CNN —In the land of Hello Kitty, kawaii (“cute”) culture and the Neo-Pop art of 1990s Japan, Tetsuya Ishida was an outlier. An untitled 2004 acrylic and oil painting by late Japanese artist Tetsuya Ishida from the Gagosian retrospective "My Anxious Self." Ishida, who had gone to art school, worked part-time at a print shop and as a night security guard. Many of the 200 or so paintings Ishida completed in his lifetime portray the gloom of becoming a cog in the economic machine. Another painting entitled "Gripe," painted by Ishidia in 1996, portrays a Japanese salaryman with lobster claws for hands.

The silver crown is set with diamonds. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds and seed pearls are peppered through the design. And the red velvet cap inside would be fit to cushion the head of a monarch. Scrutiny of Britain’s royal family was supercharged this past week by the announcement of King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis, which followed the hospitalization of Catherine, Princess of Wales, in January. But while the modern monarchy finds itself under a sometimes unwelcome microscope, the dolls’ house has for a century allowed visitors to peer inside the rooms of a palace — albeit at a tiny scale.

In one of the new stories, people become obsessed with climbing ladders until one fellow disappears into the sky. “Green” is about a town that gets rid of its lawns and trees, only to long for them back. From hints in his diary, it appears that he liked to lie on her stomach and make love to her navel. In another scene, a naked little woman slides down a large man’s ear, to apparently profound effect. Little things become fashionable.

Combustibilul livrat de Israel este finanţat de Qatar, a precizat pentru AFP un responsabil din serviciile de securitate ale statului evreu. Săptămâna trecută, Israelul a reînnoit serviciul poştal către teritoriul palestinian şi a permis reluarea unor exporturi de produse agricole şi îmbrăcăminte. De asemenea, a extins zona de pescuit acordată locuitorilor din Fâşia Gaza de la şase la nouă mile marine şi a permis importul de materii prime pentru "uzinele civile esenţiale". În Israel, tirurile de rachete dinspre enclavă au făcut 13 morţi, printre care un soldat, potrivit poliţiei şi armatei.
