour really was her last--and after being "an evil frickin' diva for 40 frickin' years," as she puts it, she just might mean it--Cher has definitely left us something to remember her by. In the course of this 92-minute concert (plus loads of extra features), she wears enough different costumes and wigs to outfit a small (if rather odd) town, surrounds herself with dancers and acrobats galore, shows clips from her old TV series, and even plays all the roles in a delightful mini-version of West Side Story (one of the extras). Oh, and she sings too, covering everything from the Sonny & Cher years to her early solo career and her renaissance as a disco diva via "Believe." Bottom line: The Farewell Tour is a dynamic, sometimes silly, always entertaining show. As Cher herself notes, Britney, J-Lo, and all the others have a tough act to follow. --Sam Graham
Avec William Merritt Chase (1849.1926), nous sommes au c?ur de l’art romantique et academique, l’epoque de l’impressionnisme en somme. Aux Etats-Unis, nous baignons en peinture avec Cassatt, Sargent (pour lequel on le compare beaucoup pour ne pas le denoncer comme honnete « imitateur ») ou ce cher Whistler avec lequel on pourrait lui trouver parfois quelques affinites dans les touches « japonisantes » (ils etaient amis par ailleurs). On le dit egalement beaucoup influence par le peintre belge Alfred Stevens. Eclectique, prolifique sont aussi des qualites qu’on lui a largement attribue car cet artiste americain etait capable de tout peindre : portraits, nus, scenes du quotidien, paysages, natures mortes, dans des tonalites depouillees ou luxuriantes, sombres ou colorees selon le theme. Il y en a pour tous les gouts. William M.C. savait aussi travailler sur tout type de supports (huile, pastel, encre).
::: On lui reconnait deux formes essentielles de palettes et d’inspirations selon deux periodes de sa vie : la premiere rayonne de portraits elegants, style etudie a l’Academie de Munich entre 1872-1877. La seconde, suite aux annees 1890, a des scenes de Long Island inspirees de l’impressionnisme francais qui ont aussi largement contribue a sa reputation et son basculement notoire pour l’impressionnisme.
::: Il y aurait encore deux trois petites choses a retenir de son parcours : il fut president de la Society of American Artists (dont il demissionnera en 1902), il deviendra membre du groupe dissident des Dix –The Ten) apres la mort de John Henry Twachtman.
::: Et enfin a noter que William Merritt Chase fut aussi le professeur de l’illustre Edward Hopper (1882-1967).
With William Merritt Chase (1849.1926), we are at the heart of academic and romantic art, the era of Impressionism in fact. United States, we are immersed in painting with Cassatt, Sargent (for which many compared to not denounce him as honest "imitator") or the dear Whistler with whom he could find some similarities in some cases the keys "japanese" (they were friends elsewhere). It also says much influenced by the Belgian painter Alfred Stevens. Eclectic, prolific are also qualities that he has been widely attributed for this American artist was able to paint everything: portraits, nudes, scenes from everyday life, landscapes, still lifes, in tones skinned or lush, dark or colored depending on the theme . There's something for everyone. William C. knew also work on any type of media (oil, pastel, ink).
He recognizes two basic forms of pallets and inspirations into two periods of his life: the first portrait radiates elegant style studied at the Munich Academy between 1872-1877. The second, following 1890's scenes of Long Island, inspired by French Impressionism who also contributed to its reputation and notorious for tipping Impressionism.
There would be two or three things to remember from his career: he was president of the Society of American Artists (which he resigned in 1902), he will join the splinter group of the Ten The Ten) after the death of John Henry Twachtman.
::: And finally, note that William Merritt Chase was also the teacher of the famous Edward Hopper (1882-1967).
Brunas, sur le Larzac ... un peu de mon coeur y est resté !
Sur ce bout du Larzac ... tout au dessus de Millau,
Des hommes s"envolent et imitent les grands oiseaux,
Pour prendre le vent de leurs ailes deployees,
Tout la haut, sur ce beau plateau ils sont montes ....
D'autres hommes y montent pour t'admirer, toi, Viaduc!
De Millau, l'on doit lever les yeux ou se casser la nuque
Pour t'examiner, te photographier, louer ta beaute ...
Mais d'ici, te voila plus petit, dans cette grande vallee!
D'autres encore m'ont precedee sur ce chemin sauvage
Pour respirer, se poser , et jusqu'au soir y mediter ...
Comme moi, certains se sont laisses prendre par ce lieu,
Comme moi, ils y ont aussi laisse d'eux meme un peu ...
Un ami jusqu'ici m'a amenee, m'a guidee vers cet endroit.
J'ai aime y rester longtemps ... avoir comme lui ce meme droit,
Celui de voir le ciel courir et se charger d'intenses couleurs,
De voir ce lieu se transformer en un espace magique pour le coeur.
Oui, tant de choses m'ont envahie, des emotions jusqu'a la nuit
En pensee, mon ami, tu etais a mes cotes et regardais aussi ...
De ce Larzac je suis redescendue, mais pas tout a fait ...
Mes yeux et mon coeur a cet endroit sont lies a jamais !
Merci cher ami de m'avoir permis de suivre tes traces,
De decouvrir ce merveilleux endroit et ce moment de grace
Que tu as si souvent le privilege de visiter de ton regard,
En y grimpant tout essouffle, l'ame ravie de le revoir!
