It’s been pouring for two days straight in Tokyo and it looks like the rainy season in Japan may have started early. With that in mind, here is Marc Chagall’s “Rain” (La Pluie – 1911) – oil and charcoal on canvas, 34 1/8 x 42 1/2 inches (86.7 x 108 cm).
Rain - Marc Chagall
I feel very fortunate to live during a time where access to information to just about anything is available with the click of a mouse. I have been traveling around the world the last few years and have seen many great works of art. A big chunk of my time these days though is dedicated to learning the history of the works I’ve seen and also to discovering what is going on in the art world today. To do this, I turn to the vast amount of quality information that’s out there on the web.
Recently I discovered a great monthly art series from Tate Online called “TateShots”. TateShots presents a selection of short videos highlighting activities going on at the four Tate locations. The videos include artist interviews, conversations with art experts, artist performances, and behind the scenes with artists and curators.
You can access TateShots on their website (watch live or download), via RSS, or on iTunes. Enjoy!
