Charles Sobhraj (born April 6, 1944 in Saigon, Vietnam) is a serial killer of Indian and Vietnamese origin, who preyed on Western tourists throughout Southeast Asia during the 1970s.

Robert Delaunay (1885-1941) was a French artist who used orphism, similar to abstraction and cubism in his work. Delaunay concentrated on orphism, while his later works were more abstract, reminiscent of Paul Klee. His key influence related to bold use of colour, and a clear love of experimentation of both depth and tone. While he was a child, Delaunay's parents divorced, and he was raised by his uncle, in La Ronchère (near Bourges). He took up painting at an early age, and by 1903, he was producing mature imagery in a confident, impressionistic style. In 1908, after a term in the military working as a regimental librarian, he met Sonia Terk, who he later married, though at the time she was married to a German art dealer whom she soon would divorce. In 1909, Delaunay began to paint the ... Add to favourites (no fan yet)Biography of Patrick Roy
