Who moved my cheese?! 人生是围城，婚姻是围城，冲进去了，就被生存的种种烦愁包围。偶尔冲出来了发现其实烦恼也不过是让我们更好的体会幸福。08年似乎就在这被围困的城堡中上演着喜怒哀乐。
08年1月，收拾行囊，攒足银子回家省亲
08年2月-3月，和Alec回到武汉和家人度过了有史以来最长的一次春节；Alec首都机场被骗，第一次让他领会到中国的骗子
08年4月-7月，失去了生命中最重要的一个人，入住第一套属于自己的房子，学会了粉刷，贴墙纸等装修技术
08年8月，得到了来英国后的第二份工作，终于等到了运送了2个月的衣柜
08年9月-11月，卧室家具装修全部完成。父亲住院，寄回银子若干
08年12月，Fridge,Cooker正式成为我们的了
To be continued...................
这一年中最感谢的人是老公，无论发生什么一直在身边支持我，理解我，鼓励我，还要忍受我的坏脾气，没有他似乎这一路会走得更艰难，从这种角度上来说我是幸运的。如果说08年是我生命中最灰暗的一年也不为过，经历过的事情可以说是在中国10年的总和，一朵过去在温室中成长的花朵，来到了这样陌生的环境，感觉自己在成长在充实在学着自我生存；其次要感谢家人，往往都是最需要帮助的时候家人在我们身边，这点真是真真切切；最后要感谢教我的2位老板，让我更多的学会如何在英国工作，虽然我也吃了很多苦头。
09年的计划目标都已经订了出来，希望一切都是按照我们的计划来实现，那么09年就会是我们的最大一个转折点了，以后就是要朝着目标努力奋斗，永不放弃。生活在这样的城堡里，会有着许许多多预料不到的事情，我们随时都要准备着寻找另一个Cheese Station,勇敢的冲出自己生活的小城堡。 November 28 it's truly up to you. Consider… YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a 1)gazillion… You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!!! You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process. Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today. Paint a Masterpiece. God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you. Speech by William (Bill) H. Gates in Harvard·．..．·˙`˙·．.．˙``˙·．.．˙·．..．·˙` ·．..．·˙`˙·．.．˙``˙·．.．˙·．..．·˙` ·．..．·˙`˙·．·．..．·˙`˙·．.．˙``˙·．.．˙·．..．·˙`
President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, parents, and especially, the graduates:
I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: "Dad, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree." I want to thank Harvard for this timely honor. I’ll be changing my job next year … and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume. I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. For my part, I’m just happy that the Crimson has called me "Harvard’s most successful dropout." I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class … I did the best of everyone who failed. But I also want to be recognized as the guy who got Steve Ballmer to drop out of business school. I’m a bad influence. That’s why I was invited to speak at your graduation. If I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today.Harvard was just a phenomenal experience for me. Academic life was fascinating. I used to sit in on lots of classes I hadn’t even signed up for. And dorm life was terrific. I lived up at Radcliffe, in Currier House. There were always lots of people in my dorm room late at night discussing things, because everyone knew I didn’t worry about getting up in the morning. That’s how I came to be the leader of the anti-social group. We clung to each other as a way of validating our rejection of all those social people. Radcliffe was a great place to live. There were more women up there, and most of the guys were science-math types. That combination offered me the best odds, if you know what I mean. This is where I learned the sad lesson that improving your odds doesn’t guarantee success. One of my biggest memories of Harvard came in January 1975, when I made a call from Currier House to a company in Albuquerque that had begun making the world’s first personal computers. I offered to sell them software. I worried that they would realize I was just a student in a dorm and hang up on me. Instead they said: "We’re not quite ready, come see us in a month," which was a good thing, because we hadn’t written the software yet. From that moment, I worked day and night on this little extra credit project that marked the end of my college education and the beginning of a remarkable journey with Microsoft.
