Scroll (detail) by Bette Burgoyne

Immerse yourself into a fantastic work of art by Bette Burgoyne - what a great trip!

The drawing "Scroll", by artist Bette Burgoyne, was completed in early 2011 and displayed through April 2011 at Amo Art Gallery. "Scroll" is white pencil on black paper, measuring over 10 feet in length. Display requirements make viewing "Scroll" in person a rare experience. In order to share the drawing with everyone, this 5 minute video was created.

- Video editing by Jeff Cerar / 4th Wall Films.

- Music permission for Animal Collective's "Visiting Friends" specifically for "Scroll" granted by Animal Collective, Rough Trade Publishing, and Fat Cat Records.

- Image file of "Scroll" courtesy of Art & Soul Photo, Seattle, WA.

Scroll, a white pencil drawing on black paper measuring over 10 feet in length, debuted in April 2011 at Amo Art.

Art book - Die Rückkehr des Menschen in die Kunst

Die Rückkehr des Menschen in die Kunst - Angerer der Ältere

Die Rückkehr des Menschen in die Kunst - Angerer der Ältere

Demnächst erscheint der Kunstband von Angerer der Ältere "Die Rückkehr des Menschen in die Kunst", angelehnt an das weltberühmte Buch von Ortèga y Gasset "Die Vertreibung des Menschen aus den Kunst".
Die Gestaltung der 2 Bände mit Schuber lehnt sich auch an die Tradition des "Schönen Buches" an. Es wird das Gesamtwerk von Angerer der Ältere sein, das sich im Programm des Verlagshauses Kastner wiederfindet. Weitere Informationen werden folgen. Es ist ein großes Oevre geworden. Aber hier als Vorausschau die Titelbilder als erste Information.

Note: this book will be published in German - find a translation of the above text here:

Soon the art book of Angerer der Ältere, "The Return of Humanity to Art" appears, inspired by the famous book by Ortega y Gasset "The Dehumanization of Art". The design of the 2 volumes with slipcase leans also on the tradition of "the beautiful book". It will contain the complete works of Angerer der Ältere, which again can be found in the publishing house Kastner program. Further information will follow. It has become a large oeuvre. But here as a preview, find the titel pages as a initial information.

Ortega y Gasset

Here is some background information about the book by Ortega y Gasset "The Dehumanization of Art"

I was also able to find a English translation as well, and include it here as a PDF ►

The Antipodes Project was a collaborative art project started by Ben Tolman in 2006.
It was an ongoing, evolving project dedicated to exploring the antipodes of our collective mind.
The project was later continued by fellow artist Joe MacGown.

Note:
this is just one of the project pieces artists were working on. There may be more completed in future.

Einfach Phantastisch - Sonderausstellung Barockschloss Riegersburg - Press Update

Post by Otto Rapp

Grenzüberschreitende Phantasie
In Schloss Riegersburg im Waldviertel geben sich Barock und Phantasten die Hand.

this is a article in the German language magazine Morgen (Kulturzeitschrift aus Niederösterreich) written by Verena Kienast

Francesca Pilati vor dem Apokalyptischen Reiter des deutschen Malers Wolfgang Grasse. Als Herrin auf Schloss Riegersburg hat sie das barocke Anwesen als reizvolle Begegnungsstätte mit moderner Kunst aus Österreich und den Nachbarländern etabliert.

Vladimir Petrov-Gladky, Hommage zu Salvador Dalí (2014)

Vladimir Petrov-Gladky, Hommage zu Salvador Dalí (2014)

Auf den ersten Blick haben sie denkbar wenig gemein, die Werke der barocken Meister und die Jahrhunderte später entstandenen Arbeiten eines Rudolf Hausner, eines Ernst Fuchs oder eines Arik Brauer. Auf den zweiten Blick hingegen stellen die Üppigkeit von Phantasie und Formen und die geradezu traumhafte Verkettung von Objekten und Ereignissen durchaus verbindende Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen den zwei Kunstrichtungen aus zeitlich recht weit voneinander entfernten Epochen der europäischen Kulturgeschichte dar. Und so gehen auch die Werke phantastischer Kunst der vergangenen Jahrzehnte in ihren unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen mit dem barocken Umfeld von Schloss Riegersburg im Waldviertel eine reizvolle, spannende Symbiose ein.

The Birth of Venus by Alexandre Cabanel

11/8/2015

Post by Otto Rapp

The recent exhibition Phantastische Venus in Viechtach made me think of this great romantic painting by Alexandre Cabanel, painted in 1863.

"Alexandre Cabanel - The Birth of Venus - Google Art Project 2" by Alexandre Cabanel - Google Art Project: Home – pic Maximum resolution.. Licensed under Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons.

Sandro Boticelli - The Birth of Venus

Venusmaschine by Reinhard Schmid

Fast forward to present day and behold the "Große Venusmaschine" by Reinhard Schmid - who is the curator for the aforementioned exhibition Phantastische Venus in Viechtach

When we think of The Birth of Venus, immediately the famous painting by Sandro Boticelli comes to mind, exclusive of any other. Painted in 1483-85, there are almost 400 years between these two.

Going further back, the Venus de' Medici from the 1st-century BC is considered the ultimate model of this allegorical figure.
