Jean (Hans) Arp: 1886 – 1966
Born on September 16, 1886 in Strasbourg (then part of Germany), Jean (Hans) Arp was a pioneer of abstract art and a founding member of the Dada movement. After studying at the Kunstschule, Weimar from 1905 to 1907, Arp attended the Académie Julian in Paris. In 1909, Arp moved to Switzerland where in 1911 he […]
Gabriel Silva: Illustration
Today’s image is by San Paulo, Brazil artist Gabriel Silva. Though the subject is of a mother and child, the illustration reminds me of Klimt’s “The Kiss“. Since the folder where the image is located is titled “Gustav”, I’m guessing that it was the inspiration for this piece. I was unable to find any biographical […]

She shares three stories inspired by portraits, including the one that led to her best-selling novel “Girl With a Pearl Earring.”
John Dahlsen – Eco-Art
I’ve been thinking about eco-art again and am fascinated by artists who can turn trash into treasure. One of the most recognized and awarded of these is Australian artist John Dahlsen. Dahlsen studied art at the Victorian College of the Arts and the Melbourne College of Advanced Education, and for many years made his living […]
