After months of reading of serious stuff like race, gender, prejudice and search for meaning of life, “Girl with a Pearl Earring” might be a diversion and will lead us to intimacy of an artist’s studio and into the intriguing details of creation of art work. (It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, yet there is homework you have to complete)
作业：Everyone is required to do it each week ( 每人至少发言一次)
第一星期：四月10 -17《你所知道的维米尔》—Online post
Do some research online and make a post, ask a question, or make comments on existing posts about Johannes Vermeer, his life, his works, and significance of his paintings.
1st item on our agenda--
话不过三: 3 facts about Vermeer, of his time, life, family, and significance of his paintings. Everyone is required to make 3 statements, no more or no less, and no repetition of what other people have said. So be familiar with Vermeer as much as possible.

抛砖引玉：what set Vermeer apart from other painters at his time?
what were paintings like before Vermeer?
Wth 11 children , no wonder he'd gone bankrupt,and produced only 80 some paintings. so many less than the other painters at his time.
There was so little archival material about Vermeer. About how many paintings he did in his life time still remains a mystery, even though only 35-36 paintings have been credited to him.
I found an online site that I liked; it includes many Vermeer's work. Looking at his paiting now, while reading the imagined life of his in the Earing book, created a nice taste and satisfaction.
Take a look at the Kitchen Maid. The combination of the still moment of her life and the flowing of the milk is simply stunning.

作业：
维米尔荷兰的画家，寿命43岁。生活在荷兰的一个小城市。
作品不多，才35幅，为什么？是不是被他的好朋友收藏了？还是孩子太多，没有时间画画。
书中的主体作品，女孩子的面目表情是神秘的，深刻的，天真的，诱惑的， 是不是这位女孩子爱上了维米尔？
Johannes Vermeer or Jan Vermeer (baptized October 31, 1632, died December 15, 1675) was a Dutch Baroque painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of ordinary life. His entire life was spent in the town of Delft. Vermeer was a moderately successful provincial painter in his lifetime. He seems to have never been particularly wealthy, perhaps due to the fact that he produced relatively few paintings, leaving his wife and eleven children in debt at his death.

大雁讲得很好。谢谢。
谁来讲讲维米尔对艺术界的贡献是什么? 什么是Dutch Golden Age？维米尔和他同时代的画家有什么区别？
大家找的都是英文资料,我贴一个中文的.

Good job! 紫罗兰。
The Dutch Golden Age
主要指的是17世纪荷兰的贸易，科学和艺术在世界上的辉煌年代.
The Dutch Golden Age refers to a period in the Holland, roughly spanning the 17th century in which Dutch trade, science and art were among the most acclaimed in the world.
When you visit these cities, make sure to see his paintings:

维米尔绘画三个特点：
1）无意于情节上的引人入胜，而是着力从平凡、普通的生活场面中发掘诗意。维米尔显然没有伦勃朗的雄厚博大，也不如哈尔斯那样豪放不羁，但却颇能以朴实真挚的抒情打动人心。
2）维米尔绘画的特点之二是作品充满神秘感.
3）表现手法中运用漫射光线的微妙变化。在表现物体的质地、色彩和形状上达到了煞费苦心的绝对精确，却又不使画面看起来有任何费力或刺目之处。
我看完书后觉得维米尔这个画家是一个正人君子，除了正直以外还挺内向，是个爱察颜观色善思考且是一个有责任心人。为什么哪？等开会时再讲。但是我看完电影后，对维米尔有了一些负面的印象。我感觉得他的做法有点误导女孩子的感情。如果想讨论就等到开会时吧。
Very impressive! Hats off to all of you.
