Bartels, author of “ Good Grief: On Loving Pets, Here and Hereafter." "There are people who feel more comfortable with animals than with people," she adds "So losing those relationships can be really People who haven’t experienced pet love may struggle to understand what it’s like to lose it They may think they are being helpful by saying “It was just an animal,” or “They were lucky to have such a loving owner.” But pat phrases can make grieving owners clam up and feel alone “You feel like you can’t talk about it because people aren’t really empathizing,” says Annalisa de Carteret who manages a telephone helpline and other pet-loss support services for Blue Cross “Just allow that person to talk about how they’re feeling you can get another pet' or ‘He had a good life You just feel sad and just want someone to listen and to understand.” Another tip: Don’t assume that an owner’s grief is commensurate with the size or type of animal they lost, or the length of time they had them. The death of a pet lizard, for example can be as painful for some people as losing the cutest of fur balls for others “My friend’s dad has a koi pond and he loves these koi And he was so upset when a raccoon got in and killed all his koi one summer,” Bartels says they’re just fish.’ But he loved these fish She suggests that friends can offer practical help: A grieving owner who no longer has a four-legged reason to leave the house might appreciate the offer of a walk with a two-legged companion “People can really feel they lose their community,” Bartels says you bring your dog to the dog park and you get to know the group of people who are there every morning really well And so then if you lose your reason for going .. Up to 30,000 people contact Blue Cross each year for pet-loss support Many aren’t simply sad but also are fearful that they may somehow have been responsible for their animal’s death or disappearance “Guilt is a really big part of pet loss,” she says maybe they’d have stayed alive a little bit longer,’ or if they were stolen: ‘If I didn’t put them in the garden.’ Or ‘What could I have done differently to change the inevitable?’” For bereaved owners who feel more upset about the loss of a pet than about a family member Each animal has its own personality and a new one won't necessarily fill the void left by another you may no longer have the patience for kittens' litters or puppy-training again “I’m sure I’ll have a hard time again in June when it’s the year anniversary of when we put him down,” she says De Carteret keeps her dog's ashes by her fireplace “Some people will think that's weird,” she says this event invites young and old alike to plunge into the fascinating world of Chinese traditions an emblematic creature symbolizing power and wisdom celebrating Chinese culture in all its splendor The program begins with the traditional Lion Awakening Ceremony followed by

savoir-faire and unique history of two pillars of the Maison: the legendary trunkmaking workshop and Louis Vuitton’s center of watchmaking excellence is a true celebration of craftsmanship and know-how The creation merges a minute repeater movement and automata mechanism of seven animations with outstanding métier d’arts including gold engraving and enameling the ‘Escale à Asnières’ pocket watch is an embodiment of Louis Vuitton’s singular heritage and unparalleled artistic crafts and which showcases the Maison’s embrace and commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity and imagination and where Louis Vuitton founded his workshop in 1859 the village of Asnières sits on the banks of the Seine and was the perfect place for which to transport the wood and materials used for the Maison’s handcrafted trunks Asnières evolved over the decadesto include an expanded atelier as the main house served as the private home for many generations of the Vuitton family (who lived in the property until the late 1980s) Today Asnières is at the heart of the Maison’s rare and special-order creations The historic house is now a museum that symbolises the heritage and spirit of the Vuitton family Vuitton’s Family home and historic atelier in Asnières are at the heart of this story and represent the first pocket watch to be publicly disclosed by the Maison The property has been recreated on the dial of the 50mm piece while in the foreground stands a 19th century horse-drawn delivery carriage The carriage further captures the Maison’s unique past: it takes after an 1887 Louis Vuitton advertisement and a portrait of the family at Asnières The portrait featured three generations of the Vuitton family – Louis Georges and Gaston-Louis Vuitton – with craftsmen sitting around the carriage Powering the ‘Escale à Asnières’ pocket watch is the Calibre LFT AU14.01: a manual-winding mechanical movement with an on-demand minute repeater and automata mechanism of seven animations La Fabrique du Temps needed many months to research and develop Calibre LFT AU14.01 assembling all the components – with their varying heights dimensions and specifications – into a case sized at 50mm by 16.7mm was another mindboggling challenge But this represents how Calibre LFT AU14.01 was truly created from the ground up produced in service to the magnificent story that unfolds on the pocket watch an iconic movement at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton features two different chimes: the lowest for the hours (dong) and highest for the minutes (ding) while quarter hours sound on the two chimes (ding-dong) the most sophisticated tone in chiming watches With both a longer and lower sound compared to a traditional chime the cathedral gong challenged our watchmakers and engineers to create a precise minute repeater mechanism whose many components also did not