He Made Masterpieces with Manure: Traces of Vermeer
- the-dude 9y agoNot in the article, but I really enjoyed "Tim's Vermeer". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3089388/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3089388/
- mauritzio 9y agoWell imho Vermeer was a real painter not a human printer, maybe that is why Tim is not mentioned in the article ;)
- reysc 9y agoI feel that Vermeer and Tim are pretty much the same, although after watching that film Tim seems more romantic and poetic about picture making than Vermeer would have been given the time he was living in...
- mauritzio 9y agoI feel you are right. Tim is a romantic typewriter given the time he is living in and Vermeer a conceptual poet :o)
- throwapunaway 9y agoVermeer compost?
- pvaldes 9y ago> measures pigments into mussel shells It is worth commenting that we aren't talking about the mussel appreciated in kitchens that everybody knows today. Those are shells from a different and freshwater species called 'painter's palette'. A dull brown, medium sized shell with a glossy and pure white inner face. Being common and easily available in most european rivers was a cheap and perfect solution for mixing oil colors in the, plastics-free, XVII siecle. It is decreasing currently and even critically endangered in some european countries, but still remains relatively common in Holland. Can be found from Iberia to Russia and also in UK.
