  • 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.

Otto Mueller - Die Brücke

DateMonday, January 27, 2014 at 12:06PM

Otto Mueller - Village Creek with Bathers - c. 1928 - Private collection - c. 1928 - Height: 90.4 cm (35.59 in.), Width: 116.2 cm (45.75 in.) - Distemper on burlap (click photo for larger image)Otto Mueller (1874-1930) was a leading member of the Die Brücke  (The Bridge) group, the first wave of German Expressioism. The works of this movement are characterized by an intensity of emotional and violent imagery not apparent in this particular work by Mueller. The group broke up at the onset of WWI, over artistic differences. It was followed by Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), which was a more positive strain of Expressionism that sought to express spirituality. Our featured work is much more of that ilk.
