About me

Introduction	A blog where invited artists show that they stand in a tradition by expressing their commitment to an inspiring, no longer living predecessor. Nothing But Good Should Be Said Of The Dead. A blog founded in 2012 by visual artists Michael de Kok, René Korten and Reinoud van Vught, now run by René Korten.
Interests	'No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists. You cannot value him alone; you must set him, for contrast and comparison, among the dead….[W]hat happens when a new work of art is created is something that happens simultaneously to all the works of art which preceded it.' T.S. Eliot, from his essay 'Tradition and the Individual Talent', 1919
