🎩Charlie Chaplin (5)

 Charlie Chaplin had four wives, but about only one he wrote: “She is not only my love, my wife and the mother of my children. She is my refuge."
He met aspiring actress Una O'Neill during a casting for his new film. She was 18, he was 54.
Daughter of a Nobel laureate, Jerome Salinger's first love. She was friends with Jacqueline Kennedy and Truman Capote.
Thin, with huge black eyes that filled half of her face and a radiant smile, she became the prototype for the main character of the novel “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
Chaplin was conquered - they got married just six months later. She gave up her career to devote herself to home and family.
They had 8 children. The last one appeared when Chaplin was 73.
“One evening I saw my parents dancing an impromptu tango all alone in the living room. He didn't take his eyes off her, and she didn't take her eyes off him. Noticing me, my father joked: “She took away the best years of my life!” - recalled their son Michael.
Charlie became completely paralyzed at the age of 85. Una refused the help of nurses and took everything upon herself: “When I was young, Charlie took care of me. Now it’s my time to look after him.”
Every day, in any weather, she put him in a wheelchair, wrapped him in a blanket and took him for a walk to the embankment.
An unequal marriage with a difference of 36 years, in which no one believed, lasted 34 years. Charlie Chaplin died at 88, Oona survived him by 14 years and never remarried.

 🖌️🎨Veneta Docheva (born 1974) - Bulgarian watercolor artist. Clarity of lines and freedom of color Favorite materials: Escoda brushes, flat Chinese brushes; Saunders Grain Fin paper, Arches Rough, Mijello watercolor. Veneta Docheva was born in 1974 in Sofia. She studied painting on her own. Here is how Veneta tells about herself: "There was only one decent art school in Sofia. I really wanted to go there. I got a "C" on the first exam, decided that I wouldn't get in anyway at this rate, and helped all my "competitors" during the watercolor exam - I painted their works. By the way, I passed the watercolor exam with flying colors. But I was never accepted into the art school. I was upset and gave up drawing for about ten years. After high school, I entered the law faculty. When I was 22-23 years old, I went with my parents to an exhibition of an artist who began painting at the age of 50. We bought one of his paintings, talked, and he said that he believed...

🗿 Louis Sussmann-Hellborn (1828-1908) was a German sculptor, artist, and collector. Marble "Sleeping Beauty" (German: "Dornröschen") 1878 Alte Nationalgalerie Berlin The name of Hellborn's sculpture seems to have been lost in history, but in 1878, when he created this piece, he was in fact an established artist and a prominent figure in Berlin, with enough money to sponsor the arts (he was one of the founders of the Royal Museum of Decorative Arts) and to create large marble sculptures like this one. The sweet image of Sleeping Beauty, surrounded by delicate branches of roses, rests in a luxurious marble chair, where the German sculptor Louis-Sussmann Hellborn placed her more than a hundred years ago. A metal spindle stands out at the girl's feet, reminding us that it was this that led her to this terrible fate. The dress and chair are entwined with roses, because the girl has been sleeping for a century. While Beauty slept, Germany was awakening from a rec...

🗿Eddy Roos (Amsterdam, born 1949) is a Dutch artist and sculptor

Зображення
 🗿 Eddy Roos (Amsterdam, born 1949) is a Dutch artist and sculptor. He has also directed 42 dance films and designed gardens. The former curator of the Groningen estate, Mrs. Tine Clevering-Meijer, invited the sculptor from Amsterdam (Hogelande) to implement her ideas in the form of such a sculpture garden in the estate. Eddy Roos cherished the dream of his own sculpture garden, enchanted by the sculpture garden of Aristide Maillol in the Louvre in Paris. He was also attracted by the example of Brancusi, who realized a similar project in a Romanian town, which attracted him more. Since 1967, Mrs. Clevering has been redesigning the landscape garden around the estate, dating back to the 13th century and belonging to the Ommeland family Tjarda van Starkenborgh. A garden was laid out on the estate. The gardens that the 16th-century architect Vredeman de Vries introduced in the Northern Netherlands were taken as an example. Roos developed a balanced project to accommodate thirteen bron...