What I remember above all about Harvard was being in the midst of so much energy and intelligence. It could be exhilarating, intimidating, sometimes even discouraging, but always challenging. It was an amazing privilege – and though I left early, I was transformed by my years at Harvard, the friendships I made, and the ideas I worked on. But taking a serious look back … I do have one big regret.I left Harvard with no real awareness of the awful inequities in the world – the appalling disparities of health, and wealth, and opportunity that condemn millions of people to lives of despair. I learned a lot here at Harvard about new ideas in economics and politics. I got great exposure to the advances being made in the sciences. But humanity’s greatest advances are not in its discoveries – but in how those discoveries are applied to reduce inequity. Whether through democracy, strong public education, quality health care, or broad economic opportunity – reducing inequity is the highest human achievement. I left campus knowing little about the millions of young people cheated out of educational opportunities here in this country. And I knew nothing about the millions of people living in unspeakable poverty and disease in developing countries.It took me decades to find out. You graduates came to Harvard at a different time. You know more about the world’s inequities than the classes that came before. In your years here, I hope you’ve had a chance to think about how – in this age of accelerating technology – we can finally take on these inequities, and we can solve them. Imagine, just for the sake of discussion, that you had a few hours a week and a few dollars a month to donate to a cause – and you wanted to spend that time and money where it would have the greatest impact in saving and improving lives. Where would you spend it? For Melinda and for me, the challenge is the same: how can we do the most good for the greatest number with the resources we have. During our discussions on this question, Melinda and I read an article about the millions of children who were dying every year in poor countries from diseases that we had long ago made harmless in this country. Measles, malaria, pneumonia, hepatitis B, yellow fever. One disease I had never even heard of, rotavirus, was killing half a million kids each year – none of them in the United States. We were shocked. We had just assumed that if millions of children were dying and they could be saved, the world would make it a priority to discover and deliver the medicines to save them. But it did not. For under a dollar, there were interventions that could save lives that just weren’t being delivered. If you believe that every life has equal value, it’s revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and others are not. We said to ourselves: "This can’t be true. But if it is true, it deserves to be the priority of our giving." So we began our work in the same way anyone here would begin it. We asked: "How could the world let these children die?" The answer is simple, and harsh. The market did not reward saving the lives of these children, and governments did not subsidize it. So the children died because their mothers and their fathers had no power in the market and no voice in the system. But you and I have both. We can make market forces work better for the poor if we can develop a more creative capitalism – if we can stretch the reach of market forces so that more people can make a profit, or at least make a living, serving people who are suffering from the worst inequities. We also can press governments around the world to spend taxpayer money in ways that better reflect the values of the people who pay the taxes. If we can find approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business and votes for politicians, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce inequity in the world. This task is open-ended. It can never be finished. But a conscious effort to answer this challenge will change the world.I am optimistic that we can do this, but I talk to skeptics who claim there is no hope. They say: "Inequity has been with us since the beginning, and will be with us till the end – because people just … don’t … care." I completely disagree. I believe we have more caring than we know what to do with. All of us here in this Yard, at one time or another, have seen human tragedies that broke our hearts, and yet we did nothing – not because we didn’t care, but because we didn’t know what to do. If we had known