interfere with the extremely complex movement overall The ‘Escale à Asnières’ pocket watch pays homage to the jacquemart minute repeaters that Louis Vuitton has created on wristwatches over the years What first began as bespoke orders for clients has seen Louis Vuitton’s jacquemart expertise evolve into the GPHG award-winning Tambour Carpe Diem wristwatch and Tambour Jacquemart Minute Repeater wristwatch that marked the Maison’s 200th anniversary The ‘Escale à Asnières’ continues the rich story of Louis Vuitton’s unique jacquemart heritage A push of a trigger at six o’clock sets off a wonderful story on the dial The horse and carriage – 3D-like and all crafted in gold – begin to move the horse’s legs and hooves stepping left and right as the carriage wheels turn stacks of Louis Vuitton trunks charmingly pop open each one revealing their own tiny Monogram Flower The entire scene is presided over by a shining it’s the smallest LV-cut stone the Maison has ever created the seven animations each represent a mechanical feat: they move at different tempos together creating this marvelous yet realistic tableau Michel Navas is the Master Watchmaker at La Fabrique du Temps who created Calibre LFT AU14.01 alongside Master Watchmaker Enrico Barbasini “I love to bring some poetry into this mathematical world of high watchmaking,” he says “It’s a mix of high watchmaking and theatre.” Complementing the mechanical triumph of the ‘Escale à Asnières’ pocket watch are incredible savoir-faire that further challenged La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton and its Métiers d’Art atelier Gold engraving is at the heart of the dial and caseback with each element entirely sculpted by in-house master engraver Crafting the dial’s base begins with the labor-intensive which is used to carve a single block of gold as Dick Steenman translates 2D renderings into a lively 3D dial Each element is crafted with meticulous attention and detail sculpted under binocular and often with specialist tools with pin-like tips Dick Steenman brings light and aspect to each element while engraving and carving with immaculate precision each element functions as a moving piece in the automata’s theatre No element is too small or insignificant to escape the utmost attention and care of gold engraving ultra miniature wheels are sculpted to rounded perfection The Louis Vuitton trunks – also very small– are given a special vertical brushing that recalls the Maison’s Trianon pattern The carriage itself and its wooden frame are sculpted for mindboggling detail and depth as the coachman is engraved with life-like features and subtle nuance The horse’s physique emerges in gold relief After engraving each of these tiny treasures they are fired at high temperature for several minutes – no easy task with breakage a real risk at 800°C The firings create a thin layer of calamine a carbonaceous residue that coats the gold in a burnt-like Layers of color are then applied to further energise and enliven the scene Dick Steenman then carefully brushes each piece to create a unique play of shade and tone Reworking the gold to bring depth and dimension to each element Three weeks are required to finish the gold engraving on the dial and the intense workmanship is matched only by the equally labor-intensive ‘Escale à Asnières’ ’s caseback is a statement all its own: adorned with a horse-drawn delivery carriage that echoes the one on the dial the carriage features incredibly fine details including minuscule text highlighting the Maison’s first addresses Dick Steenman begins with the bas-relief technique to directly sculpt the carriage which features the “Louis Vuitton” inscription the 12 letters of which come to the fore by masterful hollowing and chiseling of the surrounding gold the tiny trunks are adorned with their own unique texture where vertical brushing is contrasted with a mirror polished background The horse’s body is also embellished with the texture of the animal’s coat as the reins are painstakingly carved in different reliefs Dick Steenman works with a multitude of techniques deliver a splendid play of light The engraved caseback alone takes four weeks to complete Working in parallel with Dick Steenman is Anita Porchet master enameller and a long-time collaborator of the Maison who has created many special and bespoke timepieces for La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton Her first task is to select the enamel colors that capture Asnières beauty and spirit an in-house artisan creates a special guilloche pattern on the dial featuring sunrays that radiate from the central diamond-set sun Anita Porchet then coats the dial with numerous layers of colored enamel – 35 different hues to be exact The dial’s most complex feature is the house which is celebrated with a stunning play of shadow and light reflections Anita Porchet follows each of these colour applications with individual firings the dial is then given its final flourish: a layer of translucent enamel fondant that brings a glorious shine to the whole tableau Crafted in tandem with Dick Steenman’s engraved the dial of the ‘Escale à Asnières’ comes into its own with a rich array of colours – not to mention playful animation too – in this most mesmerising masterwork of artisanal métiers d’arts “All these know-how together give rise to this masterpiece – and an achievement for La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton,” says Michel Navas The ‘Escale à Asnières’ pocket watch would not be complete without its own bespoke the trunk comes wrapped in an exotic green leather that matches the dial hidden drawers house the timepiece’s various accessories: an 18k pink gold pocket watch chain and compartments for the certificate and book that details the journey of this masterpiece “The ‘Escale à Asnières’ pocket watch is a wonderful adventure for us all: the watchmakers and engineers of course but also Dick Steenman for the engraving and Anita Porchet for the enameling We love to surround ourselves with all these métiers d’art and savoir-faire.” says Michel Navas “This piece represents the meeting of the expertise of Geneva and Paris where haute horlogerie complication and intricate know-how embrace the tradition of Asnières.” to celebrate the2025 edition of the

