My Walker Percy Quote

September 18, 2013 — Leave a comment

There are quotes everyone should live by and carry with them through life. This is one of my favorites and why I make pictures.

“The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.”

― Walker Percy

Walker Percy is a wonderful southern writer and author of the The MovieGoer which won the National Book Award and was listed by Time Magazine as one of the  100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.

New Van Gogh Painting Discovered

September 9, 2013 — Leave a comment

It’s not everyday that we get a new Van Gogh. Long thought to be a fake, Sunset at Montmajour has just been officially “discovered” as a Van Gogh original mostly because of new techniques the museums use to make these determinations.   This one was painted by Vincent in Arles, in 1888 and is more of a traditional landscape composition but in terms of painting style is very much a Van Gogh.

Masters Series: John Chamberlain / Sculpture

September 6, 2013 — Leave a comment

Working in the vein of the abstract expressionist’s but mostly known for his work with crushed auto bodies John Chamberlain was a master sculptor who could turn the ugly into the sublime in a monumental way. Watch him work in a wheelchair on one of his last exhibitions.
