ORCID. Site des collections. Take a Virtual Tour of Hieronymus Bosch's Bewildering Masterpiece The Garden of Earthly Delights. Art historians have argued about the meaning of The Garden of Earthly Delights—Hieronymus Bosch’s enormously sized, lavishly detailed, and compellingly grotesque late 14th- or early 15th-century triptych—more or less since the painter’s death.
What does it really say about the appearance and fall of man on Earth that it seems to depict? How seriously or ironically does it say it? Does it offer us a warning against temptation, or a celebration of temptation? Does it take a religious or anti-religious stance? And what’s with all those creepy animals and bizarre pseudo-sex acts? Panofsky said that in the 1950s, by which era he summed up the accumulated efforts to decode Bosch as having “bored a few holes through the door of the locked room; but somehow we do not seem to have discovered the key.” (Assuming you could successfully elbow your way past all the tour groups.) Via Metafilter. The MoMA Teaches You How to Paint Like Pollock, Rothko, de Kooning & Other Abstract Painters. Some may find her insufferable, but most readers adore her: the insouciant little pig Olivia—New Yorker, art lover, and Caldecott Medal winner—has forever embedded herself in children’s literary culture as an archetype of childhood curiosity and self-confidence, especially in scenes like that of the first book of the series, in which the fearless piglet produces her own drip painting on the wall of the family’s Upper East Side apartment after puzzling over Jackson Pollock’s work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
(Olivia also admires Degas, aspires to the ballet, and dreams of being Maria Callas.) Olivia’s headstrong challenge to Pollock is infectious, and enacts a notion common among amateur viewers of Abstract Expressionism—“I could do that.” Her “Jackson Piglet Wall Painting” features in a book that gives children their own set of instructions for making a pseudo-Pollock (on paper, of course). But mimicry is not the goal of MoMA’s class. A Quick Six Minute Journey Through Modern Art: How You Get from Manet's 1862 Painting, "The Luncheon on the Grass," to Jackson Pollock 1950s Drip Paintings. Even those not intimately familiar with Jackson Pollock's work know to file him under a category called "abstract expressionism," but somehow his massive paintings — and the layer upon layer of drips that constitute their visual and textural surface — still seem to slip categorization.
Some of the painter's fans would surely claim that, more than sixty years after his death, he does indeed still stand apart. But how far apart, really? Evan Puschak, better known as the Nerdwriter, takes on that question in the video essay above, "How Art Arrived at Jackson Pollock. " Puschak considers a particular Pollock painting from 1950, "the only abstract work of art that has ever floored me in person as soon as my eyes caught it," and asks why appreciation comes so much more easily for him with it than with other non-figurative works of art.
"I don't think the power of this Pollock depends on its place in the history of art. " he says. The Seven Road-Tested Habits of Effective Artists. Fifteen years ago, a young construction worker named Andrew Price went in search of free 3d software to help him achieve his goal of rendering a 3D car.
He stumbled onto Blender, a just-the-ticket open source software that helps users with every aspect of 3D creation—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing, and motion tracking.

You'd be forgiven for assuming that the Bauhaus, the modern art and design movement that emerged from the eponymous German art school in the 1920s and 30s, didn't involve many women.
Perhaps the famous near-industrial austerity of its aesthetic, especially at large scales, has stereotypical associations with maleness, but also, Bauhaus' most oft-referenced leading lights — Paul Klee, Walter Gropius, Wassily Kandinsky, László Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Schlemmer — all happened to be men. But if we seek out the women of the Bauhaus, what can we learn? "When it opened, the Bauhaus school declared itself progressive and modern and advocated equality for the sexes, which was rare at the time," says Evelyn Adams in her short video on the Women of the Bauhaus above.

When an artist looks at a chemical element, what do they see? Artistic depictions of several chemical elements feature in a new exhibition from today as part of Australia’s celebrations for the International Year of the Periodic Table.
