Father Albert Cutié and Ruhama
Canellis. Splash News
Alberto Cutie, 40, who joined the Episcopalian Church after the photos scandal stoked debate over the Catholic celibacy requirement for priests, married 35-year-old Ruhama Buni Canellis on Tuesday in a civil ceremony, the Miami Herald reported.
Embattled priest, Father Albert Cutié left the Roman Catholic Archdiose for the Episcopal church and announced that he will marry Ruhama Canellis, the woman at the center of the religious scandal that has rocked the Miami area.
Cutié and Canellis had apparently been having an affair for two years when they were photographed frolicking on the beach and kissing. Those photos, which ran in TV Notas a few weeks ago, led to the Father being forced to leave his congregation and posts in the Archdiocese of Miami. At the time, Cutié said he wasn't sure which direction his life would take, or whether he would continue being a Catholic priest. The whole ordeal had been the cause of much soul searching on his part, especially since the woman at the heart of the matter was not a fling, but rather someone he loved.
Cutié and Canellis participated in a small, private cermony yesterday surrounded by Priests and deacons from the Episcopal church, many of whom were accompanied by their wives. Bishop Leo Frade, head of the Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida, led the ceremony as the couple were officially accepted into the Episcopal church.
"I am continuing the call to spread God's love," Cutié told the Miami Herald, pointing out that he had experienced a "deep spiritual and ideological struggle."
A staggering exhibit at New York's Gagosian gallery documents the tumultuous final years of Picasso's life.
"Picasso: Mosqueteros" is the first exhibition in the United States to focus on the late paintings since "Picasso: The Last Years: 1963-1973" at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1984. Organized around a large group of important, rarely seen works from the collection of Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, as well as works from The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museo Picasso Málaga and other private collections, "Picasso: Mosqueteros" aims to expand the ongoing inquiry regarding the context, subjects, and sources of the artist's late work. Building on new research into the artist's late life through the presentation of selected paintings and prints spanning 1962-1972, the exhibition suggests how the portrayal of the aged Picasso, bound to the past in his life and painting, has obscured the highly innovative and contemporary nature of the late work.
The tertulia, an Iberian tradition of gregarious social gatherings with literary or artistic overtones, played a major part in Picasso's everyday life, even after he moved to the relative seclusion of Notre-Dame-de-Vie in the 1960s. The inner circle of Picasso's last years differed from its precedents in that, in addition to the writers and artists whom Picasso had always favored, it included a contingent of imaginary personages—musketeers, matadors, cavaliers, prostitutes, circus performers – borrowed from the history of art or developed in conversation with his friends. These characters, who fill the late paintings and prints, were drawn from a vast array of sources, from the old masters to the media. As a body of work, Picasso's late period is among the greatest demonstrations of his constant invention of the new, in terms of style, technique, and subject and, indeed, in relation to the history of his own creative output.

I enjoy myself to no end inventing these stories. I spend hour after hour while I draw, observing my creatures and thinking about the mad things they're up to. -Pablo Picasso, 1968 ”

He is one of the thousands of unemployed workers, Ecuadorian emigrant Mauricio Coyago can not longer pay his mortgage, therefore it occurred to him to organize a raffle.
His idea is making him famous. Ecuadorian Mauricio Coyago 41 is now a familiar face through many Spanish media sources. He is an immigrant that represents the hundreds of stories result of the crisis in Spain’s economic trouble.
He worked until last July in construction, but the backlash of the strike also hit him and left him without his monthly income which reached 1,300 Euros, - His wife, also an Ecuadorian from Quito is currently unemployed and caring for their three children, ages 9, 6 and 5, the middle child, their daughter, has a disability.
Mortgage debt of their apartment which they bought four years ago for an undisclosed amount, has prevented them from paying their dues, and money he charges for the strike is not enough. "It is less than 1,000 Euros. Some people ask me how five people can live with that? – Well, with the thigh economy, by buying only what the body needs,” Coyago said.
But he ads, he is not the kind of person that "gets defeated easily" I always tell my kids: “you have to be like eagles, -learn to fly high and don’t let anybody take your dreams away from you."
Now, when the crisis tightens, he applies to himself the same principle: to dream.
To save his place he has devised a lottery, calling people's attention with this message: "I sell my apartment for one Euro."
