#art #history: can't resist a classic simone stink eye &, as i draw her every year on the anniversary of her birth, here's my tribute to her 'take no shit' glance.
most commonly associated with her seminal feminist oeuvre, 'the second sex', simone's philosophy was - true to its existential roots - humanist'; but it can be extended to all members of society, both human & non-human. in her words: 'one's life has value so long as one attributes value to the lives of others.'
#simoneDeBeauvoir

here, she looks off to her left with a look of bemusement on her face, legendary barnet sweeping elegantly from her skull.
above her head is a jaunty, angular speech box with a block of medium french blue inserted.
text reads: 'non, je n'en veux pas'.
simone is in black, white & grey.

TeePublic is having a sitewide sale until November 24! T-shirts starting at $16, including all my designs! A great chance to get ahead of the holiday shopping. Go to http://tee.pub/lic/kaminenmosher

#ArtOnStuff #PrintOnDemand #TShirt #art #BirdArt

A square layout of four rectangular images, two vertical and two horizontal. The vertical images are of abstract shapes printed on t-shirts: the one on the upper left is a wreath-like conflagration of overlapping lozenges in marigold yellow, orange, and blood red on a magenta t-shirt; the one on the lower right is a jumble of lozenges and squiggles in dark blue, grey violet, and pale violet on a steel blue t-shirt. The upper right horizontal rectangle reveals the partial image of bird illustrations printed on a heather green t-shirt; the birds are small tits painted in watercolour. The lower left rectangle shows a watercolour illustration of a willow tit resting on three bars of colour similar to the bird's colouring (sienna, grey violet, brown), printed on a dusky rose coloured t-shirt.

She Is an Icon of Finnish Art. Now Modernist Helene Schjerfbeck Takes a Global Stage

The Finnish master whose name you should know is the subject of a major solo at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

#art #history #womeninart

The Family Heirloom, 1916.

The painting depicts a figure in a contemplative, downward-gazing pose against a warm reddish-orange background. The figure wears what appears to be a dark hat or head covering with a yellowish accent, and their face is turned down, creating an introspective mood.

The figure is rendered in pale, muted tones of cream, white, and soft yellows, with loose, gestural brushwork that suggests form rather than defining it precisely. There are touches of red-orange appearing as accents on what might be the figure's clothing or body.

An eerie scene: a blurry gray landscape with a crooked road; a stormy sky filled with heavy fluorescent green clouds; and a greenish-white lighting bolt jumping from one side of the sky to the other. Balanced on the lightning bolt is a tightrope walker, walking along the lightning, holding a long balancing pole. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A bizarre object hovers above the rocky ground in a dull blue-green nether world. The object is dark blue, and looks like an asteroid made of rock and industrial garbage. It has craggy qualities, punctuated with holes, pipes, glowing green lights, and several antennae. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The Puzzling Genius of Albrecht Dürer’s “Melencolia I”

Melencolia I is one of the undisputed masterpieces of the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, which still fascinates and puzzles with its complex symbolism.

by Anastasiia Kirpalov

https://www.thecollector.com/melencolia-i-durer-engraving-comprehensive/

More about Melencolia I:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melencolia_I

Albrecht Dürer at PG:
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/1135

Melencolia I, by Albrecht Dürer, 1514.

Dürer personifies melancholy as a formidable female—her power originates in her ability to alter a man’s temperament into a melancholic state. Immobilized by her lack of creativity, the winged goddess sits dispiritedly surrounded by the tools and instruments she has lost the inspiration to use. Among intellectuals, melancholy was often associated with introspective, educated people, even genius. Because artists were especially prone to melancholy, this image has been interpreted as Dürer’s spiritual self-portrait, implying that the artist identified with her creative plight.

What Were Vincent van Gogh’s Composition Techniques?

Let’s explore the composition techniques of Vincent van Gogh through an analysis of six of his artworks.

By Jina Wallwork

https://www.thecollector.com/vincent-van-gogh-composition-techniques/

#art #painting #culture

Wheat Field with Cypresses by Vincent van Gogh, 1889.

The painting portrays a lush wheat field under a swirling, expressive sky. A prominent cypress tree rises dramatically from the field, its dark, flame-like silhouette creating a striking contrast against the sky and surrounding landscape. In the background, rolling hills and olive trees add depth and texture to the scene.
