  Georges Pompidou - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georges Jean Raymond Pompidou (July 5, 1911 – April 2, 1974) was President of France from 1969 until his death in 1974.
As Prime Minister during the student demonstrations of May 1968, Pompidou was widely regarded as having been responsible for ensuring that the disorder had a peaceful conclusion.
Following de Gaulle's resignation in 1969, Pompidou was elected to be his successor as President of France, defeating Acting President Alain Poher.

Claude Pelieu and Mary Beach met in 1962 and, until Claude's unfortunate passing in December of 2002, they shared an exemplary rich and creative life.
Long hailed in Claude's native France as the natural inheritors of the Surrealist legacy (a direct line has been drawn by French critics from Picasso and Braque to Schwitters and Duchamp to Warhol and Pelieu), their works are highly prized and respected.
Claude and Mary wed in 1975, and finally settled in upstate New York - first in Cooperstown, then in the nearby small town of Norwich.

 Vivier, Claude
His music, of a direct and disruptive expression, could bewilder only those hard-hearted people who are unfit to categorize this independent man of genius.
Claude Vivier found what so many others have sought for, and still seek: the secret of a truly new simplicity' (Harmonie-Panorama Musique, April 1983).
In 1983 the society Les Amis de Claude Vivier was founded in Montreal; its goals are to promote the publication and the distribution of his compositions and writings.

 Claude Garache: Paintings
Claude Garache offers us x-rays of the psyche, ultra-sound scans of a womb-like world in which the acknowledgment of universal vulnerability may be a necessity for survival as well as a threat to it.
We are pleased at M. Garache’s recent success, having given him his first one-person exhibition in the U.S. (in 1982, followed by solo exhibits in 1983, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1997, and 1999), and continue to show his work and to maintain the largest inventory of it in the United States.
Claude Garache has published nearly 200 aquatints, etchings, and lithographs, and Sightwood Galleries has examples of almost all of them, along with several paintings and a number of drawings.

Contemporary art, art which is in essence contradictory : as strict as mathematics or violently lyric, sincere to the point of shamelessness or insolent in deception, an explosion of colour or joy or a negation of everything, including oneself, it is always on the lookout for tomorrow.
The choice of both artists and works was made on the basis of indications given, first and foremost by Madame Claude Pompidou, but also by close associates, and notably by Madeleine Négrel, Georges Pompidou's personal secretary.
The file-cards were compiled notably from the remembrances of Madame Claude Pompidou, Mademoiselle Madeleine Négrel, Madame Denise Esnous.

Entitled Acting Out: Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, the exhibit tells the story of a lifelong partnership and artistic collaboration between two women whose work has only recently resurfaced.
Claude Cahun (the pen name of Lucy Schwob) was born in 1894 to a prominent Jewish publishing family in the French provincial city of Nantes.
These images were later included as self-portraits in the 1995 exhibition Fémininmasculin, the sex of art at the Pompidou Center in Paris, and they have helped to establish Cahun as an important Surrealist artist.

 Insider's Guide - Christmas in Paris
When Georges Pompidou authorised this enormous building, the era of les grands travaux - monumental public works - was at its height.
Claude Chabrol describes the setting of his classic suspense films like THE BUTCHER, THE BEAST MUST DIE and RED WEDDING as 'Pompidolien' France -- preoccupied with vulgar ostentation and petit bourgeois greed.
Mostly it jogs memories of the dying President's last months, carried like so much excess baggage from summit to summit, clinging to power while his architectural heritage was raced to completion.

In these two figures, in their movement, their gestures, their powerful sense of agency, we sense again, as Jacques Thuillier did twenty years ago (in "Notes brèves sur Claude Garache," Derrière Le Miroir, 1975), that "The unity of Garache’s work evokes the unity between being and non-being, between hope and despair.

The Nymphéas are paintings of waterlilies which Claude Monet painted in his last years in his Giverny house in Normandy west of Paris (have a look at them).
Located in a private "hotel" in the fashionable Auteuil western district of Paris not far from the Bois de Boulogne, the Marmottan museum is therefore a pilgrimage destination for fans of impressionism and a very pleasant museum for everybody.
Right on the picture, the impressionist painter Claude Monet painted the lively Capucines boulevard near the Rue de la Paix and the Garnier Opera.

Hublot achieved this fusion by becoming the official partner of the exhibition “Big Bang”, destruction and creation in 20th century art, to take place at the Pompidou Centre in Paris from 13 June 2005 to 28 February 2006.
Twenty-five years on and Hublot gives birth to a unique watch, “Big Bang”, revisiting its guiding principles: the fusion of unusual materials such as gold and ceramics, Kevlar and red gold, tantalum or rubber – and a marriage between the Swiss watchmaking tradition and visionary watchmaking of the 21st century.
At the same time, the Pompidou Centre is presenting an exceptional exhibition of its collections entitled Big Bang, based on an original theme: the modern Big Bang, or the link between destruction and creation in 20th century art to the present day.

 Marc S. Malkin-Intelligencer
After French consul general Richard Duque sent out invites to an October 22 dinner at the consulate for former prime minister Alain Juppé, he got a call from the Baroness Philippine de Rothschild that she was planning a little $1,000-a-plate soirée at the Guggenheim that same night to benefit the Claude Pompidou Foundation.
"But then Madame Pompidou called him personally and he backed down." It probably helped that Rothschild not only invited all 50 of Duque's guests to her party -- where she'll auction off bottles of Château Mouton Rothschild worth $10,000 -- but also offered to pay for their tickets.
Of course, this is the same woman who twice last month flew chef Daniel Boulud to Paris on the Concorde so she could sample the gala's menu.
