Your weekly dose of some good and interesting news from around

our World of Art, because We Love Art.

Virtual Tour of the J Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles

With more than 6,000 years’ worth of creative treasures, the Getty is one of the best places for art on the west coast of the US. Go from neolithic clay figures to Van Gogh’s Irises and Renoir’s La Promenade – just two of many artworks that feature in the virtual tour.

The Getty’s sunny sculpture plaza and garden terrace are worth adding to your digital trip, via another viewing platform, Xplorit.

Artist Of The Week by We Love Art

The best part of WLA is watching our Artlovers unleash their inner artists and leave us speechless. So it is time to show off what our community is creating all around the world.

Sabine Abdelsater

Meet our Artist of The Week, Sabine Abdelsater. Sabine has been to almost all of our Paint & Grapes for the last 2.5 years and always creates something completely unique.

The best part is her completely transforming the featured painting by giving it her own magical trust. We are proud of you Sabine and are beyond happy that you are part of the We Love Art community!

The Experience

Two and a half years of paint and Grape! Started with one friend and now I have up to 6 friends joining me.

Art has been my passion since a very young age. I first went to paint and grape in 2018 and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere and the concept. I am known to always go off-topic and do my own version of the painting. Paint & Grape allows me to use my creativity and to share my passion with my friends. – Sabine

ArtLovers Quote Of The Week

“Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.” – Claude Monet

We Love Art Painting of The Week

Café Terrace at Night is an 1888 oil painting by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. This is the first painting in which he used a starry background. The constellations are depicted with such fidelity to be able to precisely date the creation of the painting to 16-17 Sept 1888.

Although a night scene, the painting is devoid of the color black. “Café Terrace at Night” ranks second in a list of the top ten most reproduced artworks from 2000 to 2010.
