    By the Power of Grayskull! Just calling your indie game just Masters of the Universe, without any further distinguisher or indication what kind of game this may be, might not be the greatest idea in mankind’s history. Nevertheless, applying this theme to a typical game of the time seems appropriat [...]

    The movement known as Pop Art burst forth on the global art scene in the 1950s and 1960s as a reaction and challenge to traditional artistic norms. While Abstract Expressionism had filled galleries with paintings rich with emotions and abstract gestures, Pop Art looked instead at the posters coverin [...]

    Edward Hopper remains one of the most mysterious painters of the 20th century, not because his paintings hide overt mysteries, but because their quiet simplicity creates a sense of mystery through absence.

To regard him solely in terms of black lines on a canvas of white space and […] The post Pi [...]

    Vilhelm Hammershøi’s place in the history of European painting is that of the master of silence, atmosphere, and lighting. While many artists of his generation dealt with dramatic scenes and bold colorings in their works of art, he chose the inner world of quiet interiors and the soft northern light [...]
