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

An annunciation has been made......

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

I'm sure a lot of people were equally shocked equally 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 - watch 'The bomb'. The results of his CT scan hateful he's currently going through his studio sorting through function into piles of 'destroy', 'sign' and 'keep' - together with working out what's going to laissez passer on to the letters together with clickbacks - together with how he plans to pass the remainder of his days.

For me, I've e'er tended to regard Robert equally ane of those sages who ane comes across from fourth dimension to time. He tells a proficient story together with almost invariably has some really proficient advice to offer. One solely has to sit down together with hear to growth our noesis of proficient things to know - or inwards our illustration 'read' - together with I certainly I read his letters equally they landed inwards my inbox every week. I'm personally really pleased I bought ane of his books - The Robert Genn Twice-Weekly Letters

For many artists his words have got been really accessible - he talks inwards linguistic communication nosotros all understand. The fact that he's been passing on accumulated wisdom twice a calendar week for years together with years way 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 simply ane of the videos Robert Genn: Painting equally Tribute (White Rock Gallery) which you lot tin uncovering on his website - watch Videos

Here's some other ane which is simply a video of Robert icon a scene inwards the forest.  I e'er think of him equally a main of negative space.

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

Caro was ane of the most of import sculptors of his generation inwards the Blue Planet together with his sculpture is represented inwards to a greater extent than than 175 world 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 together with generous'

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

• As Anthony Caro passes away, nosotros yell upward a sculptor of corking humility together with humanity
• Sir Anthony Caro, ane of Britain's finest sculptors, dies aged 89

This to my hear is what marks out the type of creative mortal who gains admission to this society.
