I was very sad. Rest In Peace dear Ernst!<br />Our "painter prince" Ernst Fuchs - known for its colorful surreal imagery - has died at the age of 85 in Vienna. Fuchs, who was since childhood a drawing prodigy - already at the age of 15 he produced mature work - was co-founder of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism.<br />I had the privilege to have been a studio neighbor of Ernst at the Palais Palffy for a few years, spending time in conversations (me mostly listening) and singing Viennese folk songs together at the top of our lungs downstairs in the Cafe to the amusement of the patrons. Everybody in Vienna knew him, he was very friendly and patient with people. Fluent in English and French he would talk to visiting tourists and was always ready taking selfies, though he hated flash, so I warned people not to take flash pictures. <br />I was very sad when he passed away, because I vividly remember when last I visited him at the Villa - he was ailing then and in sickbed, but he was always happy to even then greet visitors. That day, I think sometime late October, he appeared tired, and I had some errands to run, so I said I come back on the weekend again. As faith would have it, I had a health problem shortly thereafter and could not visit. <br />Then the shock: I got news that he passed away!"ART OF THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622255287965218573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379723752075179191.post-66907069176269381432016-04-05T03:39:03.747-06:002016-04-05T03:39:03.747-06:00I had questions regarding shipping when I posted t...I had questions regarding shipping when I posted this on Facebook. Here is the answer I gave to a question from someone within the EU:<br />unfortunately - this is not under my control: they (MyWear) started last year. It likely has to do with setting up sales tax with the billing, and so far, only the countries listed can be shipped to. I am in the same boat: no shipping to Austria either (closest for either you and me would be Germany, so if you have a friend there ... once in the EU, there are no customs and tax hurdles to go through to forward a shipment, though it would cost extra in shipping charges your friend incurs). <br />But my other stores I listed (links are on the blog page near the bottom) all ship world-wide.ART OF THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622255287965218573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379723752075179191.post-6886384971671703802015-12-02T18:02:48.075-07:002015-12-02T18:02:48.075-07:00I wrote an Update for this here, seems there are n...I wrote an Update for this here, seems there are new developments happening:<br /><br /><a href="http://4art.com/profiles/blogs/how-to-succeed-in-contemporary-art-without-really-trying-update" rel="nofollow">http://4art.com/profiles/blogs/how-to-succeed-in-contemporary-art-without-really-trying-update</a>ART OF THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622255287965218573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379723752075179191.post-64918681964602880102015-10-01T03:00:34.420-06:002015-10-01T03:00:34.420-06:00From all accounts it appears now that works had be...From all accounts it appears now that works had been returned. I had received mine, though I needed to go to customs and explain that it was a return of my own work (and to the originating country, Austria), otherwise I would have been charged VAT. While time consuming, it was relatively easy (after waiting for a customs officer for over one hour, plus the trip to the outskirts of the city where the office was located) and done in less than one minute, once it was my turn. <br />I am glad that this ordeal is now over, but it strengthened my resolve to avoid participating in exhibitions outside my area, that is Schengen (EU).

Here is a e-mail I sent to the support team right after they got back on-line:<br />What is the matter with your platform? There was a MASSIVE OUTAGE just now!<br />Your support and everything else is hosted on the same platform, so you are totally cut off when you are down? How smart is that? Why don't you open a back-up e-mail account on, let say, g-mail so you can be reached? Why don't you IMMEDIATELY after you encounter a problem make relevant announcements on your Facebook page and Twitter account? Have a separate site on a different server/platform for your support? #facepalm ART OF THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622255287965218573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379723752075179191.post-23290681822661314522015-03-28T04:08:55.402-06:002015-03-28T04:08:55.402-06:00This should be proof positive that BLACK HOLES do ...This should be proof positive that BLACK HOLES do exist!ART OF THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622255287965218573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379723752075179191.post-5435220966970720272015-03-25T11:16:57.543-06:002015-03-25T11:16:57.543-06:00This is weirdThis is weirdBernard Dumainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17976083044007432950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379723752075179191.post-3784347988232258662014-04-25T06:51:23.558-06:002014-04-25T06:51:23.558-06:00Great article to complement this post: Why Art Bec...Great article to complement this post: <a href="http://www.atlassociety.org/why_art_became_ugly" rel="nofollow">Why Art Became Ugly</a>ART OF THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622255287965218573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379723752075179191.post-15928069034513250792014-03-10T06:01:13.549-06:002014-03-10T06:01:13.549-06:00Really Bogomil's Universe is cool.It is an ex...Really Bogomil's Universe is cool.It is an excursion into the realms of the "Inner Universe" - a parallel universe that exists in the mind, and glimpses thereof are presented here.
