Rembrandt's 12'x14' masterpiece, The Night Watch (more properly The Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq and Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch preparing to march out), has been re-installed at the Rijksmuseum, part of a $400 million renovation of the Amsterdam museum.
In honor of that, a flash mob performed at a mall in Breda.
Apparently an attempt was also made to have a flash mob do Malevich's iconic modernist painting, below.

| Kazimir Malevitch, Suprematist Composition: White on White, 1918, MOMA |
It proved to be, understandably, ill-suited.

Tomorrow the May Two-day Workshop begins. For me it will be fun, with The Vertical One behind me, to once again be out with Mother Nature.
Happy Painting!
Funny!!

ReplyDeleteHahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I went to see the Night Watch a few years ago, before the Rijksmeseum closed, and it was fantastic. After cleaning and with improved lighting it will be worth a second visit. A bit like your Chemin Blanc painting in impact, but not so colourful. Great video.
