Kariyeri hem sessiz film döneminde ve hem talkie döneminde devam etti. 1931'de The Front Page için Akademi Ödülü'ne aday gösterildi. Yukarıdaki yazının yazıldığı tarihte Türkiye’de gösterilmiş olan en popüler filmi, “Yanık Kalpler” olarak çevrilmiş olan Morocco’ydu.<img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/10/2/1669719411229.png" width="550" height="457" style="width: 100%; max-width: 550px; vertical-align: middle; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" ratio="1.20" fr-original-style="width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">Morocco filminden bir sahne.

Bu sebeple, Alman Demokratik Cumhuriyeti (GDR) yandaşları, genellikle batılı muhalifleri Menjou tarzı bıyıklarla tasvir etti. GDR'nin propagandasına göre bu tarz bıyıklar, bir siyasi muhalefet ifadesiydi. Bu bıyık tarzı bir çeşit sembol hâline geldi. Almanya sinemasında ve tiyatrosunda şüpheliler, oportünistler, yozlaşmış politikacılar, dolandırıcılar, evlilik sahtekarları ve diğer suçlular bu tarz bıyık ile resmedildi. Bu bıyık tarzına Almanya’da hâlâ Menjou-Bärtchen deniyor.Ayrıca Salvador Dalí de kendisine hayrandı. Menjou’nun bıyıklarını&nbsp;"la moustache d'Adolphe Menjou est surréaliste" ("Adolphe Menjou'nun bıyığı sürrealisttir") diyerek sürrealist ilan etti.<img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/10/2/1669719410624.png" width="550" height="385" style="width: 100%; max-width: 550px; vertical-align: middle; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" ratio="1.43" fr-original-style="width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">Avangard fotoğrafçı Umbo'nun en ünlü fotoğraflarından biri "Menjou En Gros" başlıklığını taşır.

At the moment, I live in Walthamstow. Here, you can’t see skyscrapers or contemporary architecture. This area is not filled with newly constructed buildings or social housing estates. Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian, two or three-storey single and semi-detached homes reside in my neighbourhood. Moving towards the central by the overground, the urban pattern changes every second and London’s architectural library becomes visible. From the East towards the Central, there are many examples of old modernist social housing estates followed by buildings such as the Barbican which represent the brutalist period after World War II. Moreover, tall contemporary new-builds become very visible. Towards the Central River Thames area, you see all the historical buildings that belong to movements such as Baroque, Romanesque and Gothic. But for me, London can be described with 5 particular buildings.<h2 dir="ltr" fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;"><img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/10/1/1669029500909.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="1.50" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"></h2><h4 fr-original-style="text-align: center;" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Tate Modern Terrace, source Hufton + Crow</h4><hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;"><h2 dir="ltr" fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Building: Tate Modern</h2>Neighbourhood: Southbank. Architect: Herzog &amp; de MeuronOnce a Bankside Power Station built by Giles Gilbert Scott who designed the iconic red telephone boxes, now an art gallery, Tate Modern is an essential space for art history and contemporary culture of art. Henry Tate, a 19th-century sugar merchant from Liverpool, donated his collection of contemporary paintings and £80,000 to the government which are now in Tate’s permanent collection alongside Marilyn Diptych (1962) by Andy Warhol, Nude Woman With Necklace (1968) by Pablo Picasso, Mountain Lake (1938) by Salvador Dalí.

Architect: Neave BrownOnce a social housing estate, still a social housing estate/private residence, it is a crucial example of modernist architecture and council housing. Along with 520 apartments, the site includes a school, community centre, youth club, heating complex, and parkland. The estate was granted Grade II &nbsp;listed status on 18 August 1993, the first post-war council housing estate to be listed. It was featured in Foals – "Mountain At My Gates" video. Try to speak with the residents, I would say. We did some studying and the number of people who spent a lifetime on this estate is crazy.<img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/10/1/1669029732098.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="1.51" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"><h4 fr-original-style="text-align: center;" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Barbican Estate</h4><hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;"><h2 dir="ltr" fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Building: Barbican</h2>Neighbourhood: Barbican. Architect: Chamberlin, Powell and BonOnce the centre of the rag trade, and home to fabric and leather merchants, furriers, glovers and a host of other tradesmen, a Grade II listed building, the Barbican is one of London’s best examples of Brutalist architecture. Now it’s used as one of London's major venues for events, concerts, and exhibitions, and also a residential complex of around 2,000 flats and maisonettes. The history of the Barbican, a utopian vision to transform an area of London left devastated by bombs during the Second World War should definitely <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.barbican.org.uk/our-story/our-archive/construction" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">be read</a>.

Architect: Stanton Williams ArchitectsThe building was built for unloading and storing wheat for London's bakers in 1851, it was turned into the University of CSM College of Arts in 1989. Granary Square was given to us as a case study in our first year of BA architecture. The square is a shapeshifter, every season it serves different activities and social spaces. It facilitates a quick escape from Kings Cross in general. I am not 100% sure if I really like the building because I studied there but, go visit, and see for yourself. Please try to check these details out: The very high ceilings of the building, people smoking next to the Waitrose, the amazing bookshop next to the canal where concerts happen occasionally, and kids and dogs playing in the fountains in summer or winter time.<h2 dir="ltr" fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;"><img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/10/1/1669045654721.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="1.50" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"></h2>Battersea Power Station<hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;"><h2 dir="ltr" fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Building: Battersea Power Station</h2>Neighbourhood: Battersea. Architect: WilkinsonEyre did the restoration of the building however quite a few architects were involved in the actual building of the work such as Giles Gilbert Scott and Frank Gehry.Once a Coal-fired power station, now 'a place for locals, tourists and residents to enjoy a unique blend of shops, bars, restaurants, entertainment venues, parks and historical spaces' as it says on its website. I haven’t been to this space -yet-, so it is difficult to explain why I recommend it. But the area really has been regenerating thanks to this development. People have been buying houses for the past 5 years because of this building and it is finally open to the public. I know that the architecture is magnificent with a lot of Mediaeval details. Also, there aren’t many examples of large-scale Art Deco-style buildings in London, so it should be worth giving a try.

