The Sculpture Garden Created by Paul and Jeannette Haim | Christie's


In the garden of their home in the south of France Paul Haim and Jeannette Leroy assembled a collection of sculptures by some of the great figures of 20th-century art — and planted it so that they were hidden, discoverable only ‘one after the other’. The garden dates from the late 1960s, when Paul Haim (1921-2006) — a Parisian art dealer and collector known for introducing Japanese audiences to Impressionist and Modern art — bought a small farm on the Basque coast with his wife, the painter and photographer Jeannette Leroy (1928-2020). Within a few years, the garden had grown and become a magical backdrop to a private collection of monumental sculpture, which will be offered for sale at Christie’s in Paris on 22 October. Titled The Secret Garden of Paul Haim, the sale follows an exhibition of the works at Kering’s historic headquarters on the rue de Sèvres from 15-22 October.

Podcast #461: The Spartan Regime | The Art of Manliness


For thousands of years, the Spartans have captured the imaginations of Westerners. In ancient Greece, the city-state was admired for its military prowess, civic unity, and dedication to leisurely athletic pursuits. Today, we make movies about Spartans and name sports teams after them. When we moderns think of Spartans, we typically think of them simply as fierce warriors. But while the Spartans were indeed warriors par excellence, their culture was much more complex. Today on the show, I unpack some of these complexities with historian Paul Rahe. Paul is working on a series of books with Yale University Press which explore both the military and political strategy of the Spartans. We begin our conversation discussing why it’s hard for us moderns to truly understand Sparta. We then dig into the history and culture of Spartans, including where they came from, their economic set-up and relationship with the helot population, and the strenuous upbringing of boys that made them fit for battle. We then talk about the mixed government of the Spartans. We end our conversation discussing how the city-state faded into obscurity, and why the Spartans yet live on in modern culture. Show Highlights How much do we really know about ancient Sparta? Why it’s so hard to understand Sparta using our modern cultural framework Misconceptions we have of ancient cultures The role of secrecy (and brevity) to Spartan culture Where did the Spartans originally come from? The history of the Helots (the subjugated peoples of Sparta), and why it wasn’t slavery in the way we understand it The agoge — the Spartan training program for children Where did Spartan boys go after the agoge was completed? The role and importance of art — poetry, music, pottery — in Sparta Why Sparta was looked up to by their contemporaries Laconic wit and brevity How Sparta was organized differently than other city-states What Spartans were like in battle How long did the Spartan regime last? Why does popular culture seem to praise and look up to Sparta more than other city-states? Follow us! https://ift.tt/YAd15k http://twitter.com/artofmanliness

Podcast #459: Beyond Gratitude Lite: The Real Virtue of Thankfulness | The Art of Manliness


This Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the United States. It’s a holiday dedicated to gratitude, and one in which we often trot out expressions of thankfulness. But how much is gratitude a part of our lives the other 364 days of the year? And even when we do think about gratitude at other times, does it admittedly often take a fairly superficial and fleeting form? On today’s show, we’re exploring the deeper, “harder” side of gratitude with my guest, Dr. Robert Emmons. Robert is a bona fide expert in his field — a professor of psychology at the University of California Davis who pioneered much of the research on the science of gratitude. Robert explains what gratitude is, its benefits, and how to cultivate more of it in our lives. He also shares why much of the content out there about gratitude is what he calls “gratitude lite,” and he makes the case that we need to see gratitude as the ancients saw it—as a human virtue that requires a lifetime of intentional cultivation. We then explore the myths of gratitude out there, like the idea that counting your blessings can make you complacent. We end our show with some suggestions on how to nurture your gratitude daily, including some specific ideas to try on Thanksgiving. Show Highlights How do we define gratitude? Why has the psychological study of gratitude generally been ignored? Is gratitude a feeling? The foundation of gratitude Why a lot of the talk about gratitude is what Emmons calls “gratitude lite” Gratitude as a virtue How gratitude can become selfish Myths about gratitude The connection between gratitude and purpose How to be grateful in the midst of trial and tribulation The happy side effects — both emotional and physical — of cultivating gratitude How gratitude isn’t just a practice, but a character trait as well Are some people born more grateful than others? Is it a natural temperament? How to deal with ingratitude in others How kids learn gratitude So what can we do to develop the virtue of gratitude? A case for acting on (some) emotional impulses Gratitude practices for families Follow us! https://ift.tt/YAd15k http://twitter.com/artofmanliness

Podcast #458: In Praise of Wasting Time | The Art of Manliness


Your time on earth is finite and once you use it up, it’s gone forever. Thus on the AoM podcast, we talk a lot about how to maximize your time — how to use it more effectively to be more productive. But is it possible to be too concerned about managing your time? Should you also make space for chucking out all the to-do lists and schedules and just being kind of idle? My guest would say yes. His name is Alan Lightman, he’s a physicist and writer, and the author of the book In Praise of Wasting Time. Today on the show Alan forwards the sort of countercultural argument that intentionally wasting time isn’t a vice but a virtue. We begin our conversation by discussing what Alan means by wasting time, and then get into how wasting time benefits our psyches, creativity, sense of mental self-reliance, and even, ironically enough, our productivity. We end our conversation discussing the difference between chronos time and kairos time, and how wasting time allows us to spend more time in the latter state.

