A Exchange of birthday greetings between Paulo Cunha and Otto Rapp

We are both fellow artists and members of the Visionary Art Network. It came to pass that I decided on the spur of the moment to visit Portugal July/August this year. When Paulo heard about it he said that he would be there at about the same time, and invited me to stay with him at the condo he owns in Lourinhã. He then showed me all the sites in the area - it was a unforgettable holiday!

Paulo Cunha and Otto Rapp in Portugal - Birthday Cards

When Paulo's Birthday was announced on Facebook December 10th, I put together a clone-job in Photoshop and posted it on his wall. So now he did likewise on my birthday, December 15th!

Otto Rapp at Obidos, Portugal. My birthday: December 15th

Which gets to show that aside from being accomplished artists, we are also quite good working in Photoshop.

Susannah Martin article in Huffington Post hit by Facebook censorship

I found this posting below by fellow artist Susannah Martin on Facebook. I also remember sharing the post from the Huffington Post Arts & Culture article and am equally upset by this censorship, so I decided to share this via my blog.

Susannah Martin
Dear Friends, Thank you to the thousands of you who liked and shared my interview in the Huffington Post Arts and Culture on Friday ! I am truly moved by your fearless faith in the freedom of art, it keeps me paintin´! Unfortunately, someone did not appreciate my brand of creativity and had the link banned from Facebook. The article is still there though,you can´t silence the Huffington Post that easily, bless their souls. I´ll get a link onto my website ASAP. Until then, haters of the nude can kiss the appropriate spot. Love to all.

A Female Artist Paints Female Nudes Without The Erotic Undertones (NSFW)

Think about the history of nude portraiture. Which paintings come to mind? Manet's "Olympia," Goya's "Nude Maja" or perhaps Courbet's "Origin of the World" if you're getting real? Whatever impromptu string of scantily clad portraits spring to mind, odds are most were painted by men.

German-based artist Susannah Martin is doing her best to uproot this rather uniform trajectory, painting the female body from a -- wait for it -- female point of view. Her contemporary takes on the classical nude imbues female forms with an independent spirit removed from male judgment or approval. These women aren't on display; they're simply doing their thing in the great outdoors.
