Giuseppe de Nittis was invited by Degas to join Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Cicely in the first Impressionist exhibition at the Nadar Gallery in Paris. Here, he is thought to show horses exercised before a race in Hyde Park, London, chronicalling the highlife and style in England and France during the Belle Epoque. The modern boulevards of Baron Haussman on a sleety autumn day were the inspiration for Béraud’s realistic depictions of modern Parisian life. Designed by Henri Guimard, the Paris métro sign is the epitome of Art Nouveau style, but Guimard also pioneered the industrial processes for mass production that would allow this new art to be disseminated to as wide a public as possible. Developments in print making, during the 19th century, including lithography allowed artists to explore new and bold methods of communication. Here Toulouse Lautrec’s La Troupe De Mademoiselle Eglantine epitomises both the gaiety and the exploitative nature of the era.
The materials and methods of production and the creative forces behind the style and design of furniture help us to understand how the maker and designer transcended his craft to produce lasting works of fine art. The artist Jean-François de Troy was himself a member of the wealthy sophisticated Salon society of Paris in the 1720s. His tableaux de modes depict the luxuriously furnished interiors and rich textiles worn by the wealthy elite. Understanding a work of art sometimes requires more than agility of mind. This bearded mask of Heraclitus is part of a Régence ormolu-mounted and Boulle brass-inlaid clock, probably made by André-Charles Boulle himself, c,1720

Stafford Loans for US Students

Due to the recent Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, the student loans system in the US is changing. Currently foreign institutions do not have access to the new Direct Loans system that has been implemented by the Department of Education. Foreign institutions are not expected to have access until July 2010. As these changes are ongoing, our best advice is to apply for eligibility via FAFSA if you are interested, complete the Entrance Concelling process and the Stafford Loan Checklist. Getting as much done as possible now will ensure that the loans can be processed quickly once the Direct Loans System is available to the University of Glasgow.
