Thank you for writing about the exhibit at the Belgravia. This is such a lovely sampling of such wonderful painting. I wish that Scene4 would publish more about the art world and especially about representational art. It does indeed thrive amidst the preponderance of that which passes for modern art.

Perhaps, though, he owns more or less than he knows: a "Picasso" from the agile hand of Elmyr de Hory? Unrecognized fake chef d'oeuvres of Picasso, Matisse, Cézanne, Renoir etc. still populate the museums and living rooms of the world. The greatest faker of the last century did not copy, he created the masterpieces. And he did so very fast. Have a look (again) at the amusing film-essay by Orson Welles, "F for Fake", meet the master painter and see him at work. You will also meet his Ibiza neighbor, the equally brilliant literary faker Clifford Irving, who not only wrote the invented autobiography of Howard Hugues ("Hoax") but also a biography of his friend and inspiration, Elmyr de Hory. And if you rent the additional DVD from Netflix you will learn that the fake Picassos have become a collectors' item in their own right. What is more thrilling these days: a Picasso on your wall or an Elmyr de Hory that even Picasso himself could not tell apart?

Visiting an Artist's Life - Khun Visoot's work is ethereal and seems to be in harmony with his surroundings. Nice writing.

Lovely article, thanks for sharing and the splendid print of the pictures. Thanks.

Wonderful article, both erudite and personal, and how beautiful these luminous paintings look (at long-distance) on Scene4's excellent screen. Pictures and text brought back a whole European era for me, with the memory of exhibitions in Hamburg, Munich, Paris, and early Kandinsky paintings that inspired my first serious poems as a schoolgirl. A marvelous surprise to find Lissa Tyler Renaud here.

Balazs Szabo is a great man and a great artist and a great example of how art flourishes when artists are free and people are free to experience their art. Thank you for portraying that and him.
George Draco
Szabo is an inspiration. Hope his dream of an artistic community in Hillsboro, NC is realized soon.

SS.Burrus is one of those hidden treasures in American art and especially in Native American art. She's probably better known in other parts of the world than she is here in her Native land. Thank you much for displaying her beauty.

I have one of his paintings from a few years ago. It's enchanted you know, it keeps changing every time you look at it. Good writeup about him.

Many thanks for your display of Supawat. His paintings are beautiful and I long to buy one soon.

Great cover page. It's great to see the Nagel women again in all their chilling glory and those eyes. I don't think the iphone flickr crowd really knows how much he's influenced what they see and do. RIP Patrick, you're still with us.
