the Flatiron Building was the beginning of a race to reach the sky. We are therefore faced with one of the first candidates to conquer the sky: the Metropolitan Life building. The building was built between 1907 and 1909, and was a whim of the director of the company, in an act of megalomania, wanted to build an impressive headquarters, which remain for posterity. And he did, since the building was the tallest in the world between 1909 and 1913. The tower was not made with intent to Deco, but under neo-Renaissance influences, some see a parallel with the tower the Plaza San Marco in Venice. El edificio inicialmente poseía una rica decoración, sin embargo su fachada fue limpiada en una reforma de 1960. Dos son los elementos más característicos, primero sus relojes, con reminiscencias Art Nouveau; segundo su remate en forma de pirámide, bajo este se sitúa una logia con cinco arcos de medio punto, el edificio es coronado por un lucernario neorrenacentista. Como curiosidad sus ascensores fueron durante años los más rápidos del mundo, realizando el recorrido desde la base a la última planta en sólo 60 segundos.

Stores That Take Food Stamps

Joseph Csaky

In 1908, Joseph Csaky moved from Budapest to Paris, standing on a long way, as Brancusi did four years earlier. Cubism was a pioneer of three-dimensional works of art and appeared in 1911 (all but three were lost or destroyed later.) In 1914 he became a volunteer in the army, and returned to sculpture in 1919 with a selection of compositions in the style of Léger, based on cones, cylinders, disks and spheres. These early tests were those of Derain, Brancusi, Archipenko and straight Modigliani sculpture in which the issue was carved from from a single block. Due to the prohibitive cost of bronze casting, these works were often unique pieces of plaster or plasterboard.

In the twenties, Csaky repeatedly changed its modern style. In 1921 he created busts in which certain forms were cut, and figure compositions forming tower. When they were not truncated, the details appeared broken into angular planes. Arms raised or lowered provided a fine balance. Since 1928, Csaky was devoted to figurative forms of expression. Left rectilinear compositions for whole-body compositions.
