Art Oracles

Personally, I do not practice divination beyond having had my Tarot cards read a couple of times, but this is something very cool, especially if your life heavily revolves around ART like mine does.  The Art Oracles is a deck of fifty cards featuring fifty different artists.  Each card has a wonderfully charming illustration of […]

My Covid Classics – #10

My last online event of 2020 was a special presentation on the art and life of Marc Chagall.  Chagall was my first art historical love when I was just a baby art historian.  Now his work seems more important and more necessary than ever.

Banksy Works from Home

On April 15th, Banksy posted a few interesting images to his Instagram account.  These images weren’t of little girls losing heart-shaped balloons or of bandana-wearing protesters hurling flower bouquets.  These images were of stenciled rats wreaking havoc on what appeared to be someone’s home bathroom. Regardless of whether or not you are a fan, most […]
