Cerfia reported that some experts were relieved after the fire at the Limoges town hall, as no major artworks had been destroyed. The media indicated that the blue room and its ceiling, the sculptures, and the paintings had been preserved, as well as the archives kept in another building.

Cerfia indicated that the town hall of Limoges, built between 1876 and 1883, housed an exceptional artistic heritage that was destroyed overnight.

Mélenchon invoque Antigone comme preuve de la grandeur de sa bataille culturelle, alors que cette œuvre appartient précisément à la culture classique européenne qu’une partie de la gauche réduit aujourd’hui au patriarcat et à la domination occidentale. Les mêmes milieux militants ont même empêché à la Sorbonne une représentation des Suppliantes d’Eschyle au nom de l’antiracisme. L’histoire de l’art africain ruine tout autant sa caricature : ce sont largement des artistes, collectionneurs et bourgeois européens qui ont reconnu, dans des masques et sculptures à fonction rituelle, une puissance esthétique capable de révolutionner l’art moderne. Mélenchon profite donc de l’universalisme culturel occidental tout en présentant cette même culture comme une simple machine à hiérarchiser les Blancs et les autres. C’est un contresens total, qui ne convaincra que les esprits limités de son entourage. #Culture #Antiracisme #ArtModerne
Poetry in marble. Michelangelo made La Pietà in 1499. It is perhaps the most precious statue in Christendom. https://t.co/hiFw5ql7SK #Art #Sculpture #History
Our Bench A tiny sculptural lamp about companionship, silence and the moments that need no words. Part of my Micra series, it transforms light into a quiet story, where sculpture and illumination become one. Where sculpture meets light. www.ivostamenov.com #SculpturalLighting #CollectibleDesign #MicraSeries #ArtLamp #ContemporaryArt #Storytelling #HandmadeArt #LightAndShadow
Tensegrity Bold A sculptural lamp exploring the quiet balance between weight and suspension. Solid wood appears to float, held in tension rather than force. Tensegrity Bold invites the viewer to question what is truly holding the sculpture together. Handcrafted as a unique piece, where light becomes part of the sculpture rather than simply illuminating it. Where sculpture meets light. www.ivostamenov.com #SculpturalLighting #CollectibleDesign #ArtLamp #WoodArt #ContemporaryArt #LightingDesign #FunctionalSculpture #HandmadeArt
Le Petit Prince A tiny sculptural lamp inspired by the quiet courage of dreaming beyond the ordinary.