how to help, we would have acted. The barrier to change is not too little caring; it is too much complexity to turn caring into action, we need to see a problem, see a solution, and see the impact. But complexity blocks all three steps. Even with the advent of the Internet and 24-hour news, it is still a complex enterprise to get people to truly see the problems. When an airplane crashes, officials immediately call a press conference. They promise to investigate, determine the cause, and prevent similar crashes in the future. But if the officials were brutally honest, they would say: "Of all the people in the world who died today from preventable causes, one half of one percent of them were on this plane. We’re determined to do everything possible to solve the problem that took the lives of the one half of one percent." The bigger problem is not the plane crash, but the millions of preventable deaths. We don’t read much about these deaths. The media covers what’s new – and millions of people dying is nothing new. So it stays in the background, where it’s easier to ignore. But even when we do see it or read about it, it’s difficult to keep our eyes on the problem. It’s hard to look at suffering if the situation is so complex that we don’t know how to help. And so we look away. If we can really see a problem, which is the first step, we come to the second step: cutting through the complexity to find a solution. Finding solutions is essential if we want to make the most of our caring. If we have clear and proven answers anytime an organization or individual asks "How can I help?," then we can get action – and we can make sure that none of the caring in the world is wasted. But complexity makes it hard to mark a path of action for everyone who cares — and that makes it hard for their caring to matter. Cutting through complexity to find a solution runs through four predictable stages: determine a goal, find the highest-leverage approach, discover the ideal technology for that approach, and in the meantime, make the smartest application of the technology that you already have — whether it’s something sophisticated, like a drug, or something simpler, like a bednet. The AIDS epidemic offers an example. The broad goal, of course, is to end the disease. The highest-leverage approach is prevention. The ideal technology would be a vaccine that gives lifetime immunity with a single dose. So governments, drug companies, and foundations fund vaccine research. But their work is likely to take more than a decade, so in the meantime, we have to work with what we have in hand – and the best prevention approach we have now is getting people to avoid risky behavior. Pursuing that goal starts the four-step cycle again. This is the pattern. The crucial thing is to never stop thinking and working – and never do what we did with malaria and tuberculosis in the 20th century – which is to surrender to complexity and quit. The final step – after seeing the problem and finding an approach – is to measure the impact of your work and share your successes and failures so that others learn from your efforts. You have to have the statistics, of course. You have to be able to show that a program is vaccinating millions more children. You have to be able to show a decline in the number of children dying from these diseases. This is essential not just to improve the program, but also to help draw more investment from business and government. But if you want to inspire people to participate, you have to show more than numbers; you have to convey the human impact of the work – so people can feel what saving a life means to the families affected. I remember going to Davos some years back and sitting on a global health panel that was discussing ways to save millions of lives. Millions! Think of the thrill of saving just one person’s life – then multiply that by millions. … Yet this was the most boring panel I’ve ever been on – ever. So boring even I couldn’t bear it. What made that experience especially striking was that I had just come from an event where we were introducing version 13 of some piece of software, and we had people jumping and shouting with excitement. I love getting people excited about software – but why can’t we generate even more excitement for saving lives? You can’t get people excited unless you can help them see and feel the impact. And how you do that – is a complex question. Still, I’m optimistic. Yes, inequity has been with us forever, but the new tools we have to cut through