Fire Photos by Kristen. Earth as Art: Landsat satellite images of the Earth from space look like paintings. The US Geological Survey has put together several collections called Earth As Art.
They feature Landsat satellite images selected for their artistic quality, rather than for scientific reasons. The Landsat programme is a series of Earth-observing satellite missions jointly managed by NASA and the US Geological Survey. Since 1972, Landsat satellites have collected information about Earth from space. The images are presented in "false colour" - satellites use both visible and invisible parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Near-infrared light is invisible to the human eye, but adding it to these images allows scientists to "see" the surface of the Earth in other than natural colours. In the style of Van Gogh's painting "Starry Night," massive congregations of greenish phytoplankton swirl in the dark water around Gotland, a Swedish island in the Baltic Sea.

I want an intimate physical involvement with the earth. I must touch. I take nothing out with me in the way of tools, glue or rope, preferring to explore the natural bonds and tensions that exist within the earth. The season and weather conditions determine to a large extent what I make.

When I began working outside, I had to establish instincts and feelings for Nature: some I never had, while others I had not used since childhood. A rock is not independent of its surroundings.

Turner Collection.
1 of 4 Tate Britain houses the world’s largest collection of Turner’s work.
It is home to the Turner Bequest, comprising 300 oil paintings and many thousands of sketches and watercolours (including 300 sketchbooks). The Bequest, including all works left behind in Turner’s studio at his death in 1851, forms the vast majority of the Turner collection at Tate. The paintings showcase the breadth of Turner’s output in oils and contain many celebrated works. They range from his early experiments in the medium such as Moonlight, a study at Millbank exhibited 1797, through to large-scale exhibition pieces including Rome, from the Vatican, and later, more impressionistic works such as Snow Storm – Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth exhibited in 1842.
Providing an insight into Turner’s methods, the drawings, watercolours and sketchbooks allow us to track the development of Turner’s ideas and to document his travels around the UK and Europe. Yves Klein - The Fire Paintings. In the spring of 1961, Klein was able to gain access to one of France's major destructive testing laboratories (much like NIST here in the USA), whose gas powered flame propagation equipment Klein made terrific use of.
Claude Monet. Through the generosity of Mrs.
Donop de Monchy (see Monet’s Friends) and Michel Monet, the Marmottan Monet Museum owns the largest Monet collection, from Impression, Sunrise to Giverny's Water Lilies. This collection, presented in a room specially built for this purpose, gives the public the unique opportunity to admire all the significant stages of the master painter's career and follow the evolution of his technique: from his youth caricatures of Le Havre’s personalities or Parisian critics, to the paintings inspired by his Giverny garden.
