The drawing is to realize a play ahead, because I'm only trying something on the drawing of sculpture which may not provide the plastic All the time.

Skating season in Germany. Moments before the Championship, nervousness in the dressing room.

If they do not verstolpern her free skate, she will win the Championship title in the ice dance in a row in Krefeld for the 6th time.
Before their crucial appearance, Erich Buck were A few comments to their laboriously worked out freestyle.
"We begin the first piece of music with a Mexican Waltz. At the end of this piece, we have the Ravensburger Durchrutscher, Angelica and I have invented and which is one of the highlights of our freestyle for years. The following Mexican Hatdance with a slow and a fast part."
It has worked out. The German champions, whose Kür twice has been rated the highest score of 6, go after this success confident World Cup Bratislava. In Stockholm, the Swedish Academy awarded the Nobel Prize for literature on Heinrich Böll. The eulogy paid tribute to the work this politically engaged writer contributing to the issue of homelessness and the aesthetics of the humane.
Heinrich Böll - so it is named on - belong to a new generation of poets, thinkers and researchers in Germany, which was after the catastrophe of the second world war, to cope with the main tasks of its country in the intellectual life of our time.

After an appeal of the interim President of Ludwig Erhard for the unity of the German nation, the German Bundestag elected its new President. The choice was - for the first time in the history of the German Parliament on a woman. "Woman deputies Renger, I ask you, assume the election?" "I suppose the choice."
Thus, the second-highest office in the Federal Republic of Germany was occupied with a Social Democrat, who in 1945 began her career on the side of Kurt Schumacher and has worked in recent years for the emancipation of women in the society.
The Social Democrats and free Democrats, who have emerged from the last election with a safe majority, had proposed only a Chancellor candidate: the Nobel Peace Prize winner Willy Brandt, who has already fought a successful East and Germany policy during the previous parliamentary term as Chancellor. Willy Brand was re-elected. "I ask the MEPs Brandt: assume the election?" "Yes, Madam President, I suppose the choice." "I am hereby, that the deputies Brandt to the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany is elected."
The expansion of the European Community to the political Union and the continuation of domestic policy reforms are the most important tasks of the Federal Government for the next four years. After congratulating the opposition leader Rainer Barzel and the congratulations of the coalition partner of Walter Scheel, Willy Brandt was sworn in as Chancellor.
"I swear that I mean people devoted to the benefit of the German force, increase its benefits, it prevent damage, the basic law and the laws of the Federal Government to preserve and defend, conscientiously fulfill my duties and justice will practise against anyone. So help me God."
In the Cabinet of Willy Brandt, Walter Scheel is also at the head of the Foreign Ministry; Helmut Schmidt was Minister of finance and the Egon Bahr tested in Germany politics Minister for special tasks in an extended resort.
Tanned and well recovered the Chancellor opened his Government statement with that set, with whom he had concluded his program in 1969.
"We To want to be a nation of good neighbors inside and outside. It gathers the confidence on which we rely. In it, we recognize also the sum of the obligations that bind us to the responsibility for the whole of the people. Ladies and gentlemen, the word of "Good neighbourliness" shows their own, distinctive style has won our desire for continuity. It is determined by the content of our policy of active peacekeeping and social reforms."

You know this city, intersection of political interests, seam between East and West Berlin.
Fascinated by its intellectual climate. Classical and avant-garde lead here a lively dialogue, a At home for people who live by the inspiration: writers, musicians, painters and sculptors.
"I thought again and again, to leave Berlin and I've Herum looked everywhere for other places. But again, Me too found its way back and felt here just yet again at home, although one can describe's not closer. I stayed there just."
Bernhard Heiliger. His sculptures are in Paris, Brussels, New York and Of course in Berlin. I think he's the greatest living German sculptor. He informs his work.
"I draw A lot Very much because I'm interested in just the drawing as a drawing. There is a closed graphic work that accompanied the sculpture All the time, though never for the sculpture, there are points of contact Of course but necessarily, actually but an afterthought in addition to my sculptural work. The drawing is always the sculpture to a step ahead because I only try something on the drawing to realize what can not even bring the plastic.
The diagonal plays a main role in me, I think first and foremost, because she are dynamic and dynamics is a notable feature for me."
"The new must arise just inevitably from the previous and materials come into Of course, which you previously not thought, for example this film drawings, which I did. They make room suddenly or they result in transparency or transparency or something, which you previously not thought. To run around a rod or a wire to the shape as an accompaniment, enhances the shape and is nerve points, again highlighting the whole thing at the same time.
Basically, I'm someone who would have cast each piece in a metal. The bronze is with everything, what I want. I can be very soft and delicate and transparent, I can be quite stable and hard in my form.
A sculpture has a thousand views. There is no home, no next page. You have to go around them, to really understand it - take also time - she must however always, I think, be aimed at the people out. That is, on its size, be his eye point.
You can never make up something special in the art. You can make are not many theories. You can just To try to do what wants to be in a form and if you do, what you want in one, then it is right and then it is real. Then it is not only him but also the time in which he lives."

Her sardonic smile has survived centuries and yet no mask corresponds to exactly the other. The Physiognomies of the Alemannic Carnival have narrated the Schnitzer in the Black Forest: the middle ages, plague and war times are in the faces dug, which should dispel the ghosts. Once in the year they compete in the small black forest towns the rule.
The Carnival or Carnival, the last days of lush life before the Lenten season use many to slip in another skin, to tell truths behind the mask of evil, the cynic or the fools, who are not allowed.
Often, the change in meaning of masks and costumes has blurred its original sense. For most people, it is a fun and original commemoration of their own history, at times, where, still no satellite determined the General weather situation, but where it was believed the winter to sell when they burned hay.
