 Wanderer Above the Sea of FogCaspar David Friedrich This is the one painting I have seen that most clearly and powerfully expresses the noble view of man, such as that in the works of Ayn Rand. To best appreciate Friedrich's "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog," I suggest you contemplate it while listening to Ludwig van's Glorious Ninth - the second or fourth movement, your choice.

 Mini-Tutorial: RhythmNewberry Any complex subject is visually chaotic; with incongruent shapes and millions of details. One of the fun and great challenges for an artist is to organize this visual information in a meaningful way; to compose it. I would like to discuss one element of composition: rhythm... ...

 After the HauntA. Robert Malcom While this was done initially as a study of doing a straw broom, it quickly became, as so often it does to me, a themed work, this time being a gentle parody of William Harnett's famous paintings [he did two versions] "After the Hunt" and, since was doing a broom, decided to double play on the idea of witches - both the whisking and the post-Hallow...

 Ascension DayMichael 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)

 207 People "Freeze" in Grand Central StationImprove 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)

 Schipperheyn's Thus Spoke ZarathustraPeter Schipperheyn 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)

 The Role of GovernmentHarry Roolaart Harry Roolaart is a fotografic artist who wishes to convey principles of Objectivism and patriotism through his works.

 Sleeping Giant AwakensHarry Roolaart This is a proud statement of defiance in response to the September 11th tragedy. Amid the desolate rubble of the World Trade Center, which should have, in the terrorists' designs, brought about despair and hopelessness, stands a solitary fireman, with his hands proudly on his hips, determined to dispose of the mess and regain mastery of the situati...

 TravelersQuent Cordair A couple stands atop a balcony in a seaside town with an architectural flair quite unlike anything encountered in traditional "exotic cultures." The purity of the white structures is enhanced by the geometric elegance of their design and the vibrant blue domes on top. The man and woman, in an embrace of devotion, stare out into the setting sun, tru... (See the whole comment)

 An Awakening MindDamon-Armand Heslington Denys A firm young woman reclines on a hillside with a book in hand. With determined and focused eyes, she surveys the scenery around her, likely taking a moment to deliberate over the contents of what she has read (as she has her fingers in the pages of the book, intending to return shortly to the undertaking). She is alone with her thoughts and elevate... (See the whole comment)

 Picnic Island, CloudsNewberry Between hurricanes, Kant, and the anniversary of 9/11 I was in a terrible mood. This 9/11 turned out to be a beautiful day and more in keeping with my spirit I went outside to draw landscapes. You can find the other three at www.RomanticRealism.net, the info marked in blue are the recent updates. Michael (See the whole comment)

 NighthawksEdward Hopper There's just something about this man's paintings that just resonates with me. Many times I am alone, but not lonely. I could be in a group for a while and realize that I haven't spoken to anyone at all - that I'm observing them, not with them. Sometimes I'm 'awakened' from this reverie-like state with the question, "Why are you sad"? To which I'll... (See the whole comment)
