Painters Charles Knight and John Singer Sargent
Charles Knight (1901 – 1990, English)
The extraordinary artistic skill and eye of John Singer Sargent....always fresh, alive and vital. Sargent also proved it's essential for an artist to travel and experience the beauty of diverse people in their natural habitats....and create work onsite.

Vogue: Reflecting the times
VOGUE's mission, besides selling designer merchandise, is to reflect the evolution of Human Culture as it is lived out by Affluent /Design Savvy women... always illustrated on the most attractive ( and more critically, super photogenic!) young models scouted globally. The Spring 15 issue of Vogue Nederlands showcases the mixed race family of model Doutzen Kroes in casually intimate domestic bliss.
Vogue continues to challenge narrow minded, bigoted individuals /communities who refuse to embrace the diverse reality of 21 Century Life.
The June 15 issue of Italian Vogue features a variety of Chinese models for their special China Issue,
Italian Vogue has been the most daring in addressing issues affecting the world culture, often shot by the ULTIMATE fashion enthusiast, photographer Steven Meisel and supported by the brilliant editor Franca Sozzani since 1988..
Vogue's embracing of the changing world of women's lives and images for a global audience continues to be a thrill ride of surprises.
Has Italian Vogue considered CAITLYN JENNER for a cover story?
Stay Tuned......lol
The first American Vogue cover with a black model...starring Beverly Johnson in 1974.
Anna Wintour has chosen to feature outstanding African American women from the world of entertainment, sports & politics on her covers of Vogue mixed in with the rare ( very rare) model cover.

Architectural masterpiece of Sleek Minimalism
House on the Cliff by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos
Fran Silvestre Arquitectos have designed a house on a cliffside near the Spanish town of Calp.
.
Project description
The extremely steep plot of land offers such spectacular sea views that it invites one to spend time, relax and do nothing.A piece is encrusted into the sloping land, maintaining its natural profile which is overshadowed by the house on top.Under the sunlight, the swimming-pool is closer to the sea and a quiet cove.In the point of inflection, the stairway posits an evocative journey, a garden on the basement…Considering the steepness of the land and the desire to contain the living area on one storey, a three-dimensional structure of reinforced concrete slabs and pieces that adapt to the land’s topography was chosen, thus reducing earthworks to a minimum. A horizontal platform is created by this stone-anchored monolithic construction on the level of access from the street, where the living area is located. The swimming-pool is located on a lower level, in a flat area of the site. The concrete construction has external thermal insulation with a flexible, smooth, white grout lime coating. The remaining materials, walls, flooring, roof ballasting… are in the same colour, underscoring the homogeneous character.
