I spent a few days last week in Amsterdam with my wife, enjoying a short break and some sight-seeing after my appearance at the Euro IA Summit . We purchased the 'I Amsterdam' card , which we found to be excellent value for money. On the first day, by the time we had visited the Rijksmuseum , the Van Gogh Museum , started using our 72 hour travelcard and taken a boat trip around the canals, we had...
• It is estimated that about a third of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings bear other artwork underneath. Recently, researchers from a range of institutions have used non-destructive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to reveal the hidden paintings in astonishing detail. Using the technique on van Gogh’s Patch of Grass painting, a group at Delft University of Technology has revealed a clear image of a female head....

My fave song on The Thickness' cd is number 5. He talks about what his dreamworld is like. No worries bout gas, no racism, Mrarvin Gaye was alive, Van Gogh was loved, etc. Got me to think about my dreamworld....
Humbling defeat in the fields. The air held by invaders. Birds, the sun, and again birds. By night what will be left of me? At night only the row of lamps the yellow wall of dry mud and from the bottom of the garden, through trees, like a row of candles, the windows, where I too, dwelt and do not dwell, the house where I lived and do not live, the roof which tucked me in safely. Ah God, then you covered...

A lot of people claim to be artists. They accrue some bizarre hobby and inflate their ego by comparing themselves to Mozart or Van Gogh. Most of them are just misguided blowhards. Sure, they may fool a few hapless souls by constructing cumbersome gates throughout Central Park or asking strangers to cut off articles of their clothing
I don't know who this Christopher Howse person is, but he strikes me as being either a) an idiot or b) will write any old tosh for money. Either way, his piece in today's Telegraph leaves a particularly nasty taste in the mouth. He's not alone, today's Guardian has a letter from Dr. Charlie Gere informing us that there is no such thing as free speech. With friends like these, who needs enemies? Ophelia...
Artists can only be judged by posterity, but in order for the artist to have work for posterity to judge, s/he has to sustain a career and a livelihood in the present. One can either get family or family resources to support one (Van Gogh, Cezanne, Constable); obtain the patronage of the powerful (Michelangelo had the Medici and the Popes; the Abstract Expressionists had the CIA); or grub a living...
We took a trip to MoMA last week to see some Van Gogh ("The Sower," killing it), some Kirchner ("Self-Portrait with Cigarette" maybe better than anything else) and some George Lois Esquire covers in a little corner. We left with the distinct sense that MoMA is thoroughly nailing it right now, especially after almost falling asleep next to Guston and a weird European couple on the flop pads in the...
Wait for it… Wait… Wait… Van Gogh was NOT creative until after he was dead, and the field of art RECOGNIZED his work as creative. Yup. NOTHING is truly CREATIVE unless it is RECOGNIZED and ACCEPTED as creative by the “experts” in a domain. If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is there to hear it, does [...]
When Vincent van Gogh was thirty-one years old, in the fall of 1883, he travelled to the bleak moors of northern Holland and stayed at a tavern in the village of Stuifzand. The local countryside... [[ This is a content summary. Full content at website.]]
According to the Telegraph, A portrait of a woman by Vincent van Gogh that he later painted over has been revealed in more detail than every before thanks to a new X-ray technique … [which] allowed the team - led by Dr Joris Dik, from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, and Professor Koen Janssens [...]
