2012 SEMINAR INFORMATION

As one of Professor Philip's representatives, I am happy to announce his 2012 Austria schedule and upcoming 2012 Workshops.

We are setting his 2012 Calendar.
If you or someone you know would like to study with one of today's greatest living Masters (and funny, genuinely wonderful teacher), we are booking events in the U.S. now for 2012. If you have 25 or more people, we may be able to arrange a workshop in your area!!!
Contact Lisa Rhyne for more information on how to host an event with Prof. Phil at Lisa@TheDreamMasters.org.

This is a chance of a lifetime. You can go to the library and read his books...or go study with him LIVE. Some things cannot be taught from books or in a conventional classroom. For any serious Artist, this is a MUST experience for your resume, work and life. If you cannot make it to Austria, contact Lisa for other U.S. locations and dates and to get on the Events List. He does very few events.

And now...A word from Prof. Phil....

My intention is to create and connect a series of events to include workshops, seminars, exhibitions, book signings and a 'new' book entitled something like "THE CREATIVE MANSION - Roots and Regeneration" serving as a matrix on the THEMES running through all the offerings below- each weaving a thread that culminates with a visionary tapestry at the Phantasten Museum Wien.

THE MASTER CLASS at CASTLE WARTHOLZ

All artists are invited to participate in the Exhibition at Castle Wartholz
"The Creative Mansion - Roots and Regeneration"
(August 15 - 25, 2012 -unconfirmed)

This is where it all began. Ernst Fuchs held some of his very first seminars here at Castle Wartholz in 1973 and 1974. After that, the castle was empty of life for decades until Herr Christian Blazek restored it too 'beyond' it's orginal beauty and grace. Through his generousity and love for the Arts we have this rare opportunity to 'return to the roots' of our lineage. A special presentation of Prof. Phil's second book in the German language will also take place at the 'Vernisage' or grand opening of the exhibition. Some of the artists particpating in this seminar and exhibition may also be selected to exhibit at the Phantasten Museum in Wien at the Palffy Palace. See more information below.

Along with 12 other artists from all over the world, I attended the 2004 Old Masters New Visions Seminar in Viechtach, Germany in June, and want to share what an exceptional experience it was. It was taught by Prof. Philip Rubinov-Jacobson, whose instruction was superb. He gave clear explanations and demonstrations, followed by ample studio hours. He had a well organized plan allowing us to do several different paintings during the course of the 3 weeks. There was great individual attention. In fact, I think this is an aspect of Phil's abilities that is truly outstanding. He can zero in on one's strengths and weaknesses, and offer solid guidance in a gentle manner - and always with lots of humor.
   
As a group, we laughed often, we got along, we let each other paint, we made good friends. The group was really talented and productive, and it was so inspiring to watch the various paintings as they developed. Phil had several dynamic paintings in various stages of completion, that he worked on whenever he wasn't making the rounds by our easels. It was very helpful to watch his fearless approach and the way he handles a brush. His knowledge of color, history, techniques, and all matter of marvelous trivia is astounding. He generously let us use his paints when his unusual colors would help us with what we were creating.
   
A local artist, Reinhard Schmid, was instrumental in organizing this event. He got the mayor of the town fully involved, which resulted in a special rate at the hotel, easels that were made just for us, printed color brochures, and press coverage of our exhibition. The mayor invited us all to an elegant dinner. We felt like royalty. Reinhard is a masterful artist, and he has a museum that houses the town's Egyptian art collection along with his own fine paintings. He invited us for a personal tour of the historic building. He explained the displays and replicas, and then his own room of glass paintings of the tarot deck.
   
De Es Schwertberger arrived from Vienna, as a guest artist, and took part in the exhibition. He also gave us a Power Point presentation of his body of work, explaining the evolution of his paintings and philosophy. We were in awe of his prolific and enlightened genius.
   
Our Hotel Schmaus was right on the main square and very nice, with big rooms and friendly staff. Co-Owner Martina Schmaus was always around to answer questions and help us find what we needed. Her husband was the head chef, so this was a place run with a very personal touch.There was a heavenly pool and sauna, fine dining, great coffee. Our studio space was glorious, with high ceilings, a wall of windows about 15 feet high that opened for ventilation.
   
The view was expansive, a panorama of green Bavarian hills. The weather was divine, about 65 degrees most days with showers that passed quickly followed by sunshine. The people of the town were very friendly and happy to host this group of artists. We had an exhibition in the old town hall, a refurbished historic building that was equipped perfectly for an art exhibition. It had halogen lighting, white walls, big windows. There was a very elegant opening with press coverage, speeches, presentations, awards, very good food and drink.
   
We visited Munich's fine art museums, where Professor Phil gave us very informative explanations regarding the use of the Mische technique in some of the masterpieces. Another day we went to the ruins of a picturesque castle, saw the Glass Forest, hiked up a rocky mountain where we could see to the Czech Republic, then hiked down through the Bavarian Forest. One of the German artists invited us to her home, where we were completely enchanted by her creative world. She provided wine and fine food amidst a colorful fantasy of flowers and sculptures.
   
The final day of the seminar was capped off by the town's festival celebrating its 900th anniversary. After watching a procession of oompah musicians and renaissance characters, we sat at long tables and ate grilled chickens. At one game booth, boys bowled using wooden balls and pins, much as it must have been done centuries ago. The dancers performed medieval steps on the stage while around the corner a German group played perfect country western music from the USA. There was even an Elvis impersonator in the wee hours! Hundreds of doves were released into the sky as we all cried out in delight, and nature provided us with a lovely rainbow over our hotel as a fitting farewell.
