It’s a charge that has been rolled out often enough: artworks so seemingly simple in design that the creative effort involved would apparently not challenge a 5-year-old. At the same time, some of these works are considered to be among the world’s greatest paintings, hanging in important museums, or up for sale in major auction houses with eye-watering price tags. Clearly there is more to it than facile technique, but what, exactly? In our latest blog post we look at the question of complexity in 'simple' works by artists such as Lucio Fontana, Josef Albers, and Jackson Pollock, and considering how we can tackle authenticity issues.

It's easy to overlook a piece of art when surrounded by many other artworks, especially when it's this small! 🧐 This red-figure squat oil flask (lekythos) decorated with a swan is one of those pieces. It's these types of pieces where you have to ask yourself, "Why is it so small? Did they really only put oil in this thing? And what's the significance of the swan?" Ask these questions! Engage with the art and start the conversation, maybe you'll get new insight. 😉🦢 Attica, Greece; Classical period, ca. 450-400 BCE Ceramic vessel Tampa Museum of Art, Joseph Veach Noble Collection, 1986.082

Art history is a fascinating field that traces the evolution of art through various cultures and epochs, highlighting how art reflects and influences societal values and events. This study offers insights into humanity’s creative expression, from ancient cave paintings to modern digital art. Each period, whether it's the Classical beauty of Greece, the dramatic chiaroscuro of the Baroque era, or the provocative abstractions of the 20th century, reveals the shifts in aesthetics, technology, and philosophy. By examining these artistic movements, art history not only enriches our understanding of art's aesthetic and technical aspects but also deepens our appreciation of cultural heritage and human ingenuity. It's a discipline that connects the past with the present, helping us understand the continuous thread of human creativity. 🗿 ⚱ 🌟

"The Russian Art Archive Network (RAAN) was initiated by Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow. The project goes beyond a single institution, aiming toward virtual integration of Soviet and contemporary art documentation from the late 20th century until the present, gathered by local experts, institutions, and collectors and stored in Russia and abroad (in particular the USA and Germany. ... As an archive-based research infrastructure, RAAN helps to analyze the diversity and resilience of various alternative artistic practices in an international context and beyond temporal and spatial boundaries."
