Sculpture children's drawings. Portraits made of metal mesh. Multi-level painted sculptures

Therefore, the statement that tastes are not discussed because they are individual and not entirely rational, we do not know why certain works of art are pleasant and others are not. Issues related to the perception of art, its composition and execution technique undoubtedly determine the value of a work of art. However, with such considerations in mind, it is worth paying attention to a less noticeable factor - the creation of the artist's own style. This is extremely important because it draws attention to a unique language of artistic expression.

However, to judge the painting of Epiphanius Undicus, called Nikephoros, his drawings are unique and cannot be confused with the works of another artist, like sculpture, just look at the carved human body, its beauty and fragility, so there is no doubt that we should work with the works of Igor Mitoraj. Likewise, in music, it only takes a few guitar sounds to know that we are listening to Patou Metheny. Perhaps creating your own language of expression in art does not guarantee that we are dealing with a masterpiece, but it is a sign that the artist creates individual and unique works that can be enjoyed.

These artists include the work of Valerie Hadid, a contemporary French sculptor. One look at her drawings and sculptures is enough not to be mistaken about who their author is. The road to Valerie Hadida's sculpture was quite unusual, since the adventure with art began with drawing. As the artist herself admits, her mother, who taught graphics in high school, brought home pencils, markers and paper, little Valerie loved to draw her characters for fairy tales. This innocent fun turned into a passion for the world of animation, so after finishing school she decided to study at the School of Visual Arts and Advertising in Paris.

There she also came into contact with companies producing animated films. To everyone's surprise, Valerie Hadida refused because she already knew that animation and drawing would not be enough. She wanted a deeper contact with art than just making fairy tales for children. She chose the difficult path because he decided to make a sculpture. However, she did not abandon her previous activities, she created a series of works that seem to correspond to the artist's fantastic imagination.

However, there is more to Hadid's sculptures. Her fragile and sad characters of girls with a storm of hair move the bridge between realistic visualization and imagination, each sculpture shows the fragile side of femininity, slender lines, airy outfits and characteristically shown hair are distinctive feature sculptures and represent an emotional look at a slightly different side of femininity. Usually the process of creating a sculpture is preceded by a series of sketches, which the artist later combines with the final sculpture in bronze.

This is important because it shows how beautifully the sculpture could be given original idea, outlined in the drawing, sometimes it seems that the sculpture was made first, and then the drawings were based on it. Valerie Hadida created her own characteristic and recognizable figures, somewhat similar to the style of painting by Jerzy Duda-Graz. Valerie Hadida's work may not be everyone's cup of tea, but you can definitely say that the French artist has managed to create his own unique style in sculpture.

For his achievements, the artist received a Foundation Prize. The object is formed by a dragon in full relief with a pedestal decorated with equestrian figures and garlands. His father, Domenico Calzetta, was probably a sculptor, and he may have been related to two artists of the same name working in Mantegna's circle in Padua: Pietro Calzetta and Francesco Calzetta. Severo appears to have divided his time between Padua, Ferrara and Ravenna, where he was first recorded in his treatise De sculpture.

The Neapolitan art theorist Pomponius Gauricus singled out Severo for special mention at the end of his section on bronze sculpture, suggesting that he was a renowned bronze sculptor by then, although no specific work is mentioned. Stand formed by a dragon; pedestal decorated with equestrian figures and garlands.

Inventory of art objects purchased per year. An inventory of objects in the art department of the South Kensington Museum, organized according to the dates of their acquisition. Eric Kruskopf Philosopher. doctor, Finnish He once wrote his first children's book for a princess tale, which, although unconventional, allowed his hair to be cut short. Fifteen years ago it was undoubtedly the answer to a fashion cry: short hair was the high jacket of young emancipated women in the late 1920s.

