Stunning … Are you in London at the moment?
I enjoyed Tate Modern more than Tate Britain. The building is fantastic (is there a better setting for modern art?). The exhibits were organized in a creative manner. And the art is accessible.
Talking of art and the city, a little map I drew for those who know New York but not London (or vice versa).
That is a fine painting indeed, but I have to agree with the previous commenter’s support of the Tate Modern. It might not be great architecture for a museum per se, but it’s certainly a fine venue for viewing modern art. Indeed, I’d rather stroll down the South Bank from City Hall to the bridge near Westminster than do the same on the more illustrious North.
I don’t get it.
What does it mean?
Looks like the work of a contemporary Chinese artist. There are a few that could have painted this piece, but this is very nice indeed.
“I was referring to the art only, and it’s not even close between the two.”
I understand your point of view. But the Tate Modern is so much cooler. And London is all about being cooler.
Personally, I like the little lines because they evoke looking at the house through bare winter trees. Together with the cool blues, they make the painting feel very wintry. It’s like going hiking in the woods and suddenly coming upon a house, almost voyeuristic. And I just think the color and composition are beautiful in their own right.
The small white lines seem to lack purpose and thought. Perhaps an interesting experiment, but one nonetheless, that didn’t bear fruit in my opinion.

We then investigate the economic value (to authors) of informal comments offered by colleagues. This investigation leads us naturally into a discussion of the degree to which formal collaboration through coauthorship serves as a substitute for informal collaboration through collegial commentary. Data on manuscript submissions to the Journal of PolzticalEconomy permit us to shed additional empirical light on this subject. Finally, we demonstrate that while the incidence and extent of formal intellectual collaboration through coauthorship are greater in biology than in economics, the incidence and extent of informal intellectual collaboration are greater in economics than in biology. This leads us to search for evidence (which we find) of quids pro quo offered by authors to suppliers of free nokia n70 games
