In 1990 on a journey through South India, the painter Bernd Zimmer was inspired by the pillared porticoes of the Hindu temples and conceived the idea for a hall of art surrounded by nature, supported by 121 individually designed pillars created by famous artists from all over the world. Together the pillars would support a common roof and form an art universe that stands for solidarity, international understanding, and respect for nature. Zimmer has been pursuing this idea and its realization as STOA169, a permanent art installation in Polling, Bavaria, for more than thirty years. Together the pillars forms an art universe which stands for solidarity, international understanding and respect for nature.This lavishly illustrated volume documents its creation, showing all the artists’ pillars in detailed individual photos.

Born on this day in 1839: the French painter Paul Cézanne, a pioneer in the development of Classical modernism. He's famous for his many views of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, a hill near his birthplace Aix-en-Provence. The artist translated the interplay of sunlight and shadow on the constantly changing stone into more than 80 pictures on the threshold of abstraction. Countless artists, including Matisse, Derain, Picasso, Braque and Léger found inspiration in his deas on colour modulation and pictorial composition. To learn more, check out our monograph on Cézanne from the Great Masters of Art series. Author Christoph Wagner positions Cézanne as a genius who opened up a completely new view of the world through his paintings and watercolours. HBD Cézanne!

Shout out to Hyperallergic for the new review of Stanley Greenberg's Olmsted Trees! This great post attends to the contributions and complexities around the pioneering American landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of many iconic American public parks (NYC's Central Park & Prospect Park, Boston's Emerald Necklace, the US Capitol Grounds, etc). It beautifully describes arboreal heritage as a kind of evergreen monument which changes alongside the course of history itself: "Greenberg’s 100 black-and-white photographs captured in 26 of Olmsted’s city park projects portray elements that have only recently grown into their full expression, something the architect himself would not live to see." Monumental.

Seemingly dissonant pieces serve as dialogues with audiences both past and present, transforming tropes of classical beauty into a beguiling, smiling riddle. Meet this strange gaze with with Stéphane Zaech: Nefertiti, a stunning new monograph of over one hundred paintings from the past decade.
