Erik Satie was an alien Maybe... read here. An example? Satie�s diet was tragically bizarre. There�s nothing to say on this subject that hasn�t already been said by Erik Satie himself: �My only nourishment consists of food that is white: eggs, sugar, shredded bones, the fat of dead animals, veal, salt, coconuts, chicken cooked in white water, moldy fruit, rice, turnips, sausages in camphor, pastry, cheese (white varieties), cotton salad, and certain kinds of fish (without their skin).

An eye for detail Zoom through 1 000 artworks thanks to the new Art Camera from the Google Cultural Institute ABOUT ZENFONE - An eye for detail: Zoom through 1,000 artworks thanks to the new Art Camera from the Google Cultural Institute , So much of the beauty and power of art lives in the details. You can only fully appreciate the genius of artists like Monet or Van Gogh when you stand so close to a masterpiece that your nose almost touches it. As you step back from the brush strokes, you wonder how it all comes together. At the Google Cultural Institute, we know that people love experiencing art in close detail. Millions of people spend time exploring our ultra-high resolution �gigapixel� images, inch by inch�spotting something new every time, like a hidden signature or the individual dabs of paint that give the impression of shimmering, turbulent waters. Zooming into these images is the closest thing to walking up to the real thing with a magnifying glass. This is why we�re so excit...
