PUTTING ART INTO CONTEXT
- Lecture Courses - Aude/Ariege borders

|
| Edouard Manet's Bar at The Follies Berger - "What is happening here?" |
Have you ever wondered why an artist painted a particular
picture? What was happening in the painting and in that particular place at that particlar time? In other words
what was the social history background to art. Paris was the centry of the art world from 1860 to World War II.
The courses aim to discover why and includes Impressionism, Art Nouveau, Modernism and Avant Garde, Art Deco and the legacy
these movements have left. The modules will include Architecture, Sculpture and Russian Art. The courses will
run for 6 weeks at €90 each from mid to late October and resuming after Christmas in Anni's house near Chalabre.
It will consist of lecture, visual content, discussion and access to books. Gallery visits will be arranged where
possible. Anni is a BA Honours graduate in the History and Theory of Art form the University of Kent. For email enquiries, please

TAX
FREE FOR EXPATS - Ariege & Aude
"A leading bank recently
stated that seven out of 10 expatriates could be making more money." We say that eight out of every ten expatriates are losing money. The moving to and a life led in a
different country may be for many reasons. The common reason is to put one self into a better position. Why then do so many expats fail to explore the new financial opportunities
that become available to them, with their new found status? How many know, that they can have tax free growth on their investments? Unlock a locked pension fund? In most cases reduce their personal tax liability?
MSI look at what you have and where it is. Then we show you what you should
have and where it should be. In Confidence: ask-MSI." For
