“A Refreshing Pause” by Dalhart Windberg (1982).
“A Refreshing Pause” by Dalhart Windberg (1982).
“The basic problem, as I see it, is that we are living in a time utterly devoid of real art. By that I mean art of beauty, subtlety and elevation. Sure, it still exists in museums, but almost nobody alive is now creating it. If they are, nobody cares. What is more, it didn’t just […]

One of the best sculptors in history, Mathurin Moreau (French; 1822-1912). Below: “Libellule” (bronze, 1873).
