Hi. Thanks for sharing your book recommendations about art! I am just beginning to educate myself about modern art and I've enjoyed reading this book, for beginners.
It's very engaging and approachable. Curious if you know it. Maybe some of your other followers who aren't quite as experienced as yourself would also find this interesting and a good place to start. Thanks for your insightful posts. Your dedication to what you do is inspiring. -TL
wow - that is quite a post! I will have to set this aside for further reading later on!
First image in your post that pops up is Botticelli's Venus - coincidence with my latest post that you commented on?

What an inspirational post and I agree with you on the importance of public libraries. Sadly stories like yours don't often reach the ears of the funding bodies and they are all too often one of the easiest savings to make in public spending cuts.
I forgot to add the moral of the story for artists looking for their patron: follow your intuition and don't be afraid to make connections, especially with those you aren't expecting anything from.
It took me ten years to find this kind of support, and it came when I least expected it. The best way to find support isn't by sticking your work in everyone's faces, but to continue developing your creative vision, and to continue creating better and better artwork.
I never went to an art school; I'm a community college student. Everything I learned was out of pure interest and ambition alone! It's not about asking whether or not you can, it's about asking yourself if you want to, and if you want to, then just do it!

Thank you, Otto! Definite coincidence. Your work is beautiful.

It's sad that this is true, and often the case because the impact libraries have aren't always immediately apparent.
Freaking bookmarking this post.

The one on visual intelligence is very interesting!
Such a high brow list of books! I cannot climb to such height! But it’s very challenging
