Welcome to the New MAN!
On 12, Mar 2012 | 16 Comments | In Featured, News | By Nancie
For over six years now, Mosaic Art NOW (MAN) has been creating content about contemporary mosaic art on line and in print. With this website, we’re making it all available in one place. Here you will meet the people who are making and thinking about mosaic in modern and innovative ways. We also do homage to the mosaic-makers of the past whose techniques are the cornerstone for today’s dynamic explorations into the art form.
We are proud and honored to kick off the New MAN with four brand-new articles written by some of the most talented, accomplished and intriguing people from the world of contemporary mosaics. Do NOT miss these pieces currently showcased on the Home Page of MAN.
From our new Ideas section:
-
Discover the secrets of The Lod Mosaic with Lillian Sizemore in her new video “Lod 2.0 Above and Below”
-
Consider the nature of mosaic within the larger art world in “Mosaic? Non-Mosaic? Neo-Mosaic? Post-Mosaic?” by Ravenna-based instructor, writer and critic Daniele Torcellini.
From our new Why Mosaic? section:
-
Elaine M. Goodwin reveals how a personal discovery in Ravenna in the 1990s fueled her 20-year mosaic pursuit to “commune with the divine.”
-
Ilana Shafir takes us to her mosaic garden and studio in Ashkelon, Israel to show us why, at 87, she still finds “constant renewal and endless inspiration” in the making of mosaics.
