Brancusi Art
30 07 2009Constantin Brancusi (February 19, 1876 – March 16, 1957), was a Romanian sculptor, born in Hobita, Gorj, near Targu Jiu, where he placed his sculptural ensemble with The Table of Silence, The Gate of the Kiss and The Endless Column.
As an art student he was influenced by Auguste Rodin, but his style moved beyond naturalist representation to stylized elegant forms. Brancusi was one of the first sculptors to experiment with abstract art (although never, in his own view, moving into pure abstraction).

Pets of the Homeless
29 07 2009How can you choose between shelter and a best friend? It’s an impossible decision pet-lovers face when losing their homes. Only two pet-friendly homeless shelters exist in the United States (in Florida and California) and homeless people with pets often choose to stay on the streets rather than part with their four-legged friend.
Feeding Pets of the Homeless is a nonprofit volunteer organization that provides pet food and veterinarian care to the homeless and less fortunate in local communities across the United States and Canada. Won’t you help?
