Talk about a beautifully composed shot from Casablanca. This could be a painting.

Man, I love me some Futurism. Check this action out… I’ve loved it since college: I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold, by Charles Demuth (his Aucassin and Nicolette is also very good). Next time I’m at the Met, this is definitely on my to-see list.

Click the link above and watch the video/look through the sample to see why.

Google Art Project

The Google Art Project is kind of like Google Maps, but with hundreds and hundreds of works of art from galleries around the world. It’s… well… you’ll just have to go check it out.

(Thanks to Craig, my incredibly resourceful father-in-law, for the find.)

Isle of the Dead, by Arnold Böcklin

December 6th, 2010 | Filed under: Paintings | Tags: | Add a Comment »

The good news about The Isle of the Dead by Arnold Böcklin is that it’s beautiful, and that there are five different versions of it, each one of which is beautiful in its own way.

The bad news is that Adolf Hitler liked this painting. He bought it, actually. And Lenin had a print of it in his office.

Yeah.

It’s kinda scary to think that I saw and liked a painting that spoke deeply to both Hitler and Lenin. But be honest… didn’t you like it too? A little?

A Bierstadt for a rainy day. Look at that composition. A circle? For a storm?

Genius, I say.
