A life without pencil erasers?

This morning, I got a good dose of philosophy from the newspaper. It isn’t very often that you get to read unique articles and this particular one definitely made my Friday morning a thoughtful one. It was the ‘World View’ column with the title “Pencil Erasers may be the ‘devil’” that caught my attention. It got me thinking about the process of unlearning taught to us at school. A lot of questions popped up. Why do we hide our mistakes? Why isn’t it okay to make mistakes? Why are we taught to make up for a mistake? Why aren’t we taught to look at the mistake and learn from it? Why do we erase a mistake? Why aren’t we being naturally ourselves? Why do we need an eraser? The last question is what instigated me to write this post. What if Edward Nairne had not invented an eraser by accident? What if we were never introduced to the concept of the eraser at school! I should admit that the little wad of rubber that undoes all the mistakes made by your mighty pencil is inde...

Ever Yours, Vincent.

Never in a thousand years did I think I would be obsessed with a late, delusional psycho who was also an exceptional artist and a noteworthy character with a peculiar interest for romance. My affair started around 8 years back; a time when I had started writing and blogging for the first time. I visited this pop-up museum of contemporary art which showcased Vincent Van Gogh’s choicest documentaries. Many of his famous paintings were also on display. That was the day I fell in love, with his art, with the way he loved, with the way he expressed himself before he fell into life’s inevitable trap. The beautiful yellowish hues that dominated his paintings, the sunflowers, the potato eaters and the starry night which comes alive in my dreams every night. Those letters he wrote his brother Theo with care, love and a pinch of attitude. That unconditional brotherly love, that aimless love he showed his friend and mentor Gauguin, that love he showed the random women he saw and paint...

Vincent Van Gogh

I don't know when exactly I started appreciating art and artists, but this day made all the difference. A day at the Contemplate Art Gallery, Coimbatore taught me to see art with a perspective - my perspective and the artist's perspective. :) I always thought that   modern   art was just a breakthrough and that it lacked the depth and expression of classic art. But, this documentary show organized by Contemplate and Konangal (film society) made me think otherwise. The hosts spoke about how art was related to modern day film making and how every film maker is considered an artist. Three documentaries were screened, all three about a legendary artist, who is apparently called the 'mad genius'. He is none other than Vincent Van Gogh.   The first documentary was from 'Great Artists' by BBC's Tim Marlow. He took us through the life history and paintings of Vincent.   Vincent Van Gogh is considered the greatest Dutch painter of all times. He successfully...
