Brand New!! 28Th October 2013 - Who's Made A Score This Week?

An statement has been made......

"For years I've been telling artists to practise it now, non later"

I'm sure a lot of people were every bit shocked every bit I was this calendar week to hear that Robert Genn (The Painter's Keys) got some really bad news of the terminal form lastly weekend - reckon 'The bomb'. The results of his CT scan hateful he's currently going through his studio sorting through run into piles of 'destroy', 'sign' and 'keep' - in addition to working out what's going to go on to the letters in addition to clickbacks - in addition to how he plans to pass the residue of his days.

For me, I've e'er tended to regard Robert every bit 1 of those sages who 1 comes across from fourth dimension to time. He tells a skillful story in addition to almost invariably has some really skillful advice to offer. One entirely has to sit down in addition to remove heed to growth our cognition of skillful things to know - or inward our illustration 'read' - in addition to I certainly I read his letters every bit they landed inward my inbox every week. I'm personally really pleased I bought 1 of his books - The Robert Genn Twice-Weekly Letters

For many artists his words have got been really accessible - he talks inward linguistic communication nosotros all understand. The fact that he's been passing on accumulated wisdom twice a calendar week for years in addition to years agency he's going to live leaving behind a pretty large legacy.  Here are the links to all the clickbacks - 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and
2000.

Also, here's only 1 of the videos Robert Genn: Painting every bit Tribute (White Rock Gallery) which you lot tin detect on his website - reckon Videos

Here's some other 1 which is only a video of Robert epitome a scene inward the forest.  I e'er think of him every bit a principal of negative space.

Also this calendar week nosotros heard of the decease of the eminent sculptor Sir Anthony Caro OM CBE RA. 

Caro was 1 of the most of import sculptors of his generation inward the basis in addition to his sculpture is represented inward to a greater extent than than 175 populace collections all over the world. He was also the 'design brains' behind the Millenium Bridge over the Thames. He's received many fulsome tributes.

• Here he is - In pictures: Sir Anthony Caro
• Alastair Sooke writes - Sir Anthony Caro: 'gentle, considerate in addition to generous'

I asked Caro 1 of those unanswerable journalistic questions: what is sculpture for? His reply was pin-sharp: “To delight the oculus in addition to feed the soul,” he shot back. “Human beings dance, they brand music, they carve trivial pebbles, or stick pieces of clay together. Animals don’t practise it. It’s only a natural human thing.”

• As Anthony Caro passes away, nosotros hollo back a sculptor of cracking humility in addition to humanity
• Sir Anthony Caro, 1 of Britain's finest sculptors, dies aged 89
