Art Master: August 2009
http://artmaster101.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Holbein's Dance of Death Alphabet. Last week I posted about Hans Holbein the Younger's Dance of Death. I feel like I left out a significant, and much acclaimed, section of the work - the Alphabet. Each letter measures only 2.5 x 2.5 cm, but is so full of detail that is even difficult to see in an enlargement. Below is a random sampling of some of the letters. Links to this post. Labels: dance of death. Hans holbein the younger. Tuesday, August 18, 2009. Links to this post.

Art Master: September 2009
http://artmaster101.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 17, 2009. Has become a classic image - many a college dorm wall has been adorned with posters of this strange figure. It is believed that Vincent painted this while in school. In an anatomy class. Measuring 32 x 24.5 cm and oil on canvas, I can think of almost no other image that gives me a better chuckle. You may also recognize it from the cover of David Sedaris' most recent book, When You Are Engulfed in Flames. Links to this post. Thursday, September 3, 2009. Links to this post.

Wednesday, July 29, 2009. One of history's most talented artists (and one of my personal favorites) was born in 1541. His expressionistic, slightly disturbing style and elongated forms - just look at those fingers - brought confusion to his contemporaries, but have become heralded today.

Art Master: Sir Painter, Anthony Hopkins
http://artmaster101.blogspot.com/2010/01/sir-painter-anthony-hopkins.html
Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Sir Painter, Anthony Hopkins. The famed actor, director, screenwriter and composer can now add "painter" to his list of artistic talents. I always get a little skeptical when someone in the movie biz decides to take on another artistic endeavor. It seems fame (and of course money) allow them to experience their curiosity with ease (while other more talented, yet struggling artists, are still at the bottom of the totem pole). Have influenced his artwork. Silence of the Lambs.
