April 2003 Archives

...from Lascaux to Pago Pago

|

The Metropolitan Museum's Timeline of Art History. Wonderful interactive art history timeline, navigable by dates or geography. Very dense and full of cross-linked goodness.

...beyond giant soft sculptures

|

...from the Everlasting Nostalgia Dept.

|

The American Museum of Beat Art. Featured artists include Jackson Pollock, Ed Ruscha, and Franz Kline. And a slide show! With bongos!

...art therapy using computers and the web

|

Art therapy on PC helps patients, counselors click. Nice to see art therapy in the news. Interesting idea of using art therapy over the web to initiate counseling - sounds like a good way to break the ice with a counselor.

...beep beep

Gerald's Jeepney Gallery and short history of the Jeepney. A more thorough description and anatomy of a Jeepney. Brings the terms "art car" to a whole new level.

Outsider art : popular art :: alternative music : popular music.
Is it really "outsider" anymore when the whole phenomenon was co-opted by the museum/gallery machine the minute people started buying it? (Refer to alternative music analogy.) Can an "outsider" artist become an "insider"? Or does this term now refer more to an art brut style, and less about the connections the artist has to an established art market?


Great index of outsider art sites around the world.

...treasure, Poussin, and wishful thinking

|

Treasure map in a Poussin painting? Or convoluted conspiracy theory?

...beyond Madame Tinkertoy's House of Blue Lights

|

Dennis Hopper: actor, director, art collector, and accomplished photographer. I knew he was into art collecting and such, but I wasn't aware of his acclaimed photography talents.

...quick, Henry, the Flit!

The Advertising Art Work of Dr. Seuss. Wonderfully whimsical illustrations for clients ranging from GE to Standard Oil. I think my favorites are the ones for Gilbert & Barker.
