Short Biography

Andre Masson

André Masson (1896-1987) was one of the most important French painters connected with Surrealism. A close friend of André Breton, Joan Miró, and Max Ernst, he joined the Surrealist movement in the early 20s, then disassociated himself from it in the early 30s, focusing instead on a wild, symbolic interpretation of the forces of nature as well as the human condition with its fundamental impulses of love and hatred. Masson had been badly injured in the First World War, an experience which affected him deeply and coloured his depiction of violence as a powerful generative and destructive force running through nature. He was in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, where his work reflected the pain of that conflict as well as an intense interest in Spanish culture. In the early 40s, Masson moved to America and became interested in mythical imagery. Many of his paintings from this period are influenced by African American and Native American myths, and the style of his expression, particularly his adherence to Surrealist automatism, influenced many young American painters including Arshile Gorky.

Final Fantasy XIII is a RPG(role-playing game) developed and published by Square Enix and is the thirteenth installment in the Final Fantasy series. It was released for the PlayStation 3 entertainment system in Japan on December 17, 2009 and in North America and PAL regions on March 9, 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Some 1,300 years ago, a group fal'Cie constructed a paradise for humanity: the shell-like city of Cocoon, which floats high above the surface of Pulse under the power of the Cocoon fal'Cie Orphan. Then, the Cocoon fal'Cie created life forms and machines for Cocoon's inhabitants to use, and humanity flourished. A war was fought between the fal'Cie of Pulse and the Cocoon fal'Cie, and Cocoon prevailed in what was eventually known as the War of Transgressions. However, fear lingered in the hearts of the people of Cocoon, for the day another invasion might come from the world beneath again.

Although most Cocoon citizens have never seen Pulse with their own eyes, they have been told that it is a dangerous place that has strange effects on those who venture down to its surface. Consequently, anyone who is discovered to have been in contact with anything from Pulse is immediately subjected to quarantine and exile by the theocratic government of Cocoon, known as the Sanctum. The Sanctum enforces this policy with its strongest military branch, PSICOM.

As Snow leads the resistance group, NORA, in an attempt to stop the purging of civilians, the mysterious Lightning fights her way past PSICOM soldiers with the aid of Sazh to find a Pulse fal'Cie, Anima, who turned her sister, Serah (who is also Snow's fiancée), into a l'Cie. Through a chain of events, these three, along with two exiles, Vanille and Hope, are forced by the fal'Cie of Pulse to become l'Cie, and with that became enemies of humanity with the Focus of bringing about the downfall of the renegarde fal'Cie Orphan, who intends to use Vanille and Fang to summon the Eidolon Ragnarok and destroy the world.

Leona Lewis music "My Hands" from her new album "Echo" was declared the official music for FFXIII.

Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen born on 23rd September, 1949 and is an American singer-songwriter nicknamed "The Boss". He records and tours with the E Street Band. Springsteen's recordings have tended to alternate between commercially accessible rock albums and somber folk-oriented works. Much of his status stems from the concerts and marathon shows in which he and the E Street Band perform intense ballads, rousing anthems, and party rock and roll songs, amongst which he intersperses whimsical or deeply emotional stories. His most successful studio albums, “Born to Run” and “Born in the U.S.A”, epitomize his penchant for finding grandeur in the struggles of daily life in America, and the latter album made him one of the most recognized artists of the 1980s within the United States. Springsteen has gradually become identified with liberal politics. He has earned numerous awards for his work, including twenty Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes and an Academy Award, and continues to have a strong global fan base. He has sold more than 65 million albums in the United States and 120 million worldwide.