This book, consisting of carefully drawn drawings and short texts, each of which has its own, was taken away by the mother to the publisher. Although it was her friend - her mother of Swedish origin was a professional book designer and artist, but did not accept the manuscript. The tale is “too modern,” he explained. For the second time, the future, now as a cartoonist, made its debut in the satirical magazine Helsinki Gram. For her mother, a regular contributor to the magazine, the editor probably didn't agree to accept the cartoon.

It was unusual for a magazine printed in Swedish, a minority language, and aimed at the Swedish-speaking Helsinki bourgeoisie, to have such colleagues, and, besides, there was a pun. Here you see two women, young and old, sculpted woman's head sculptures standing in a tall art display on a pedestal. She admired: “Oh, what a beautiful head!” The daughter replied: “Empty your head, take a better look at the lines.” Again, the student's eye for that style of the fair sex was the essence of this work, but it seemed too daring for a children's book publisher and was taken as a joke in a humor magazine.

But let's take a closer look at this drawing. This is largely due to the fact that the world's most published interesting magazines and world magazines for newspapers. Here are links to Sine and Janson's mother's style, and this is in no way surprising: Sine loved his mother, and, having seen him work all night on illustrations to replenish the family budget, he was soon saddened to relieve him hard work. The picture was in a natural way expressions in a family where the father was a sculptor, the mother an artist, and almost all the friends who visited their home were men.

But in his apparent talent there is a glimpse of the humorous situation in the first cartoon his father printed. In her opinion, the situation in an art gallery is common, and the drawing has no additional strikers - only two figures, and both eyes point to the sculpture on an elegant pedestal.

But the most important thing is not the drawing itself, but the words spoken by the daughter, who is more interested in fashion than sculpture. On the other hand, Pun wouldn't exist without the video. Such caricatured wisdom can only be created by a person who is wise enough to see humor and convey it in word and image.

When the first cartoon appeared in Garm magazine, Tuva Yanson was studying in the so-called high school- finished top level, i.e. last compulsory school year. She had to choose where to study. No hesitation should have been associated with the menu.

During those years, Father Janson developed not only as an artist. With the first cartoon in Garm magazine, she found an appetite for many: drawing was fun, seeing the prints, and getting paid for them was even fun. From that day on he became a permanent assistant to the magazine; this not only creates cartoons in itself, but also illustrates the jokes that the editor will provide - not only jokes, but articles, chronicles, stories, poems and satire. His creative range soon expands to other newspapers, magazines and annual publications in Helsinki.

Sometimes she develops short stories, and their illustrations simply surpass themselves: the interplay of verbal and visual expression has become the starting point for her creative imagination. Apparently the plot and environment partially preserved, and many others indicate that the history is not the most important.

In the near future, Janson's creative imagination works in tandem with a keen observation of reality, so that the combination of concepts and words combines and enhances artistic expression. It was presented in most Finnish art exhibitions not only in Finland, but also abroad. However international relationships were weak during the war and post-war years, and in Helsinki, as in other places, difficult times could not help but leave traces: many artists died in the war, there was not enough artwork, and the art world grew to brighter days.

In the near future, Janson's paintings, on the one hand, have a very low level military tactics; it became almost timeless, often with flowers, interiors, sometimes people and a few portraits. A pair of self-portraits and three other portraits constitute the best works of this period; but portrait is not her genre, and some flower arrangements reminiscent of the reality of escapist hide and seek, which was too cruel. She called her two brothers into the army, wounded the elder twice, her good friend was interned for political reasons, and she was forced to leave her homeland as a member of the peace campaign.

But in vain you look for these reflections in your painting. The only place where it was impossible to hide political views was the magazine Garm, in which Tuva published many satyr mustaches. From these drawings it is clear that she was not trying to avoid anything; on the contrary, her cartoons were most strongly regarded by Russian and German critics, published in Finland that year. It was probably only due to the very small circulation of the magazine and the fact that it was in Swedish that Garm did not survive the fate of many others simple measures mass communication - to be prohibited from censorship.
