Grand Palais, PARIS, FR The next group art exhibition Passion for Life is held from November 21-30, 2008 at the Grand Palais in Paris, in support of the Institut Curie. Following several art exhibitions in Italy, Mexico and the Principality of Monaco, Passion for Life has been offered the opportunity to exhibit in Paris, France, under the banner of the prestigious Societe des Artistes Independants. Following the invitation of the President of the Society, Mrs. Franckie Tacque, and her Board of Directors, 15 international artists will exhibit their art for a humanitarian cause: the fight against cancer. A small group of innovative artists, Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Camille Pissarro and the founders Albert Dubois-Pillet, Odilon Redon, Henri-Edmond Cross, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, founded the Salon des Ind�pendants in 1884. In a movement of defiance, these Neo-Impressionist painters, tired from being refused by the juries of the official Salon, decided to create their own Salon - the Salon des Ind�pendants - with the fundamental principle of �no jury, nor reward�. Included this year is Maz Jackson who has been a Premiere Portfolio artist at absolutearts.com since 2002. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

| | | Deidre Adams: Passages
Translations Gallery, Denver, CO USA United States of America Artist Deidre Adams is influenced by structures undergoing change. The side of an old building which has been painted over many times reveals chipping and curling paint. A painted iron pipe exposed to salt air reveals intricate patterns of cracking and rust. Construction or demolition sites have spray paint markings that accent the richly varied materials that lay in piles or are stacked in tidy rows. All of these structures provide textures that are evident in her work. She combines them with vertical and horizontal divisions that are reminiscent of windows and doorways in her abstract pieces and horizon lines in her landscapes. Translations Gallery promotes their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

I am mesmerized by nature and the visual ironies with which it presents itself. The contradictions in its color palette, along with its subtle nuances, have always made a lasting impression on me. Those impressions influence my work through digital manipulation of my original photographs and mixing unconventional media with the stroke of a thick brush. Nature's elements are so intertwined with a simple complexity and strong, raw beauty that I need to bring these characteristics into my work. | | |  DANIEL WASINGER ORIGINALS

As I sit here pondering the news that I got today, I can only think about how far I've come yet how much more work remains undone. Have you ever tried to write and produce an illustrated art book for "everyday people" using your own resources on your own free time? If not, I can't say I recommend it unless you're possessed by some overpowering sense of mission. It certainly won't be for "the money." But I digress. My new book, "THE ART OF EVERYDAY JOE: A COLLECTOR'S JOURNAL," has been honored with a National Best Books Award (Art Instructional Category). For me, this is simultaneously meaningless yet overwhelmingly meaningful. Let's face it, awards don't feed you, keep you warm at night or fill your gas tank. My book is the same exact book that it was BEFORE it won the award and I certainly haven't changed. However, maybe the art world will feel a tiny jolt. More on that in a moment.
