I loved this painting in the Getty called Astronomer by Candlelight painted by Gerrit Dou in the late 1650's. The detail of the light and dark, all from a single source is very realistic and makes you peer into the scene to see better. Museum Monday is an every other week series about museum news, objects, and reviews.
In a world where we can have almost anything on demand, Fine Art is something still out of reach for many people. That is why I've been fascinated by so-called "Art Vending Machines", but had yet to see one in person. So when I heard about Blue Chipped an exhibit at Understudy in Downtown Denver, I had to check it out. I’m sitting inside this blue kiosk downtown from 4-8 pm TODAY 💙serving up mini $20 paintings and 1 trillion calories of free blue candy and hot teas... you should come say hi to me through the kiosk windows! 💙💙🍭💙💙🍵💙💙🍭💙💙🍵💙💙🍭 A
