The Hunters in the Snow - Pieter Bruegel (1565)
I’ve seen this painting in numerous films, most recently in Von Trier’s Melancholia, also in Tarkovsky’s Solaris. Captivating.

Journey preview: A million little fibers | Joystiq:
I imagined the feelings I had playing Journey are the same Jacques Cousteau might have felt as he explored the seas. There’s a certain magic in discovery and figuring things out for ourselves, putting the puzzle together without a hand to hold us. I may have questioned the point of my own journey while I was there, but I can’t wait to pick it back up again.
It is this very sort of open-ended, interpretive experience that I find most appealing in all arts and entertainment. We need things to remind us to marvel and encourage us to wonder.
Also: I’m looking forward to this game. If you couldn’t tell.
Beautiful piece of work.
Feeling
The deeper the feeling, the fewer the words you use to express it. A sigh followed by a simple, “It was beautiful.” A far-off gaze with a “good times” interjected. A smile and playful eyes looking up to answer “How was it?”.
Cinema captures the timing, the body language, the inflections and gestures we make to express ourselves. It captures raw human emotion as we live it. Cinema captures feeling.
And I love it.
Art Created Using Shadows. Beautiful work.
Update: Kumi Yamashita is the artist behind this work.

Recently I walked by the Ala Moana Mac cosmetic store and noticed a crowd of Japanese tourists gawking and snapping pics. Amazingly, a model in full body paint was posing against a set. She was a darn good simulation of a late 19th century oil painting.

What could I say that would be more awesome than this picture?
Nothing. Except knowing that it’s art for this game.
World’s Largest Ball of Paint, Alexandria, Indiana - So American, but so beautiful in all its peculiarity.
