Excerpt:Appearances (Goals). National team caps and goals correct as of 15 June 2008Jaroslav Plail (born 5 January 1982 in Opono) is a Czech footballer who currently plays for Bordeaux and the Czech Republic. Plail, aged 18, was signed by Monaco in 2000 but in his first two-year spell he could only pick 8 matches as a starter and was subsequently loaned to Ligue 2 club Créteil. After a decent performance, Plail returned to Monaco at the start of the 2003 season and for the next four years he was a regular in the starting team and even enjoyed his finest moment in the 200304 season when the principality side reached the final of the UEFA Champions League. In that season, Plail contributed a goal to Monaco's record-breaking 83 defeat of Deportivo. In 2007, Plail ended his successful second spell with Monaco and signed a four-year contract with Spanish side Osasuna. On 8 June 2009, Bordeaux signed the Czech midfielder from Osasuna on a four-year deal. Plail played for the Czech Republic at Euro 2004, 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008. On June 15, in the Czech Republic's final Group A match against Turkey, Plail scored in the 62nd minute to give his team a 20 lead and apparently send them into a quarter-final meeting with Croatia. However Turkey came back and scored three goals in the last fifteen minutes and, despite Jan Koller getting Turkish goalkeeper Volkan Demirel sent off in second half injury time, Turkey advanced instead.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Reon, est un peintre et un sculpteur tchèque né à Prague le 21 juillet 1948. Au fil des ans, cet artiste s'est fait connaître par un univers pictural onirique très particulier où se mêlent inspirations gothique, contes et légendes et new-age. Au-delà de l'originalité de son œuvre, Reon est également un personnage excentrique, haut en couleurs, auquel sa haute taille et une longue barbe confèrent un indéniable charisme. Fils d'un metteur en scène de théâtre, il a gardé de son enfance le goût du déguisement. Aujourd'hui encore, il apparaît au public vêtu d'un lourd manteau de velours et d'un grand chapeau. En raison du contexte politique hostile aux artistes hors-catégories tels que lui, Reon est contraint de quitter la Tchécoslovaquie en 1968, alors devenue satellite du « grand frère » soviétique. Après un périple en Suisse et en Italie, il choisit la France pour terre d'accueil. D'abord attiré par les côtes bretonnes, sur les traces de Gauguin, c'est plus précisément en mai 1971 qu'il s'installe en plein cœur de la forêt de Quénécan qui lui rappelle les forêts de sa Bohême natale. Le Comte de Pontavice, propriétaire des lieux, lui offre l'hospital...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
From Picasso to Pollock highlights the history of the aesthetic vanguard from early Modernism through Abstract Expressionism. With distinctive focus yet remarkable comprehensiveness, From Picasso to Pollock unites the major artists and developments of the first half of the 20th century through significant examples of non-objective, Cubist, Surrealist, Expressionist, and Abstract Expressionist painting and sculpture. A deep and broad assembly of masterpieces has been chosen from the Guggenheim's formative collection, and through it the viewer may perceive the era of Modern art emerging in all its diversity and complexity. Included here are reproductions of and short texts on seminal works by Brancusi, Braque, Chagall, de Kooning, Delaunay, Ernst, Fontana, Kandinsky, Klee, Léger, Malevich, Matisse, Miró, Modigliani, Mondrian, Popova, and Schiele. Narrative biographies on a number of these artists are included, as well as a short, illustrated history of the collection by Lisa Dennison.~From Picasso to Pollock is the second in a trilogy from the Guggenheim which highlights the greatest strengths of the museum's collection. The first title, Moving Pictures, showcased contemporary photography and video, and the third, Primary Forms, considered Minimalism, Conceptualism, and their more contemporary progeny.
