Police arrested a pair of German protesters who, in a bid to bring attention to the perils of climate change, threw mashed potatoes at a Claude Monet painting that once sold for more than $110 million. That painting was also behind protective glass and unharmed in the incident, according to the museum. And all you are afraid of is tomato soup or mashed potatoes on a painting," one of the protesters says, according to an English subtitled version of the video. "This painting is not going to be worth anything if we have to fight over food," the protester adds. Born in 1840, Monet was the leading French Impressionist landscape painter, according to the National Gallery.

SÃO PAULO, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Brazilian lender C6 Bank is set to open its first five brick-and-mortar branches in the country in the next few weeks, an executive has revealed, enhancing the competition between the JPMorgan-backed digital bank and large retail lenders for high income clients in Latin America's largest economy. Similar units in Brazilian large cap lenders include Banco Bradesco SA's Prime (BBDC4.SA) and Banco Santander Brasil SA's Van Gogh . With the physical branches initiative, C6 aims to increase its share in the high income market, which it expects to cover some 5 million people in the country. In 2021, the purchase of a 40% stake in C6 marked JPMorgan Chase & Co's (JPM.N) debut in Brazil's retail banking. C6 was founded by former partners at Banco BTG Pactual SA , Latin America's largest independent investment bank.

☆ Artists say AI image generators are copying their style to make thousands of new images — and it's completely out of their control

"My name is being used a lot to generate AI images, along with the names of other working artists." "So if an AI is copying an artist's style and a company can just get an image generated that's similar to a popular artist's style without actually going to artists to pay them for that work, that could become an issue." Representatives from Open AI said both publicly available sources and images licensed by the company make up DALL-E's training data. Copyright laws around AI images are murkyIt's unclear whether copyright laws will protect the new artwork that AI programs generate. "I have friends in the industry who will storm out of the room if I even bring up using AI," he said.

☆ ‘Van Gogh in America’ Review: Tracking an Acquired Taste

DetroitVincent van Gogh (1853-1890) had been dead for 32 years before any American museum bought a painting by him. While he was famously (if exaggeratedly) unsuccessful in life, by then Europe had long since embraced him. Yet at the landmark 1913 Armory Show in New York— Van Gogh ’s public debut here, with at least 21 paintings on view—nothing of his sold, and one critic wrote that Van Gogh had “little if any sense of beauty and spoiled a lot of canvas with crude, quite unimportant pictures.” In 1920, when New York’s Montross Gallery gave him a retrospective, only three of 67 pictures sold, all to one collector. And when in 1921 the Metropolitan Museum of Art presented “A Loan Exhibition of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist Paintings,” including seven Van Gogh loans, it was condemned by many as degenerate art.

De la umilul dormitor al lui Van Gogh din Camera din Arles, din 1888, până la pictura lui Roy Lichtenstein, cu picturi odihnitoare din 1991, fiecare operă de artă oferă pasionaților de artă sau de design interior o idee despre tendințele de decorare ale perioadei respective. O agenția de creație din Marea Britanie a expus aceste interioare din picturi, ca și cum ar fi camere din viața reală. Cele șase camere prezentate din colecție dau viață picturilor celebre din ultimii două sute de ani, prin tehnologia CG. Pentru a crea interpretări realiste, echipa a colaborat cu cercetătorul specialist Charlie Ashton, editorul general Jonathan Addy, artistul și designerul interior CG Andrey Barinov și directorul de artă Povilas Daknys, menționează Homeadvisor. # „Camera din Arles”, Vincent van Gogh# „The Sun shine on the Corner”, Grant Wood# „My dining room”, Wassily Kandinsky# „Kitchen”, Konstantin Korovin# „Living room”, Roy Lichtenstein# „Empress Alexandra Feodorovna’s Sitting Room”, Eduard Petrovich Hau

