If you're passing through Kitchener, as I was on the weekend, you'd be silly not to stop off at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery and see what's growing in the front garden.

Illustration: Anders Zorn. Dalecarlian Scene tapestry panel, 1909 Anders Zorn the Swedish fine art painter is probably better known outside of his native Sweden, as that of an accomplished and highly successful nineteenth and early twentieth century portrait painter. Zorn travelled widely in both Europe and North America and his portraits made him wealthy and acclaimed.

Anders Zorn Tapestries
In the six years that I have been selling my art online… I have probably had a dozen or so pieces of art come up ‘missing’? During my years on eBay…I ended up having to start requiring a ‘signature upon delivery’…

Jump to the full entry & travel map Lhasa, Tibet, China We were both up early due to the difficulty sleeping at altitude (we’re still at 3700m) and Adele’s blocked nose, so we sent a couple of hours getting our washing and drying done, before heading down to the lobby to meet Leon (the Chinese guide) to head into Barkhor Square and the Jokhang Temple. Out the front of the temple dozens of pilgrims prostrate themselves full length on the ground in prayer to Buddha, repeating their short ritual over and over. We made our way past them and into the tourist entrance of the temple, and proceeded to have a very rushed tour, led by Pemba (the Tibetan guide)

Peggy Klaus is the author of Brag! How to Toot Your Own Horn Without Blowing It , which I recommend for every artist. I was thrilled to interview her about this book back in 2008 since it’s a topic artists struggle with: bragging about themselves and their accomplishments.

Carolee Schneemann is one of the most important artists of the past forty years, so why did I find myself on a bus headed to a rural university an hour and a half north of New York City to see the most complete American overview of her work since an exhibition at the New Museum in 1997? Performance art is unthinkable without Schneemann who developed a feminist-centered art before the feminist movement existed

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts , in the past two years, has acquired work by five African American artists, four of them from the international and national art strataspheres. Their work looks spectacular in the show Summer Surprises, an exhibit that includes recent acquisitions of work by 11 artists, placing the 11 in the context of some earlier acquisitions also on display! The large contingent of artists of color working within yet challenging and stretching the academy’s reality-based tradition is the big news. The five with work acquired in 2010 and 2009 are Mickalene Thomas, Kehinde Wiley, Mark Bradford, Odili Donald Odita and Clarence E.

PAFA’s Summer Surprises and more
By Peter Crimmins The restoration crew at the Philadelphia Art Museum likes to say that The Gross Clinic now looks like it did when it came off Thomas Eakins easel in 1875. Only partially true. The way it is presented in the Museum’s Perelman Building is nothing like the debut the painting had at the 1876 Centennial Expo in Fairmount Park

Guest Blogger: Jeremy Mason As an artist without formal training, I have had to really break into the local art scene. That process is still happening and it has been a great learning experience. I haven’t yet landed that show at the gallery of my dreams, but I have optimized my exposure by finding creative and respected places to hang my art. Specifically, I have looked for fantastic art spaces without huge barriers to entry.

Gallery 339 ’s 10-artist summer show, In Review , doesn’t quite come together as a statement about contemporary photography—the fluffy press release extols the work’s “lively, complex, and intelligent dialogue about meaningful issues.” Nonetheless, the uniformly polished work is attractive and occasionally insightful.

Matisse; Radical Invention 1913-17 at the Museum of Modern Art through Oct. 11 is not for those take the artist at his word that a painting should be like a good armchair: familiar and comfortable, presumably. Rather it’s for those who like a challenge and find that almost a century later some of his work is still unsettling and disturbing; paintings such as the Portrait of Yvonne Landsberg (1914, Philadelphia Museum of Art) defined entirely by scratched lines which radiate like a force field around a sitter who merges with her chair; or the Portrait of Olga Merson (1911, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston) which was seen in Philadelphia in Cezanne and Beyond
