 Launching the Newberry Gallery
Michael Newberry
The fuel is...the life-giving fact of experiencing a moment of metaphysical joy—a moment of love for existence. Ayn Rand This May I am launching the Newberry Gallery in Santa Monica, California. It will be the place to show the best of my work and other contemporary representational painters and sculptor... (See the whole comment)

 Woman and a Parrot
Gustave Courbet
Courbet: “ I am fifty years old and I have always lived in freedom; let me end my life free; when I am dead let this be said of me: 'He belonged to no school, to no church, to no institution, to no academy, least of all to any régime except the régime of liberty."

 Winged Beauties
George Pérez
I'm using two beautiful works to start a more general thread about winged humans (or, as in science fiction, humanoids) in art, my own strong passion for nearly 40 years. At left is new art for a comics cover (click for 800-px-wide version). At the end of this comment is a favorite painting by Boris Vallejo. I've long tried to examine... (See the whole comment)

But is it art? The same fight over whether photography is art is happening today in the bonsai world.

 Rose Print
Jeff Larson
Jeff Larson conveys freshness in color, content, and light in his paintings. Here is a link to an online version of my review of him for "The New Individualist." http://www.michaelnewberry.com/av/larson/larson.html After the review has been out for a month or two I post an online version of it. I hope you enjoy it. Michael

 Eventide
Wendy D. Bateman
Wendy D. Bateman has, over the years, created a series of highly detailed, representational, and life-affirming works. This digital painting is inspired by the art of Alphonse Mucha – a prolific painter of 1920s stylized representational art. Particularly remarkable here is the detail on the hair.

Hey All, My review for Peter's sculpture came out last month in the April edition of The New Individualist. After some weeks I can post it to my site, here is the link: http://michaelnewberry.com/av/zara/zara.html The magazine has more images than on my site, and the art director, David Sims, does a super job in the layout. Thi... (See the whole comment)

JMW Turner
An extraordinary JMW Turner exhibition is currently on display at Dallas Museum of Art. The show's next (and last) stop in US will be the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This is probably the most popular special exhibition that I've ever seen in the Dallas area. It is quite overwhelming to have so many Turners all at once. The piece... (See the whole comment)

 Female Beauty
D. (and Leanne) Bell
"Female beauty is an objective phenomenon, a very real part of reality, one which can not only be perceived by all people, but measured as well. [...] "Female beauty is the representation of our values, in a woman. When we see a lady who embodies or appears to embody our values we find her beautiful. For example, if a woman appears to be ha... (See the whole comment)

 207 People "Freeze" in Grand Central Station
Improve Everywhere
It is not really "post modern" but there is no category for "performance art." Objectivism's definition of art "selective recreation of reality" does not allow for experiment. Of course, all of reality is reality, so even Pegasus -- nominally "unreal" must be composed of real parts put together in an unnatural (and impossible) way. So, is a soar... (See the whole comment)

 Ascension Day
Michael Newberry
Michael Newberry's "Ascension Day" is one of my favorite of his non-traditional paintings. I believe that the essence of my enjoyment is the fully worked out form which simultaneously presents both symmetry and asymmetry, beauty and tension, action and self-centeredness. When I visited his studio, Michael and I discussed his axiomatic concep... (See the whole comment)