Podcast #457: Leadership Lessons From Craig Groeschel | The Art of Manliness


I grew up in Edmond, OK, a suburb of Oklahoma City. When I was teenager back in the 90s, I started hearing about some church being run out of a garage. Didn’t give it much thought then. Fast forward more than twenty years later, and Life.Church now has over 30 campuses across 10 states, and is often ranked as the largest church in America. Today on the show I talk to the guy who started this thing in a garage, and has stood at the helm of its tremendous growth, to glean his insights on leadership and strategy. His name is Craig Groeschel, and he’s the founder and head pastor at Life.Church. We discuss Craig’s philosophy on leadership and managing the growth of a large organization, how he balances innovation with stability, how an organization can stay nimble even as it gets bigger, how you have to relinquish control in order to get growth, and why leaders need to go out of their way to show people they’re noticed and needed. We then discuss the personal side of leadership, including how to balance work and life, how to avoid letting administrative duties kill your creativity, and how to handle criticism. Whether you’re a leader in a business or a non-profit, you’re going to find lots of actionable advice in this show. Follow us! https://ift.tt/YAd15k http://twitter.com/artofmanliness

Podcast #456: Myths About Kids and Sports | The Art of Manliness


Youth sports in America is a 15 billion dollar industry. A lot of that money is going towards special coaching and training and participation in elite travel teams. Parents spend an enormous amount of money and time on their kids’ involvement in sports, hoping the investment will pay off in accolades, college scholarships, and even the chance to play professionally. But my guests today argue that all that special coaching you’re spending money on probably isn’t doing much to turn your kid into an superstar. Their names are Leonard Zaichkowsky and Daniel Peterson, and they’ve co-written a new book called The Playmaker’s Advantage. Leonard is one of the pioneers in the field of sports psychology and was a professor of it at Boston University for 37 years. Over the decades, he’s consulted for professional and collegiate sports programs as well as Olympic teams. Daniel Peterson is a science writer who has spent his career looking at the intersection of neuroscience and athletic performance, and is co-founder and director of 80 Percent Mental Consulting. Today on the show, Len and and Daniel discuss whether you can spot athletic talent in a child and why a kid who looks talented at age 10 can end up being a dud athlete at 20. They explain why you shouldn’t regiment your child’s athletic training or specialize kids too early in sports. Along the way, they provide best practices for parents and coaches who work with children in sports. We then discuss how sports can boost children’s cognitive abilities and why an athlete’s mental game can be just as important as their speed and strength. We end our conversation talking about what kind of practice is nearly useless, and what kind is the most helpful. Follow us! https://ift.tt/YAd15k http://twitter.com/artofmanliness

Podcast #455: How to Create the Perfect Morning Routine | The Art of Manliness


How you start something is often how you finish it, and that couldn’t be truer than for the trajectory of each of your days. When your mornings feel chaotic, rushed, and fragmented, the rest of your day often does too. But when you start off with a centering, invigorating morning routine, that feeling follows you the rest of the day. If you’ve been wanting to improve or simply start your own morning routine, then this episode is for you. My guest is Benjamin Spall and he’s the co-author of the book My Morning Routine, which shares insights taken from the morning routines of dozens of entrepreneurs, leaders, and creative folks. On today’s show, Benjamin walks us through how to craft the perfect morning routine, including how to make time for it in your schedule, what activities to include, and how a successful morning routine starts with what you do the night before. We also discuss how to adjust your morning routine while traveling and when you have kids. Along the way, Benjamin gives us a peek at the morning routines of several influential people to give us some inspiration for our own routines.