complexity have not been with us forever. They are new – they can help us make the most of our caring – and that’s why the future can be different from the past. The defining and ongoing innovations of this age – biotechnology, the computer, the Internet – give us a chance we’ve never had before to end extreme poverty and end death from preventable disease. Sixty years ago, George Marshall came to this commencement and announced a plan to assist the nations of post-war Europe. He said: "I think one difficulty is that the problem is one of such enormous complexity that the very mass of facts presented to the public by press and radio make it exceedingly difficult for the man in the street to reach a clear appraisement of the situation. It is virtually impossible at this distance to grasp at all the real significance of the situation." Thirty years after Marshall made his address, as my class graduated without me, technology was emerging that would make the world smaller, more open, more visible, less distant. The emergence of low-cost personal computers gave rise to a powerful network that has transformed opportunities for learning and communicating. The magical thing about this network is not just that it collapses distance and makes everyone your neighbor. It also dramatically increases the number of brilliant minds we can have working together on the same problem – and that scales up the rate of innovation to a staggering degree. At the same time, for every person in the world who has access to this technology, five people don’t. That means many creative minds are left out of this discussion -- smart people with practical intelligence and relevant experience who don’t have the technology to hone their talents or contribute their ideas to the world. We need as many people as possible to have access to this technology, because these advances are triggering a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, corporations, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches, and measure the impact of their efforts to address the hunger, poverty, and desperation George Marshall spoke of 60 years ago. Members of the Harvard Family: Here in the Yard is one of the great collections of intellectual talent in the world. What for?There is no question that the faculty, the alumni, the students, and the benefactors of Harvard have used their power to improve the lives of people here and around the world. But can we do more? Can Harvard dedicate its intellect to improving the lives of people who will never even hear its name? Let me make a request of the deans and the professors – the intellectual leaders here at Harvard: As you hire new faculty, award tenure, review curriculum, and determine degree requirements, please ask yourselves: Should our best minds be dedicated to solving our biggest problems? Should Harvard encourage its faculty to take on the world’s worst inequities? Should Harvard students learn about the depth of global poverty … the prevalence of world hunger … the scarcity of clean water …the girls kept out of school … the children who die from diseases we can cure? Should the world’s most privileged people learn about the lives of the world’s least privileged? These are not rhetorical questions – you will answer with your policies. My mother, who was filled with pride the day I was admitted here – never stopped pressing me to do more for others. A few days before my wedding, she hosted a bridal event, at which she read aloud a letter about marriage that she had written to Melinda. My mother was very ill with cancer at the time, but she saw one more opportunity to deliver her message, and at the close of the letter she said: "From those to whom much is given, much is expected." When you consider what those of us here in this Yard have been given – in talent, privilege, and opportunity – there is almost no limit to what the world has a right to expect from us.In line with the promise of this age, I want to exhort each of the graduates here to take on an issue – a complex problem, a deep inequity, and become a specialist on it. If you make it the focus of your career, that would be phenomenal. But you don’t have to do that to make an impact. For a few hours every week, you can use the growing power of the Internet to get informed, find others with the same interests, see the barriers, and find ways to cut through them.Don’t let complexity stop you. Be activists. Take on the big inequities. It will be one of the great experiences of your lives. You graduates