Dr. Seuss's Horse Museum

User Rating: 5 / 5

Star ActiveStar ActiveStar ActiveStar ActiveStar Active
"Dr. Seuss's Horse Museum,"  a manuscript discovered 21 years after the author's death,  is expected to be released this fall. According to the publisher, it follows an "affable horse as he takes a group of students on a guided tour of an art museum." In a press release the publisher added that it will show how everyone sees the world through art differently, adding "there is no one right way to interpret the beauty we encounter every day."
News flash: Be on the lookout for some familiar characters, such as the Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, and the Grinch, to make cameo appearances in this new book.

Did you know  Picasso created more than paintings and drawings? In his later years he discovered ceramics during a trip to Vallauris, France which inspired a whole new chapter in his career
The face of a feminine muse seen above makes many appearances in Picasso's ceramics which captures his second wife, Jacqueline, standing in his studio. The couple married in Vallauris in 1961 and remained together until his death in 1973
The ceramics Picasso produced during this period of time are to be found in some of the most noteworthy private and museum collections around the world. One of the largest museum collections of Picasso ceramics on display anywhere in the world is located at the Park West Museum in  southeastern Michigan
How To Start Collecting Art In Your Twenties

User Rating: 5 / 5

For many in their twenties, art collecting can seem like a far-off pipe dream. But the art market isn't all $450 million Leonardo da Vinci paintings and snooty evening auctions. Many in the industry are taking steps to lower barriers and bring in newer collectors, including young people.

A collection doesn't have to start with a da Vinci. For example, young collectors can support artists who are just getting started themselves. Buying the work of an emerging, or even unknown, artist isn't about bringing home a $450 million trophy for your wall.
So the next time you see a work that you like and it fits your budget, go for it! Owning a unique creation from the hand of an artist is something you'll enjoy for a lifetime.

How does one go about finding their taste in art? The answer will be different for everyone, but here are a few key points to consider:
Be Patient
The first point of departure is knowing yourself. Ask yourself questions such as, Do I want to live with objects that inspire me? That are decorative? Once you get a good understanding, it helps you focus.
Do Your Homework
If you don't yet know which works speak to you - go out and see some art. Visit cultural institutions, museums, galleries and art fairs in your community. Choose particular artists and galleries you like and follow them. The more time you put into it, the more you'll get out of it. The most important thing is to educate yourself first.
Find People You Can Trust
Because collecting isn't something you can do alone, it is crucial that those helping you have your interests at heart. When you ask questions, make sure you are getting an honest answer.
Tastes Change
As you learn more about the arts, your tastes are going to change. That's a good thing. A collection should never be a static thing. The best collections are those that have constantly evolved and been upgraded over time.
