Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. VMFAMO_110204_183.JPG: Emile Just Bachelet Venus and Love, ca 1934 Ivory was a significant import for European countries, mostly Belgium and France, that had colonies in Africa. Emile Just Bachelet, who is celebrated for his life-size sculptures of animals carved in stone and bronze, also made objects in ivory. In this example, Bachelet preserved the form of the tusk and skillfully carved it into a nude Venus holding a small figure of Love. This sculpture was displayed in Paris in 1934 at the 24th Salon of the Society of Artists-Decorators and later in their pavilion at the 1937 International Exhibition of Arts and Techniques in Paris.
2. VMFAMO_110204_266.JPG: Georges de Feure Made by Hans Muller-Hickler (?) Windows ca 1901-2 Georges de Feure was an artist, designer, and interior decorator based in Paris around 1900. He was one of three artists chosen by Siegfried Bing to design interiors for Bing's pavilion at the World's Fair in Paris in 1900. De Feure designed stained-glass windows, textiles, carpets, glassware, and furniture for a boudoir. This window, designed by de Feure and probably made by Hans Muller-Hickler, shows a female figure surrounded by floral imagery. Commissioned by Bing, it was most likely also shown at the De Feure exhibition held in Bing's gallery in 1903.
3. VMFAMO_110204_404.JPG: Alphonse Mucha Cast by Emile Pinedo(?) Nature, ca 1900 Alphonse Mucha was a prolific artist associated with the Art Nouveau Movement in France. He is best known for his posters of sensuous female figures, including those of the celebrated French stage actress Sarah Bernhardt. In 1899, Mucha began to develop the concept of a female portrait bust representing Nature, which is now recognized as one of his most important sculptures. He displayed a cast of this sculpture in the Austrian section of the Paris World's Fair in 1900. The museum's example, most likely cast by Emile Pinedo, is one of six versions known to exist. The figure's swirling locks of hair show Mucha's skill in creating dynamic movement. Mucha thought so highly of this model that he also showed another example at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Arts in Turin in 1902.
4. VMFAMO_110204_571.JPG: Louis Comfort Tiffany: Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of Tiffany & Company cofounder Charles L. Tiffany, was originally trained as a painter, studying first with George Inness. Despite his initial career focus, he developed his interests in interior decoration and established his own firm in 1879. The firm had several names during its lifetime: Louis C. Tiffany and Company, Associated Artists; Tiffany Glass Company; Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company; and finally Tiffany Studios, which continued until 1932. Tiffany's offered leaded glass windows, glass vessels, lamps, mosaics, jewelry, furniture, ceramics, and other objects. The name of Louis Comfort Tiffany is now synonymous with the production of fine-art glass. The term favrile, a trade name for Tiffany's glass, is derived from the Latin term fabrilis meaning handmade. Tiffany oversaw the production of everything created by artists and craftsman at his firm. One particularly distinguished and celebrated artist was Clara Driscoll who designed the Wisteria and Cobweb lamps in addition to many other well known Tiffany lamps. Tiffany's triumphs at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893 established his international reputation, which led to numerous awards at foreign exhibitions and fairs. One of the most celebrated examples of Tiffany's Favrile glass for an international exhibition is the large punch bowl on display in this gallery, for which he received both a grand prize and a gold medal at the Paris World's Fair in 1900. The photograph reproduced here [not shown] shows Louis Comfort Tiffany's booth at the Fair; VMFA's punch bowl can be seen in the bottom right. Art dealer and patron Siegfried Bing recognized the importance of Tiffany's work, and his Parisian art gallery L'Art Nouveau became Tiffany's major distributor in Europe.

2011 photos: Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Savannah, GA, Chattanooga, TN), New Jersey over Memorial Day for my birthday (people never seem to visit New Jersey -- it's always just a pit stop on the way to New York. I thought I might as well spend a few days there. Despite some nice places, it still ended up a pit stop for me -- New York City was infinitely more interesting), my 6th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco). Ego strokes: Author photos that I took were used on two book jackets this year: Jason Emerson's book "The Dark Days of Abraham Lincoln's Widow As Revealed by Her Own Letters" and Dennis L. Noble's "The U.S. Coast Guard's War on Human Smuggling." I also had a photo of Jason Stelter published in the Washington Examiner and a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs camera as well as two Nikon models -- the D90 and the new D7000. Mostly a toy, I also purchased a Fuji Real 3-D W3 camera, to try out 3-D photographs. I found it interesting although I don't see any real use for 3-D stills now. Given that many of the photos from the 1860s were in 3-D (including some of the more famous Civil War shots), it's odd to see it coming back. Number of photos taken this year: just over 390,000.
