...modern science in the throes of discovery? Horst Bredekamp, a professor of art history at Berlin's Humboldt University and author of a new book entitled Galilei der Künstler (Galileo the Artist), says we can. He and other experts in Germany and Italy have concluded that five watercolor sketches of a mustard-colored moon drawn in a printer's proof of Sidereus Nuncius are by Galileo's own hand. The first printing of the legendary treatise included copper engravings of the moon believed to be based on different (now lost) Galileo sketches. But the copy studied by Bredekamp...
...farewell to the series, Deathly Hallows is everything fans of Harry Potter could hope for. It does not reach the lyrical high-watermarks of the series - everyone has their favorites, mine being the final watercolor mourning scenes in Order of the Phoenix, with the mirror, the ghosts and, of course, Luna Lovegood.

From cheeky doodles in pencil and pen and complex geometric shapes on matchbook covers, to black-and-white photographs of abandoned factories and digitally reworked 19th and 20th century nudes, a portrait emerges of a man fascinated by the emotional response to the physical world and the human form. The exhibit seems to have given Lynch a creative jolt as well (not that he needed...
...Homer’s liberation of watercolor from societal constraints triggered an explosion in the use of the medium, one that allowed for “a vast range of expression of artists working with this medium,” said Anderson. “[The Fogg’s] exhibition will explore a little known strength of Harvard’s art museum collection,” said Stebbins...