Podcast #454: A Magician’s Search for Wonder in the Modern World | The Art of Manliness


Magicians usually become magicians because they experienced a sense of wonder seeing a cool trick as a kid, and they want to re-create that awe for audience members on a regular basis. But what happens when a professional magician stops feeling the magic of magic? That happened to my guest today. His name is Nate Staniforth, and he recently wrote a book titled Here is Real Magic. Today on the show, Nate shares how he got into magic and became a professional magician, only to become disillusioned with his career. Nate then talks about how he embarked on a search to re-discover the magic of magic, which took him to the slums of India where he encountered a three-thousand-year-old clan of fire-eating street performers, and re-kindled his sense of wonder. If you’re feeling burnt out from your work or disenchanted with life, this episode will have some insights for you. Follow us! https://ift.tt/YAd15k http://twitter.com/artofmanliness

Podcast #453: Leadership in Turbulent Times | The Art of Manliness


Are great leaders born or made? Do circumstances make great leaders or do great leaders change the times? These are a few of the big picture questions my guest explores in her latest book. Her name is Doris Kearns Goodwin, she’s a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, and in her latest book, Leadership: In Turbulent Times, she explores the makings of great leaders by looking at the biographies of four US presidents who led the country through periods of crisis: Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson. We begin our conversation discussing the ambition all four of these leaders had as young men to do something great and how they connected their personal ambition to the greater good. We then discuss the personal setbacks all of them experienced early in life and how these challenges influenced them as leaders. Doris then shares the leadership traits and skills all of them implemented during their presidencies as well as how they did things differently. We end our conversation discussing whether any other leader could have managed the crisis each of these presidents confronted or if these men were singularly suited to the circumstances.

Podcast #452: The Warrior’s Manifesto | The Art of Manliness


Warrior” is a word that gets thrown around a lot. There are road warriors, and social justice warriors, and ninja warriors. But what does it really mean to be a warrior? My guest today sets out a working definition in his book The Warrior’s Manifesto. His name is Daniel Modell, and he earned his Master’s Degree in philosophy before going on to serve for twenty years in the New York City Police Department. Daniel and I begin our conversation discussing what makes a warrior and the lessons Spartacus can teach us on that score. Daniel and I then discuss why warriors do what they do, why violence is sometimes necessary for peace, and what it means to be savage without becoming savage. We then discuss how bureaucracy kills leadership and why you don’t need a title to be a leader. At the end of our conversation, Daniel talks about why it isn’t just members of the military and law enforcement who need to understand the way of the warrior, but ordinary civilians as well.

Podcast #451: The Daring Escape Artists of WWI | The Art of Manliness


When you think of wartime prison escapes, what comes to mind? Probably the breakouts attempted by prisoners of war during World War II and the movie The Great Escape. But the escapees of WWII learned many of the tricks of the trade from their pioneering predecessors, who honed their courageous craft during the first World War. My guest today has written a book about their audacious exploits. His name is Neal Bascomb, and his book is: The Escape Artists: A Band of Daredevil Pilots and the Greatest Prison Break of the Great War. Today on the show, Neal describes what conditions were like for British POWs during WWI, and why prisoners wanted to escape the German camps, even when they were relatively comfortable. We also discuss Germany’s most infamous POW camp, which was essentially a land-locked Alcatraz designed to hold the most escape-prone prisoners. While it was believed to be impossible to escape, Neal describes how the prisoners hatched an elaborate breakout plan anyway, and made a 175-yard tunnel towards freedom. We end our discussion with what Neal took away from the heroic exploits of these men. You’re going to really enjoy this look at a fascinating slice of history.

Podcast #450: How to Make Time for What Really Matters Every Day | The Art of Manliness


Do your days seem like a continuous blur of busyness, and yet you don’t seem to get much done, nor remember much about how you spent your time? As a former employee of Google, my guest today worked on the very apps and technology that can often suck away our time. Today, he’s dedicated to figuring out how to push back against these forces to help people take control of their time and attention. His name is John Zeratsky and he’s the co-author of the book Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day. Today on the show, John shares how the experience of feeling like he was missing months of his life led him to spending years experimenting with his habits and routines, looking for the best ways to to optimize energy, focus, and time. He then shares the simple 4-step daily framework that developed from this research and walks us through that system. John talks about choosing one “highlight” each day to ensure your most important work gets done and that your life is full of memorable moments. He also shares how to reduce the time you spend wading in what he calls “infinity pools,” why energy management is just as important as time management, and how reflection is essential in figuring out if what you’re doing is working.

Podcast #449: Faster and Cheaper Alternatives to College | The Art of Manliness


Every year the cost of a four-year college degree goes up, forcing young people to take on massive amounts of student debt for an education that often doesn’t even prepare them well for the jobs of today. My guest today argues that there’s a better, cheaper, and faster way to prepare for gainful employment. His name is Ryan Craig, he’s the Managing Director of University Ventures, an investment firm reimagining the future of higher education, and the author of A New U: Faster + Cheaper Alternatives to College. We begin our conversation discussing the disconnect between a college education and the job skills employers are looking for and why higher ed continues to get more expensive each year. Ryan then digs into alternative education models that include boot camps, income-share programs, and apprenticeships that are not only faster and more affordable than college, but also put an emphasis on real-life job skills.

