Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    Torso Of A Warrior, Greek, about 470 BC. The color patterns are based on color remnants but the gilding of the “metal” armor is speculation based on the certain knowledge of surviving descriptions of classical writers that indicates it was common for metal effects to be reproduced by gilding. It is thought that in instances where saving money was an issue “metal” surfaces (on stone sculpture) was achieved by using yellow paint instead of gold.
