Art & Design

I've often found it challenging to easily understand the different art movements.

Despite exploring art and history books, Wikipedia, YouTube, and Google Art & Culture, the sequence, significance or blending of these movements remained unclear.

Which came first? Who are the key artists? What are their main works?

Art Timeline is my own attempt to remember these.

I've created this website for myself. I hope it will be useful for your own artistic explorations too.

The rules for the Bulwer Lytton Fiction Contest are childishly simple:

Each entry must consist of a single sentence.

Sentences may be of any length but we strongly recommend that entries not go beyond 50 or 60 words.

Entries must be “original” (as it were) and previously unpublished.

Due to the volume of submissions, if your entry is more than one sentence or is missing a name or location it won't be considered.

Our contest year runs from one summer to the next. All entries submitted by June 30th are eligible for the winners announced that  August.

We post the winners in mid August, give or take a natural disaster or mild inconvenience. To receive an announcement email, sign up for our mailing list down there in the footer.

In keeping with the gravitas, high seriousness, and general bignitude of the contest, the grand prize winner will receive … a cheap certificate (and bragging rights).

Elaborate paper sculptures continue to emerge from Patrick Cabral’s Manila studio, including a roiling cockfight that took more than a year to complete. Stretching six feet wide, the monumental work highlights Cabral’s exquisitely cut motifs, which add texture and depth to the otherwise smooth medium. Layers of lace-like patterns, stripes, and other frills adorn the birds shown pre-fight with wings splayed and claws bared.

The art of political branding on the fly.

As we turn another wild corner in the 2024 election cycle—one in which we suddenly have a new Democratic candidate with little more than 100 days left to get out the vote, I want to shout out some unsung heroes: Harris for President creative team, there’s much work ahead, but so far, you’re doing great! 🙌

Team GB is the external facing brand owned and managed by the British Olympic Association. 100% commercially funded, its primary role is to unite, organise and prepare athletes from all Olympic sports, disciplines, and governing bodies as they compete together under the Union Flag.

Ahead of Paris 2024 and beyond, the BOA were looking to maintain and grow the brand’s profile amongst fans of all ages and backgrounds, strengthen its relationship with sponsors and commercial partners, and make sure it would be fit for today’s modern, digital-first communication landscape.

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, is an island in the western Pacific Ocean roughly 100 miles off the coast of southeastern China. To quote Frommer’s (because I always have a hard time introducing destinations): “Taiwan is one of Asia’s industrial powerhouses, but its diverse natural assets and cultural attractions make it a draw for visitors as well. This small island nation is located southeast of the coast of mainland China with an eastern shore that rims the Pacific Ocean. Much of the island is lush forestland, but the topography includes picturesque mountains, rice fields, and balmy beaches.” In charge of bringing nearly 1 million tourists annually to see the picturesque mountains, rice fields, and balmy beaches is the Taiwan Tourism Administration, which is part of the Tourism Administration, M.O.T.C. Republic of China (Taiwan), established in 1960. Looking to increase the number of international visitors and committed to steering the tourism industry towards sustainability and digitization and crafting superior travel experiences and pioneering services, the Administration has introduced a new identity designed by Taipei, Taiwan-based Bito.

A badge of honour bringing pride to the athletes

Alongside the look of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, a reinvented set of 62 pictograms of the upcoming Games has been unveiled.

Each of the pictograms is a badge of honour, representing not only a sporting discipline but also a family, a sense of pride, a set of values and a community. It is a symbol of each wearer belonging to a chosen sporting family, and a sign of affinity with a great and beautiful sporting community.

Each one is composed of three graphical elements: an axis of symmetry, a depiction of the ground and a representation of the sport that it illustrates. Eight of the pictograms are shared between the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“A pictogram is also a symbol that is collectable," Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet said at an event to mark the launch of the look and pictograms. "When you’re an athlete, you’re proud about showing off the pictogram of your sport - pins, t-shirts… I remember collecting those things.”

Matikhine also talked about the role the International Federations had in developing the design of the new pictograms, saying: “The International Federations played a role in their development. For fencing, for example, the pictogram shows the three different types of blades with foil and epee at the top and sabre at the bottom. There is a type of finesse in the detail and the accuracy of the sporting endeavour. We discussed the design of the mask in great detail with the International Federation to have the best representation possible.”

Pictograms have been a feature of the Olympics since Tokyo 1964, with a broad range of symbols used to represent each sport. Ever since each host country has endeavoured to push the envelope, with stylistic changes seen with every edition of the Games.

Paris 2024 will once again revolutionise the pictogram, creating a sign of affinity with a great and beautiful sporting community.

Ora Ito est le témoin d'une nouvelle ère où les frontières entre design, architecture, et art se fondent entre elles, pour laisser place à une créativité sans limite où chaque forme, chaque couleur, chaque ligne raconte une histoire.
