Joan Fernandez | Saving Vincent, A Novel of Jo van Gogh
Today, Vincent van Gogh is one of the most beloved and widely celebrated artists, but in his lifetime, he had extremely limited commercial success. When Vincent died and his brother Theo unexpectedly passed shortly later, the widow Jo van Gogh was left with a young child to raise and no apparent means to support herself. She inherited a collection of Vincent van Gogh's paintings and drawings, but most considered them to be worthless. Joan Fernandez takes us into her her world and shares how Jo crafted Vincent van Gogh's legacy. Saving Vincent, A Novel of Jo van Gogh is a wonderful read that captures the triumphs and struggles that will help you see Jo, Vincent and the artwork in a new way. Joan Fernandez spent 30 years in Corporate America with a professional career in marketing. This background made Jo van Gogh’s marketing genius leap off the page. In 2018, Joan decided to retire to write Jo’s story. She also pens a weekly blog sharing tidbits about Jo as well as essays about shattering limitations that stand in the way of reaching our true potential—a lesson she learned from studying both Jo and Vincent.

The Erased Masterpiece - Robert Rauschenberg’s Erased de Kooning
A young, up-and-coming Robert Rauschenberg knocked on the door of Willem de Kooning, one of the biggest stars of the art world in his day. Rauschenberg had a big ask. He didn't want advice or help in the traditional sense. He wanted de Kooning to give him a drawing so he could erase it. After an uncomfortable conversation, de Kooning agreed. He looked through his portfolios and picked out a drawing. It was not easy. Rauschenberg spent weeks and wore through numerous erasers on the mixed media piece. In the end he obliterated nearly every trace of de Kooning's drawing in an act that some consider to be an iconoclastic destruction of the artist's legacy and others see as an incredible tribute that completely upended the way we encounter the work moving it from the paper to the imagination.

Andrew Wyeth | Christina's World
Andrew Wyeth was the son of a successful illustrator. Wyeth is best known for his painting "Christina's World" which is among the few artworks to leap from the museum walls to popular culture as it has been referenced in numerous photos, TV shows and movies. The painting was inspired by Wyeth's neighbor who was unable to walk but chose to crawl rather than use a wheel chair. He was inspired as he saw Christina crawling across her family farm to make her way back home. The expansive field serves as a powerful symbol of Christina's vulnerability and isolation. Still, he created the composition from a worm's eye view so that we the viewers are not looking down upon Christina. We are invited to see the world through her eyes and look up at the scene and the house that seems so far off on the horizon. Arts Madness 2025 Season 11 is all about my Arts Madness Tournament.

Albrecht Dürer | Adam and Eve
Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) was a pivotal figure in the Northern Renaissance, renowned for his mastery of painting, printmaking, and art theory. Born in Nuremberg, Germany, Dürer's early training as a goldsmith and painter laid the foundation for his innovative techniques in woodcut and engraving, exemplified by his famous Apocalypse series and the meticulously crafted Adam and Eve. His travels to Italy exposed him to classical ideals and Renaissance innovations, which he integrated into his unique style. As the court painter to Emperor Maximilian I, Dürer's influence extended throughout Europe, solidifying his legacy as a true Renaissance man and a master of art.
