Nice. I can't wait to see how she explains Maurizio Cattelan's sculpture La Nona Ora .

This is great! Designed for people like me--it's "Art for Dummies."

Nice, but lessons are a little brief, and choices of artwork are very mainstream and traditional. I guess this is geared a bit toward people who are new to the art world.

So many music bloggers are obsessive in their quest for digging up all sorts of juicy facts about the artists they discuss, and they usually go on all sorts of interesting tangents of historical gossip. I'd like to see something more along those lines for an art blog too.. But maybe this is too much to ask, because I know a lot of that obsessive drive comes with building the music lover's private collection; most of us can't afford private art collections :(

This is great: I too have been in need of an "Art for Dummies" type of site to keep me in the know about these things, since my GF is a painter studying art history.

Best of web to be sure. Thanks.

I agree with p3t3...

The blurbs are way too short, and don't really do much more than say: "Here's the work by so-and-so, and here's an interesting fact about them".

Needs a bit more depth, IMHO

Nice start, I would like to see more diversity in the works discussed. I agree with p3t3, the choices are very mainstream. Here's hoping to seeing more variety, great idea though.

Some of you guys should help the person who created this site; it's a great idea and with a few collaborators with some free time, it could be a lot more encompassing of less known art. I liked it.

the absolute best art blog ever

good, but needs more links for further investigation (even if it's just to more works by the same artist)

and what Satapher said--Giornale Nuovo is consistently outstanding.
