The Spy with License to Dance โ€ฆ and Paint!

This isnโ€™t a fictional book by Ian Fleming, nor an imaginary film about the worldโ€™s most famous secret agent.

The โ€œJames Bondโ€ weโ€™re talking about here is Italian, and his name is Alberto Spadolini (1907 โ€“ 1972).

He was sexy and daring like 007, surrounded by fascinating women and celebrities of the international jet set, continually moving between different milieux โ€“ showbiz, politics, sophisticated circles, and war scenarios.

The only difference is โ€“ he was real.

Central and Eastern European Art: A Veiled Treasure

By on • ( 1 Comment )

The global Art market is undergoing change as the world continues its progression towards globalization. That specific change is the diversification of a predominantly Western Art market. This is phenomenal, but itโ€™s also about time because it means that the Art market is finally beginning to include and value Art of all the different cultures that make up humanity. Now, not every culture or type of Art is valued or held to the same caliber yet, but we are getting there.ย 

One of the regions that still appears to be struggling to break into the Art Market is Central and Eastern Europe. Which is problematic because it leaves a massive gap in our understanding of Art movements, and how we are where we are in contemporary Art today. So, in order to understand what Central and Eastern European Art is, you will first need to understand what distinguishes the region from the rest of Europe.ย

Women in Art: A glimpse into Central & Eastern Europe

By on • ( 3 Comments )

Whilst women have always been an essential topic in the visual arts they have historically been excluded from the entire artistic canon. That is not to say that women have not participated in the creation of Art, rather that the Western canon solely includes the work of men. To be more specific, the Western artistic canon includes and values the works of Western men only.

One might think that it makes perfect sense the Western Art canon is inclusive of male artists considering the fact that the first wave of feminism only begun around the late 19th century. So, before that, women werenโ€™t really a part of many industries. Also, as stated in the name, the western Art canon is in fact โ€œwesternโ€ and does not proclaim to be the โ€œglobalโ€ art canon.
