136 Paintings by Gustav Klimt Now Online (Including 63 Paintings in an Immersive Augmented Reality Gallery) At the end of World War II the Nazis burned an Austrian castle full of masterpieces, including three paintings by Gustav Klimt entitled Philosophy, Medicine, and Jurisprudence.
Called the “Faculty Paintings,” these were commissioned by the University of Vienna for the ceiling of its Great Hall in 1900, then, upon completion seven years later, were deemed pornographic and never exhibited. Until now, they were preserved for posterity only in black and white photographs. Riposte — Boris Taslitzky. Blast Furnaces — Elsie Driggs.

Artist Jen Orpin depicts dream-like empty roads and motorway bridges in her new painting series, which explores the ideas of memories and landmarks and is on show at Manchester’s The Modernist gallery.
Orpin’s luminous paintings feature the monumental postwar infrastructure that lies on Britain’s arterial routes. These often-overlooked concrete structures sit between big skies and long tarmac roads and are part of a landscape in motion, appearing like they are about to vanish into the distance. ‘Forton Services’ by (c) Jen Orpin Orpin decided to paint these streamlined landmarks because they sparked memories of journeys she undertook after her late father suffered from a stroke in September 2015.

How Edward Hopper's Paintings Inspired the Creepy Suspense of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. Certain directors like to implicate their audience in their onscreen crimes, drawing on decades of expectations created by popular cinematic tropes and playing with the viewer’s innate desires.
Filmmaker Michael Haneke takes a Hitchcockian approach in this regard, in nightmarish visions like Benny’s Video, The Piano Player, and Caché. “Haneke uses voyeurism to dismantle the space between the film and audience,” writes Popmatters,” and in doing so, he takes advantage of what might be thought of as Hitchcock’s voyeur apparatus and forces the audience to question its place within the narrative.”

However, the current coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent closure of cultural institutions means this project has had to be postponed.

Courtesy of Christie's When Hollywood superstars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced their divorce in 2016, jaws dropped all over the world as curious spectators contemplated the inevitable division of assets: which luminary would claim which villa, and what would happen to the famous couple’s considerable art collection? According to a new report, next month, Angelina Jolie is angling to auction off a canvas in her possession that was painted by Winston Churchill; this sale is set to take place via Christie’s Auction House in London. According to the Associated Press, the painting is entitled Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque, and it’s expected to sell for between $2.1 million to $3.4 million.
According to Christie’s, this painting is the sole work created by Churchill during the Second World War, and it was completed after the conclusion of the Casablanca Conference in January 1943.

Painting “the Eternity of Time” “To make oil paint work on canvas the way ink works on paper.”
This is the artistic endeavor of the Chinese painter Tu Hongtao, who recently had his first European exhibition at Levy Gorvy in London (Tu Hongtao: Twisting and Turning, October 2–November 24, 2020). Such an attempt to bridge Eastern and Western painting traditions has informed works by Chinese painters since the start of the 20th century, during the Republican Era, accelerating debates over “traditional” culture and “Westernization.” At the same time, many Chinese painters who sought education in France were exposed to Impressionism, Cubism, and Art Informel, which led to various experiments combining European oil painting techniques and traditional Chinese ink painting upon their return to their homeland.
This trajectory came to a halt in 2008, as Tu retreated from the metropolis to his studio in rural Chengdu, from the center of activity to its periphery.

The Modern Institute, 3 Aird's Lane, Glasgow ‘Pearl Lines’ marks the third solo exhibition of New York-based artist Walter Price at The Modern Institute.
Price presents a series of paintings spanning the last three years in the Aird’s Lane gallery, alongside new drawings positioned in the adjacent Bricks Space. Walter Price’s paintings offer visions that straddle abstraction and representation, combining suggestions of personal memories, collective history and cultural ciphers within his constructions. Extraordinarily apt at placing the viewer, Price’s compositions invoke the feeling of peering into lucid dreams or surreal stage sets, bringing forth an awareness of looking at a familiar setting but from an unusual and disjointed view, as if a wall were removed to allow quiet observation from a specific perspective. The rich mercurial colours awash in Price’s paintings denote both atmosphere and the fractured spaces within the setting. Walter Price (b. Olivia Sterling paints nostalgia-filled pieces to deconstruct complex issues of othering.
A painter originally from the English town of Peterborough, Olivia Sterling’s works speak directly and poignantly to Britishness. Zooming in on references that display domestic scenes in reaction to the quiet countryside she grew up in, across her paintings viewers can expect to see references to Brownies and Rainbows through to party food, notably “scotch eggs, store-bought packs of cakes with cheap icing, panda pops, pink panthers and cocktail sausages”. Stylistically Olivia merges these references in a practice she brilliantly describes as “sugary”. Cézanne’s Hard Truths. If nothing else, the COVID-19 crisis has encouraged introspection.

Waller’s latest work was titled Hell is Empty and featured gruesome, powerful, and bitingly satiric paintings of the Trump family and their associates.
The title Hell is Empty comes from William Shakespeare’s play The Tempest, when the spirit Ariel recounts the events of those shipwrecked on Prospero’s island: ...All but mariners Plunged in the foaming brine and quit the vessel, Then all afire with me.

The Cruise — Mary Adshead. The Massacre of the Innocents — Mitchell Villa. World’s oldest hunting scene shows half-human, half-animal figures—and a sophisticated imagination. Some 44,000 years ago, an artist climbed high onto a cave ledge on an Indonesian island, paintbrush in hand. Perhaps inspired by spiritual visions, the artist sketched a dynamic scene featuring tiny, animal-headed hunters armed with spears cornering formidable wild hogs and small buffaloes. In a new study, researchers argue that the scene's visionary storytelling—which they claim represents the oldest known figurative art made by modern humans—shows that people already had imaginations much like our own at the time of the cave painting, and likely much earlier.
