Ovation TV's American Revolutionaries

Ovation TV has been a lovely escape these last few days.  Presently Ovation is airing the American Revolutionaries series through July 31.  Documentaries and movies profile an assortment of the best figures in architecture, film, design, music, and art.   This evening I am indulging in  I.M. Pei and Frank Lloyd Wright.  The movies and documentaries are very well done, informational and inspirational.

Last night it was Basquiat, a film about Jean Michel  Basquiat with an incredible all star cast (See David Bowie as Andy Warhol...Excellent!)  Some of the other artists profiled are Warhol, Rothko, Nat King Cole, The last 48 hours of Kurt Cobain, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Martha Graham, Robert Rauschenberg, Orson Wells, Sylvia Plath, Marlon Brando, James Dean, How to Draw a Bunny and so much more.

I hope you might get the chance to catch a few of these programs.  In addition to excellence in television viewing, the Ovation website also allows community viewers to submit their own artwork.  Seriously, check out Ovation TV... you will not be disappointed.

    - Audrey Heard, Art On Groton Bank

  • "I was just handed the most incredible magazine article that I think has ever been written about me. It is just fantastic and people are presenting me with copies of the magazine. Really beautifully written, really beautifully written and no one has ever put all the pieces together as nicely as you have. Thank you so much."

    - Matt Holmes, The Art Guide

  • "I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
