Pop Art by Robert Rauschenberg Celebrates Earth Day
April 5, 2009
As an artist and as a citizen, Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) was deeply concerned with how his art could help change the world for the better. During his lifetime, his artwork addressed issues of environmentalism, war, racial equality, nuclear disarmament, apartheid, economic development, and artists’ rights - an array of big-picture social and political themes that are challenging for artists (or anyone else) to tackle. Rauschenberg was up to this challenge, and this strong and unique global consciousness and ethics set him apart from other artists in the Pop Art movement. Robert... Read more »

Contemporary Art (Graffiti on Canvas) by Jean Michel Basquiat
March 13, 2009
I thought to feast the eye and nourish the soul with some paintings by Jean Michel Basquiat today. It’s Friday after all. I know that Basquiat’s work is not everybody’s cup of tea, but I personally love his work because it is vibrant, articulate, offers social commentary and is overall interesting: there’s stuff to see and learn from every painting. To me, his paintings read like a personal art journal, which displays his cultural history, his heros, his beliefs of social justice, his poetry and overall his personal identity.

Jean-Michel Basquiat Graffiti Painting Live - video
March 12, 2009
Wanna see SAMO / Jean-Michel Basquiat piecing live downtown NYC? This graffiti video clip which dates back to 1981 shows the graffiti artist in action.
