Joseph Le Tessier

Joseph Le Tessier

French Post-impressionist painter
(1867-1949)

 

Born in Marseille, he shows, at a very early age, an innate faculty for the arts, favored in it by his mother, amateur of art and descendant of the sculptor Simon. However, his father, an established merchant, sees things otherwise. The paternal taste for profit obliges Joseph to study business in Lyon. Armed with the necessary diplomas, he immersed himself in the business. He will last ten years.

In 1900, he leaves his job. Delivered of a long time suppressed frustration, Le Tessier gives himself, body and soul, to painting. He is 33 years old; his future is still in front of him. He studies tirelessly works from the painters from Lyon, Carrand, Vernay, and Ravier. His first and last exhibition takes place in Lyon in 1911. It is a triumph.
Begin then for Le Tessier, his wife and their daughter Marthe, a long wandering that brings them, during World War I, in the Yonne, in Voutenay. The painter achieves there, numerous oils of small formats, all treated on the nabi model beloved of Emile Bernard and Paul Sérusier.
He arrives in Vincennes in 1925. Le Tessier discovers the art galleries of the capital and is enthusiastic about Vlamick, Modigliani, and Soutine. His daughter Marthe learns the etching process and the sale of her works helps the family to support misery.

In 1933, the Le Tessier family lands in the middle of the country in the south of Aisne. Noroy-sur-Ourcq is a small village perched on the heights, overlooking the valley of the Ourcq, and Jean Racine's native country. The material life of the Le Tessier organizes itself somehow.
For Le Tessier, Noroy will be the place of the accomplished miracle. His pictorial writing has finally arrived to maturity. Taken of an irrepressible vital impulse, the 66 years old painter suddenly asserts a radiant youth. It is the triumph, the explosion of colors, and a permanent firework! From morning till night, he walks the Orxois' paths, his painter's gear under the arm. He looks avidly at the surrounding nature: the curvaceous hills of the Orxois, wheat fields flooded with sun, the Marne valley quivering with light, still-life astounding of colorful lyricism…
The painter "with the illuminated" palette dies in July 1949, at the age of 82, leaving behind him more than six hundred paintings and not a penny… En 1952, three years after his death, a retrospective of his work takes place in Lyon. Unanimously, the art critics praise Le Tessier's uncommon genius.

What's The Story

Will Burton has never really fit in at school. At best he gets ignored, at worst, beat to a pulp. So when blonde cheerleader-type Charlotte Barnes asks for Will's help in putting together a rock/ska group for a massive band competition, he isn't quite sure what to do with himself. As he works with Charlotte, he begins to develop the confidence that comes from being really good at what he does, and a fellow outsider of the female persuasion begins to look at him in a whole new light.

Three Good Reasons

  • 1Rock & roll is reason enough, and these kids have real talent. Everyone in the movie plays his/her instrument on camera.
  • 2Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical and Gaelan Connell from Chocolat make an adorable if unlikely couple.
  • 3Camp, the first film by Bandslam writer-director Todd Graff, was called "a blast of exuberant fun" by Rolling Stone.

Bet You Didn't Know

Charlotte is played by Alyson Michalka, better known as half of the pop due Aly and AJ. Soon, AJ (a.k.a Amanda) will be in The Lovely Bones, adapted for the screen by The Lord of the Rings' Peter Jackson. More about Bandslam on Yahoo! Movies

Eddie Cibrian's Wife Confirms She's Left Him Over Affairs

Eddie Cibrian's wife Brandi Glanville has left him, she confirms exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands Wednesday).
"Eddie and I have decided to take some time apart," says Glanville, 36, mother of Mason, 6, and Jake, 2. "I want to do what is best for our children. Eddie and LeAnn [Rimes] deserve each other."
See photos of more celebs who were caught cheating
According to Us Weekly, the final straw came after Cibrian, 36, and Rimes, 26, were caught again together in the early afternoon of July 17 -- four months after Usmagazine.com broke the news of their affair -- outside the Malibu home of Jeff Berger, a longtime friend of the singer and her husband, Dean Sheremet. (News of Cibrian having another affair -- with 24-year-old model Scheana Marie Jancan -- also broke earlier this same month.)
Watch a video of LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian making out
Sources tell Us that Rimes' pal Berger has been facilitating similar meetings at his home for about a month and that Rimes and Cibrian also made use of a rental house on L.A.'s west side. (Berger denies he has been enabling an affair. Another source insists Cibrian and Rimes "hung out a bit, but that was it.")

