Silhouettes

Monday, November 24th, 2008

I love those silhouetted ladies. And by the way, as usual: if the artist recognizes his work, please contact me or comment here or on flickr. J’aime ces silhouettes de demoiselles. Et en passant, comme d’habitude: si un artiste reconnaît son travail, qu’il n’hésite pas à me contacter ou à commenter ici ou sur flickr. […]

Signal

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Je suis tombé par hasard sur cette image extraordinaire que je n’avais jamais vue et qui complète très bien les deux articles de Jonathan Jones dans The Guardian sur la nudité dans l’art. Curieusement, elle se trouve sur Wikipedia à l’article sur la Fontaine de jouvence, mais pas sur la page de Lucas Cranach. Cliquer […]

How to read images

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Jason Kottke calls it “the most information-rich paragraph I’ve ever read online…it’s like an entire film class in 12 lines”. It’s from a column named How to read a movie written by the great movie critic Roger Ebert: In simplistic terms: Right is more positive, left more negative. Movement to the right seems more favorable; […]

Boriss slideshow

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Premier essai de l’outil slideshow de flickr. D’abord, l’auteur de ce “papier collé” m’a contacté par flickr en y voyant mes photos de son oeuvre. Ensuite, je lui ai dit que j’allais prendre des photos tant qu’il y aurait des traces. En voici une série (à remettre en ordre chronologique). First try of the flickr […]

Big statement made by this artist with just two big paste-up. Impressive work. The signature seems to read something like “idifs” but I am not sure. More info is welcome.     Ce nouvel artiste impressionne dès son arrivée avec deux oeuvres grand format sur papier collé. Ça frappe. La signature semble être “idifs” mais […]

Art & Puzzle / Solution: Haldimand Tract

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

Near the railways, in St-Henri, Montreal, June 08. A few days later, after heavy rains, the work had vanished. I finally found a mass of paper among the weeds: I suppose it had been unglued by the rain then rolled around by the wind. I took it and unfold it, it was a little torn […]

How to draw anything (in 1 step)

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

From the famous author of How to get a free ipod! Meowza: You may be asking, “How could you possibly learn how to draw anything and everything in just one step? Are you a moron?” And if you are, there is no need for childish name-calling. Let’s be civilized adults here. Follow along as I […]

Warren Ellis: I collect stars, but I keep them in the sky because I just don’t have the space at home. bruno boutotMore Posts – Website Follow Me:

Art

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Roberta Smith, nytimes.com: It does gives me pause that 26 of the 36 artists have master’s degrees in fine arts from respected universities or art schools. I think most of them should ask for their money back. On the evidence here, at least, they have only a meager understanding of what being an artist entails. […]
