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 »
Francis Bacon Painting Sale
March 22, 2009
Did you read CBC News today? Things like this just makes me sad. A painting by Francis Bacon or any other artist of $40 million is only worth $40 million if someone is willing to pay $40 million. Such is the nature of an art auction. It would seem reasonable for Christie to offer to keep its commitment by simply offer to re-auction the ‘Study For a Self Portrait’, 1964, till the painting sells at that price. But the actual sale of this Francis Bacon painting for that price might be a decade away. As Bacon’s self portraits are widely regarded as some of his most important works... 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.