Ce semnifică Google Doodle-ul lansat marți, 13 aprilie, și ce legătură are cu Muzeul Metropolitan de ArtăUn Google Doodle lansat marți, 13 aprilie, sărbătorește ziua de naștere a Muzeului Metropolitan de Artă cu un carusel rotativ de obiecte din colecția muzeului din New York. Animația ar fi trebuit să apară anul trecut, pentru a coincide cu aniversarea a 150 de ani de la înființarea muzeului, dar a fost amânată, deoarece muzeul a stopat majoritatea festivităților sale, în legătură cu pandemia de coronavirus. El a fost inspirat de numeroasele sale vizite în galeriile muzeului și de „capacitatea acestuia de a conecta oamenii la artă de-a lungul timpului și al locului”, a declarat o purtătoare de cuvânt a „Met”. Sub doodle este un link către o vizionare virtuală a expoziției aniversare „Met’s Making the Met”, 1870-2020, găzduită de Google Arts & Culture. Spectatorii pot parcurge diverse achiziții noi care au completat colecția, inclusiv creații din Asia de Est și opere de artă contemporană.

Spre deosebire de situațiile uzuale în care Google celebrează artiști din diverse domenii sau sărbători naționale și internaționale, de această dată, și-a concentrat atenția asupra unui muzeu, Metropolitan Museum of Art din New York. Mai precis, dacă vrei să-l vizitezi, îl găsești la capătul estic al Central Park, la intersecția dintre 5th Avenue și 82nd Street în cartierul Manhattan, cel mai extravagant din New York. Cele 18 opere de artă alternate în imaginile de pe Google.com au primit o pagină web dedicată pe care o poți accesa aici. Astfel, vei putea povestea din spatele fiecăreia dintre lucrările expuse la importantul muzeu, începând cu faimosul autoportret al lui Vincent van Gogh cu o pălărie din paie. Aceasta nu este prima colaborare a Google cu Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Музей Крёллер-Мюллер, музей Ван Гога в Амстердаме и Нидерландский институт истории искусств открыли онлайн -архив , посвященный творчеству Винсента Ван Гога — в нем хранятся 1098 оцифрованных работ автора. Ресурс называется Van Gogh Worldwide, на нем размещены картины и рисунки разных периодов творчества Ван Гога. Ориентироваться в архиве можно с помощью фильтров: по годам, коллекциям, в которых находятся картины, объектам, изображенным на полотнах, материалам и техникам. О каждой работе есть информация: например, можно узнать, рассказывал ли о ней Ван Гог в письмах (и прочитать их). Пока в архиве только половина работ Ван Гога, но со временем он пополнится и другими картинами, в том числе и теми, что хранятся в музеях других стран.

Deși a fost apreciat foarte puțin în timpul vieții, acum picturile lui sunt unele dintre cele mai renumite din lume. A dus o viață extrem de modestă și a fost una dintre cele mai controversate figuri ale epocii sale. A fost nefericit în dragoste, dar fericit când picta. A avut accese de furie necontrolată și crize de epilepsie, s-a automutilat și s-a înfometat pentru a hrăni săracii. Mai jos vă prezentăm o serie de picturi din „toamna prin ochii lui Vincent”.

As the UK crowns a new monarch, we’re exploring all things royal, from castles to grand tours. “Castles are places were plots were hatched, marriages were consummated, murders carried out, royal babies born, and so on. With castles, you are never short of fascinating things to talk about.”Read on to find out more about 21 of the world’s most beautiful castles, fortified homes that are both a feast for the eyes and a time trip back to the bygone age during which they were created.

The castle’s vivid red-and-yellow color pattern – and its flashy clock tower – endow Pena with a much more playful air than the somber castles found elsewhere in Europe.

Umbrela nu se deformează și nu se întoarce pe dos, cum se întâmplă des cu multe alte umbrele din cauza vântului. # Umbrelă – curcubeuUmbrela, vopsită în toate culorile spectrului, creează o zi luminoasă chiar și în cea mai nefavorabilă vreme. O astfel de umbrelă poate fi oferită în dar fără vreo rușine, cu atât mai mult că are o gamă variată de culori.
