« How empty learning, and how vain is art,
But as it mends the life, and guides the heart ! »

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 190.

Howard Hibbard's Caravaggio (1983) is a good survey of the life & art of the artist, based round an account of (just) the firmly attributed paintings. Hibbard offers few speculations & grounds his biographical elements in the historical consensus. The account of the works is insightful & well-judged, but overall the book remains a little underwhelming given the excitement Caravaggio's work can elicit; a good but not a great book.

« Art is not the possession of the few who are recognized writers, painters, musicians; it is the authentic expression of any and all individuality. »

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 189.

If you're interested in Matisse and/or portraiture, then John Klein's Matisse Portraits (2001) will be a treat. Exploring the meaning of portraits & self-portraits & then relating this to Matisse's paintings & drawings, Klein constructs a really interesting account of the artist's method & how his interests informed his portraiture. Lavishly illustrated & well presented, this 20 year old book is well worth seeking out.

There is something rather optimistic about this work/installation - Passage, 2007 by Cornelia Konrads - it suggests (to me) there is always a passage to another (better/brighter) part of the forest - we just need to find it.

Doodling marine mammals to deal with election stress.
Did you know polar bears are the only bears that count as marine mammals?
Did you know that some whale have teeth & some don't?
Did you know that a narwhal's tusk is a really long tooth?
I just thought you'd like to know 💚

« The effect of music is so very much more powerful and penetrating than is that of the other arts, for these others speak only of the shadow, but music of the essence. »

If you think looking at art has a positive emotional & mental health benefit, there is growing scientific support to back up your feeling(s) about looking at art works.... it is good for you, and can help recovery in medical situations.

« Art and music make manifest, by bringing into conscious awareness, that which has previously been felt only tentatively and internally. Art, in its widest sense, is a form of play that lies at the origin of all making, of language, and of the mind's awareness of its place within the world. Art, in all its forms, makes manifest the spiritual dimension of the cosmos, and expresses … »

« What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only eyes if he is a painter, ears if he's a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he's a poet, or even, if he's a boxer, only some muscles? Quite the contrary, he is at the same time a political being constantly alert to the horrifying, the passionate or pleasing events of the world, shaping himself completely in their image... No, … »

Interior of a Protestant, Gothic Church, with a Gravedigger in the Choir, Emanuel de Witte, 1669
The depiction of church interiors was a separate speciality. De Witte was one of the last 17th-century artists to concentrate on these perspectival masterpieces. This painting offers an oblique ‘through-view’ into a church. T ...

I think I'm going to have this made into stationery on Redbubble, unless someone has a suggestion of a better place to do that?
Rectangle painted in matte black with a ripped up page from an Icelandic book. In between the paper pieces are painted gold streaks, possibly resembling rivers or evoking kintsugi. There is cheesecloth glued on top and rust powder has been sprinkled, although ti didn't turn very rusty and looks more like mold on book pages. There are six crow sillhouettes flying over the pieces of page. they have gold tipped wings and tails and asemic writing in gold on their black backs.

Article in NYT about a New Zealand stone sculptor. Great work and with insights into Māori-Pakeha relations.: “I’ve got a lot of respect for him and how he goes down the right avenues to source New Zealand stone,” he added. “Yes, he’s Pakeha, but he understands the tikanga about connecting to the stone,” Mr. Gardiner said, referring to Māori cultural lore, “and asking the tangata whenua for permission to use it.”

Someone said:

“Art Nouveau is when it looks made by elves.

Art Deco is when it looks made by dwarves.”

And after looking into it, I think they’re 100% correct.

A neurological study in the Netherlands has revealed that real works of art in a museum stimulate the brain in a way that is 10 times stronger than looking at a poster.
