Por que donos amam seus gatos? Uma pesquisa feita pela Associação Americana de Manufatura de Produtos Pets, nos Estados Unidos, perguntou à donos de gatos quais eram os maiores benefícios associados a serem donos desses animais. As pessoas que participaram da pesquisa poderiam escolher mais de um motivo. Os resultados apontam para os seguintes motivos como principais razões para ter um gato em casa e amá-los: • São ótimas companhias: 90% • Divertido assisti-los e é legal ter em casa: 73% • Alivia estresse: 62% • É como um membro da família: 60% • Fácil de manter: 57% A pesquisa contemplou também outros animais, como cachorros, peixes e répteis. Mais de metade dos participantes relataram que ter um animal em casa ajudou a fortalecer o senso de responsabilidade em seus filhos. Além disso, outros estudos comprovam que animais ativam a curiosidade das crianças e as ajudam a aprender. Na minha opinião, o maior benefício em ter um animal de estimação, é receber amor incondicional! ♥ E na sua opinião, qual é o maior benefício em ter um gato pra chamar de seu? → Fonte: Linkanimal.

Statistically speaking, owls are the most degraded of birds. But why must they suffer such indignities as these?

Our adorable furry companions provide us with company and devotion, yet there are instances when their actions baffle us. However, we find these moments amusing and have gathered some pictures to demonstrate that animals have their own unique approach to reasoning. Those who have owned or currently own a pet must have witnessed such behavior, and we aspire to bring a smile to your face as you get a glimpse into the thought process of your beloved pets.

