Jonathan Ive, senior vice-president of design at Apple

"There is a loyalty that I have for Apple and a belief that this company has an impact beyond design which feels important. I also have a sense of being accountable as we really live, sometimes pretty painfully with the consequences of what we do."

Cartier and others

Reading about Cartier SA, because yesterday in GYM-shop we saw a very accurate and beautiful woman bag by Cartier. As I recognize today - it is from Marcello de Cartier collection (dimensions: 30x30x6 (small) and 40x36x6 (medium)).

For information - one of the first man's wristwatch are made by Cartier (Louis) in 1904, he creates the Santos watch for his friend the Brazilian aviator, Santos-Dumont. Also, one of the famous Cartier's wristwatches - is model Tank (1919). Form of Tank cast by Renault Armoured Machine - called ‘tank’.

Yves Saint Lauren wear a Tank in his wrist (photo by Irving Penn, 1983):

In Cartier Foundation site you can see very interesting on-line exhibition, regarding Graffiti art:

Andy Warhol's cats

Art innovator Andy Warhol (1923 – 1987) was a renowned cat lover, and they were one of his favorite subjects in the 1950s, before he became acclaimed for his Pop Art portrayals of soup cans, Coke bottles and Marilyn Monroe. Warhol, a long-time cat owner, published a book of cat portraits done in 1954 using a blotted line technique and colored with Dr. Martin’s ink washes. All but one of the 25 cats in the book were named Sam, and were based on the images of famous feline photographer Walter Chandoha, rather than Warhol’s own pets.
