Did Banksy's latest work bring misery to a homeless man? - Americas, World. (3 February 2012: The most expensive wall painting ever?) But first: that elephant. On the morning of 22 February, commuters driving along the Pacific Coast Highway that links LA's coastal suburbs of Santa Monica and Malibu noticed something unfamiliar. A derelict water tank, which had been sitting on a patch of wasteland for as long as anyone could remember, was jollified by a message stencilled in black paint. It said: "This looks a bit like an elephant. " A few hours later, photographs of the water tank appeared on the internet site www.banksy.co.uk. This is the forum through which the world's best-known graffiti artist showcases and authenticates his work. But in the fleeting world of street art, nothing lasts forever. Until today. Further inquiries show that the water tank has an extraordinary history stretching back almost two decades.

When I began as a film critic, Jean-Luc Godard was widely thought to have reinvented the cinema with "Breathless" (1960). Now he is almost 80 and has made what is said to be his last film, and he's still at the job, reinventing. If only he had stopped while he was ahead. That would have been sometime in the 1970s. Maybe the 1980s. For sure, the 1990s. Without a doubt, before he made his Cannes entry, "Film: Socialisme. " The thousands of seats in the Auditorium Debussy were jammed, and many were turned away.

Artist Bio Anton van Dalen was born in The Netherlands in 1938. He lives in New York City. Anton van Dalen’s Website. Carolina Souss. Art Swap. Bo Bartlett. Excerpt from the book Bo Bartlett, Heartland: “Bo Bartlett is an American realist with a modernist vision. His paintings are well within the tradition of American realism as defined by artists such as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth. Like these artists, Bartlett looks at America’s heart—its land and its people—and describes the beauty he finds in everyday life. His paintings celebrate the underlying epic nature of the commonplace and the personal significance of the extraordinary. “Bartlett was educated at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where realist principles must be grasped before modernist ventures are encouraged. He pushes the boundaries of the realist tradition with his multilayered imagery.

Life, death, passage, memory, and confrontation coexist easily in his world. Bo Bartlett Review Bo Bartlett’s Website Bo Bartlett at P·P·O·W. Teun Hocks. About this Work: Hocks’ photographs are cinematic in their process and mood. First, he constructs scenes in his studio and takes a black and white photograph. He then hand colors the photographs with transparent oil paint, taking precise care in the coloring in order to create specific emotions and atmosphere. The accumulation of these elements makes the environments seem like surreal portals. His films and drawings additionally reveal and delve into these worlds and also give greater insight to his storytelling and creative process. Performing as the ‘everyman’ in his photographs, Hocks invents scenes that are confrontations with failure, puzzlement and wonder.
