  1. Your art history post for today: by By Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906), Music Hath Charms, 1900, Raja Ravi Varma Heritage Foundation. I believe it is oil on canvas. #IndiaArt #indianart #artofindia

    From the Foundation: “Raja Ravi Varma depicted many women playing musical instruments; this is a theme that was created several times over as the artist was very familiar with women who were trained classically as musicians.

    He painted several 'Nair' women playing instruments, and also singers and classical musicians who were similarly trained in these art forms. The theme of women playing a musical instrument was one perennial to the culture that Ravi Varma grew up in. Hence this theme recurred in several of the artist's finest works.

    This painting has been titled 'Music Hath Charms' (written on reverse) and the size of the work clearly indicates that this was made by the hand of the artist as an exemplar for production of an oleograph/lithographic print.”

    Bill Helin is of #Tsimshian / #Norwegian decent and is a member of the Tsimshian Nation, born and raised in the Northwest Coastal community of Prince Rupert, BC. His father was Arthur Helin, his Grandfather Henry William Helin, was Chief of the Gitlan Tribe, and his Grandmother Maud Helin, was Chief of the Gitgeese Tribe. Bill spent many hours listening to his grandmother in wonder, as she told him many Legends of the Tsimshian People. By the time he was three, he was already drawing and it wasn't long before he was amusing his family, friends and teachers with caricatures and cartoons. For the most part Bill is a self-taught artist. He learned from books, and was soon mastering techniques such as three-dimensional forming, called repousse. In the 1980’s Bill was sponsored to go to K'San, BC's famous #IndianArt and Carving School in Hazelton. In February 1988, Bill attended the renowned Gemology Institute of America in Santa Monica, California, completing advanced courses in gold smithing and gem setting. Today he lives and works from his studio/home on Vancouver Island.

    Bill spent most of his career, which started in 1979, carving traditional Tsimshian wood carving, jewelry and paintings. His art has evolved from creating large wood projects such as a 40 foot long Ravensong Canoe in 1993 and working on the world’s tallest totem pole with Richard Krentz in 1994, to illustrating children’s story books and working on many animation projects. Other projects include working with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency to design three mission patches as well as some education materials.

  26. The reclining figure’s emerald-green pillow cradles his head as he watches his beloved pause mid-step, her red sari flaring against the storm-darkened sky. Lightning fractures the indigo night, sharpening the tension between stillness and the coming deluge—does her raised hand invite the rain, or hold it at bay?
