Your Favorite Scifi Films As Russian Woodcuts

As Chancellor Gorkon from Star Trek VI would say, "You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon." We'd reply by telling him that unless he'd seen Star Wars in the original Russian folk art version, he was a pansy. Russian artist Andrey Kuznetsov has created some pretty impressive versions of films like The Matrix, The Terminator (or maybe that's T2: Judgement Day), Star Wars, Spider-Man, War of the Worlds, and others using the traditional style of Russian folk art. We've been able to decipher most of them from the original page, but we can't figure out for the life of us what this piece is supposed to represent with the guy using a computer and sticking a knife (or is that a USB drive?) in his butt. War Games: The Porno? Let us know what you think it is in the comments, after you check out the gallery below.

Pimp My Rice Paddy

Each year, farmers in the town of Inakadate in Aomori prefecture create works of crop art by growing a little purple and yellow-leafed kodaimai rice along with their local green-leafed tsugaru-roman variety. This year’s creation — a pair of grassy reproductions of famous woodblock prints from Hokusai’s 36 Views of Mount Fuji — has begun to appear (above). It will be visible until the rice is harvested in September.

The residents of Inakadate have been drawing pictures with rice since 1993. Here are a few crops from the recent past, found at this site.

While Inakadate is Japan’s most famous rice paddy decorating town, a couple of other places in Japan have joined in the fun.

A Brief History of Human Pixel Photography

Group Art during the days of early photography

Arthur Mole (1889-1983) together with John Thomas used their 11 x 14-inch view camera to create the so-called "living photographs", done on a monumental scale.

"The Human American Eagle, 1918"

Other Connoisseurs of Early Group Photography

One of the most notable photographers of "living people groups" was Eugene Omar Goldbeck.

Living Masses of People as Totalitarian Art

You know of course about Nazi Torchlight Parades (documented during many Nazi Party Rallies in Nuremberg):

Closer to our times: North Korean Parades

Totalitarian Esthetics at their "worst"...
Their own version of torchlight parades:

Finally, a slightly shocking but fresh approach

Spencer Tunick makes his artistic formations from thousands of NAKED people. His works convey entirely different sensibilities than the usual group photography.

Themes in German Expressionist Prints

his site is The Museum of Modern Art’s first, exclusively created “virtual” exhibition and showcases its unparalleled collection of German Expressionist prints and illustrated books. The Brücke group, formed in 1905 in Dresden by four revolutionary architectural students including Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Erich Heckel, strove to achieve a new synthesis between art and life, bringing meaning back to what they considered the superficial bourgeois existence of German life under Kaiser Wilhelm II. They organized exhibitions and publicized their own work by issuing annual portfolios of prints. Printmaking, and the woodcut in particular, became one of their most important modes of expression. This site presents more than 110 prints arranged into thematic groupings that highlight the issues and motifs central to this seminal movement in the history of modern prints.

Theo Jansen's Kinetic Sculptures: Strandbeest

Theo Jansen's Kinetic Sculptures

Since about ten years he is occupied with the making of a new nature. Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature. He makes skeletons which are able to walk on the wind. Eventually he wants to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives...

Jansen says "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds."

I think this is the real worth of street art: not as defacement, but as tattoos on the concrete skeleton of civilization's urban decay. Beautiful.

Images of Labor in Art--Free online course

Clip Source: www.nlc.edu

Images of Labor In Art is a short self directed course designed to give perspective students an opportunity to experience online learning. The five short lessons focus primarily on artworks and movements of 20th century America. It begins with a discussion of Labor Art and its meaning within context for which it was created. An overview of selected art movements and styles has been included in order to enhance students’ ability to recognize significant themes and vocabulary common to critical discourse in the art world. We hope that students will come to view the arts as yet another form of activism that can “carry the message” to union members as well as to the broader public.

Each module should take approximately 45 minutes to complete. At the end of each module there is a short quiz (optional).

By the completion of this course, participants should be able to:

Discuss the meaning of Labor Art.

Identify selected artistic movements and styles as well as significant themes and vocabulary common to critical discourse in the art world.

Discuss the social significance of the artwork of Ashcan School, the New Deal and the American Mural Movement.

Identify significant contemporary Labor Artists, movements and styles.

Identify and discuss the many ways in which artists and workers have come together throughout history to further the cause of the labor movement.

A unique and fascinating painting style evolved through many years of hard work and dedication. No other paintings similar to this anywhere in the world, this style of textured painting is truly unique to Keith Athay. A great opportunity to purchase a future classic of contemporary art.

Lovingly hand painted original in acrylics on a textured canvas. A fantastic eye catching painting that will transform your room.
