No artist has had a greater influence in imagining and realizing the artistic potential of video and television than Korean-born Nam June Paik. Through a vast ...
Happy birthday to artist Nam June Paik, born on this day in 1932. Paik was born in Seoul, South Korea, but grew up and lived in Japan, Germany, and, finally, New York. Paik pioneered the use of new media, including video, in art. Take a look at "Untitled (Red Hand)" from 1967.
He brought this 19-century Japanese scroll to New York when he moved there in 1964. 3 years later, he made this important work by adding his own handprint to the scroll and illuminating it from behind with a flashing light bulb. Traditionally, a Japanese scroll features a red wax seal imprinted by the collector to show ownership. Look closely and you’ll see Paik’s handprint is just above that seal, as if he’s acknowledging a journey from artist, to owner, to artist again.

Petrarch, for example, used the eclogue form to inveigh against the bad government of specific popes and rulers.
From Petrarch and Boccaccio onwards pastoral became a recognized form for expressing political and ecclesiastical controversy and eulogy.
#OnThisDay in 1304 Petrarch was born at Arezzo, the son of a notary who was expelled from Florence. The family migrated to Avignon in 1312. Here, in 1327, Petrarch first saw the woman who inspired his love poetry. He calls her Laura; her true identity is unknown. Until 1353 Petrarch's life was centered on Provence, but he made extended visits to Italy, on the first of which, in 1341, he was crowned poet laureate in Rome, for him the most memorable episode of his life. From 1353 onward he resided in Italy, though he traveled widely, both on his own account and at the instance of his patrons. He died in Arquà in the Euganean Hills near Padua.

Five great enemies of peace inhabit with us — avarice, ambition, envy, anger and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