are coming of age in an amazing time. As you leave Harvard, you have technology that members of my class never had. You have awareness of global inequity, which we did not have. And with that awareness, you likely also have an informed conscience that will torment you if you abandon these people whose lives you could change with very little effort. You have more than we had; you must start sooner, and carry on longer. Knowing what you know, how could you not? And I hope you will come back here to Harvard 30 years from now and reflect on what you have done with your talent and your energy. I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world’s deepest inequities … on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but their humanity.

夜雨泠泠，华灯初上万千思绪纷纷扬扬，尤感即将奔赴英国开始新的生活，叹之造化弄人，乃始料未及也～当初甚至天各一方的我们，如今已是执子之手与子偕老，佳偶天成！无奈流年似水，2年光阴似箭，所有甜美或者苦涩的故事，此刻定格为热泪盈眶的欣悦！在此一切都并非结束，而是郑重开始～故重读《孟子》-生于忧患，死于安乐，以兹勉励自己面对未来的困难与挑战！ 译文：孟子说：“舜从田间劳动中成长起来，傅说从筑墙的工作中被选拔出来，胶鬲被选拔于鱼盐的买卖之中，管仲从监狱官手里释放后被举用为相，孙叔敖从海边被举用进了朝廷，百里奚从市井中被举用登上了相位。所以，上天将要把重大使命降落到某人身上，一定要先使他的意志受到磨练，使他的筋骨受到劳累，使他的身体忍饥挨饿，使他备受穷困之苦，做事总是不能顺利；这样来震撼他的心志，坚韧他的性情，增长他所不具备的才能。人总是要经常犯错误，然后才能改正错误；心气郁结，殚思极虑，然后才能有所作为；显露在脸色上，抒发到言语中，才能被人了解。一个国家，如果在国内没有执法有度的士臣和辅佐君主的贤士，在国外没有敌对国家的忧患，便经常导致灭亡。由此可道， 困难与忧患意识可以使人成长生存，而安逸享乐却足以使人萎靡败亡。“ April 07 I FOUND THE BEST MAN!

In love again-lyric
When you smile my life becomes a ray of light
Sing me a lullaby to sleep at midnight I'll be hypnotized when looked into your eyes Turn off the room light let's spend the night Take me to far away Away to your secret place Take my tears my fears Take all my pain for which I'll repay someday With a kiss and say Can't believe that I'm in love in love again When the stars don't shine And when the birds don't fly And when the flowers cry And when the rain runs dry When the violet's red When the rose turn blue baby i'll still be in love with you Take me to far away Away to your secret place Take my tears my fears Take all my pain for which I'll repay someday With a kiss and say Can't believe that I'm in love in love again October 05 Question~
September 28 DREAM~~~sky How long is the forever?!The Wind's dream,
The Cloud can understand;
The Cloud's dream,The Heaven can understand;  The Heaven's dream, I can understand;
My dream, who can understand?! September 22 Treating your life with honest 今天是我第一次真正关注了一下,所谓舆论对外国男子在中国的报道~~对于他们中国女友的偏重似乎甚于他们的国籍和他们的文化,他们的信仰和追求,我不理解为什么要把一些少部分人的作为笼统成一个群体呢?!难道中国男人就没有私生活混乱的吗？！选择~!!请大家慎重考虑这个词我只想说,每个人对待事物的价值观不同目的不同,他们的选择和决定也不会相同,本质上我从来也没有觉得他们和中国男孩有什么不同,拿我的朋友Dilip来说吧也是一位大学外教~~一个怀揣自己梦想和家人的期待,其中被自己的第一位师傅欺骗.不足以支付的金钱等等几经周折来中国追求自己向往的中国功夫.文化,那些坎坷和对理想的执着都使我非常感动和钦佩,他对别人始终说着"中国是他的父亲,他自己的国家是他的母亲",他想要以后都留在中国,他说他热爱中国!在他参加星光大道的时候,和他一样是外国籍的比赛选手"郝哥"站在星光大道的舞台上,无比激动的说:"我只希望有一天我能够加入中国国籍,中国是我的家."老毕说他是一位数学博士,放弃了自己国家航天局的工作,来到中国只为追寻一个梦.感动~甚至有些感到惭愧,在这里我只看到他们对中国文化的那份热忱,还有尊重,对我们国家的尊重!我自己作为一个中国人甚至都不懂的功夫和京剧,我们的文化在他们手里却演绎得如此让人惊叹~~我不得不替他们说句话,他们是生活在中国的外国人,但是他们也是人,和我们这些黑眼睛头发染成五颜六色的中国人一样生活在地球上的人类!是人类就分三六九等，关键是我们自己要自重，尊重他们不代表是崇洋媚外,是对我们自己的尊重!
当初我就在想到底要不要把自己的space改成英文的,因为我实在是找不到可以有实际练习意义的方式,我又非常想要提高我的"英格拉屎"(有时候自己都会取笑自己的英文很恶),所以我想既然这是我的地盘,那我就改吧..尽可能的改...想改的都改了,这真的让我有了不少提高,有时候一篇英文日志我自己每次看都有想改进的地方,改来改去我总觉得自己很不足,就很自觉的翻书了,发现了很多好的词汇词组原来都在书上,于是从一开始的简单问候祝福,到问一些问题...再到表达一件事情...简单讨论一点想法,对我都是一个一个跨越式的进步,还有朋友对我的宽容,他们是英语为母语国家的人,但是他们从来不会指责我的错误,他们只是想弄清楚我想要表达的一个意思.这里是一个平台,确实,我不会在英语课上对着中国人说英语,我很反感那样,觉得很怪异!即便是为了学习~,这种方式对我确实有效,你也可以找到你的方式,不要在别人非常想要和你交流时,脸红脖子粗的说sorry~！结果就是这样space中英文乱七八糟，不过我倒蛮享受这种感觉的！
上次看到另一个Vivienne的space里大大的写着honest,是的，真诚对待你自己，"我思故我在！“不管是外国人也好中国人也罢~真诚的选择你想要过的生活，真诚对待每一个人，他们会感受得到的！所以始终我也没有觉得老外和我们中国人有什么不同，只是不可否认的我们都互相好奇，对对方的语言文化的好奇生活的好奇，这就像刚上大一的时候认识天南海北的同学一样，互相讨论之间的生活差异`有趣的方言（很多地方的方言都像是另一个世界的语言）等等，其实男人都是一样的，天下乌鸦一般黑！哈哈~我经常问自己想要过一种怎样的生活，也会问一些朋友的看法，但是最终做决定的终究是我自己，我也不知道未来，谁也不知道？！每次我感到迷茫的时候我就会问我自己这个问题，自己究竟想要什么，选择绝对不轻松，面临选择的时候我最头疼，但是一但我弄清楚我的目的，事情就豁然开朗~也许梦想这个词对我来说有点遥远，但是我已经在路上了，我只希望我走的这条路始终向着我梦想的方向，我不会后悔因为我要对我自己的选择负责！希望大家都能真诚对待生活，过上自己想要的生活，少一些功利的心，做真实的自己，明天的太阳依然会照在每个人的脸上……^_^
PS:流氓外教在中国好象现在还是个热门话题了，看了些报道后感触挺多，自己也有些外国朋友，所以闲言碎语说了一大通~累了，收拾收拾上学去...... August 28 Count Duckula,I like it so much when I was a little girl 【原 片 名】Count Duckula

A self-taught artist, he formed a Dada group in Cologne, Germany, with other avant-garde artists. He pioneered a method called frottage, in which a sheet of paper is placed on the surface of an objectand then penciled over until the texture of the surface is transferred. In 1925, he showed his work at the first surrealist painting exhibition in Paris. 我们都知道马奈1863年创作的那幅《草地上的午餐》具有现代艺术的开创意义，这幅画正是恩斯特对这一经典作品的嘲弄。马奈表现了一个裸体的女人与两个着衣男子坐在树林里野餐的情景，而恩斯特则用一条鱼代替了那个女人，还去掉了其他人物。他还用“拓印法”将马奈画中的田园景色置换成了一个荆棘遍布的地点，并用一个空酒瓶取代了马奈的宴会。作为潜意识的神秘暗喻，鱼常常出现在超现实主义艺术中，它的尖牙和令人震惊的蓝眼睛都是危险的。画面左侧的那个无意义的词，在发音上与法语“淫秽”一词相似。
