  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    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.

Henri-Edmond Cross: An Influential Neo-Impressionist

DateFriday, October 25, 2013 at 11:06AM

Henri-Edmond Cross - La Terrasse Fleurie (The Flowered Terrace) - c. 1905 - Oil on panel - 9 1/8 x 12 1/2 in - Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (click photo for larger image)Henri-Edmond Cross (1856-1910) was a French pointillist painter and printmaker, who contributed a great deal to the Neo-Impressionist movement. The founder of that movement was Georges Seurat, and his goal was to make Impressionism precise in form--and more scientific in approach. Seurat was not the only Neo-Impressionist, however. The work of Henri-Edmond Cross heavily influenced Fauvism, considered to be the first of the Modern movements, and had a strong impact on Henri Matisse.
