Joseph Beuys Talks about his Art: “Everybody is an Artist”
A short clip featuring German artist Joseph Beuys in which he talks about his art and his then exhibition in London.

Originally posted on The Chirurgeon's Apprentice:

The Outsider – H. P. Lovecraft
H.P. LOVECRAFT’S “THE OUTSIDER” I just had a nice little re-read of this very short Lovecraft classic and thought I’d do some googling. Behold: goodies! The music is particularly good, although it looks as though it’s been around for a while, so apologies if this is a mere memory jolt for you. I recommend enjoying … Continue reading The Outsider – H.

The Beautiful Leonora Carrington (1917-2011)
As regular visitors to Examining the Odd will know by now, British-born Mexican surrealist Leonora Carrington is one of my favourite artists. Her paintings are somehow oppressive yet elegant, tense yet loving. Her writing is inspiring and thought-provoking. We have two prints of hers at the bottom of our stairs to add a little more … Continue reading The Beautiful Leonora Carrington (1917-2011)
