If you think art history has to be pale, male and stale - think again. Should museums be made to give back their marbles? Is it even possible to 'decolonise' our galleries? Must Rhodes fall? From the stolen Wakandan art in Black Panther, to Emmanuel Macron's recent commitment to art restitution, and Beyoncé and Jay Z's provocative music video filmed in the Louvre, the question of decolonising our relationship with the art around us is quickly gaining traction. People are waking up to the seedy history of the world's art collections, and are starting to ask difficult questions about what the future of museums should look like. In The Whole Picture, art historian and Uncomfortable Art Tour guide Alice Procter provides a manual for deconstructing everything you thought you knew about art, and fills in the blanks with the stories that have been left out of the art history canon for centuries. The book is divided into four chronological sections, named after four different kinds of art space: The Palace The Classroom The Memorial The Playground Each section tackles the fascinating and often shocking stories of five different art pieces, including the propaganda painting that the East India Company used to justify its control in India; the Maori mokomokai skulls that were traded and collected by Europeans as 'art objects'; and Kara Walker's controversial contemporary sculpture A Subtlety, which raised questions about 'appropriate' interactions with art. Through these stories, Alice brings out the underlying colonial narrative lurking beneath the art industry today, and suggests different ways of seeing and thinking about art in the modern world. The Whole Picture is a much-needed provocation to look more critically at the accepted narratives about art, and rethink and disrupt the way we interact with the museums and galleries that display it.

Most of us find architecture fascinating. The built environment around us reflects the history and culture of a place that can shape our experiences and perceptions of an area. However, not all the buildings stand the test of time and many are left to decay. For some, they become unwanted ghosts of the past; for others, they are objects of mystery and awe.

"Pandora," by Odilon Redon (c. 1914) DIMENSIONS • 9" x 12" (Image: 4.5" x 10.5") • 12" x 16" (Image: 6" x 14") • 16" x 20" (Image: 7.25" x 17") • 20" x 30" (Image: 11.13" x 26") • 24" x 36" (Image: 13.25" x 31") Archival Inkjet on Fine Art Paper Smooth Surface - Matte Finish - Inset Borders ABOUT THE ARTWORK ----------------------------- Posed amid a swirling dreamscape of beautiful flowers, the first woman holds—but has not yet opened—the box that will unleash the evils of humanity. Whereas other artists have tended to focus upon Pandora's mischief, Redon depicts her in her innocence; the gentle inhabitant of the word that appeared to us as children, and which persists in our collective memory as Eden. A masterwork of pure mood and imagination, it reflects Redon's philosophy of art as an exploration of the psychic realm, placing "the visible at the service of the invisible." ART-CENTRIC DESIGN ----------------------------- Vintage art is not standardized. The original works are usually too long, or too short, to neatly fill a store-bought frame. Most shops arbitrarily crop the artwork to match, leading to claustrophobic prints with missing or partial elements. These modifications — sometimes trivial, sometimes ludicrous — are not always shown in the product photos. We believe that the purpose of art is not to fill a frame; it is the purpose of a frame to showcase the art. Our prints have inset borders that make up any differences in proportion between the artwork and a standard frame, so that you can experience the art as the artist intended. They look sharp in beveled mats, may be float mounted, or inserted directly into standard frames; the borders providing a mat-like accent around the image. There are many styles from which to choose. Framing is a fun, creative process that enhances the artwork and livens your space for years to come. Should you like any advice, feel free to reach out. CUSTOMIZATION AND IMAGE REQUESTS ----------------------------- We are happy to customize our prints to fit your frame. Borderless prints may require the artwork to be cropped to fit a new aspect ratio. In such cases, we will provide a mockup to ensure that the final product meets with your approval. If you’re looking for an artwork that is not in our catalog, feel free to ask if we can provide it. We will print any public domain or openly licensed image that is available in high resolution. MUSEUM QUALITY ----------------------------- Giclée process prints are the gold standard in fine art reproduction. We use a matte finish, cotton fiber paper to maximize detail while eliminating glare. Our prints display a wide color gamut, deep blacks and beautiful tonal transitions. Produced using only archival materials, they will not fade or yellow, but maintain their original quality for as long as you own them. HANDMADE DECLARATION ----------------------------- To assure artistic quality, all of our production and design is strictly in-house. Every print has been proofed, calibrated and inspected for defects. We do not drop ship, resell or make use of third-party production partners. SHIPPING AND PACKAGING ----------------------------- All orders ship within one business day via USPS First Class, Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express. Sizes 9” x 12” and 12” x 16” ship in a flat configuration, unless combined with larger prints, which require tubes. We will replace any lost or damaged items at no expense to you. HAPPINESS GUARANTEE ----------------------------- We will promptly address any issues that may arise with your order. If you are unhappy with your print for any reason, you are welcome to return it for a full refund.

One of the most powerful dreams I was ever given was a visitation from my maternal Grandfather who came to me as an adult, twenty years after he died.Like many ancestral dreams, it was singularly vivid and more lucid than everyday dreams.I looked into the bright clarity of his eyes, felt the warmth and weight of his hand on my shoulder, and recognized the melody of his thick accent even though I was 7 years old when last I heard it.

Wishing you all a love filled and Merry Christmas!! (Image Source) Amy x

♥Custom made size: Tell us your width and height Order quantity==Square meters==Widthxheight Website price: $/ square meter.

If you width and height in feet and inches and donot how to convert it and you can send me message inbox. ♥Stitching Method of Join panels There is about 2-3cm overlap of two panels and you cannot put them side by side. After you install the part 1 mural, then align the part 2 mural with the part 1 mural installed on the wall and paste the part 2 mural, then cut off the overlap of the two panels with knife and mural. Peel off the cut part and level off surface with a scraper. ♥Install join panel 1.Prepare tools and clean the wall and confirm that the wall is clean and flat. For concavo-convex place, level off it with tools or fill it with materilal. 2.Lay wallpaper down on the flat surface and then check the quality, size and whether the wallpaper is complete. 3.Confirm the sequence of wallpaper. Mark vertical lines on the wall according to the each size of the panel.(Note: Splicing place have overlap of 1cm) 4.Brush glue on wall or back of wallpaper and align the first mural to the chalk line and paste it.(Note: please leave 1-2cm for the top and bottom of the panel) 5.Level off surface of mural with a scraper, cut out the excess part with a knife and clean overflow glue with a sponge. Donot touch surface of mural with glue glue and avoid filth of mural. 6.Align the second mural with the first mural installed on the wall and then cut out overlap of two panels with knife and ruler. Peel off cut part and then level off surface of the mural with scraper. 7.For the switch, cut a cross shape on the switch place. Donot exceed the size of switch, cut the spare part around switch. Then level off surface of mural with scraper. 8.Install all the panels and then wait 3-4 days for dry. ♥The difference among seamless, join panels and peel and stick 1.Seamless is a whole piece that you just need to use glue is okay, but if your wall width or height is over 1.8M, then it may be wrinkle during the long distance. 2. Join panels it is a whole piece that cut in several panels and there are about 2-3cm overlap of each panel, you need to cut that 2-3 overlap after install all panels on the wall. It also needs to prepare wallpaper glue. 3. Peel and stick is also come in several panels and it has glue on the back but it can only use to painted and smooth wall or glass surface and cannot use to dusty or textured wall. ♥ If you have any question, please feel free to contact me. ♥Enjoy Happy Shopping Here♥♥
