Art Theft in Zurich

http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/02/11/art.theft/index.html
"Haul includes pieces by Cezanne, Van Gogh, Degas and Monet"

Art theft is one of the most inexcusable crimes. Taking something that is on public display, and essentially bringing back into a private collection- these people should be drawn and quartered...

An Andrew Wyeth Piece...

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep"
Andrew Wyeth
(b.1917)


"Wind From the Sea"
Oil on Canvas
Dimensions unknown


While I personally prefer the work of N.C. Wyeth over that of his son, Andrew; ol' Andrew has a real knack for painting that cold, dried out, wintery New England landscape. (plus, those curtains are sweet...)
