    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.

Charles-François Daubigny - Les Bords de l'Oise - 1859 - Oil on canvas - 35 3/8 x 71 5/8 in (90 x 182 cm) - Musee des Beaux-Arts, Bordeaux (click photo for large image)Barbizon School painter, Charles-François Daubigny (1817-1878) was one of the Barbizon School artists. He was a landscape painter who specialized largely in riverside scenes. The Barbizon School was a group of landscape painters working in the area of the French town of Barbizon, south of Paris. They rejected the Academic Classicism that dominated the art scene, abandoning theory in an attempt to achieve a truer representation of life in the countryside. Although they are considered part of the French Realist School, the Barbizon painters--including Daubigny--prefigured Impressionism.
