ATM: Art, Tiles, Mosaics... an adventure in creativity: May 2012

Thursday, May 31, 2012. A dream becomes reality - visiting the mosaics at Fishbourne Roman Palace in England - Part One. From the train window on the way to Fishbourne. Possibly Arundel Castle? The train pulled into the station. Fishbourne, West Sussex, England. It was unreal. No, it was real. I was finally going to see FishbourneRoman Palace. Was this the weather the Romans had encountered when they first arrived here in AD 43, or was it cold and rainy and they wished they had stayed home? I passed typi...

Tuesday, October 23, 2012. Taking the bus to Ephesus by way of the Getty Villa. View of the entrance to the Getty Villa. From the bus stop across the street. The building at the top of the hill is a private residence. And has nothing to do with the Getty. It’s no secret that I am a Getty Villa addict. I love going there for any reason. This past Saturday there was a very good reason—a lecture entitled Living in Roman Luxury: Terrace House 2 in Ephesus. Photo: OeAI-Vienna Niki Gail. Of course the main rea...

Tuesday, January 31, 2012. I think it was my friend and fellow artist Susanne Heimbuch. Who commented on one of my previous pieces of ceramic artwork that I was under the influence of Wassily Kandinsky. I happened to come across the above image of one of Kandinsky's paintings. WOW! A circle within a square isn't exactly a new concept and I am sure other artists have and will continue to develop that theme. Eclipses of the Moons. Maybe he actually likes the direction I am taking and is giving me a nudge!

ATM: Art, Tiles, Mosaics... an adventure in creativity: June 2012
http://arttilesmosaics.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 4, 2012. A dream becomes reality - visiting the mosaics at Fishbourne Roman Palace in England - Part Two. My purpose in visiting Fishbourne Roman Palace. Was, of course, to see the mosaics. It is one thing to view mosaics in a museum hanging vertically on a wall, completely out of context (like at the British Museum, for example). But seeing the mosaics in situ,. The way they were originally laid out, is a whole other experience. Mosaic with 3D effect. Excavation of the Palace in the 1960s.

Friday, May 6, 2011. Another trip to LACMA to see the Magna Carta. As I mentioned in my previous blog, when I visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It was written in the Latin script of the Medieval Ages so, unless you are a scholar of such things, it is unfortunately not possible to read it. But just knowing what this 800-year-old piece of paper meant to the feudal barons of the time, and what it now means to us as common citizens, was quite overwhelming. Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon. Consists ...
