Create Review Critique Debate Ask. Wednesday, February 9, 2011. Concept to Composition Part 3: Odd Nerdrum's Painting Process. And now for the long awaited finale to Concept to Composition: Odd Nerdrum's actual painting process. And this is what I love the most about the way he works. There are so many people risking their lives everyday to keep us safe, so that we have the liberty to do what we do. The least we can do is paint like we have a pair! Oil painting techniques: glazing. Only then can I be sat...

Create Review Critique Debate Ask. Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Concept to Composition: Odd Nerdrum's Studio Practice part 1. When analyzing Odd Nerdrum's technique simply from looking at a painting (even in person), most people invariable come to a brick wall. It's almost inscrutable how he produces such sensuous and luminescent flesh, while at the same time creates a surface replete with texture and transparency that would make any abstract painter blush. He asked. And through the mists of my dream cloud...

Create Review Critique Debate Ask. Monday, June 16, 2014. Nerdrum Sentenced to Jail by Supreme Court: Final Verdict. Image Courtesy of Matthew D. Inness. June 2014, the Norwegian Supreme court sentenced Odd Nerdrum to one year in prison concerning allegations of gross tax fraud. I am no longer shocked but am continually outraged, as this is the third and final sentence regarding this case. And not least of all, a violation of his freedom of expression. And that it is first the responsibility of the prose...

Create Review Critique Debate Ask. Monday, August 30, 2010. Judging Art: Part II. The primary purpose of Art is the meaningful objectification of whatever is metaphysically important to man". - Ayn Rand. I offer for your contemplation the long awaited sequel to Judging Art: Almost Objectively. For my Kitsch colleagues, please see my first article to see how and why I'm using the term "Art". I have lately been reading a fascinating explication of Ayn Rand's esthetic theory, entitled What Art Is. Seriously...

Create Review Critique Debate Ask. Thursday, January 13, 2011. The Nude Ascending: by Donald Kuspit. With a large hole punched in her flattened torso, wounding and hollowing her, and Picasso’s 1930. Her body also a hollow construction, not to say a malfunctioning contraption. They are just a few of the female monsters—the avant-gardized woman’s bodies- that seem the sadistic rule in modernity: the female bodies brutally sacrificed on the altar of so-called art. That is, became Duchampian and Warholian, a...

Create Review Critique Debate Ask. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Hope in the Post-Industrial Autumn. Ivilizations, like the cycle of life and death; grow, flourish, mature and decay. This is as true for every being as it is for entire cultures. Is an unflinching meditation upon the plight of the nuclear family in a post-industrial world. Equally disturbing and emotively driven, these works seem to breath vision into the eloquent and sightless verbal wasteland of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Read as a whole...

Create Review Critique Debate Ask. Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Last February, I visited Denver for the first time for the purpose of filming an instructional drawing course. Responding to dozens of requests, I've tried several times to produce one myself, but simply couldn't resolve a high enough production quality with my limited resources and still offer an affordable price. This is where Craftsy.com. Better yet, for my readers, I'm going to give you 50% off my class if you sign up before April 15th. Conce...

Create Review Critique Debate Ask. Tuesday, February 17, 2015. The Easy Guide to Post Contemporary Philosophy. S a child I loved to take things apart to figure out the marvelous mechanisms by which they functioned. I would often summer at my grandparents’ house in Alabama, and I recall being fascinated by their beautiful antique clock. One day, when my grandfather left for work, my grandmother went to run errands, and for the first time I found myself all alone with the clock! In a nutshell, Contemporary...