critic Jules François Felix Fleury-Husson “Industry mixed with nature has its poetic side; the point is to see it and be inspired.” By <a href="https://www.artic.edu/authors/166/jacquelyn-n-coutre" rel="author">Jacquelyn N Coutré</a> and <a href="https://www.artic.edu/authors/173/jena-k-carvana" rel="author">Jena K five ambitious young artists—Vincent van Gogh Paris undertook an enormous public works project often referred to as the Haussmannization of the city that led to a new municipal layout of grand boulevards and elegant apartment buildings as seen in Gustave Caillebotte’s Paris Street: Rainy Day This “renovation” of the city had enormous consequences for the suburbs and the Seine: major shifts in population increased development of agricultural land While artists like Caillebotte embraced the new Paris as a subject and Angrand sought inspiration outside of the capital immersing themselves in the industrializing suburbs on the river Seine: Asnières These suburban locations were full of electrifying tensions—physically and psychologically located between city and country and offering both industry and leisure The works on view in Van Gogh and the Avant-Garde: The Modern Landscape showcase how these artists captured this textured environment and how while depicting subjects like the recognizable double bridges at Asnières or the Seine itself each artist found inspiration in nature that contributed to radical new ways of painting Postcard of Asnières showing the Pont du Chemin de Fer and the Pont d’Asnières located across the river Seine to the northwest of Paris was easily accessible from the city by train or on foot Two bridges facilitated travel to the area: the Pont d’Asnières While the bridges appear in works by most of the five artists it was Van Gogh and Bernard who gave these structures prominence in their paintings Van Gogh’s View of the Pont d’Asnières foregrounds the pedestrian bridge he would have crossed on his journeys to this area in a view of the river looking south The Dutch artist created a vibrant depiction of this bridge horizontal brushstrokes to compose the stone piers and water while monumentalizing the structure by portraying it from below and stretching its spans across the width of the canvas This composition may have been inspired by the artist’s collection of Japanese woodblock prints which included an impression of Utagawa Hiroshige’s Okazaki: Yahagi Bridge on the Yahagi River Like Van Gogh’s View of the Pont d’Asnières these prints often enlarged the subject while minimizing surrounding figures and components of the landscape While Van Gogh featured the pedestrian bridge his young friend Emile Bernard emphasized the area’s industry by focusing his Iron Bridges at Asnières on the railroad bridge with a passing train Digital Image © The Museum of Modern Art/Licensed by SCALA /Art Resource Bernard began seeking alternative styles from those used by his contemporaries producing this highly experimental painting Bernard broke elements of the composition into bold contain blocks of black to indicate the shadows under the tracks and provide a sense of depth heavy composition that mimics the industrial character of the area Paul Signac’s Clipper (Opus 155) depicts both bridges at Asnières; the railroad bridge sits along the right edge of the composition while a small span of the pedestrian bridge connects to the distant shore on the upper left Signac’s painting prominently integrates the recognizable pedestrian and railroad bridges and the round tanks of the gas factory at Clichy visible above the buildings on the opposite bank By situating the railroad bridge obliquely and by including the pedestrian bridge and gas tanks Signac defines the landscape with these markers of modernity and focuses attention on the clipper Although the bridges were identifiable markers of the landscape at Asnières the Seine itself was a key feature of all the northwestern suburbs The winding river served as both a site of recreation and a route for transporting industrial materials providing ample inspiration for all five artists Charles Angrand explored the stillness of the Seine imbuing the river with a magical sense in The Seine at Dawn The painting is set in an unknown location with the thin factory chimneys at Clichy jutting up into the sky Omitting outlines and using only shades of cream Angrand produced a hazy image of the early hours of the morning from which a golden glow emanates like a halo which is further amplified by the placid and unchanging surface of the river Georges Seurat’s The Seine at La Grande Jatte painted more than six years after his initial exploration of the island characterizes the Seine as an active site of recreation With the man in a scull and the sailboat in the distance the river invokes the leisure activities that grew steadily more popular in Paris in the second half of the 19th century In contrast to Angrand’s representation of the Seine reflecting the buildings and sails on its shimmering waters its composition of various shades of blue alludes to its depth and creates a substantial texture on the river’s surface and Angrand were all drawn to the suburbs immediately outside of Paris because of the exciting tensions the area offered recently transformed by developments in adjacent Paris and ripe for exploration presented a stimulating canvas upon which these artists could test new ideas about painting The intersection of industry and nature found at Asnières and La Grande Jatte inspired them all to experiment with color and composition—and ultimately to redefine what it meant to paint a “modern landscape.” Lead support for Van Gogh and the Avant-Garde: The Modern Landscape is generously

