Vincent van Gogh Gallery - Welcome! evangile-et-peinture MUSEE MATISSE DE NICE - MATISSE MUSEUM OF NICE - Electrifying Photography Robert Buelteman uses high voltage photography Forget the notion of a reverent nature photographer tiptoeing through the woods, camera slung over one shoulder, patiently looking for perfect light. Robert Buelteman works indoors in total darkness, forsaking cameras, lenses, and computers for jumper cables, fiber optics, and 80,000 volts of electricity. This bizarre union of Dr. Frankenstein and Georgia O’Keeffe spawns photos that seem to portray the life force of his subjects as the very process destroys them. Buelteman’s technique is an elaborate extension of Kirlian photography (a high-voltage photogram process popular in the late 1930s) and is considered so dangerous and laborious that no one else will attempt it-even if they could get through all the steps. Buelteman begins by painstakingly whittling down flowers, leaves, sprigs, and twigs with a scalpel until they’re translucent. Via Wired

Fine Art: Chagall Ballet Illustrations, signature authentication Expert: Dan Twyman - 8/14/2008 QuestionQUESTION: I have several Chagall Ballet Illustrations printed by Tudor Publishing Co, Mourlot Freres, New York, 1969 with a pencil signature. They are beautiful. The COA is by George Kopel of the National Art Guild. The National Art Guild was a division of National Art Brokers. And: In closing George Kopel is dead. These explanations sound plausible, but there is nothing to substantiate them either way, hence the conundrum! ANSWER: Read this excerpt: There are several works by Dali, Picasso and Matisse currently for sale on eBay, all of them offered with a Certificate of Authenticity. This came from a site about Art Fraud. The link is: Dan QUESTION: Hi Dan, Thanks for you quick response. Thanks again, David AnswerKeep in mind, the Chagall or Dali world or the world of any of the masters, consists of a small group of people that have known each other for years.
