    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.

Fauvism at its Finest

DateMonday, June 16, 2014 at 11:11AM

Emile-Othon Friesz - Private collection - circa 1900 - Height: 35 cm (13.78 in.), Width: 26.8 cm (10.55 in.) - oil on panel (click photo for larger image)French artist Emile-Othon Friesz ( 1879-1949) was a Fauve painter born in Le Havre, the son of a long line of shipbuilders and sea captains. He went to school in his native city—where he met his lifelong friend, Raoul Dufy, featured in this work. Dufy was also a Fauvist. “Fauvism was the first of the avant-garde movements that flourished in France in the early years of the twentieth century. The Fauve painters were the first to break with Impressionism as well as with older, traditional methods of perception. Their spontaneous, often subjective response to nature was expressed in bold, undisguised brushstrokes and high-keyed, vibrant colors directly from the tube.” Metropolitan Museum of Art.