Come with me to discover San Francisco’s surprise summer hit museum show, ‘Matisse from SFMOMA’, a creative co-production by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, SFMOMA (which is currently closed for major additions). The show, presented by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, showcases four decades of paintings, sculpture, and drawings from the two museums’ collections of Henri Matisse (1869-1954). It’s open through September 7, 2014, at the Legion of Honor museum (one of my favorites). What’s surprising about the show is that San Francisco has had a century-long, close relationship Henri Matisse. In 1904 the San Francisco-based Steins—Gertrude Stein and her brother Michael Stein, and his wife, Sarah, and their younger brother Leo, an art critic—invited Henri Matisse, then unknown, to exhibit in their private art and literature salons on rue Madame and rue Fleurus in Paris. It’s often said in art circles that the art-filled Stein salon in Paris of that period was the first ‘museum of modern art’, showing Picasso’s latest works as well as Matisse, Renoir, Manet, Gauguin and others not yet accepted by the art hierarchy. San Francisco collectors were among the first to appreciate and support Matisse—at a time when he was rejected by the classical art salons in Paris (though collected in-depth by Russian devotees, with paintings shown at The Hermitage to this day). It is not surprising then that collectors in Northern California, such as the art-loving heirs of Levi Strauss and today Diane B. Wilsey, have beautiful examples of Matisse’s work in their collections. This delightful show, Matisse at SFMOMA offers a closer look at several paintings that are in private residences in San Francisco. One vibrant painting, “Chrysanthemums in a Chinese Vase’ hangs on the walls of Ann and Gordon’s house. It can be seen in my recent book, ‘Ann Getty Interior Style’. And Diane B. Wilsey’s lovely ‘ The Pink Blouse’, always in her residence, is here to peruse. The show—an overview of Matisse’s colorful and compelling lifework—includes several exquisite landscapes from private San Francisco collections, and other works that are seldom in exhibitions. It’s a quiet show, awaiting your gaze and pleasure. I’ve written about Henri Matisse paintings, and Matisse in the South of France quite often. You can check out my visit to his Nice residence, Villa la Reve here. I enjoyed seeing the development of Matisse’s art and craft in this current show at the Legion. In particular, I’m fascinated by the work he created in the twenties…after he returned from Morocco with Moroccan décor and fabrics, and with specific models in pretty dresses who pose in textile-draped scenes. Jointly organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), Matisse from SFMOMA brings together the work of Henri Matisse (French, 1869–1954) from both institutions’ collections for the presentation at the Legion of Honor. The single-gallery exhibition features 23 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from SFMOMA’s internationally acclaimed Matisse collection, alongside four important paintings and drawings from the Fine Arts Museums’ holdings, and works from private local collections. On view until September 7, 2014, Matisse from SFMOMA traces four decades of Matisse’s career. Matisse moved to Nice in 1917 to distance himself from wartime activity. The bright, warm colors of the South of France showed him "simpler venues which won’t stifle the spirit." His spirit became loyal to the "silver clarity of light" in Nice, and he returned to Paris only for a few months each summer. The years 1917–30 are known as his early Nice period, when his principal subject remained the female figure or an odalisque dressed in oriental costume or in various stages of dress and undress, depicted as standing, seated, or reclining in a luxurious, exotic interior of Matisse's own creation. These paintings are infused with southern light, bright colors, and a profusion of decorative patterns. They emanate atmosphere. “It is a true pleasure to offer the collaborative efforts of our two institutions to our community,” declared Colin B. Bailey, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco director. “San Francisco is fortunate to be home to impressive collections of Matisse’s work, and we are pleased to present the works together for the first time at the Legion of Honor, which is known for its outstanding holdings of European art.” “We are delighted to present these masterworks from our collection in such a stunning setting at the Fine Arts Museums,” said Neal Benezra, SFMOMA director. “Particularly exciting is the rare opportunity to view these Matisse works—so beloved by the public—in a fresh, new light.” Matisse from SFMOMA is part of SFMOMA’s extensive off-site programming while its building is temporarily closed for expansion construction. Through early 2016, SFMOMA is on the go, presenting a dynamic slate of jointly organized and traveling exhibitions, public art displays and site-specific installations, and newly created education programs throughout the Bay Area. Matisse from SFMOMA Overview Matisse’s expressive canvases were first introduced to San Francisco shortly after the 1906 earthquake, shocking the arts community with their startling colors and brushwork. Since then, the Bay Area has maintained a fervent connection to the artist’s work, resulting in SFMOMA’s rich collection, which showcases pieces from Matisse’s early career, and continues through the 1930s. Matisse from SFMOMA includes important examples from the artist’s Fauve period, along with other significant paintings, drawings, and bronzes. Iconic works such as a sketch from “The Joy of Life” (1905‒1906), The Girl with Green Eyes (1908), and portraits of the artist’s early patrons Michael and Sarah Stein (1916) are featured along with major sculptural studies that include Madeleine, I (1901), The Serf (1900–1903), and Large Head: Henriette II (1927). Also on view are pre-Fauve still lifes and landscapes, as well as The Conversation (1938), a later decorative interior. Selections from the Fine Arts Museums’ collection include the vibrant and exquisitely patterned Young Woman in Pink (1923) from the collection of Diane B. Wilsey, and an early nude painted in the academic manner Faith, the Model (ca. 1901). This nude was formerly owned by the Steins and displayed in their Paris apartment, as were many of the works in SFMOMA’s holdings. Books on Matisse: ‘Matisse the Master The Life of Henri Matisse, The Conquest of Color 1909—1954’ by Hilary Spurling (Knopf) is very well researched and it's very academic in its detail, insight and information about ever aspect of his life and work. I found it compelling, as it speaks of influences on his work, locations where he loved to paint, his trip to Morocco that was so influential, and the models he painted. I’m interested in the period in the twenties and thirties when he worked so happily at Villa le Reve in the hills near Nice…the lovely house and garden I visited. Learning of his life offers understanding of his changing subjects, and the styling of his models’ outfits and scenes. It’s a massive book, essential for an art lover, and especially a Matisse fan. ‘Matisse in Morocco’ Paintings 1912-13. Published by the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC. Essential for reference of this period and its influence on subsequent paintings. The book offers vivid insight into Matisse’s sketches, colors and styles. Most detailed it’s excellent for learning more about ‘how art happens’. Taschen has fine books on Matisse’s paintings, depicting a broad range of the finest works, and with brief biographical insight. There are also several new books on the ‘cut-outs’, with recent exhibitions in London sparking renewed interest. "In modern art, it is undoubtedly to Cézanne that I owe the most." —Henri Matisse About the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, comprising the de Young in Golden Gate Park and the Legion of Honor in Lincoln Park is the largest public arts institution in San Francisco. The Legion of Honor, San Francisco The de Young originated from the 1894 California Midwinter International Exposition and became the Memorial Museum. Thirty years later, it was renamed in honor of Michael H. de Young, a longtime champion of the museum. The present copper-clad, landmark building, designed by Herzog and de Meuron, opened in October 2005. It showcases the institution’s significant collections of American painting, sculpture, and decorative arts from the 17th to the 21st centuries; art from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas; costume and textile arts; and international contemporary art. The Legion of Honor architecture was inspired by the French pavilion at San Francisco’s Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915, which was a replica of the Palais de la Légion d’Honneur in Paris. The museum opened in 1924 in the Beaux Arts–style building designed by George Applegarth, on a bluff overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Its holdings span 4,000 years and include European painting, sculpture, and decorative arts; ancient art from the Mediterranean basin; and the largest collection of works on paper in the American West. About the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Founded as the first West Coast museum devoted to modern and contemporary art, SFMOMA is currently undergoing a major expansion project that will significantly enhance its gallery, education, and public spaces, enabling the museum to better showcase its expanded permanent collection and serve its growing audiences. During the construction of its new building from the summer of 2013 to early 2016, the museum is moving beyond its walls and into the community with an extensive array of off-site programming throughout the city and region.