The Impressionist Era Claude Monet and his friends rejected the neoclassical imagery officially sanctioned by the Second Republic as imperial propaganda, and the academic exercise of drawing plaster casts as fear of reality. They hated working in a dusty atelier and painting in grays and browns that reminded them of mud, or worse. While working outdoors they discovered their real subject: a personal response to the natural world. Realized in distinct brushstokes left separate, not blended together as in academic practice, these paintings responded to how artists believed light and vision actually interact. The paintings' relation to nature was one of analogy, not illusion, and that made it modern and interesting: a reminiscence of the physical world constructed by the same means the artists believed that nature used. Post-Impressionism Like software, art may be thought of as a sort of machine that can be changed by those who use it. Already embedded was the strong classical tradition that runs through all European art, enshrining values of order, seriousness, and restraint. By these standards, some contemporaries of Impressionism found it lacking in formal rigor. Paul Cézanne sought to “treat nature by means of the cylinder, the sphere, the cone,” bringing out primal forms inherent in the motif. Paul Gauguin and his followers sought another alternative to Impressionism in remote and picturesque Brittany, using the region as a setting for symbolic works that went beyond narrative allegory and visualized primal spiritual situations, while Vincent van Gogh adapted the Impressionist method to realize his visionary landscapes and portraits. Rodin Before becoming Europe's most important sculptor, Auguste Rodin failed the exam for the Prix de Rome three times. Resigning himself to work as a journeyman, he developed his own course of study through enforced independence. During several months in Italy studying Michelangelo's sculptures and drawings, Rodin discovered his essential subject: the human figure as a vessel for spiritual experience, the supreme expressive instrument. Rodin's fans insisted on reading his figures allegorically, and he did not forbid this, but nevertheless avoided literal illustration. His goal was the creation of images general enough to evoke an individual resonance in the viewer through archetypal forms that suggest the result of some inchoate natural process. Their tragic grandeur was his vision of humanity's relation to existence. Picasso and the Avant-Garde The adventures of Post-Impressionism taught artists that form could be invented and represented by means other than illusion, so artists began to visualize aspects of experience that would otherwise remain hidden. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque invented a language that tremendously expanded the capacity of artists to change the world instead of passively accepting its appearance. And yet Cubism was no flight from reality, but a research program aimed at redefining it. Other examples of experimental daring include Frantisek Kupka's mystic union of color and form, Henri Matisse's paradise of color, and Surrealism's struggle for psychological insight. The explosion of new styles in painting and writing during the belle époque and the revelation of Cubism fostered an appetite for novelty that accelerated innovation through the 20th century. Modernism in Northern Europe At first centered in Paris, the realization that art could transcend literal depiction, that color could be explored for its own sake, and that form could be invented instead of passively accepted exerted a tremendous centripetal force and gave artists of Northern Europe new vocabularies with which to address subjects proper to their chilly homelands. An earnest engagement with social problems characterizes the work of most artists from Holland and Belgium, whereas Piet Mondrian devoted himself to formal inventions that became as influential as the work of Pablo Picasso or Henri Matisse. In Germany and Scandinavia the human figure became the focus of striking expressive strategies, from Lovis Corinth's feverishly expressive impressionistic painting to the bitter incisiveness of Otto Dix. In the British Isles, where the portraits of Harold Gilman and William Orpen responded to post-Impressionist trends, Ben Nicholson and Henry Moore created some of the century's most enduring works of abstractions.
