Evergreen Beauties Parade
PARIS
26 December 2007
Christmas is undoubtedly associated with beautiful and richly decorated fir trees. Every year hundreds of them are installed in Paris to bring the spirit of holiday and fun to the French capital. They are particularly impressive at night when thousands of lights are on, illuminating everything around.
This year about 1000 evergreen beauties are placed in the city, concentrating mainly in the neighbourhood of the Champs-Elysees and the Place de la Bastille, although other districts of the capital also got their share of the fir trees.
All the fir trees are grown specially for the occasion in the Jura, so the tradition of installing fir trees in the city doesn't cause damage to the environment.

Odilon Redon: The Works
MUSEE DÂ’ORSAY
06 January 2008
Odilon Redon is a famous French painter. He started drawing as a young child, and at the age of 10 he was awarded a drawing prize at school. At age 15, he began a study in drawing but on the insistence of his father he turned to architecture. His failure to pass the entrance exams at Paris' École des Beaux-Arts ended his plans for a career as an architect. Redon returned to his native Bordeaux and got interested in sculpture. He was guided by Rodolphe Bresdin who instructed him in etching and lithography.
After the end of the war he moved to Paris, working almost exclusively in charcoal and lithography. In 1878 his work gained recognition and he published his first album of lithographs, titled Dans le Rêve in 1879. Still, Redon remained relatively unknown until the appearance in 1884 of a cult novel by Joris-Karl Huysmans titled, A rebours (Against Nature). The story featured a decadent aristocrat who collected Redon's drawings. In the 1890s he began to use pastel and oils, which dominated his works for the rest of his life.
Musee d'Orsay is hosting an exhibition devoted to Redon's creative work of the period until the 1890. The basis of the exhibition are fine charcoal sketchings. Famous as well as little known works are on display.
