Expressionism In Germany And France: From Van Gogh to Kandinsky

Posted on July 16, 2014July 24, 2019 by Faith Boutin and Murray Rosen

Following on the idiot Van Gogh comes now Gaugin.” Thus wrote an art critic for the magazine Die Kunst-Halle in 1905, not presciently, to say the least. So much for critics!

When your artwork is labeled Erotica that is indeed ironic because ancient civilizations embraced the nude. If we study art history, the depiction of the nude was certainly not foreign to the Egyptians, the Minoans, the Greeks, or the Romans. In the Renaissance, Michelangelo and Da Vinci, among the many, featured…

Ideas Have Consequences: Enlightenment Leads to Freedom

Posted on June 12, 2012July 24, 2019 by Faith Boutin and Murray Rosen

“An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot.” So said American statesman and author Thomas Paine. We celebrate two great revolutions, the American on July 4th and the French on July l4th, both of which Paine supported. Indeed, his writings were an impetus for both revolutions.