compliance), the Alcazar cinema has been offering innovative technology since October 2022 We've tried it out to give you a sneak preview A few words about the technology first, for lovers of beautiful images: the LG LED screen is installed in the large 300-seat auditorium (choose number 1 if you book from their site here) It measures 10 meters across and is made up of 192 LED panels offering superior visual quality to most projection systems Although this process already existed with other equipment manufacturers the visual quality offered by this LED screen (the1st in cinema in France for LG) is impressive thanks to absolute blackness and a luminosity that can be increased to 300 candela/m² (to put it simply well above the current standard of 48 cd/m² enabling you to watch a film even with the lights on The audio system with CP950 Dolby processor incorporates speakers located at the top and bottom of the screen enabling sound rendering two-thirds of the way up the image The LG LED screen also offers significant ecological benefits: it consumes three times less energy than a xenon projector producing less heat and thus reducing ventilation requirements A few minutes after the commercials and trailers a short animated film highlights the multitude of brilliant colors and the precision of the image details demonstrating the impressive quality of the image The film's projection immerses us in total immersion: the cloak-and-dagger scenes follow on from one another giving the impression of springing right into the theater Characters such as d'Artagnan and the musketeers seem more realistic and close-up sometimes giving the sensation of a 3D projection without glasses If this experience is particularly well-suited to action films owner Xavier Orsel (via his company Ciné Zéphyr) readily confides that this screen works wonders especially.. allows us to rediscover forgotten details..

Having strong relationships with a number rental companies Plenier was therefore able to try out just about everything the market had to offer in terms of digital consoles "In every case the compromises were simply too numerous to justify the outlay - not enough flexibility plus we really didn't want to get into scrolling through pages of scenes to find what we needed in the mix nor did we want to be limited in terms of stereo mixes We were also looking for EtherSound network capability "We'd seen nothing so far that really jumped out at us Sales and marketing director Xavier Pion and technical guru Matthieu Le Failler brought along an Sy48 and an Sy80 and after just a few hours of demos and testing I and my technical team were all completely sold We opted for an Sy80 equipped with 48 preamps and 24 outputs and in 2009 we are planning to invest in an LX6464ES sound card for multitrack digital recording "So what do we love about the Sy80?" continued Plenier you don't have to configure your patch to the console but you can adapt your console to the patch - we are no longer limited by the architecture of the console because you can designate any function to any fader and the quality of the effects makes this console very easy to work on and the quality of what you can achieve is just magnificent the fact that Innovason consoles are so easy to operate makes them a real godsend when we've got visiting engineers because they are usually up and running in no time We're also seeing Innovason appearing on more and more French riders which merely confirms our view that the Sy80 is the perfect console for us in every way."

Vuitton avait établi son atelier à proximité de son domicile C’est encore là que les malles sont fabriquées de nos jours Avant que ses initiales ne soient connues du monde entier Louis Vuitton avait lui-même été un apprenti d’exception qui avait commencé à 16 ans à travailler dans l’atelier de M en parcourant les 400 kilomètres qui séparaient la capitale de son village de Lavans-sur-Valouse dans le Jura élevé par un père meunier et une belle-mère qui semblait ne pas avoir beaucoup d’amour pour lui et ce mariage marqua une nouvelle étape dans son parcours Louis ouvrit son atelier en 1858 et inventa la forme qui allait révolutionner l’élégance du voyage Une malle non plus bombée comme celles des époques précédentes mais rectangulaire avec des bords arrondis empilable et imperméable grâce à un revêtement de toile cirée dans une teinte gris trianon et avec le développement du réseau ferroviaire dans l’Europe tout entière au point de nécessiter l’ouverture d’un atelier plus grand les planches de peuplier à partir desquelles sont confectionnés les fameux coffres sont livrées en péniche et les malles prennent ensuite le train en direction de Paris En cette époque où Monet peint cette même gare et où Vincent Van Gogh et Georges Seurat se retrouvent sur les bords de Seine pour peindre la famille Vuitton est elle aussi en proie à la passion de l’art que ce soit avec les iris peints sur les vitraux ou dans le dessin des colonnes qui s’élèvent jusqu’au plafond L’ameublement de ces espaces rassemble des canapés Chesterfield des tables orientales en acajou avec des ornements en nacre Georges invente le fameux monogramme LV et l’insère dans une fantaisie de cercles et de fleurs inspirée des estampes japonaises la simple vue de ces deux lettres nous fait voyager Dans le