Podcast #448: Your Son Isn’t Lazy — How to Empower Boys to Succeed | The Art of Manliness


Do you have a teenage boy who struggles in school? Or do you have a younger son who you can imagine struggling in school as he gets older? He may be an otherwise capable young man, but seems apathetic and unmotivated, to the point you think he’s not excelling simply because he’s lazy. My guest today says that’s the wrong conclusion to draw, and one that leads to the wrong parenting approach to addressing it. His name is Adam Price and he’s a child psychologist and the author of He’s Not Lazy: Empowering Your Son to Believe in Himself. Today on the show, Dr. Price argues that the real reason many young men are unmotivated is not that they don’t care about succeeding, but that they feel too much pressure to do so, and are scared of failing. We discuss why nagging and over-parenting simply exacerbates this issue, and how stepping back and giving boys more autonomy can help them become more self-directed and find their footing.

Podcast #447: On Grand Strategy | The Art of Manliness


The ancient Greek poet Archilochus said, “A fox knows many things, but a hedgehog one important thing.” The original meaning of the quote has been lost to the mists of time, but my guest today argues that it’s a great metaphor for classifying two types of leadership strategies. His name is John Lewis Gaddis and he’s a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, an expert on the Cold War, and a professor of military history at Yale University. Today, Professor Gaddis and I talk about his book, On Grand Strategy, in which he distills insights about strategy from political and military history going all the way back to antiquity. We begin our conversation discussing what strategy is and what it means to have grand strategy. John then shares the analogy of the fox and the hedgehog, and the benefits and downsides to each approach to thinking and acting. We then discuss why the best strategists combine fox-like and hedgehog-like mindsets, examples from history of great leaders who had both, and how he helps his students see the relationship between principle and practice.

How To Correctly Remove Stubborn Water Spots! - Chemical Guys


Water spot damage begins as droplets of water land on paintwork and other automotive surfaces. As the water evaporates, all the minerals inside the droplet are left behind as a stain on the surface. If caught soon enough, these minerals can be simply wiped away during a car wash or with a quick detail spray. If left overnight, the spot may stick harder, but they can typically be removed with a clay bar. Beyond this level of contamination, water spots can etch deeper into the surface and cause permanent damage that may require polishing, wet sanding, and even repainting. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● - Heavy Duty Water Spot Remover: https://ift.tt/38NPjbv ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Find a Detail Garage Near You! ● https://ift.tt/2X6niFY ● Website: www.ChemicalGuys.com ● Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=chemicalguys ● Like Us on Facebook: https://ift.tt/2uJzRxo ● Follow us on Instagram: https://ift.tt/2vjwfPB #chemicalguys #detailing #carcare

Louis Armstrong's Trumpet | Christie's


An inscribed Selmer trumpet, used by jazz legend Louis Armstrong at the height of his powers in the early 1950s, is offered in The Exceptional Sale on 14 October It is likely the trumpet was used on The California Concerts, a live album recorded in 1951 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium According to Becky MacGuire, a senior specialist at Christie’s, Armstrong would play his instruments for about five years, then give them away as presents. The trumpet offered in The Exceptional Sale in New York on 14 October was given to Duke, the son of Abe and Frances Donin, two jazz aficionados whom Armstrong and his wife Lucille had met in Los Angeles in the 1930s. ‘The Donins probably first heard Armstrong at Culver City’s Cotton Club in the 1930s,’ says MacGuire. ‘Louis had gone to California to play the clubs and to try to break into Hollywood movies.’ Learn more: https://ift.tt/3kBvV7N -- Subscribe to Christie's YouTube: http://goo.gl/Vmh7Hf Sign up to Christie's Weekly: https://goo.gl/kc8qpV Follow Christie's on: Facebook: https://ift.tt/2elC9Zg Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChristiesInc Instagram: https://ift.tt/2iJ3lGm Pinterest: https://ift.tt/2elCafM

