The Anonymous Artist Reversing the Order of Abstraction
In an art landscape saturated with gesture, spontaneity, and post-rationalized meaning, a quietly emerging anonymous artist is taking a markedly different approach. His work, rooted in biomorphic abstract expressionism, begins not with form—but with language.

Mona Lisa painting
Few works of art in human history have captured the imagination of the world quite like the Mona Lisa. Painted by the legendary Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci during the height of the Renaissance, this iconic portrait continues to fascinate scholars, artists, and admirers centuries after its creation. Its enduring appeal lies not only in its technical brilliance but also in the mystery and subtlety that surround it, making it one of the most studied and celebrated paintings ever produced.

I have attended another performance at the beautiful Tbilisi Opera and Ballet State Theater. I didn't take a picture before the performance started, but this one was taken during the break between the acts. Gives you an idea of how beautiful and grand the theater is as well.

The Eternal Duel — Baroque vs. Renaissance
ROME — In the hushed silence of San Luigi dei Francesi church, tourists still jostle for position before three canvases that changed Western art forever. They come seeking the *Calling of Saint Matthew*, the masterpiece that Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio completed between 1599 and 1600. What they find is not the ethereal spirituality of the High Renaissance, but something far more disturbing: a divine intervention that looks disturbingly like a shakedown in a backroom gambling den.

Popularity Versus Art and The Shrouds We Cover Them With
The best artists are those who look at things as they are, not as they want them to be. However, sometimes they need to deal with shrouds that obscure judgment. The first type of shroud surrounds popular media, as popularity creates a shroud for the item that is popular, a shroud that both attracts fanaticism (so that anyone criticizing is wrong) and the wrong kind of criticism (if it's popular, well, art can not be popular, and there are those that wish to prove their artistic integrity by bringing down anything popular). The second type of shroud surrounds art, sometimes making something seem more artistic than it really is.
