    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.

Pierre Bonnard - Exquisite Taste in Dazzling Light and Color

DateWednesday, September 26, 2012 at 11:18AM

Pierre Bonnard - The Letter, 1906, National Gallery of Art at Washington D.C. (click photo for larger image)The French painter and printmaker, Pierre Bonnard (1867-1946) was a member of the group of artists called the “Nabis.” They believed that a work of art reflects an artist’s synthesis of nature into personal aesthetic metaphors and symbols. The Nabis were heavily influenced by Japanese woodcuts, the works of the French Symbolists, and English Pre-Raphaelite art. Bonnard e is generally regarded as one of the greatest colorists of modern art--used to represent intimate, sunlit domestic interiors, as well as still-life paintings.
