	Purdue announces lineup for 2004 Old Masters
		Sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Students, the Old Masters program is an annual tradition that gives students the opportunity to interact with men and women who have risen to the top of their career fields.
		During their three-day stay on campus, the Old Masters, most of whom are Purdue alumni, will visit classrooms and residence halls and share informal meals where the masters will engage in open dialogue with students.
		The Old Masters program started in 1950 with the idea of inviting Purdue leaders who embody the ideals of "honesty, personal integrity and a good philosophy." More than 500 men and women have visited the campus in that capacity in the 54 years since the program's inception.

		In the Old Master field, however, great works by the big names do not come up often any more and the names that predominate are pretty obscure even to most experts.
		For the uninitiated, most of the offerings at Old Master Paintings auctions are quite bewildering, but they are also fascinating for stripped of the glamor label they force the potential buyer to actually look at the lot on its artistic merits.
		Old Master Painting auctions, therefore, are not only esoteric but exciting and this auction was not exception.

	Old Masters
		Works by Master Bertram, Master Francke, Hans Holbein the Older, Jan Massys and the Master of female half-length figures, Dutch painters of church interiors, such as Saendram, Houckgeest or de Witte, works by Rembrandt, Ruisdael, Rubens or the Hamburg painters Georg Hinz or Balthasar Denner are permanently exhibited.
		In the case of the Thomas-altarpiece by Master Francke, the gaps in the presentation immediately alert the viewer to the missing parts of the pictorial narrative.
		The continuous change of the presentation in the rooms housing the Old Masters is the result of loans, which temporarily travel to national and international exhibitions and are replaced for the duration of their absence.

		This comment from an unsophisticated observer looking at a naturalistic picture by a Dutch master of the 17th century or at one of Canaletto's Venetian views is guaranteed to arouse the scorn of an expert.
		Caravaggio, master of dramatic narratives painted with no apparent drawing, became a kind of film director, or rather a photographic collagist, assembling his deeply shadowed tableaux from figures projected in strongly foreshortened poses.
		The suggestion that Jan Van Eyck and his fellow Dutch masters of painted light utilised optical devices is about as convincing as it could be without written evidence that continues to provide the cautious historian with succour.

	Old Master Drawings and Oil Sketches - Mia N. Weiner
		She was the forerunner in America of private old master drawings dealers and the first to publish a comprehensive web site of Old Master Drawings.
		Weiner’s inventory, such as the unusual oil sketch by Sir Alma-Tadema, of the Interior Wall in Casa di Livia, the theatrical Samson and Delila by Enrico Scuri surrounded by an extravagant frame of the artist’s design, the plein air oil of a Gushing Brook by the Swiss painter Steffan.
		It is hoped that this latest edition of what may well be still the most comprehensive web-site of old master drawings for sale, will make many of the present holdings of Mia N. Weiner accessible to both old friends and a new audience.

		This is not just a matter of them referencing Old Master art, but of their affirmative attitude to traditional methods and modes of art making: their respect for craft and time-tested forms of expression.
		It is this realization that informs New Old Master art more than any neoavant- garde art (where the new and the old often form an ironical hybrid), or for that matter any art that uses traditional art to make a contemporary statement without using modernist insights into art.
		New Old Master art is thus the new frontier of innovation and artistic thoughtfulness.

		Most artists and students are overwhelmed by the technical virtuosity of the old masters, particularly the oil painters of the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
		I fall in love with the techniques of this Old Master simply because the choice of colors and every steps were done in oil (personally, I don't like to use charcoal or other materials in underpainting; they tend to smear and cause a mess).
		Look at half finished, or bad paintings of old masters in museums or in close up books and you'll see how different his approach is. Grisaille is a tried and used method, but most painters simply go with brown or sienna tones with local color.

		The three Old Masters boxes were vinyl re-issues of old albums - ironically, they did not use the old master tapes, as they were remastered or remixed.
		Of the Old Masters box art, there were 3 different paintings - one on each box, and I think there was also the Old Masters sampler album with a Donald Roller Wilson painting on the cover.
		When the tapes were finally returned, the earliest masters were in wretched condition (due to improper storage at MGM's vault and 20 years of deterioration of the cheezoid quality tape stock originally used).

		This book is not for beginners nor an exhaustive discourse on the painting techniques of all old masters, but it is superb in its context and a great visual treat.
		Still, in exploring the possibilities of the Old Masters (no records of their actual materials or techniques truly exist, so Sheppard has made at best an exceptionally educated guess), I realized the possibilities that can be achieved in my own painting, with patience, practice, and diligence.

		The Old Masters are well known, staid men of habit - one likes his light autumnal, another prefers his women excessively humble - who occasionally play little tricks of attribution, as if they had turned puckish with age and wanted to bedevil curators and collectors for a few decades before coming clean.

		Therefore, many inconsistencies in proportion, perspective, etc. evident in old masters' work are not 'oddities' or 'mistakes', but purposeful exaggerations or adjustments to benefit the composition.
		This is what has so many critics upset - the idea that the Old Masters might have used every tool possible to complete their commissions faster, and to give their patrons the most pleasing result for the ducat.
		Those critics know about the assembly-line work in some of the Old Masters' studios and who know about the other mechanical aids that are well documented, but squawk at the idea of adding another tool to their toolboxes.

		According to Hockney, when you squeeze an image, take something out of it, put something in - you are drawing on the photograph, just as the old masters did.

		The author discovers that the amazing realism of the Flemish masters such as Vermeer, Rembrandt, Van Eyck, Holbein and Hals was achieved by the use of mirrors and lenses to copy with an almost photographic precision the images reflected.
		The applicants had to be accomplished students under 30 years old, and were accepted into a one year term of study, which was divided into two semesters: a summer session from April 1 to October 1, and a winter session from October 1 to April 1.
