Marc Jacobs' Muse, and also one of the brightest directors and script writers of our times; from Virgins Suicide, Marie Antoinette to Lost in Translation, Sofia Coppola transformed her films into an aesthetic feast and deep rumination on urban tales and fantasies.

Here is an NY Times article on Sofia Coppola's Paris, and her flickr photo pool.

1. above is my new acquisition:)

2. since exams finished i travelled, took photographs, visited numerous galleries, ate around town, walked and read. the more i go out and experience different things - the less eager i readily write about these wonderful encounters.

Vast in scale (though not always in size), lush and rigorous in color, his cutouts are among the most admired and influential works of Matisse's entire career. They belong with the grandest affirmations of the élan vital in Western art... for a great introduction to Matisse's cut outs see here.

He is one of the greatest artists of our times.
