16.01.2022 To trust the old documents is to trust in the good judgement and the pure motives of seventeenth-century merchants and experts, who do not seem to have been any more reliable than today’s merchants and experts. The scientific data may well be reliable, but it has only little to tell us; and it still needs to be sensitively interpreted. Some scholars may now wish to cast connoisseurship aside, but in the end attributing a painting correctly has to depend on the wise and fair use of our eyes. https://www.spectator.co.uk//science-may-say-this-is-a-car

11.01.2022 ART INSPO AND WISE WORDS FROM PAINTER AND TUTOR - HILMI BASKURT "In this time of crisis and isolation the role of the arts becomes more central to our lives.... Art connects us to the foreign and the exotic, it connects us to a world where everything is possible, through the vast inner space of our thoughts and imagination. As an art teacher and lecturer I am constantly encouraging students to find an artistic voice and identify in this crowded world of images some touchstones to develop their own aesthetic. This vision can move us towards a new understanding about ourselves and the world around us. It is an endless fascination how we can invent worlds by telling stories or painting pictures. That we can change how people think simply by making something up, and how we can move people by showing them a fragment of our thoughts, put in to narrative or enclosed in to music or paint. We need to be creative more so then ever before to get away from the crisis, from the scary thoughts, and look at pictures, photos and stories that can take our imagination away to another place. We need to stay aware of the beauty of our world, stay active, hone our skills, keep our minds occupied and get ideas and stories out of our heads on to paper or canvas. It’s what connects us with each other, even if we can’t connect directly right now. Art is an integral part of our lives, something to hold on to, often in the form of spending time with a book, movie or a piece of music, or actually doing something creative: painting, singing or writing. Making art is not just a passing time while we wait for the catastrophe to happen or end, it gives us meaning and connection, like the little junction that keeps cells interlinked, it can bind the different parts of our lives, our thoughts and our communities together." Stay safe. Stay creative. Hilmi

10.01.2022 "A work of art is itself an object, first of all, and so manipulation is unavoidable: it's a prerequisite. But I needed the greater objectivity of the photograph in order to correct my own way of seeing: for instance, if I draw an object from nature, I start to stylize and to change it in accordance with my personal vision and my training. But if I paint from a photograph, I can forget all the criteria that I get from these sources. I can paint against my will, as it were. And that, to me, felt like an enrichment". Gerhard Richter...
