Art Random - # 8

Random artworks I find in the streets, underpasses, parks. No transit stations. No museums. Well, sometimes.
They would include paintings, murals, sculptures, statues, structures, and temporary installations.

Can I call this an art installation? I just adore the Minions.

I was glad I visited the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam during the winter of 2023. To look at the works of these movers and shakers of contemporary art is to try to look into the minds of the masters.

Multatuli (from Latin multa tulī, "I have suffered much") is the pen name of Dutch writer Eduard Douwes Dekker (1820 - 1887). Considered one of The Netherlands' greatest writers, he is best known for his satirical novel Max Havelaar (1860), which denounced the abuses of colonialism in the Dutch East Indies.

Oh, see the lights dance sinuously on the water.

bu sin ess as usual

Franse was a painter but started creating spatial objects in the late 1960s. The "Apple" was a "living piece", and a common waiting place from travellers who started writing messages and names on it. It is still a favourite meeting point.
