Damit wir in der Zeit der Corona-Krise miteinander verbunden bleiben, schreiben wir jeweils ein Kapitel aus der Bibel mit unserer Handschrift ab. Daraus entsteht die St.Galler Corona-Bibel, die der Stiftsbibliothek übergeben und dort als Zeichen der Hoffnung und Verbundenheit und als Zeitzeugnis aufbewahrt wird.

In einer festlichen Dankesfeier, zu der wir öffentlich einladen, wird die St.Galler Corona-Bibel nach überstandener Krise der Stiftsbibliothek übergeben. Dort soll sie als ermutigendes Zeichen der Hoffnung und Verbundenheit und als Zeitzeugnis aufbewahrt werden.

Pigments are the basis of all paints, and have been used for millennia. They are ground colored material. Early pigments were simply as ground earth or clay, and were made into paint with spit or fat. Modern pigments are often sophisticated masterpieces of chemical engineering.

This exhibit includes most important pigments used through the early 20th century.

Pigments through the Ages:
How Artists have colored our lives

An important point in the appreciation of Zen art is the idea that the character and spiritual power of the monk or nun is transmitted into the painting by the concentration of the artist at the time it was brushed. In Japanese this spiritual quality is called bokki. This art is intended to be appreciated not only with your eyes, but with your feeling and intuition as well.

Viel Spass beim Video von Marcel Wanders mit einer Sammlung kalligrafischer Arbeiten in Verbindung mit alten Gemälden.

iKlimt is an evocative, beautifully designed interactive site about the life and work of Gustav Klimt.

A very serene interface with music, a nice compilation of klimt’s artwork, and well-written essays about the Austrian artist. If you’re viewing a painting, you can select a magnifying tool and a small viewing window appears, which you can drag across parts of the painting to see details close up.

In diesem Video zeigt Slo Lee, wie man das gesamte Fraktur Capitals Alphabet mit einem Flachpinsel und Gouache schreibt.
Viel Vergügen!

You can find examples of Peter Milton’s work on numerous art gallery websites. But because his pieces are so finely wrought and minutely detailed, they tend not to reproduce well over the internet. The good news is, he has his own website with a large selection of his work in superior high-definition scans.

Peter Milton: Black and White Etchings and Engravings

Leonardo wrote in Italian using a special kind of shorthand that he invented himself. People who study his notebooks have long been puzzled by something else, however. He usually used „mirror writing“, starting at the right side of the page and moving to the left. Only when he was writing something intended for other people did he write in the normal direction.
