WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF:
You were one of the rock star artists of your era, and you knew your best friend was trying to destroy you and your family?
You can’t flee your city nor can you escape the control of the government and the power brokers.
You only have one weapon: your art
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Hi, my name is Elizabeth Garner, and through the strangest twist of fate, I tripped over what is the greatest art hoax in the last millenium, perpetrated by Germany’s most famous artist, Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528).
Everyone asks me how this strange journey occurred. I returned to school to pursue a Fine Arts degree. One of my Professor’s favorite artist was Albrecht Dürer . I was late to class on the day she handed out the master drawings to copy for homework. So I never learned the name of the artist I was copying.
Thus, as I replicated Albrecht Dürer’s technique, his unique style was imprinting on my brain, but I had no idea that it was Dürer.
A couple of years later, I found myself strangely attracted to Albrecht Dürer prints and I couldn’t understand my sudden fascination with his work. I became an Albrecht Dürer art collector.
When I found the first irrefutable embedded code in one of Dürer’s prints, I was determined to unravel the mystery of what he was telling us.
Move over, Dan Brown! Truth is stranger than fiction.

I see THE DÜRER CODE in your question: “What would you do if…?” I think you made DÜRER happy, because the artists never seek the favor to their names but wish people would recognize themselves in the artistic visions and would reply to the Light with their personal life.
Your discovery of DÜRER after so many years since the picture was made gifts as me as many around some hope for the breakup through current silence will become the reality of a hug one day
Sincerely Yours Art by Tomas

Thank you Tomas for recognizing that the entire myth about Durer needs to be exposed, shaken up, and the paradigm has to shift about what this genius was really doing, recognizing the messages he was passing to the world, which many times was subversive, and that he commands a whole new respect for talents previously unrecognized. Art History will change dramatically.
When an electronic version of the next exhibition with opens Oct 8-Nov 23 at the Rebecca Randall Bran Art Gallery at Carolina Coastal University in South Carolina, I will be adding a link to that here.

Nice blog, and great effort bringing the collection to Coastal Carolina University, keep up the interesting work, and I look forward to hearing more about the Dürer Cypher one day. PS I enjoyed quickly chatting with you about The Apocalypse.
Thank you Cory. It was also my pleasure meeting you also!
Please note my observation, Melencolia I is possibly the most magical of Dürer’s engravings: a universal masterpiece.
I stumbled on your blog while researching Dürer for a paper for my Museum Studies class. Although I haven’t had an opportunity to read through all of your posts, I just wanted to let you know that I am looking forward to learning more about this theory and about Dürer in general.
Great blog, very well written, and fascinating subject.
the answer to melencolia is = Iron…
its a prevision/extrapolation that there will be a big bang. The fire that brought out the first Iron started a process wich is still running against life. Big bang=nuclear. Art/magic is the anti-process.
So this painting is a look into the future and hey he was right. a genius.
there are many codes and informations in his paintings and some paintings belong together or they
are complete when you put the codes together. The “Stone of the Wise” is allegedly hidden in one of his paintings. And a lot more. He was better than Da Vinci
What a fascinating idea. Do tell us more.
There is no doubt that at the first layer of meaning, Melencolia is a tribute to Durer’s family, especially his mother and co artist sister.
But that doesn’t preclude another layer of meaning on top of that.
I would really like to hear your theories here in more detail. You could be right.