Synopsis

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Harry Potter" director says finale to be best yet (Reuters)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The sixth "Harry Potter" film opens on Wednesday and is likely to be another hit for the boy wizard series, but with filming started on the finale, British director David Yates says "you haven't seen anything yet."
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," in which romance, magic and comedy collide as teenage hormones rage at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has received rave reviews and already sold out hundreds of theaters for its opening day.
Based on author British author J.K. Rowling's seven novels, which have sold more than 400 million copies, the film franchise has so far raked $4.5 billion worldwide for Warner Bros. studio, which is owned by Time Warner Inc.
The series finale is being split into two movies for which filming began five months ago and is due to finish in about a year. Part one of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is due out in late 2010 and part two is planned for release in 2011.
"People are being very kind about what they're seeing in 'Half-Blood Prince' and I just think you haven't seen anything yet," Yates, who directed "Harry Potter" five and six and is helming the final two, said in a recent interview.
"(Part one) is like a road movie, refugees being chased by all these people who want to kill them. It's quite intense," he said. "Then the final film is like this big opera, big epic, it's got more set pieces than any of the others."
"It's fights and dragons and battles," he said. "It's a real rollercoaster, but with a really oddly uplifting end."
Website Rottentomatoes.com , which collates movies reviews, said 96 percent of critics liked "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." Variety magazine said the movie is set to become "one of the year's two or three top-earning films."
ROWLING TO "POP IN" MORE OFTEN
The three key cast members who have played their characters throughout the series -- Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) -- said they were excited about the final films.
"I feel like I'm on this totally different film," Watson, 19, told a news conference. "All of us are now finished with school and we're just totally focused on this finale."
Radcliffe said he didn't want to start contemplating the end of the film yet, which he likened to his "dream coming to an end," while Tom Felton, who plays Potter enemy Draco Malfoy, said he would "cry my eyes out" when it's finished.
Author Rowling has said she was devastated after finishing the final "Harry Potter" book, which was published in July 2007 by Scholastic Corp in the United States and Bloomsbury Publishing elsewhere in the world.
The books, which she spent 17 years working on, have made the mother-of-three one of the world's wealthiest writers.
Rowling has also remained involved throughout the making of the films, reading scripts before shooting begins and offering suggestions, Yates said.
"She's really gracious, she's not territorial," he said. "She kind of recognizes the challenges of adapting (a book for a film) and she's really sympathetic to that."
"She said now that the shooting part is coming to an end she might just pop in more often, which we would love," Yates said. "She was so busy with all the other books she couldn't (visit much more than once a year)."
Chris Columbus directed the first two "Harry Potter" films, Alfonso Cuaron took on the third and Mike Newell directed the fourth before Yates took control of the final four movies.
"I wake up in the morning I think Potter, I got to bed I think Potter. By the time I finish I probably will have spent seven years doing Potter," Yates said.
"It's a challenge to bring this huge thing to a conclusion and I couldn't bear letting that go and seeing someone else doing it," he said. "I couldn't let it go, it was too addictive, too compulsive, too much fun."

Authorities Closing in On Jackson Doc


Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the central target in both the coroner and LAPD investigations into Michael Jackson's death is Dr. Conrad Murray, who was at Jackson's house when the singer went into full cardiac arrest.

Sources say the doctor is not cooperating with authorities, but they have still found evidence linking him to the drug that may have killed Jackson. As we first reported, as a result of Dr. Murray's second interview with police two weeks ago today, the LAPD obtained a warrant to conduct a second search of Jackson's home -- and that's when they found Propofol, a powerful anesthesia that should never be used outside a hospital. There is evidence Propofol was administered to Jackson shortly before his heart stopped beating.

And we're told there is evidence Dr. Murray may have administered the drug. Dr. Murray's lawyer, Ed Chernoff, told TMZ he would neither confirm nor deny if Dr. Murray administered Propofol to Jackson. Law enforcement sources tell us if they conclude the doctor administered the drug it may well lead to manslaughter charges.

Investigators are also suspicious of the delay in calling 911 -- the Dr. says he waited 20 - 30 minutes because he didn't know Jackson's address that would lead paramedics to the house. Jackson lived on one of the most famous streets in the world -- one house above Sunset Blvd.

As the investigation into Jackson's death heats up, there's also an investigation into his life with drugs and the doctor's who fueled it. Sources tell us law enforcement is seriously investigating the prescription practices of several doctors who gave Jackson access to medications. Investigators are particularly interested in doctors who used aliases to write scripts for Jackson. One of the central figures in the investigation -- Dr. Arnold Klein.

We broke the story yesterday how members of Jackson's staff complained that Klein was using the names of employees and others to help Jackson score drugs. One of the names allegedly used -- Frank Tyson, a former Jackson employee. Several powerful meds in Tyson's name were prescribed by Dr. Klein and found at the Neverland Ranch during the 2003 search.

Maxim Model's Win Breast Lawsuit

Maxim hottie Monica Hansen can actually put a price on how much her breasts are worth -- a little over half a mil.

Hansen sued a plastic surgeon earlier this year because, she claimed, he used her picture on his website -- without her permission -- to promote his work.

This week she was awarded a $564,555 default judgment.

It's unclear if Hansen was claiming she never actually had a boob job. But, um, well ... judge for yourself.

Psychics see magic in Michael Jackson's life


LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- When Glynis McCants looks at Michael Jackson's life, she sees the number five.

Jackson's talent was discovered when he was 5 years old, he came to fame as a member of the Jackson 5 and he planned a series of 50 concert dates in London, England, as part of a comeback tour before he died on June 25 at the age of 50.

