Anyone reading Anne of Carversville knows that I dislike intensely the work of photographer Terry Richardson. Looking at his spread of Mariacarla Boscono Nude in Muse Spring 2010, I’m reminded why. The photos are on Fashion Gone Rogue (image-rich fashion website)
This comment sums up my point of view:

A performance retrospective of Marina Abramović, with approximately 50 works spanning over four decades of her early interventions and sound pieces, video works, installations, photoraphs, solo performances, and collaborative performances made with Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen) will occupy New York’s MOMA from March 14 - May 31, 2010.
A new, original work performed by Abramović will mark the longest duration of time that she has performed a single solo piece. The exhibition will also feature the first live re-performance of Abramović’s works by other people ever to be undertaken in a museum setting. See MOMA website. Photo and tip via The Imagist.

‘Through the Heart of it All’ by Brian ReedTake a deeply controversial subject in America — nudity and public decency — and incorporate it into a complex art exhibit that strains engaged minds to understand the message, and then present it in an incoherent to read ChairandtheMaiden.com website. With any luck, your message will be lost and distorted, which is a shame when at rock bottom, you just may have something important to say. (I was there. See followup note.)
After shooting the gallery webmaster, let me send you to Brian Reed’s online website, where you can read a much more coherent story about his show ‘Through the Heart of It all’ in New York’s West Village. I’ll be stopping by tomorrow. More to come. I feel a kindred spirit here. Anne

Seeing this photo of Rose Cordero in the March 2010 French Vogue made me crazy until I found these Fernando Vicente’s Anatomy portraits. See The Modern Vanitas in NY Arts Magazine.
Fernanco VicenteThe French can relate to concepts like fading beauty, yet a still beautifully aristocratic humanity.

Frida Kahlo is always popular at Anne of Carversville. Today we posted Karl Lagerfeld’s Vogue Germany fashion editorial featuring Claudia Schiffer. One of my favorite fashion editorials is Iris Brosch photographing Laura Ponte as Frida Kahlo for a 1998 L’Officiel.
Considering ‘why’ Frida is featured as muse for Vogue Germany, I discovered that 2010 is the 100th year of Mexican independence. In Brussels, The Center for Fine Arts has launched a major exposition of Mexican art, including Frida Kahlo Y Su Mundo.
Enjoy this YouTube video about Frida’s feminist fight to define herself as a fully-developed woman within the strict confines of her Catholic, Mexican life and a strict, conservative mother.

These photos of Emanuela de Paula for Wish Report Brazil Feb. 2010, created by Jacques Dequeker are so not Rio — which is their beauty. I tend to find so much of the ethereral imagery of women to rob us of our strength and inner essence.
Not these photos by Jacques Dequeker for Brazil’s Wish Report.

Every once in a while a writer stops us in our tracks. I recognize the poetic is personal and any number of people could head Mary Helen Specht’s NYTimes Modern Love piece, saying ‘I Don’t Get It, Anne’.I do find a deeply personal humanity seeping through its words.
Because Anne of Carversville is an international website with a soft spot for the women of Africa, I became very emotional reading How Could I embrace a Village?
The waves of my own life came crashing over me, leaving me swimming fast to dry land.
Besides being a fine writer, Mary Helen Specht get high marks in how to build a simple good website. Enjoy your visit. Hopefully I can intrview this talented young writer MaryHelenSpecht.com. Anne
