Old master drawings are a challenge for conservators. Fragile and damaged over time simply by exposure to light, drawings cannot be placed on permanent display, or even frequent display. Every period of exposure to light must be considered, in effect, a time subtracted from the life of the drawing. Also, drawings, even those by great masters, receive less notice and attention than paintings, and for both reasons are less frequently the subject of mounted exhibitions. So when collections or parts of collections of master drawings are exhibited, it’s worthy of notice. The Morgan Library and Museum in New York, which I have written about previously , and mentioned in my recent post on their cuerrent exhibit, The Hours of Catherine of Cleves , is home to a great collection of master drawings. They have drawn form it, if you’…

AWN is a dock/app launcher/taskbar application that is inspired by MacOS X-es dock, or whatever that thing on the bottom of the screen's called. The application's not only nice on the eyes it's also quite useful as you will soon realise after watching this video. If by any chance you do not have AWN in your repositories then add this one to your repos list: deb repoubuntusoftware.info karmic all#Ultimate Edition Repository However if you're running a Linux different to Ubuntu 9.10 (or Ubuntu 9.10 based distros, as my Mint in this video) than change the word "karmic' in this line to the approperiate name according to Ubuntu's distributions naming convention. The repo above does not belong to me, it is a part of Ultamatix which can be found at this address - http AWN's current website's address - wiki.awn-project.org If you liked this video or found it helpful then please subscribe!

Despite the way he has for years been dismissed by critics as a facile but emotionless society painter, I’ve long felt that John Singer Sargent was one of the great painters in the history of Western Art. Though he still doesn’t get the respect I think he deserves, Sargent’s star has risen in recent years. It would have been...

As I’ve mentioned before (also here ) the attribution of works to artists from the past is often an inexact science, perhaps more of an art in itself. Attributions change, and works once identified with one artist are subsequently assigned to another, or often, to pupils of the artist. Sometimes the reverse happens, and works once assigned...

An animation art gallery recently received a call from a collector who wanted to sell three drawings of Pluto from the 1937 short film, Hawaiian Holiday.
