En el pasado, restaurar cuadros era hacerlos parecer nuevos, pero hoy la restauración significa descubrir aspectos desconocidos de la obra, entablar un diálogo cara a cara con el pintor, a través del tiempo, y aplicando técnicas científicas de vangurdia, según explica Ubaldo Sedano, Jefe de Restauración del Museo Thyssen de Madrid . El Museo Thyssen está restaurando el “Paraíso”, de Tintoretto, una de sus obras más emblemáticas , que ocupa un lugar privilegiado en el hall principal de la planta baja, junto a los retratos de los barones. Y lo hace de cara al público , contando todo el proceso previo en un audiovisual detallado y una exposición explicativa.

Andy Warhol, il re media - Exibart.com
Forse è l'inconscio desiderio di fermare l'attimo nella voracità della corsa contro il tempo, a dare a Andy Warhol (Pittsburgh 1928-New York 1987) una ragione in più per fare arte attingendo alla notizia: il dramma, il gossip, l'evento. Certo è che per "il principe della Pop Art che trasformò una scatoletta di zuppa in un tesoro da museo" (come leggiamo sulla prima pagina del 23 febbraio 1987, in cui viene annunciata la morte dell'artista all'età di 58 anni, in seguito ad un intervento alla cistifellea) si trattava di attrazione/ossessione per tutto ciò che è news/notizia. Tanto per cominciare era un grande collezionista: amava raccogliere qualsiasi cosa, dagli oggetti preziosi a quelli quotidianamente banali.Imagining Starry Night
Alex Ruiz often wondered how the sky looked when Vincent van Gogh painted Starry Night .
This translates to pieces made from acrylic and wood, featuring manic, unlined, geometric shapes that are tightly pieced together to form distinct profiles, animals, and figures with a 3D effect that leap out at the viewer.

Make: Online | Amazing Banksy painting costume
MAKE contributing illustrator Tim Lillis sent me pics of his friend George Schnakenberg ‘s Banksy painting costume, and I’m totally having costume envy over here. Hands down my favorite getup from this Halloween. Here’s a comparison pic of George’s costume versus the original Banksy “Flower Thrower” painting:
DHC/ART
DHC/ART Fondation pour l’art contemporain présente deux expositions solo Commissaires : Phoebe Greenberg et John Zeppetelli DHC/ART a le plaisir de présenter deux expositions solo simultanées, l’une de la célèbre sculpteure belge Berlinde De Bruyckere, et l’autre, du peintre américain John Currin — deux artistes figuratifs internationaux de premier plan œuvrant dans la tradition virtuose des grands maîtres et qui explorent toujours les paramètres de leurs disciplines respectives tout en les élargissant. Berlinde De Bruyckere a acquis une stature internationale à la Biennale de Venise de 2003 où elle exposait The Black Horse – la figure monumentale, horriblement déformée, d’un cheval à la peau luisante. Avant cette apparition à Venise, elle avait exposé cinq moulages de chevaux morts grandeur nature, In Flanders Fields, poignante illustration de la Première Guerre mondiale, au Musée des champs de bataille de Flandre, à Ypres, en 2000.peinture

"Alien, Prometheus and the Art of H.R. Giger" by RedBubble
H.R. Giger’s Alien Monster IV Alien, Prometheus and the Art of H.R. Giger by Evan Chapman Childhood fears take many different forms; thunderstorms, bogeymen, or the two impossibly huge dogs next door that were always perilously close to knocking the blasted fence down: Make it stop!!! …Ahem.
June 25, 2012, 8:15 am It took Vincent van Gogh untold hours to create what may be his best-known work, “The Starry Night” (1889), but it took noted YouTube domino whiz FlippyCat just 11 hours — not including her failed first attempt — to recreate the Post-Impressionist masterpiece using 7,000 dominoes. The resulting composition, despite a pair of misfiring dominoes, is striking in its evocation of van Gogh’s thick daubs of paint and the rich textures of the original, which is among the crown jewels of MoMA ’s permanent collection. FlippyCat doesn’t specialize exclusively in modern art, though. Back in 2007 she created a 4,519-domino replica of Leonardo ’s “Mona Lisa.”

Paper Art - 100 Extraordinary Examples of Paper Art
Paper art can be traced back to Japan, where it originated over a thousand years ago. From complex paper cutting to book carving, this is an ever expanding area of design that is hardly talked about.

Slender, freckled, auburn-haired Alexa Meade is in her parents' basement in Chevy Chase. It's 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. She resists the temptation to Google herself. Instead, she sets an empty Grand Marnier jug between a mirror and an inclined plate of glass, traces the bottle and its reflection on the glass with black paint, then traces the reflection of the paint itself. Next, she sprinkles her expired thyroid medication into a can of Betty Crocker frosting, stirs it and scoops the mix into the pill bottle.
