POPSMy Love Must Wait:The Navigators,Baudin & Flinders 
In !802 despite war between two Captains countries, they met at Encounter Bay comparing science & charts.They agreed to respect each,s names on their coastal mapping. It was the French who set off first to the unknown edge of the continent still known as Terra Australis. Flinders gave Baudin nine months start. How, then, did The Englishman come to map most of the South Australian coast first? The answer lies, in part, here amongst the gathering of exquisite artworks. A portrait of a Tasmanian Aboriginal mother and baby, for instance, was one of several delicate and positive portraits and scenes by Nicolas-Matin Petik. Baudin's orders demanded that his scientists and illustrators undertake a study of these people for the new science of anthropology just founded in Paris. It all took time - months and months of it.

POPSMultidimensional space through art Generally for the sake of the illusion of 3 Dimensions and perspective. There are plenty of artists beside Escher that represent multidimensional space, but he does a particularly good job of it. The last stereogram at the bottom is the thinker. I ran out of characters. (you can always go to the site.) Stereograms can be annoying sometimes when you can't see what it is, and everyone else can. It can be like that, then suddenly one day a picture can jump out.

POPSRow over Russian held Art
Confirming the Russian move, Zinaida Bonami, of Moscow's Pushkin Fine Arts Museum, said the Russian federal cultural agency notified them on Tuesday that it would not issue an export license for the works, which include The Dance by Matisse and Maternity by Gaugin. This month Russia ordered the British Council to suspend its operations outside Moscow, accusing it of operating illegally — a decision Foreign Secretary David Miliband said threatened to damage Moscow's global standing. e said descendants of two prominent 19th and early 20th century Russian art collectors, Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov, had not ruled out legal action over their claims to the works. In 2003 Shchukin's grandson, Andre Marc Delocque-Fourcaud, sued in an unsuccessful bid to remove from the Pushkin's travelling exhibition paintings he claims the Bolsheviks looted from his grandfather in 1918. Delocque-Fourcaud's complaint centred on 25 artworks which included paintings by Picasso, Degas and Van Gogh
