jevin In Malay language which I don't understand either, but the still lifes -- the colors, the settings, the textures, the atmosphere ... everything is unusual and interesting. I enjoyed this very much although I don't understand a word he's saying.

jevin Jacek Yerka (born 1952) is a Polish artist who paints amazingly imaginative and enchanting surrealist pictures, full of atmosphere. They're fascinating, unique, and beautiful. If I had dreams like these pictures, I wouldn't want to wake up.

jevin Animated by Aardman. I don't know why the title is Creature Comforts, but I just thought this was very funny. Real, ordinary people were recorded as they mused about art, but you see animated characters speaking with their voices.

jevin Turner's main subjects were landscapes and seascapes. He painted historical scenes in order to incorporate these subjects. He became known for a style which incorporated an atmosphere of mist and light. In 1834 he made sketches while the Houses of Parliament were burning and made paintings in his studio based on these sketches. These paintings beautifully showed the effects of fire, light, and water.

jevin The rise of modern western individualism from the 13th-14th centuries was partly shaped by glass mirrors made in Venice. Science and art were also profoundly affected by these mirrors. Here all this is discussed while a glassmaker makes a glass mirror using the same method that was used when they were first made in Venice.

jevin Although other civilizations had mirrors made of bronze or other metals (or people simply looked in water to see themselves), they did not show the clear and "realistic" view you see in fine glass mirrors, which were originally made in Venice, where the Renaissance began. These mirrors certainly played a big role in changing the world of science and art. This tells how the use of mirrors led to a new look of realism in painting, which you see suddenly flowering in Renaissance art at that time.

jevin An artist called Moose makes a 140 ft. mural (with help) in a San Francisco tunnel by cleaning instead of painting. He saw what impact a clean spot on a dirty wall could have while working as a dishwasher in a restaurant when he tried to wipe clean a spot on the wall but ended up having to clean the whole (dirty) wall.

jevin Pierre Bonnard was a member of Les Nabis (a group which included Edouard Vuillard and Maurice Denis) in the late 1800s in France. His works are colorful and full of life, even though "rough" and "unrealistic." This video shows many of his works - No commentary, just music.
