Thanks for sharing this piece LACMA. I am the musical composer for this piece. You spelled my name wrong on here and I did not co-compose the music with Desiree. If you could please fix the credit to ‘Original Music by Avila Santo’ it would be much appreciated.
Powerful, Beautiful, and fully inspirational. What an amazing man, artist, and motivator, I am deeply moved. This video was awesome and so creatively made giving us a taste of the inside, down to earth Charles White, infinite Thank you's
Not sure that Zeng Fanzhi's work has an intensity of color that surpasses any artist in history is a hyperbolic statement for sure .An interesting exhibition it may but this marketing is definitely is valued here over scholarship .
relax CEO, you dont talk to people who dont know about the art. This is some kind pointillism with just a bigger dots man or with the palette knife. Nothing special. Every students in the schools they do things like that, you dont discover America. Jesus, what an exaggeration!
The twin brother of John Wayne. One problem, which he never talks about, is that art has become a secular religion, and is presented that way by the art establishment, in order to sell tickets.
This is a great video. And I am very thankful for the effort that the conservator took in showing how to clean that beautiful engraving. One question, however, remains in my view. What would be the best way for drying the sheet? It should probably dry slowly. On what kind of material should it lay for drying, may be linnen? Should it be pressed in that process?
I'd like to know that too. Laying on a horizontal piece of stretched (framed) linen canvas is the way to go, but I've only seen it when the poster is glued to it so I don't know how easily peeled off the linen might be after drying. As for pressing, careful draping and gravity will do most of the work, but I'd probably put an acetate sheet over it and use a roller to make sure any kinks are ironed out. I'm told a standard movie poster will dry in 24-48 hours. You can see in the video that the bottom is wavy but like you say it feels like that's not the "walk away" stage of the process.
Quite interesting to see some samples of ancient ceramics from what is now Colombia, with most focus on pre-contact art from that area falling on gold objects.
