Goodbye, snow

Snowman, snowman,

Tall and white,

Melting from the warm sunlight.

Bittersweet to see you go -

Hello, spring!

Goodbye, snow!

Art isn't business

Larry Poons (born1937) is an important postwar American artist. An accomplished musician, he first attended the New England Conservatory of Music before transferring to the Museum of Fine Arts Boston to pursue painting. After graduation, he moved to New York where he gained immediate acclaim for his grid-based “dot paintings”. In 1963, he had his first solo exhibition at the Green Gallery and he was the youngest artist in The Responsive Eye, a survey of post-war American art at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1965. But his art became more radical and although he continued to show his work in New York and it was still admired by critics, it proved less palatable for the market.

Larry Poons: Painting in itself is self-generating. It’s impossible to stay the same unless you’re catatonic. 

I’m a painter, so I don’t deal with the market. Before there was an art market, there were people painting in their caves. People just looked at the pictures and didn’t worry about what they meant or how much it cost.

There’s nothing wrong with business and there’s nothing wrong with art, but they’re two separate things. If you define success as being able to sell something to pay the rent, then that means you’re successful at paying your rent. It doesn’t mean that your art is any good or not.

In painting there is no wrong or right. Paint what you can paint. If you can’t paint figures but you can paint rocks, then paint rocks. If you keep working at it, you’re going to get better and better. As you go on, things that you could never do come about naturally. You’ll find that things just happen.

Letting go

Brooke Shields wrote in the introduction to her book 'There Was a Little Girl' about the 48 years that she knew - yet never really knew - her mother:

"My life always existed somehow in relation to hers. She affected everything in my life. She was at the aspex of it all. Nearly everything I did was for her, in response to her, because of her, or in spite of her. I was either emulating her of trying to define my independence from her. I was either trying to escape her or crash into her.... As a child, I literally couldn't imagine life without her. I used to think that if Mom died, I'd die too."

Bye Mom.

Old Holland

In 1664 starten verschillende oude Hollandse meesterschilders Old Holland op.

Vandaag is Old Holland (in Driebergen!) een begrip bij kunstenaars in binnen- en buitenland. 

Er wordt zowel olieverf, acrylverf als aquarelverf gemaakt.

Met dank aan Anita Kuijper, die ons heeft rondgeleid door de fabriek en beeldend heeft verteld over pigmenten en de geschiedenis van verf. 

Zeer de moeite waard!

How to recognize a Rembrandt?

This portrait was probably painted by Rembrandt around 1634 at the age of 28. The young man probably belonged to the elite of Amsterdam (Golden Age).

The oil canvas ended up in the collection of Richard Neave, governor of the Bank of England from 1783-85 and a trader in the West Indies. His descendants put it up for sale at Christie’s.
