Artist uses mementos to present a diary of his Indian journeys

Artist Alexandros Georgiou is not looking for an audience but fellow travelers with whom to share his journeys in faraway places. In the last few years, the artist's body of work has been tied to his long-distance travels with a bare minimum of luggage and an immense desire to get under the skin of every place he visits.

What people in 1900 thought the world would like in 2000! (sketches)

Jean-Marc Côté and a series of other French artists created their “France in the Year 2000″ series back in 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1910, to show how artists envisioned life in the year 2000. The first images were printed and enclosed in cigarette and cigar boxes during the time of the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. Later, they were turned into postcards.
