A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.
Most early representations that are clearly intended to show an individual are of rulers, and tend to follow idealizing artistic conventions, rather than the individual features of the subject's body, though when there is no other evidence as to the ruler's appearance the degree of idealization can be hard to assess. Nonetheless, many subjects, such as Akhenaten and some other Egyptian pharaohs, can be recognised by their distinctive features. The 28 surviving rather small statues of Gudea, ruler of Lagash in Sumeria between c. 2144 - 2124 BC, show a consistent appearance with some individuality.
Kerry Allen Livgren (born September 18, 1949) is an American musician and songwriter, best known as one of the founding members and primary songwriters for the 1970s progressive rock band, Kansas.
Livgren was raised in Topeka, Kansas by his father, Allen Leroy, an industrial engineer, and his mother, Betty (nee McElhiney). He was drawn to music at a young age, his first musical interests developed with classical and jazz influences. His musical odyssey started with an electric guitar he built using a cheap Stella guitar, a Sears amplifier and a low-quality Astatic microphone. Along with learning guitar, Livgren also focused on learning to write songs due to his desire for more creative expression and originality. He attended Washburn University for some time.
Livgren was a member of numerous bands in the late 1960s and early 1970s and quickly developed a reputation for complex compositions and poetic lyrics that explored spiritual themes. His investigations into various religions are reflected in the lyrics of his songs on Kansas' first six albums. He explored themes such as reincarnation, astral travel, apparitions, nihilism and human frailty, among others.

A photograph is shaped more by the person behind the camera than by what's in front of it. To prove this we invited six photographers to a portrait session with a twist. ‘Decoy’ is one of six experiments from The Lab, designed to shift creative thinking behind the lens.

Enoch zu Guttenberg is considered an outstanding interpreter of great oratorios and symphonic works between the baroque and late-romantic periods. He has developed his unique style by consistently succeeding in uniting opposites: elements of historical performance practice on the one hand; modern, vital forms of expression on the other. His success is also based on his long years of work with the Chorgemeinschaft Neubeuern, which he became acquainted with almost 40 years ago when they were a rural “Liedertafel” and which he transformed into a world-class ensemble, as well as his cooperation with the KlangVerwaltung Orchestra, which he co-founded in 1997. Since 1999 Enoch zu Guttenberg has been art director of the international Herrenchiemsee Festival. A film by Angelika Lizius Subscribe ...
Pictures at an Exhibition (Russian: Картинки с выставки -- Воспоминание о Викторе Гартмане, Kartinki s vystavki -- Vospominaniye o Viktore Gartmane, "Pictures from an Exhibition -- A Remembrance of Viktor Hartmann") is a suite composed for piano by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky in 1874. The suite is Mussorgsky's most famous piano composition, and has become a showpiece for virtuoso pianists. It has become further known through various orchestrations and arrangements produced by other musicians and composers, with Ravel's arrangement being the most recorded and performed. It was probably in 1870 that Mussorgsky met artist and architect Viktor Hartmann. Both men were devoted to the cause of an intrinsically Russian art and quickly became friends. Hartmann died from an aneurysm i...

Here is Leviathan's legendary material (only) from the split with Russia's Blackdeath. 95% or more people only want to listen to just this side of the album in my opinion, not to mention this particular material is criminally under-appreciated & over-looked. Fun fact: This split material was created during the same time, & using the very same setup as the mighty Tentacles Of Whorror, which is why it sounds so...familar. I believe this is also the last material Jef used his Roland drum kit for. This album has a very different feel & atmosphere than did ToW, however; which is a good thing. We don't need another of the same album. That said, I feel that this is Jef's strongest material next to The Blind Wound, Massive Conspiracy Against All Life, & Tentacles Of Whorror. The only problem, i...

In this video, I talk about the controversial Byzantine emperor, Justinian II. Justinian II ruled from 685-695 and again from 705-715 and has been remembered primarily for his acts of vengeance on the men who deposed him. However, there is a great deal more to the story and I have endeavored to present a balanced and even-keeled portrait of Justinian II and his time.
