Arts and Graphics part 1 ///////////////////////// Anime - Web page http://www.umich.edu/~tld/others.html Hip home page has tons of other Anime links. Way cool stuff here! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANIME-niac Web Page http://www.cris.com/~Alkelly An upstart on the anime scene. Promises to be a great site. Has many links so far and it just keeps getting better and better. Check this out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Japanese Anime Page http://interactive.line.com/~cyber/cyber/anime Holy anime-page Batman! Gadzooks! This web page has literally hundreds of links to seemingly every known anime page in the universe. You'll surf for days and weeks on end with this one. I do not think there is another anime site out there that can top this one for sheer numbers of other links. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Egon Schiele Anime Page http://sunsite.unc.edu/louvre/paint/auth/schiele http://www.labri.u-bordeaux.fr/~goudal/Musee/Schiele/Schiele.html One of the true masters of anime. This has to be seen to be believed. Even people who don't particularly like the genre wind up appreciating what Schiele has to offer. Agonizingly beautiful. The images willstay with you long after your journey here has ended. Tres bien. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art web sites http://www.art.net/ http://www.art.net/links.html Links to all sorts of arts and fine-arts related sites. Includes many virtual galleries and also has fine galleries of Avant-Garde art works. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthole http://www.mcs.net/~wallach/paris/panic1.html An eclectic mix of art from around the world featuring original works. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Place http://gertrude.art.uiuc.edu/ludgate/the/place.html Another collection of digital art. Way cool and filled with original works. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art Liaison Virtual Gallery Gopher to: artspeak.dorsal.org This site is just getting started so be patient - it's a project that's still under progress. It is a visually rich site but unfortunately the gopher site has you download images before viewing. A web site is planned but it would be nice to also maintain the gopher site as well. Many folks do not have access to the WWW so a gopher site alernative is always nice. Besides being graphically rich, there are art auction announcements, theme topics and classified ads section. There is also a forum where you can fell free to express your ideas on art related subjects. Everyone hopes that this site will be as good as the promise it shows now. Check it out and then come back and visit later - watch a fine project in developement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Temple University Gallery of the ARTS http://betty.music.temple.edu Another well done home page with many links to other fine-arts sites and fine-arts information related sites. (Go Temple Owls!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clip-Art site(s) Stanford U. has made a whole collection (450K) available: http://www-pcd.stanford.edu/gifs/gifs.tar.Z http://www-pcd.stanford.edu/gifs/gifs.zip Try also this private site (containing other pointers): http://colargol.edb.tih.no/~geirme/gizmos/gizmo.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Project Solon http://www.csulb.edu:80/~solon/ Is it an art exhibit or a cafe? Well... it's a little of both. Solon is your host as you enter into "Coffee Talk" and then find tons of links to coffee related pages. You'll find an exhaustive listing of coffeehouses, cafes, coffee recipes, coffee related links and even coffee related sounds! You can also choose to head into Solon's digital "Art Gallery" and see some of the work that is exhibited there. I liked the Coffee Talk section much better than the Art Gallery but you be the judge... In any case the Coffee section and its links are worth the trip alone. Cream and sugar? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plugged In: Young artists work site http://www.plugged.org Young children display their work online. The ages range from 4 years old to 12 years old and although the quality may not be awesome the thought and content truly is.

Of course, as you might expect, there are hundreds of images to be seen and each one is more and more compelling as you become drawn into the exhibit. The graphic format is done well so you won't be waiting forever for images to download to your screen. The liberal use of thumbnails also makes for quick and effiecient viewing. A must see for all those interested in photography and a must see for anyone interested in seeing the pictures and learning the story of one of the premier photographers of our time. Fascinating! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTIS Home Page http://sunsite.unc.edu/otis/otis.html A hip online gallery that always stays "fresh" and up to date. New works and new artists are always to be seen here and there is everthing from traditional works of art to post-modern and beyond.