How To Safely Remove Paint Overspray! - Chemical Guys


Are you having trouble reviving your paints gloss? Does the surface of your ride feel rough and grimy? In today's video, Nick walks us through the proper procedures for identifying and removing paint over spray, contamination, and fallout as well as how to protect the service and prevent future damage. Start by cleaning the vehicle with a wash to remove loose, heavier debris before selecting the appropriate clay bar to extract foreign debris. As the clay bar glides across the surface it will lift and carry fallout away from the paintwork which is a necessary step before paint correction or applications of any coatings to promote the longest lasting bond. Lock in shine and repel harsh elements with a coat of HydroCharge. Paint may seem smooth to the naked eye, but if you analyze it closely, the surface is actually extremely uneven. Airborne contaminants such as brake dust, rail dust, airplane fallout, pollution, and calcium easily fall into surface imperfections, dulling your shine and bonding to the paint, while sharp fragments can even penetrate the clear coat like a knife! HydroCharge lays down a sacrificial layer of ceramic on top of the irregular surface, leveling it out so the surface is smooth, uniform, and slick, and helping protect your paint from razor-sharp particles. Now, with nowhere to stick, pollution and water just slide right off, leaving behind only a glistening shine that truly stuns! ● ● ● ● ● Products Used in Today's Video ● ● ● ● ● ➜ EcoSmart Waterless Wash and Wax: https://ift.tt/2TyolNb ➜ Medium Clay Bar: https://ift.tt/2LjfTjP ➜ Clay Luber: https://ift.tt/2ZKMSBB ➜ HydroCharge Ceramic Spray Coating: https://ift.tt/33zMASj ➜ Blue Microfiber Applicator Pad: https://ift.tt/2Nx1EYX ➜ Professional Grade Microfiber Towel: https://ift.tt/2E8uz4P ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Find a Detail Garage Near You! ● https://ift.tt/2X6niFY ● Website: www.ChemicalGuys.com ● Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=chemicalguys ● Like Us on Facebook: https://ift.tt/2uJzRxo ● Follow us on Instagram: https://ift.tt/2vjwfPB #chemicalguys #detailing #carcare

T. rex STAN — One of the Biggest and Most Complete Skeletons Ever Found | Christie's


Watch how we installed STAN — one of the most complete T. rex skeletons ever found. Unearthed in 1987, less than a century after the existence of Tyrannosaurus rex had first become known, STAN — named after his discoverer Stan Sacrison — represents one of the most complete fossil skeletons of the most famous dinosaur species ever to have lived. Each individual fossil from STAN’s skeleton had to be prised carefully from the rock, then stored and recorded. Following more than 30,000 hours of labour, STAN was erected on a custom mount to reflect his former glory. He was given a public unveiling on Hill City’s Main Street in South Dakota, followed by his global ‘debut’ as the centrepiece of Japan’s T. rex World Exposition in 1995. Learn more about STAN: https://ift.tt/35Ik1EE STAN will be offered on 6 October in the 20th Century Evening Sale at Christie’s in New York — ‘a once in a generation chance’, according to Hyslop. ‘There simply aren’t T. rexes like this coming to market. It’s an incredibly rare event when a great one is found. -- Subscribe to Christie's YouTube: http://goo.gl/Vmh7Hf Sign up to Christie's Weekly: https://goo.gl/kc8qpV Follow Christie's on: Facebook: https://ift.tt/2elC9Zg Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChristiesInc Instagram: https://ift.tt/2iJ3lGm Pinterest: https://ift.tt/2elCafM

How To Make Red Paint POP!! - Chemical Guys


The elements do everything they can to destroy your car’s painted finish. UV sunlight, pollution, industrial fallout, bugs, birds, water, and abrasive dirt scratch paint, fade colors, and ruin shine on every paint color. Cherry Wet Wax is a natural wax that protects as it shines. Wax works by filling in the tiny microscopic pores of paintwork. Once the tiny peaks and valleys are smoothed over, dirt, debris, and water have a hard time sticking to the surface. - Swift Wipe Waterless Car Wash: https://ift.tt/2NQ6Yqi - Cherry Wet Wax: https://ift.tt/3fXbwb0 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Find a Detail Garage Near You! ● https://ift.tt/2X6niFY ● Website: www.ChemicalGuys.com ● Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=chemicalguys ● Like Us on Facebook: https://ift.tt/2uJzRxo ● Follow us on Instagram: https://ift.tt/2vjwfPB #chemicalguys #detailing #carcare

Robert Motherwell: One of the Founders of Abstract Expressionism


Few artists were as intrinsically connected to Abstract Expressionism as Robert Motherwell (1915-1991). Unlike Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock, whose stars burned brightly but briefly, Motherwell remained prolific throughout his 50-year career. He was a searching artist whose output, though determinedly abstract, was also hugely varied. Motherwell set up the Dedalus Foundation in 1981 ‘to support public understanding and appreciation of the principles of modern art’ — through scholarships, publications, exhibitions, research projects and more. Since his death, it has also been devoted to his artistic legacy.
