Welcome to the Studio of the South blog!  After working for several years on the Van Gogh Gallery blog, we have decided to expand our blog network and create a Studio of the South blog as a platform for discussions on art news and famous artists including, but not limited to, Vincent van Gogh. 

Just as Vincent van Gogh’s plan was to create a collaborative artist community called the Studio of the South, so too is our plan for the Studio of the South site and blog.  As the hub for recent news and site updates and a forum for discussions on famous artworks, artists and art authentication, this blog will keep you informed and connected as we journey through the world of art.

A new art blog that will cover a broad range of styles.