Everything that is art is acceptable and shown here from charcoal to pen and ink to oils to Math art or "fractal art" (images generated by math formulas). You are allowed to download artworks or print them out - no royalty fees here. There are numerous links to the home pages of other artists and many of these pages encourage you to write your ideas and comments concerning their works on web form pages. You can learn a lot about these artists as the pages contain brief bio's, music and of course art. A truly sharing environment and a hip, open style make this a MUST SEE for all web surfers and for those directly interested in art or who are artists themselves - GET HERE PRONTO! I can't say enough how great this journey is! The ambiance is never condescending and all are invited. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Israel Museum http://www.macom.co.il/museum Fantastic archive and photographic exhibit.

Another virtual vacation --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ICONS web page http://www.di.unipi.it/iconbrowser/icons.html OK - so you're too lazy to make your own icons.

This is a professional tool. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Putrid Afterthought http://www.bazaar.com/Art/mendoza.html Not for the faint of heart. Truly a self-named "cesspool of hyper-reality" Shocking and engaging - like looking at a horrible motor vehicle accident. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pompidou Center http://www.cnac-gp.fr/horaires.html Computer artist Lillian Schwartz exhibits her finely rendered work on the web. The site is in French but the art work transcends all languages. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SnakeByte Fractals http://www.packet.net/business/artwhere/ SnakeByte Fractal Note Cards are now available at Artwhere and they are mondo cool!

THE ART BIN features classics like Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Smith or Marx in the original languages, but also more rare material like the fragments of Novalis (in German) and the Exercises in style by Raymond Queneau (in French).

The Museum is justly proud of the some 26,000 works in its Permanent Collection, which has established its reputation worldwide. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHOTONet http://www.scotborders.co.uk/photon/netindex.html A truly beautiful rendered experience. From a Photon magazine of Scotland comes an unbelievable well done index of fantastic photos from sites all over the world. A virtual travelogue of interesting photos well rendered for view on the WWW. It really doesn't get better than this... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Kraft Homepage http://www.pic.net/~ckraft Professional photographer Chris Kraft (Rolling Stone, Time Magazine and many other publications) has put up his personal homepage and will give viewers a chance to see his many photo offerings and personal favorites. If it's anything like his work in Rolling Stone and Time then this site is sure to be a winner.

Black and white, color, impressionary, digital, and all sorts of goodies are here. Check it out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digital-Picture Archive http://olt.et.tudelft.nl/fun/pictures/pictures.html A rather extensive collection of pictures in GIF and JPEG format from a Netherlands based server.

The images are mystifyingly beautiful in a serene yet haunting way. I am not one to offer judgemental decisions and so you're own your own after you reach this destination. Everyone who visits sees Paradox in a different way and I defy you to explain everything you see with rational mind. It sounds odd but these are images that you feel rather than see. You have to see this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vietnam Pictures archive http://sunsite.unc.edu/vietnam/vnpic.html Various graphics relating to Vietnam. Well run archive. Lots of Pics! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Treasures of the Czars http://www.times.st-pete.fl.us/Treasures/TC.Lobby.html If this were just a wonderful exhibit of Romanov art and treasures then it would be a fantastic virtual art exhibit to explore. But it's even more than that! Not only does this site contain a virtual exhibit filled with eleven galleries to see - it also offers insights and info into the Russian culture and what life was like in the time of the Czars. This is both a visually stimulating and educational tour brought to you by the Florida International Museum at St. Petersburg.

Text files, drawings, diagrams, etc. This is a great place to start finding out about arcitecture and architectural design. You may ask, "Why is this topic in this section?" My reply is that I feel that architecture and architectural design is an artform unto itself and so I choose to place this information in this section of BIGSURF. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Library of Architecture (from the World Wide Web Virtual Library) http://www.clr.toronto.edu:1080/VIRTUALLIB/arch.html Lots of links to architectural related resources. This site includes an easy to use search engine so you can find a particular site or information you need. This is one of the best web sites to start your architectural surfing adventures. Pictures, texts and historical perspectives are all included and the linked sites are all very informative and well done. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photo Perspectives Museum http://www.i3tele.com/ This is a powerful image-filled site that is like "LIFE" Magazine only better. Photo journalistic efforts combine text and pictures with topics that are varied. It is one thing to read, for example, about the plight of people in Yugoslavia but it is another to view powerful images while you read. I really enjoyed this "museum" but it is rather a fine exhibtion of photo-journalism that will keep you informed and interested. Excellent. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