For McCants, a noted numerologist and author, those facts are very telling: "Five is the number for drama, and it was in his life his whole life."

For many fans, the lure of Michael Jackson as a performer and pop icon was magical. Those who deal in the paranormal are tuned in to that magic.

Numerology deals with the influence of numbers on personal characteristics and human affairs.

McCants -- who has appeared on nationally syndicated television and radio shows and is known as the "Numbers Lady" -- said that by taking Jackson's birth date (August 29, 1958, or 8/29/1958) she could chart his personality.

His was "six life path," she said, meaning he was magnetic and drew people to him. That, coupled with the fact that he was born on a two day made him irresistible, she said.

"If you are born on a two day and are a six life path then America and the world seem to fall in love with you," McCants said.

"It's almost as if you always get a shot with that energy if you shoot for stardom, and then you can sabotage it," McCants said. "Britney Spears was born on a two day, and she's a six life path; Lindsay Lohan was born on a two day, and she's a six life path; and Sarah Palin was born on a two day, and is a six life path."

Such people, McCants said, thrive on the attention. Psychic Eddie Conner said Jackson couldn't help but attract such attention, even if it resulted in a life of isolation.

"He's an old soul with an enormous amount of creative artistic energy that pours to him and from him," said Conner, who works as a "soul intuitive" in Los Angeles, California, and whose clients include celebrities he declines to name. "Whenever he's doing his magic he's untouchable, and I think that's the reason everybody gravitates toward him."

And despite all of Jackson's troubles, Conner said he believes the star will have an opportunity at success and fame again.

Unlike other souls that stay in the nonphysical realm anywhere from 70 to 150 years, he said, he believes the singer's soul will return quickly -- within the next 20 years -- because Jackson was such a perfectionist that he will want to "pick up where he left off."

"If not as a performer, then a Quincy Jones/Michael Jackson/whoever, the top producers that get mass [music] out to the world to uplift them," Conner said.

Fans continue to gravitate toward Jackson even as they try to make sense of his passing because mourning him reinvigorates the energy and attention surrounding him, Conner said.

"He was untouchable when he was connected to his soul and what he came to this planet to do," Conner said. "The average person looks at that and they believe that if they can touch it -- or have him touch them -- then maybe some of it would rub off."

The desire for such a connection can cause devastation now that Jackson is gone, said psychic consultant Jack Rourke, who has worked extensively in paranormal research and consulted for major Hollywood studios.

"Even though we've never met Michael, people create a symbiotic relationship with this image or this person," Rourke said. "We project all of the positive aspects of ourselves, all of the wonderful things onto this image of perfection or near perfection that we see, and we imagine subconsciously that this person is in agreement with the deepest part of ourselves.

"When this is no longer possible because this person is gone, it creates a vacuum within us, so people need to maintain a psychological or even a spiritual stability by creating a fixed image of Jackson," he said.

Rourke said he fully expects people to come forward claiming to have communicated with Jackson, but that any credible professional psychic or medium will not attempt to connect with Jackson for at least six months to a year and will only do so at the behest of a family member or an intimate friend of the singer.

In the meantime, Conner said fans can still reach out to the singer's energy in a simple way: "The greatest way to connect with Michael is through listening to his music.

AIR FORCE ONE


No matter where in the world the President travels, if he flies in an Air Force jet, the plane is called Air Force One. Technically, Air Force One is the call sign of any Air Force aircraft carrying the President. In practice, however, Air Force One is used to refer to one of two highly customized Boeing 747-200B series aircraft, which carry the tail codes 28000 and 29000. The Air Force designation for the aircraft is VC-25A.

Air Force One is one of the most recognizable symbols of the presidency, spawning countless references not just in American culture but across the world. Emblazoned with the words “United States of America,” the American flag, and the Seal of the President of the United States, it is an undeniable presence wherever it flies or docks.

Capable of refueling midair, Air Force One has unlimited range and can carry the President wherever he needs to travel. The onboard electronics are hardened to protect against an electromagnetic pulse, and Air Force One is equipped with advanced secure communications equipment, allowing the aircraft to function as a mobile command center in the event of an attack on the United States.

Inside, the President and his travel companions enjoy 4,000 square feet of floor space on three levels, including an extensive suite for the President that features a large office, lavatory, and conference room. Air Force One includes a medical suite that can function as an operating room, and a doctor is permanently on board. The plane’s two food preparation galleys can feed 100 people at a time.

Air Force One also has quarters for those who accompany the President, including senior advisors, Secret Service officers, traveling press, and other guests. Several cargo planes typically fly ahead of Air Force One to provide the President with services needed in remote locations.

Air Force One is maintained and operated by the Presidential Airlift Group, part of the White House Military Office. The Airlift Group was founded in 1944 as the Presidential Pilot Office at the direction of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. For the next 20 years, various propeller driven aircraft served the President. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy became the first President to fly in his own jet aircraft, a modified Boeing 707. Over the years, several other jet aircraft have been used, with the first of the current aircraft being delivered in 1990 during the administration of President George H. W. Bush.
