Spike is Best: Max Monday

http://spikeisbest.blogspot.com/2015/07/max-monday.html

Monday, July 27, 2015. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts has a great online documentation of a recent restoration of Beckmann's masterpiece "Blind Man's Buff". My personal favourite of his triptychs). They have several sub-topics to peruse on the site relating to the work itself, to Beckmann and to the restoration. Very interesting. And here is one of the best biographical sketches. I've read about Beckmann, by Dr. Harold Joachim. Here's a good part:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Tautkus Studi...

The consonance between the words "spectator" and "spectre" is intriguing. The range of words beginning with "spec" have all to do with the gaze, with looking, with the eye, or the light that makes seeing possible, or, in the case of "spec" itself, not seeing. But consider how spectre. Links to this post. Wednesday, April 22, 2015.

Sketching: juillet 2014

http://bessodes2.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Mardi 22 juillet 2014. J'ai terminé d'encrer les dessins que j'avais faits pendant mon cours. Bizarre comme une page blanche au soleil devient bleue. Vendredi 18 juillet 2014. Cours et Musée Beaulne. Jeudi 10 juillet 2014. Lors d'un petit voyage à Québec, j'ai pris des photos pour me pratiquer à faire des croquis urbains. Celle-ci présentait justement un défi intéressant de perspective. Il faut dire que ce n'est pas une peinture, mais un sketch exécuté dans un temps relativement court. Sur le devant de c...

Probably Arboreal: August 2012

http://probablyarboreal.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Musings from under the family tree. Surname Interests and Map. Each has his own tree of ancestors, but at the top of all sits Probably Arboreal.". Wednesday, 8 August 2012. In the genes (part 2). So, as promised, here’s part two of yesterday’s part one. Though if you read the original article, you will already know the story! I find this rather intriguing – could this skill really be ‘in the genes’? If you follow this line of reasoning, surely it can’t be too ridiculous to argue that my natural apt...

Probably Arboreal: A sinister discovery

http://probablyarboreal.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-sinister-discovery.html

Musings from under the family tree. Surname Interests and Map. Each has his own tree of ancestors, but at the top of all sits Probably Arboreal.". Monday, 18 March 2013. This weekend I finally found myself with a bit of free time, mainly because my poor boyfriend had taken himself off to bed ill and hence he couldn’t force me to DIY. So, I turned to my family history for the first time in a while to do some proper digging. I decided that I would focus my efforts on the family of Doris Ross. In 1908. ...

Kirkstall creatures great and small. Occasional observations of fauna and flora around Leeds, Yorkshire and beyond. Sunday, 21 August 2011. On a recent trip to Jersey, one of our best sightings has to be this Map. Butterfly (Araschnia levana) that we discovered quite by chance in a bramble hedgerow at east of the island.
