It's funny how blisteringly incorrect Page Six is in their quest for sensational gossip. They miss the big story when they stoop so low. The image in question isn't a shot from a deleted scene in the movie, and was never before censors, but a photograph taken by the brilliant Austrian artist, Gottfried Helnwein. It's reason enough to buy the CD, and reason entirely that WalMart won't carry the CD. ...

Helnwein
by Mic Moroney
...This unease with, and yet celebration of German-language cutlure continues to inform Helnwein's work, not least in this large piece, "The Silent Glow of the Avant Garde"
Helnwein's painting - both cheekily and totally in homage - appropriates the great paintings, "The Polar Sea" (1824) by the leading German Romantic landscape artist Casper David Friedrich. Helnwein here re-renders the painting in a gloomy, cinematic blue-black duochrome, and hugely magnifies it from its original scale (about 1 metre by 1 metre 30), although the foundered ship still seems dwarfed and pulverised by the splintering ice sheets. It remains a fine example of that particularly Germanic celebration of heroic humanity dashing itself against the majestic cruelty of nature.
Helnwein, in his wry title and borrowing of the image, is suggesting an uncomfortable paradigm behind Friedrich's painting - a perpetual sense of momentous revolution within nature, raw humanity and indeed artistic culture. These ideas pervaded Friedrich's work, as well as that of composer Richard Wagner and philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche - all of whose works were later so mistakenly absorbed into the "superhuman" aesthetic of Nazi ideaology and doctrine... ...

PRESENT: A crowd described as groovy and Hollywoodish -including actor/skateboarder Jason Lee - turned up Thursday for the opening of Austrian-born L.A.-and-Ireland resident Gottfried Helnwein's show at Modernism in San Francisco. Sean Penn was said to have bought three paintings. ...

THE FRENCH SAY, "CONDEMNANT IL FAIT Q'UOD": "WE CONDEMN WHAT WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND." BUT THAT STOPS RIGHT HERE. LAY YOUR OPINIONS OF THE MAN TO REST UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE READ THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION BETWEEN CYRIL HELNWEIN AND MARILYN MANSON

Manson:
Of course, for everybody who reads this – they won’t know that our meeting has been very important to my career, because you introduced me to your father (Gottfried Helnwein) and we'’ve gone and will go on to do lots of great stuff together.
So that’s the behind-the-scenes story for everybody who’'s going to read this.. ...

A: Welche Maler und bildenden Künstler haben dich am meisten beeinflusst?
Manson: Egon Schiele, Gottfried Helnwein, Luis Buñuel, Dalí, [Hieronymus] Bosch, Warhol, Mark Ryden, Fellini. Und so weiter...
A: Wie weit sind die Studioarbeiten an dem neuen Album (The Golden Age of Grotesque) fortgeschritten? Sind die Aufnahmen abgeschlossen?
Manson: Ja, jetzt geht es in den Mix.
A: Hast du Interesse an der Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Künstlern (abgesehen von Tim Skold) an neuen Projekten?
Manson: Vielleicht mit Felix Da House Kat. D12 versuchen schon länger mit mir was zu machen. Ich bin aber zur Zeit ganz mit Helnwein und einigen damit verbundenen Projekten beschäftigt. Es kommt wirklich auf die Umstände an. Ich mag es nicht Musik außerhalb der Band zu machen. Das wird einfach zu unkoordiniert. ...

Cette semaine a été longue et je me suis posé à l'hôpital suite en allant trop loin dans le processus de création. Je suis en pleine forme maintenant et heureux d'être de retour dans le studio. Nous venons d'achever la dernière trace de l'album et c'est mon favori jusqu'ici. J'ai aussi commencé une série de peintures grandeur nature de la mort bizarre d'Elisabeth Short. Elle m'a hanté toute ma vie. En parlant de peintures, j'ai acquis un portrait de Marlene Dietrich de Helnwein qui est signé par elle même . C'est une des choses les plus étonnantes que j'ai jamais vues. Si l'humanité est illustrée, sommes nous des crayons ou des gommes à effacer ? Écrivez le score ? Ou la putain juste ?
