2007-08-18 08:25 American Impressionism
I never really enjoyed much of the Impressionist art movement until a trip back to Chicago a few years ago. While there, a buddy's ex-girlfriend, who's an art dealer and was in town for an art show, took me on a tour of one of the biggest French Impressionist's shows to be held at the Art Institute of Chicago. Once I understood what I was looking at, my opinion totally changed. Now, I'm a big fan. So the basic history is... In Paris, during the Spring of 1874, a group of painters organized an …

2007-08-17 01:40 Oak Haptic - Ashland, Oregon
Last week I had the good fortune to stay on a "ranch" outside of Ashland, Oregon. In terms of haptic s I had decided to Work Large. In Arcata - on the way up - I bought a 20 x 30 inch piece of archival paper, as well as a new black Micron pen and a Micron Brush. Sadly, I recently learned that the Sharpie pens I have been using are not "permanent ink" as they describe themselves. In fact - learned from the kind store clerk - the ink contains destructive acid and the black will fuzz out and turn d …

2007-08-10 18:46 Edward Hopper as an Illustrator, 1906-1925
I mentioned Gail Levin's excellent title above so if you're interested in learning more, it's in the book. She's the authority. I'll just add some opinions from another point of view. That's the cover and you can still get it used in paper at Amazon and for considerably less at ABE books. Click on these images to enlarge them. Detail of the above. This would have made a great illustration if only Hopper had cared about the characters. The rigging and the action are well delineated but there's no …

2007-08-07 13:46 Toxic Food
The Houston Chronicle recently reported some disturbing environmental news : For the first time, Texas has generated its own "dead zone" in coastal waters, scientists say. The 1,750-square-mile area of oxygen-depleted water, stretching from Freeport to Matagorda Bay, is potentially deadly to marine life. ... Until this summer's heavy rainfall, Texas A&M University oceanographer Steve DiMarco said, Texas rivers typically were incapable of carrying enough fresh water into the Gulf to create dead z …

Last Saturday, the Georgia Museum of Art opened an exhibition -- More than Words: Illustrated Letters from the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art .From the exhibition catalogue: "Words speak volumes, but, as every letter writer knows, there are times when they simply won't do. When the author happens to be a visual artist, he [or she] has an added advantage--one that transforms ordinary stationery into a canvas." More than Words "chronicles those occasions when words were not enough, and som …

Melanie Phillips sums it all up beautifully. Here's her latest article in full: July 24, 2007 The truly miraculous properties of carbon dioxide As inevitably as night follows day, the cause of the torrential rain and consequent flooding in Britain is being attributed to our old friend man-made global warming. No matter that the reason for the flooding lies in man-made political and administrative incompetence money-starved flood defences, badly maintained drainage systems, irreponsible over-buil …
