FOOD


Carbon Neutral? What does that mean?

Where does your Burger come from?
cows produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas, through their digestion, a well-managed grassland is still a carbon-neutral system. That's because methane gets converted back to CO2 after about 10 to 12 years, and it can then be reabsorbed by plants, which are then eaten by cattle, and so on, forming a closed-loop of carbon, says Kebreab. "As long as you don't increase the number of animals in a certain area, then you will keep that carbon balance," he says. "You're not adding carbon into the atmosphere."

https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/famous-artists-from-spain.html
Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali was one of the most prolific and versatile artists of the 20th century. He was a painter, filmmaker, writer, and a sculptor. Salvador is considered the greatest Surrealist artist. He used bizarre dream images to create amazing landscapes of his inner world. Dali was born in 1904 in Figueres and studied arts in Madrid where he experimented with Dadaism and Cubism. He was expelled from his class because he thought the faculty members were not competent enough to administer his final exam. He then moved to Paris where he teamed up with Picasso and soon developed an interest in surrealist art. One of his most famous paintings is Persistence of Memory, a painting of melting clocks. His association with Franco, a Spanish dictator, led to his expulsion by other surrealist artists. He later moved to the United States and finally back to Spain where he died in 1989.

El Greco
El Greco was born in 1541 on an island which is located in present-day Greece. His official name was Domenikos Theotokopoulo but got the name “El Greco” due to his Greek origin. He started his career in Italy and moved to Spain in 1577 where he produced much of his work. El Greco was a master painter of religious subjects but was also equally vast with portrait and landscape painting. He rejected naturalism for more conceptual presentations. Greco’s work influenced several movements such as Cubism and Expressionism. In fact, historians have struggled to place him in any conventional school. Some of his famous arts include Christ Carrying the Cross and The Burial of the Count of Orgaz which is seen by many artists as a coming together of all Greco’s extraordinary attributes of art.

Joan Miro
Joan Miro was a painter, ceramicist, and a sculptor. He was born in 1893 in Barcelona, Spain. He spent most of his time in Italy but most of his works were based on imagery from his native Barcelona. His works were inspired by human psyche and were created in Surrealist manner. Miro was one of the first artists to develop automatic drawings as a revolt against the traditional which he understood as a support of the bourgeois society. He represented the beginning of Surrealism as an art movement. Miro is also considered the forefather of Abstract Expressionism movement. Some of his famous works include The Farm, Blue II, and The Harlequin’s Carnival. Apart from painting, he also worked as a lithographer, producing many sculptures and murals for public space.

Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso is probably one of the greatest painters who ever lived. He was born in 1881 in Malaga and spent most of his time in France. Picasso is one of the founders of the Cubist movement. However, most of his early works were based on realism. Cubism is credited for revolutionizing European painting and sculpture. Picasso’s style of painting changed over time as e experimented with different techniques, theories, and ideas. He created over 1900 painting in the course of his career. Some of his paintings are among the most expensive artworks ever sold. Some of his famous paintings include Guernica, The Weeping Woman, and Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. Picasso’s early work can be seen in Barcelona’s Museu de Picasso and Madrid’s Museo Reina Sofia.

Francisco Goya
Francisco de Goya was a prominent painter of the Spanish Royal Family. Born in 1746, he is often considered the last of the “Old Master” painters and the first of the modern masters. Goya studied art in Madrid but spent his time in Italy before returning to Spain and joining the royal family. He painted several portraits of the royal family and other nobles. One of his most famous work is The Third of May 1808, depicting the killing of the Spanish fighters by Napoleon’s army during the 1808 French Occupation. Goya later became deaf from an illness. His work later became progressively pessimistic, with his paintings reflecting his bleak outlook. His paintings also reflected social and political issues. Goya’s most famous works can be seen in the Prado Museum in Madrid.

Tuesday 6/15 My Background is in Communications, This piece is a beautiful story selling a tough old American Brand.
