...formed from discarded spectacles, each pair of which Swaffield first tried on to check the refractive qualities. ("I got conjunctivitis making it," he says.) Another work, called Solewave?a collage of 350 ocean-bleached flip-flops plucked from various Sri Lankan beaches?recalls the swirling intensity of a Van Gogh...
...largest university art museum holdings in the country—kicked off in Lyon, France last weekend. The show, “A Private Passion,” includes more than 200 paintings, drawings and sculptures by many notable artists, including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Vincent van Gogh...
Certainly that was the case when the two men first met in Paris around 1905. Henri Matisse was then leader of the Fauves--the wild beasts--whose abruptly brushed, feverishly colored canvases had taken the lessons of Van Gogh and Gauguin to the inevitable far reaches.

Each cover is also an homage to a different artist both high (Vincent van Gogh) and low (Frank Frazetta). On top of these pencils Mick Gray's expert inks move from dramatically heavy, but never muddy, to delicately ethereal, as the scene requires. The coloring, by Jeromy Cox, likewise has issue-length themes, from aquatic tones to grey wash to red and ultimately heavenly white...
