Photographer Profile ~ Brassaï Brassaï was the pseudonym of Gyula Halász (1899-1984), a Parisian photographer considered by all as one of the great photographers of the 20th century. Brassai took his name from the town of his birth, Brasso, in Transylvania, then part of Hungary, later of Roumania, and famous as the home of Count Dracula. He studied art at the academies of Budapest and Berlin before coming to Paris in the mid-twenties. He was completely disinterested in photography, if not scornful of it, until he saw the work being done by his acquaintance André Kertész, which inspired him to take up the medium himself. Making photographs in the dark bistros and darker streets presented a difficult technical problem. Brassaï's photographs brought him international fame leading to a one-man show in the United States at the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, the Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois, and at New York City's Museum of Modern Art.

SPACE PHOTOS THIS WEEK: Star Birth, Active Sun, More Image courtesy Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, California Institute of Technology December 23, 2009-- Four pictures of the Rho Ophiuchi star-forming region illustrate the "evolution" of infrared astronomy over the past quarter century . Each image, seen above in chronological order, was made by a past or present infrared observatory run with U.S. participation: the InfraRed Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS), and the Spitzer Space Telescope. Infrared light is invisible to human eyes, so the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center assigned false colors to all four images to help astronomers visualize how stars are born in Rho Ophiuchi. Different colors represent the temperature and composition of dust, as well as the ages of the hundreds of stars forming in the dense molecular cloud.
Spectacular Moleskine Doodles Explode with Energy Philippines-based illustrator Kerby Rosanes proves that doodling can be so much more than scratching unintelligible scribbles on paper. Through his Sketchy Stories blog, Rosanes shares his wonderful world of doodling in a simple Moleskine sketchbook. Equipped with an ordinary Moleskine, a few Uni Pin drawing pens, and his innate gift for drawing, the artist is able to transport viewers to a world where tiny, cartoonish creatures explode with gusto to make up larger entities. Each of the illustrator's complex and crowded sketches are filled with minute details that allow the eye to wander and discover new characters and designs at every turn.

Hungarian artist creates impossible-looking sculptures from pencils An artist’s eye always sees things, as humble as a pencil, in a much different way than the others. While pencil is a mere writing and drawing instrument for most of us, artists such as Dalton Ghetti use them to create wonderful pieces of complex art for the rest of us to admire. Another artist, specializing in miniature artworks, is a Budapest-based artist and sculptor known by the name of Cerkahegyzo. The sculptor, whose tools are nothing more than small carving tools, fine blades, needles, sandpaper and files, uses the wood and lead of a pencil as the base and body of the sculptures.
Draw Something: Doodles That Go to Extremes [PICS] I have never been much of an artist. Ask me to draw a cat and you may end up with a picture of a horse that looks like it is high on something. I’ve since left my artistic side to wither in a corner so it can die a lonely, peaceful death. Branded as the fastest growing social drawing and guessing game, Draw Something (also known as Draw My Thing n some platforms) pits your drawing skills against your game partner’s ability to guess your scribbles and doodles. If you think that these 25 "Draw Something" artworks are anything less than masterpieces, go download the game from their Facebook page, have a run or two at the game, then come back and appreciate them a second time.
