Jim Alfredson Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 More Durer: I love him because he was around before the Church started telling everyone what they could and could not produce. As such, his paintings and woodcuts have real imagination to them. Pretty interesting read about Durer here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connoisseur series500 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Velazquez That's a magnificent painting, Maren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 B3-er, in the UK, Goldsworthy was commisioned to create postage stamps for the Christmas period. They were quite outstanding. Also, nearby we have a large national park (Lake District) in which a large forested area lies called Grizedale. Throughout the forest there are several Goldsworthy sculptures, some small, some imposing, some abstract and some easily identifiable. It is great to ride around the tracks there and view them. You can be ascending a large hill and as you round a bend one will loom into view. Hope you get chance to see for yourself one day (the Keswick Jazz Festival occurs annually around May time -- they are mad on there --- and the ale is great)!!!

maren Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 (edited) That's a magnificent painting, Maren. That's Velazquez's portrait of Juan de Pareja: The son of Moorish indentured servants (in other words, slaves), Juan de Pareja was apparently left to Diego Velázquez in a will, as property. He acted as a personal assistant to Velázquez, and in the studio he ground pigments and stretched canvases. Velázquez would never let the slave even pick up a paintbrush, but the Moor watched and learned in the master's studio, and practiced drawing in secret. According to one legend, on an occasion when Velázquez's patron, the king of Spain, was due to visit, Pareja placed one of his own paintings where it would be seen by him. When the king came across it, Pareja threw himself at the king's feet, told him how he had learned to paint without his master's knowledge, and begged him to intercede on his behalf. The king voiced the opinion that "any man who has this skill cannot be a slave," at which point Velázquez had little option but to grant Pareja his freedom. Another version of events has Pareja being given the gift of his freedom in return for his friendship and support following the death of Velázquez's wife. In any case, Juan de Pareja was granted his freedom in 1654 and stayed on in Velázquez's studio, painting openly and quickly becoming an artist of considerable talent. This is a Portrait of the Architect José Ratés Dalmau painted BY Juan de Pareja: Edited January 13, 2004 by maren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 These are all illustrators who also do gallery art. "Low brow" is what it's called, I think. I went to school with a few of these guys and a few others were teachers of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Actually, I watched Thiebaud paint at Pasadena City College which is where I went before Art Center. They are only a few miles apart. Thiebaud painted some delicious looking cakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
