Probably one of the toughest questions you could ask me at this exhibition in London so I went for a piece by Pierre Bonnard who represents perfectly some very unique moments I got to live in the South of France.

Let us know if you make it there and share your favorite piece and why đŸ«¶đŸŒ

Is there a secret brain hidden on the Sistine Chapel ceiling? 🧠

Quick intro: Michelangelo was an Italian Renaissance artist, the same guy who carved the famous statue of David. Between 1508 and 1512, he painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Its most famous scene is The Creation of Adam, where God reaches out to almost touch Adam’s finger.

Now look at the shape around God and the angels. In 1990, a doctor named Frank Meshberger pointed out that it looks just like a human brain, folds and all. We know Michelangelo studied anatomy by dissecting bodies when he was young, so some people think he hid it there on purpose. He never said so himself, so nobody can prove it.

So what do you think: genius secret or just a coincidence? Vote in the comments 🧠 or đŸ€·â€â™€ïž

Meet Yves Klein, the man who owned a colour 💙

Born in Nice in 1928, he fell in love with the blue of the Mediterranean sky. So he made his own: International Klein Blue, or IKB.

Then he painted with it in every way you can think of. With rollers, on plain monochrome canvases. With sea sponges. And with people, as models covered in blue pressed their bodies onto paper. He called them living brushes.

He did all of this in just 34 years of life.

You can see him (I mean 4 of his pieces) at Painting the French Riviera, opening tomorrow at the Royal Academy
Would you wear this blue?

It is that time of the week again.
ANT 84 by Yves Klein

What a marvelous piece with a very surprising way of making because this is not a brush work ;)

Now on display at the Royal Academy in London in the latest painting the French Riviera exhibition opening on Friday 2nd October.

Enjoy!
