Even though I do not agree with Collin when he talks about Turner; I believe Constable’s work was much more “British-like,” at that time, than Tuner’s, perhaps that was the reason it took him so long to get accepted into the academy; he was giving them what they already have seen, just in an “unfinished” version. – (and when I say that I do not want to diminish his work in any way, just trying to describe what may have been the academy’s view on it) – But I do enjoy many of the points Mr.Wiggins brings up in the video, it helped me to understand and appreciate Constable’s artwork even more. Hope you guys enjoy it as well!

Met’s New Admission Fee

For the first time in half a century, visitors to the world’s largest cultural institution, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will have to pay a mandatory admission fee of $25 if they do not live in New York State under a new policy that begins March 1, the museum announced on Thursday. (New York Times reported)

Daniel H. Weiss, Met’s new CEO, says in this interview that the “increase” of Met’s entry fees is due to the decrease of contributors and the failure of “pay-as-you-wish” policy:  Met Museum President Daniel Weiss Answers Questions About the New Admissions Policy

Even though I like the novelty of this honorable policy, I do not think it is very practical nowadays, specially for the arts and cultural institutions; which might differ in the next 10 to 15 years.  I also suspect that the questionable financial management of the last few years also influenced his decision.  Let’s hope this change can come as a big help for our so loved national treasure museum.

New Paintings by Raphael

Conservators cleaning frescoes in the Room of Constantine at the Vatican have discovered that two of the figures were painted by Raphael himself, not his students as was previously believed. The breakthrough came when it was found that two of the figures in the fresco were painted in oil, not the usual paint in wet plaster technique.

Getty’s IIIF

The Getty museum has uploaded 30,000 high  digital images onto it’s site for use with ‘IIIF’, which is pronounced ‘triple eye eff’, and stands for International Image Interoperability Framework. It is very handy for art lovers because it allows you to compare on a single screen digital images of works from musems around the world. The video above gives you a demonstration, and you can read more about it here.

Art and Transformers

Transformers movie ad committee  had come up with a very clever ad to promote its new movie, they  inserted a Transformer figure into a painting at Dulwich Picture Gallery, and filmed the reactions of the visitors. It was just a copy of the original painting, but it was well executed.  I like the idea of surprising visitors, and prompting them to look closer at pictures, making them curious, involved and asking questions about the work.

I really believe in order to make museums more popular we need to make them appealing to the new generation, and combining their passion with art is one of the ways it can be done. Good job Paramount films!
