C'était un Flamand de langue française. Auguste Beernaert est né en 1829 à Ostende d'un père fonctionnaire de l'enregistrement et des domaines, Bernard Beernaert (Evergem, 24 octobre 1795 - Bruxelles, 28 octobre 1862) et d'Euphrosine-Josèphe Royon (Ostende, 14 juin 1809 - Ixelles, 31 août 1888). Auguste Beernaert déménage en 1835 à Namur suite à la promotion de son père. Il poursuit des études secondaires classiques à domicile sous la houlette de ses parents, qui suivaient en cela les conseils d'un pédagogue français. Sa sœur Euphrosine devint plus tard peintre paysagiste. À dix-sept ans, il entre à la faculté de droit de l'Université catholique Louvain. Cinq ans plus tard, il en sort diplômé avec la plus grande distinction. Il reçoit également une bourse de mille francs pour visiter plusieurs universités européennes (Paris, Berlin et Heidelberg) afin d'y comparer les différentes méthodes d'apprentissage du droit. Son étude (175 pages) critique le centralisme napoléonien et loue l'autonomie laissée aux universités allemandes, même s'il juge positivement les examens annuels des institutions françaises. Elle sera transférée au ministère de l'Intérieur et fera l'objet par la suite d'une publication. Il entame ensuite une brillante carrière d'avocat (il s'inscrit au barreau de Bruxelles et prête serment le 15 octobre 1850 après un stage chez H...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt:Albert Claude Albert Claude (August 24, 1899 May 22, 1983) was a Belgian biologist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1974. He studied medicine at the University of Liege (Belgium). During the winter of 1928-29 he worked in Berlin , first at the Institut für Krebsforschung, and then at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biology , Dahlem . In the summer of 1929 he joined the Rockefeller Institute. While working at Rockefeller University in the 1930s and 1940s, he used the electron microscope to make images of cells which deepened the scientific understanding of cellular structure and function. He discovered the chloroplasts in the cell. In 1930, Claude discovered the process of cell fractionation , which was groundbreaking in his time. The process consists of grinding up cells to break the membrane and release the cell's contents. Claude then filtered out the cell membranes and placed the remaining cell contents in a centrifuge to separate them according to mass. He divided the centrifuged contents into fractions, each of a specific mass, and discovered that particular fractions were responsible for particular cell functions. In 1949, he became Director of the Institut Jules Bordet , Centre des Tumeurs de l'Université Libre de Bruxelles of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Brussels where he would stay until 1970.

Five Films About Christo and Jeanne-Claude chronicles a 30-year collaboration between the internationally renowned environmental artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, and acclaimed documentary filmmakers Albert and David Maysles. The Maysles brothers, along with such frequent co-filmmakers as Charlotte Zwerin and Susan Froemke, have captured the artists' enduring romantic and artistic relationship and the grandeur of their large-scale temporary public works. This series of award-winning films stands as a permanent document of the process, the political drama, the emotional investment, and the transforming effect the finished works have on all those who come into contact with them.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude's artistic undertakings are legendary. Whether they were surrounding islands off the coast of Florida in bright pink fabric, erecting a 24-mile-long, 18-foot-high fence of white cloth across two Northern California counties, or wrapping the Pont Neuf in Paris, their monumental works become narratives of hope and triumph in the face of adversity. And the act of filming becomes a project in and of itself, with the filmmakers present every step of the way, from planning and permission, to execution and display of these temporary artworks.

This three-DVD set is the most complete motion picture collaboration ever released between filmmakers and artists. Five award-winning films are included: Christo's Valley Curtain (1974), Running Fence (1978), Islands (1986), Christo in Paris (1990), and Umbrellas (1995). Each film has been digitally remastered with new transfers supervised by Albert Maysles, and the whole is presented along with new interviews and an 82-page, full-color booklet featuring stills, drawings, and essays.[The Maysles brothers] have made a compelling statement about the artist and society; Christo's success becomes personal, artistic, and allegorical triumph.-- Desson Howe, The Washington Post

Both Christo's projects and our films are outrageous acts of faith.--Albert MayslesFilms by The Maysles Brothers.
