ENJOYING the WEEKEND// Travel Lifestyle

MY BIGGEST LOVE - ALL ABOUT ART

(Mein gross liebe - Kunst)

I really can't think of anything I love more then ART! It is something that

I have always enjoyed to see or collect books on the subject.

Luckily I am living in such a amazing city where Art and Culture

is central to life. There are so many exhibitions to see throughout the year.

My all time favourite art is impressionism and the work of the famous Viennese artist Klimt.

His most famous piece is of course the KISS. (i am sure you know it).

The art world was dominated mainly by men, with a few woman.

But I recently discovered another impressionist artist

Olga Wisinger - Florian . She painted in the late 1890s .

Some of her art is on display at the famous Leopold museum .

Exhibition : Flower Power der Moderne, 24 may - 21 Oct

Here are just a few of her paintings, there is a collection of 70 on display.

Apparently She was a master of self marketing ( with out instagram or TV)

A wonderful seaside painting that depicts life and people

enjoying the sun and sea.

THE BEACH ETRETAT - NORMANDY 1893

What a lovely garden... heavenly!

SUMMER EVENING

Finally this is a favourite, so Parisian looking.

DER POSTHOF IN KARLSBAD

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer.
