Living 400 years ago in the time of the counter reformation; in the time of Shakespeare; Caravaggio staged scenes with lighting that inspires modern film directors. Having lived with high quality images and movies; it is difficult for us to conceive the effect his realism had in its days. Every one of his works raised a scandal; and each one haunts us with intrigue even today.

Kirlian photography (discovered in 1939 by Semyon Kirlian) captures the "aura" surrounding objects that have been subjected to a strong electric pulse and, like the sensational possibilities of such photography (purported to be capturing the soul or astral body of the object)

A Flickr photostream by someone who has a very wide-ranging, obscure and tantalizing taste in art/artifacts. Much of the content is photos of old prints from books. The biggest problem is that there isn't much information on the provenance of most of the objects in addition to other details.

about illoz

illoz is a portfolio site for Illustrators that doubles as a very useful workspace for art directors. It's an experiment, of sorts. The idea is to establish a new and better way for art directors to find and interact with Illustrators. The program was created by two guys with an idea, the same two odd-balls that brought Drawger to life. More about illoz and why it's here.

illoz is an invitation only portfolio site for Illustrators. It's not for everyone and not everyone who wants a portfolio site here will be able to get one. Numbers are limited to keep the quality high. The cost is 150 American dollars per year and it's free to test drive for 60 days. You can find out more about what illoz offers and send in a request for an illoz Portfolio site right here.

The image on the left is entitled Nighthawks, which gave me a very strong impression the first time I saw it on a wordpress blog last week and fortunately I saw it again yesterday in a bookstore. Do you see how sharp the light and the building are? and are you just like me, feeling your heart beat faster and faster by the empty but disturbing atmosphere in the painting. If your anwers can't be more positive, it's about time for you to meet another master like Edward Hopper who can teach you some lessons you can't learn from anyone else.

Jeremy McCarter reviews Denis Dutton's book "The Art Instinct". Interesting review of a naturalistic viewpoint on the origins of art.

That's a great article - I'll be looking for that book. The only thing I question is the universal issue. Most people (IMHO) not in the arts seem to have a distrust of it - you know - this idea that it's all chicanery unless they are looking at a near duplicate of consensus reality. So - how does that work into the evolutionary idea - that sense of distrust and even disdain? Is there an anti-art gene?

Drawings, prints, literature - it's all here. Very difficult to categorize, but there is a lot of stuff here. The blog is no longer active but is still online for the moment. If this is your kind of stuff, download the whole site and archive it somewhere. Most of the reproductions are hi-res.