Yoksa ılık mı? Rüzgârın da adı, güneşin de. Belki de kum demeliyiz. Zaman parmaklarımızın arasından kayıp gittiğine göre. Ama bize sorarsanız Akdeniz’i anlatan enfes bir kelime var: al fresco. Yani, açık havada, dışarıda, sokaklarda, havadar, püfür püfür. O yüzden güneşin sıcaklığında, ağaçların önümüze açtığı gölge yolda ilerliyoruz Akdeniz’de, al fresco modunda.Al fresco San Calisto. Çeşmenin yanında, az önce pazardan aldığı sandviçi yiyen üniversiteli çocuk takılıyor. T cetveli ele verdi mimar olduğunu. Şapkalı beyler; vespalarının kasklarını o günkü eteklerinin rengine uydurmuş kızlar; turuncu çoraplı ayakkabılar; olağan kalabalıklar. Pıt. Şarabın tıpası da patladığına göre, akşamüzerine, aperatif saatine hazır meydanlar. Bar San Calisto'dayız. Bir zamanlar şehrin her iki yakasına da hâkim olmak için Romalılar tarafından ele geçirilen, ardından balıkçıların ve göçmenlerin mahallesi olan Trastevere’nin ortasında. Ay, gökyüzünde yerini sağlamlaştırıp, kraterlerini göstermeye başladığı anda istikamet eski otomobil tamircisi, şimdi bar olan Freni e Frizioni.Cadaqués. Costa Brava’da resmî olarak 2,612 kişilik nüfusu olan bu kasaba, Pablo Picasso'nun ilhamı; Marcel Duchamp'ın balıkçılarla satranç meydanı; Joan Miró, René Magritte, Eliseu Meifrèn gibi pek çok sanatçının durağı. Yan koyda, Port Lligat'de komşusu da Salvador Dalí olmuş.Çantanda bir şişe roze, bira, krik krak, humus da varsa dünyanın hemen her yeri sana al fresco. Yunanistan’da Milos Adası’ndaki Sarakiniko; Yannis Gaitis’in Yüzsüz Adam eserlerini sokakta göreceğin Ios; Atina’da havalar çok sıcakladığında şemsiyeni alıp da gittiğin Porto Germano; Lavrion Limanı’ndan bir saatlik yolculukla ulaşacağın Kea gibi mesela.Yunanistan'dan kuzeye, Akdeniz boyunca ilerlediğimizde, Hırvatistan'a, daha da kesin koordinatlar vermek istersek 42.9297° K, 16.8886° B'da Korčula'ya varıyoruz. Çam, zeytin ağaçları, bağlarla çevrili adada al fresco yaşamak çok kolay. Žrnovo, Pupnatska Luka plajlarından birine seriliyor, güneşi kesen açıda bir kitaba dalıyoruz. Bizim sayfalarımızda Ece Temelkuran Bu da Geçer akıyor.Güneşin gökyüzüne ve ruhumuza veda etme saatine yakın doluyor masalar. Derya Beach, Kaş'ta sırtını denize dönmek yasak. Arkada yavaştan çalan Ayten Alpman - Pencere’ye bardakların sesi, ohh çekişler ve yavaşlık eşlik ediyor bu yaz.Dünyanın kapladığı alan bakımından en küçük onuncu ülkesinde olmanın getirdiği bir huzur var Valletta sokaklarında. Ve Akdeniz'deki stratejik konumu sebebiyle tarihte Romalılar, Araplar, Yunanlılar, Normandiyalılar, Aragon Krallığı, İngilizler, Fransızlar tarafından fethedilmek istenmiş olmanın getirdiği bir çoğunluk. Gün batıyor Malta'da ve biz ilerliyoruz, bugün Dingli Cliffs, yarın Fomm ir-Riħ, bir başkasında Mdina tarafına.Fes'in medinalarında, kokunun peşinden yürüyoruz bu kez. Safran, karabiber, kimyon, anason, kakule, Hindistan cevizi karışımı. Fas'a özgü yahni tagine içinde kullanılan bu baharatın adı: ras el hanout. Al fresco'ya rayihası sinmiş.

Deniz, turkuvaz, güneş, rüzgâr, toprak, orman, ağaç, ferahlık, esinti… Akdeniz bir kelime olsaydı ne olurdu dedik; püfür püfür al fresco geldi akıllara. Al fresco, al fresco, al fresco; neresi al fresco? Dilimizin ucunda…

It depicts Gala Dalí, Salvador Dalí's wife and muse, as pieced together through a series of spheres arranged in a continuous array. The name Galatea refers to a sea nymph of Classical mythology renowned for her virtue, and may also refer to the statue beloved by its creator, Pygmalion.Measuring 65.0 x 54.0 cm, the painting depicts the bust of Gala composed of a matrix of spheres seemingly suspended in space. It represents a synthesis of Renaissance art and atomic theory and illustrates the ultimate discontinuity of matter, the spheres themselves representing atomic particles.
