    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.

Sunflower - Charles Burchfield - 1915 - Private collection Painting - watercolor - Height: 50.8 cm (20 in.), Width: 35.56 cm (14 in.) (click photo for larger image)Charles Burchfield (1893-1967) was an American painter known initially for his realistic watercolors of the American scene and later for his mystically poetic landscapes. By the mid-1940s, he had abandoned realism, returning to an early interest in personal interpretations of nature. His paintings convey a sense of wonder at the color, movement, and forms of nature, particularly in connection with the seasons.

    Charles Burchfield was an exceptional man with great gift to produce masterful paintings. I interprit this painting as the 'joyful summer', where children enjoy the life with friends. There is a lot to interpret and I appreciate the author for placing this post here.
