Telegraph | Arts | 'I use children as a metaphor for a lost paradise' (1382 words) |
 | Lux's solo American debut at the Yossi Milo gallery in New York just a year ago prompted a slew of articles in art and photo magazines on both sides of the Atlantic, plus sales of more than 500 of her photographs (worth roughly $5 million), most selling out their editions. |
| Lux's minor sensation has taken years of meticulous planning: "I started this work in 1999, but I didn't want to share it until I was ready, which was when I met my dealer, Yossi Milo," she explains. |
| Lux selects an image of a child from a hundred-odd taken over two or three sessions, "dropping" it into a separate computer file of backgrounds that she has painted or photographed during her travels around Europe - grassy fields, a country garden, a pebble beach, or abandoned buildings and interiors. |
| Austro-Hungarian Army - Oberst Anton Erwin Lux (690 words) |
| Anton Erwin Lux was born in Venice on the 23rd of December 1847 as the son of an Oberstleutnant-Auditor (Judge-Advocate Lieutenant Colonel). |
| Lux excelled from his earliest youth with a quick intelligence, a critical eye and a talent for drawing coupled with an interest in geography. |
| Permission was graciously given and Lux embarked for Luanda, the capital of the Portuguese colony of Angola where he participated as a geographer in the 2nd expedition of the German African society. |
