Welcome to New Sensations! This blog is about things I find interesting, and lots about films I have seen. It's probably more of a diary than anything else, but I'm glad you have stumbled by. The name, New Sensations, comes from the Lou Reed song from the album of the same name. Lou sings, "I want to eradicate my negative views, and get rid of those people who are always on a down". Hope you do, too. Btw, I use buffalo wings for rating things, 5 being the best.

Artist of the Day: Michael Andrews (1922-1995)
Michael Andrews was an English artist who evidently was part of what would be known as The London School, which, according to The A-Z of Art, was dedicated to the human form. He became celebrated in the '60's because of his paintings of the London bohemian scene. He lived his life as a Zen Buddhist. Michael shares my October 30th birthday, like you care. At first, I didn't think much of the paintings I saw, but the more I looked at Colony Room 1, the more I liked it. I would like to see some of his work live.
