Von who? Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, that's who. I had never heard of the late painter when I was first approached by Silicon Valley publishing company Too Far Independent Media about producing a web site for his work, but when I saw a glimpse of his paintings I was instantly excited about the project.
VonBruenchenhein.com just launched "officially" this past week. That means we can all take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy Eugene's wonderfully detailed paintings in extremely high-resolution images, and in a new full-screen, zoomable format that Too Far and PERSONE had pioneered for the François Burland Art Brut gallery relating to experimental storyteller and project visionary Rich Shapero's project Wild Animus.
The coolest thing about the site, imho, is hands-down, the full-screen gallery itself. That is besides EVB's handiwork...which goes without saying. So click into the gallery index and select any of 22 conceptually titled galleries, within which are selections of EVB's paintings. Next click the FULL SCREEN VIEW button on the bottom right of any of the gallery image pages, and you'll be transported into a hi-definition version of online gallery viewing.
Depending on what your screen size is you're in for a treat. The images are up to 300 dpi and some have actual painting size dimensions...so, we're talking VERY high resolution, and also VERY, VERY, VERY, DETAILED! The navigational element expands with mouseover offering a limited set of zooming and navigational controls, and it also pops open a larger menu with gallery navigation, gallery index, downloads, and even an audio player to listen to the late Eugene Von Bruenchenhein himself while browsing his art.
