JP was first introduced to the artist Piet Mondrian by his fourth grade teacher – this was shortly before we began homeschooling. JP loved Mondrian’s straight lines and bold colors instantly! He did Mondrianesque drawing after drawing for weeks! A few years have gone by, and after seeing a few Mondrian posts in the homeschooler bloggersphere, I decide we would revisit our old artist friend. After exploring some of the videos and links below, we did two projects based on Mondrian’s art. I j… »
I have two Caillebotte related stories to share.
1. Hands
Caillebotte: Details from The Floorscrapers, 1876
The first comes courtesy of one of my students, Charlotte Smith, who made an impressive visual research project for my class Visual Culture in France (1850-1900). Over the years, I’ve noticed that students have had success when they work in three dimensions, but draw from two-dimensional source material (or vice versa). This is exactly how Charlotte approached the project, as her artist… »

I love those good old films, and I love those good old westerns with John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Dean Martin, James Steward, Gary Cooper and with Maureen O'Hara. Actually I watched one of those films a few days ago on German Cable TV. The original title is "Cheyenne Autumn" and it has been made in 1963. It was the last western John Ford directed, and having watched it I wanted to know more about him. In this lens I present three of his westerns; two of them (Stagecoach and The Se… »

He was a master-forger jailed for faking Renoir paintings in a multi-million-pound scam that duped the art world for years. Now, having served his time, Guy Ribes has returned to his old trade – this time with a different aim.
Hieronymus Bosch lived from 1415 to 1560 in the Netherlands and was an Early Netherlandish painter. His paintings are examples of the Northern Renaissance which began at the same time as the Italian Renaissance but differed very much from it. You will see that for yourself if you compare Hieronymus Bosch’s paintings with those of Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo.
The widow of a Mafia associate from Maine, whose home the FBI searched three years ago as part of the investigation into the Gardner Museum heist, told authorities that she saw her husband give a painting to the Connecticut man who has become the latest person of interest in the notorious theft, the Globe has confirmed through several sources. The information was the basis for the recent thorough searches of the man’s home, according to his lawyer.

In 1995, 41 respected filmmakers got a shot at using the first motion picture camera, the Lumière brothers’ cinématographe. Rather, they got more than a shot, but often not much more: each of these icons of world cinema had to make do with a single, 52-second roll of film. Whether you were Spike Lee, Costa-Gavras, Wim Wenders, Merchant & Ivory, or Peter Greenaway, the rules remained the same: no additional film, no synchronized sound, and no more than three takes. This large, indirect collabora… »
Suzanna Hamilton as Susan with Sophie Neville as Titty busy writing the ship’s log
Something very exciting happened last week. Suzanna Hamilton came to see me, bringing the photographs that she was given during the filming of Swallows and Amazons along with a bundle of papers. I immediately recognised the blue bound diary that she had kept. Her God-given sense of humour fills the pages.
Although Titty was the one who always kept the ship’s log in Arthur Ransome’s stories, we children all kept »

This post is in part inspired by the Critical Craft Forum’s session at this year’s CAA conference, where a panel of craft theorists were asked to choose one or two words in response to the question ‘What is Contemporary about Craft?’ This was no mean feat, and the rich, and often contradictory, variety of responses prompted my own reflections on the challenge of capturing the condition of craft today. Inspired by a wonderful set of speakers at a small symposium I recently co-organised on Ideas »

The limestone-clad "gallery in a garden" designed by architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien is actually two buildings, linked by a central court that is topped with a long, illuminated light box. The replicated rooms containing the art collection face south, as they did in Merion, and the site – with walkways, pools, seating and sculpture – is richly landscaped.

May the 4th is the birthday of the late artist Keith Haring, who died in 1990 at the age of 31 of AIDS-related complications. Google is celebrating the artist’s memory with a doodle drawn in Haring’s distinctive style. Part of what made New York City such an exciting place to live in the 1980s for young art students were the chance encounters with Haring’s graffiti art, which he plastered over subway posters with his own white-on-black “radiant babies,” “barking dogs,” and other cartoon-like dr… »
