Art Video from the '50s

   I found this really interesting in terms of how the styles of each artist are so different and all taken seriously. Back then in a time where few representational artists were taken seriously animators and illustrators were probably among the few who kept up the practice of skill and representation in art during the height of the modern art movement. Also interesting how all the different styles change together with time.

   Walt Disney began hosting his own television show for ABC in 1954 in an unusual contract: Disney provided ABC with a weekly hour-long television program in exchange for funding for the construction of Disneyland. As a result, the television show was also originally named Disneyland. The anthology series has since gone through a number of name changes over the years: Walt Disney Presents, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, The Wonderful World of Disney, Disney's Wonderful World, Walt Disney, The Disney Sunday Movie, and The Magical World of Disney. The series spanned an incredible 54 years—13 seasons of which were hosted by Walt Disney, himself.

Roger Scruton: 'Faking it' -Real vs. Fake Art

   If you are, like me, strongly on the side for real skillful representational art and are disgusted the falseness of modern art, then you will agree with what Roger Scruton has to say here on the subject. He was a speaker at the recent Representational Art Conference 2014.

   He enlarges on one aspect of the philosophy behind his popular documentary Why Beauty Matters-- a must watch and interesting and relevant to everyone. But the video below is 1.5 hours long.. Really very interesting even if you are not an artist though it is for an audience of painters. I found it incredibly interesting and true just like his audience did!

Much ado about nothing

On June 12 an art exhibition in one of London's top art galleries will open, if you live in the area you can, for eight pounds, go and see...

...Not much...

The show is called Invisible: Art about the Unseen, which explains everything.
