Martial Raysse is a French artist and actor born in Golfe-Juan on in 1936. He lives in Issigeac, France.
Raysse was born in a ceramicist family in Vallauris and began to paint and write poetry at age 12. After studying and practising athleticism at a high level, he began to accumulate rubbish odds and ends that he preserved under plexiglas. In 1958, he exhibited some of his paintings with Jean Cocteau at Galerie Longchamp.
Fascinated by the beauty of plastic, he plundered low-costs shops with plastic items and developed what became his "vision hygiene" concept; a vision that showcases consumer society. This work received attention and critical praise in 1961, and at a commercial gallery in Milan, his exhibition sold out 15 minutes before the opening. Raysse then traveled to the United States to get involved with the pop art scene in New York City.
In October 1960, Raysse, together with Arman, Yves Klein, François Dufrêne, Raymond Hains, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Jacques Villeglé and the art critic and philosopher Pierre Restany founded the group Nouveaux Réalistes. The group was later joined by César, Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle and Christo. This group of artists defined themselves as bearing in common a "new perspective approaches of reality". Their work was an attempt at reassessing the concept of art and the artist in the context of a 20th-century consumer society by reasserting the humanistic ideals in the face of industrial expansion.
In 2011 Raysse's painting, Last Year in Capri (Exotic Title), sold for $6.58 million at Christie's auction, the most expensive price paid for a work by a living French artist. The sale coincided with a resurgence in interest among collectors for Raysse's work. Attention to Raysse had waned after he moved into classicist painting in the 1960s while abstraction was peaking. The 1993 purchase of his work and commissions by billionaire François Pinault drew more attention to Raysse.Raysse acted in Jean-Pierre Prévost's 1971 film Jupiter. He then wrote and directed the 1972 film Le grand départ.

Another interesting pattern, but this time it's from the information on the pattern.
It's a pants pattern from 1961, and on the back is a description of what various lengths of pants are called:
SHORTS Top of Thigh
JAMAICAS Mid-Thigh
BERMUDAS Above Knee
PEDAL PUSHERS About Half-way Between Mid-Calf and Knee
CALF SKINNERS Mid-Calf
CAPRIS Below Calf
SLACKS Above Ankle
For a historical reference, the Dick Van Dyke show aired from 1961 to 1966.

What is the Strongest Smelling Candle Brand?
The smell of a candle can be one of the most powerful and comforting elements of a home. Whether it’s the scent of freshly baked cookies or a relaxing lavender aroma, candles can bring a sense of warmth and coziness to any space. But when it comes to choosing the strongest smelling candle brand, there are a few factors to consider. In this blog post, we’ll explore what makes a candle brand stand out from the rest and which brands offer the strongest scents for your home.
What Makes a Candle Brand Stand Out?
When it comes to choosing a candle brand, there are several factors that make one stand out from the rest. Quality ingredients, unique scents, and attractive packaging all play an important role in creating an unforgettable experience for your customers. Quality ingredients are essential in creating strong-smelling candles that last longer than others on the market. Unique scents are also important as they give customers something different from what they’ve experienced before. Finally, attractive packaging helps create an inviting atmosphere for customers and encourages them to purchase your product. Glasshouse candles are a great choice!
Popular Candle Brands with Strong Scents
There are many popular candle brands on the market today that offer strong-smelling candles with unique scents. Yankee Candle is one of the most popular brands and offers an extensive range of fragrances including floral, fruity, woody, and spicy aromas. Another popular brand is Bath & Body Works which offers an array of seasonal scents such as pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon that make any room feel cozy during colder months. Other popular brands include WoodWick Candles which feature natural wood wicks that crackle when lit; Voluspa which offers luxurious fragrances made with natural ingredients; and Diptyque which has been creating unique scents since 1961.
The Best Candles for Maximum Scent Throw
When it comes to finding the strongest smelling candles on the market, there are several brands that stand out from the rest. For maximum scent throw (the amount of fragrance released into a room), look for candles made with high-quality waxes such as soy or beeswax as these tend to burn slower and longer than other types of waxes. Additionally, look for candles with high concentrations of essential oils as these will provide stronger aromas than those made with synthetic fragrances or dyes. Some popular brands known for their maximum scent throw include Yankee Candle, Bath & Body Works, WoodWick Candles, Voluspa, Diptyque, and Capri Blue Candles.
Conclusion
If you're looking to shop gifts online, or maybe something for yourself, a candle is a great choice. Choosing the strongest smelling candle brand can be tricky but by considering quality ingredients, unique scents, attractive packaging and maximum scent throw you can find one that suits your needs perfectly! Whether you’re looking for something sweet or spicy there’s sure to be a candle brand out there that will fill your home with beautiful aromas!

Capri-Suns came about from “The Father Of Capri-Sun” in 1961. The original name for it was Capri-Sonne and was sold in the flavors lemon and orange. Around 1973, Capri-Suns become popular to the point where they went from selling them in six packs to ten packs. In 1980, Capri-Suns became so popular that they were being sold in Africa and Asia. It was then claimed as the best new product in both America and Europe. In 2004, Capri-Suns broke its own record by selling over five billion pouches worldwide. In 2007, Capri-Suns introduced new packaging and flavors. Now, Capri-Suns are sold and enjoyed in 119 countries.
Capri-Suns have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I remember them being present at birthday parties, cook-outs, school events, anything dealing with children and partying. When purchasing products, I think about whether or not it’s harmful to the environment. Capri-suns have been trying to be more on the green side by reducing the materials needed to produce and transport. Although there is so much more that needs to be done, they are aware of the issues and working towards solutions. Speaking of how they are being made, Capri-Suns were originally manufactured in Germany, but now are manufactured all over the world. The headquarters in Switzerland has about a thousand workers working everyday. It doesn’t seem like they participate in child labor or any harsh things similar.
