REMBRANDT´S SELF-PORTRAIT BY MAITE SUSO

HERE IS THE REMBRANDT´S SELF-PORTRAIT I´M WORKING ON:

1st) It´s the original image (that I´ve looked for in google images) about Rembrandt´s self-portrait.
2nd) It´s the engraving I´ve done in a linocut.
3rd) It´s the final result that I´ve obtained when I printed the engraving with ink.

In this painting we´re looking at an old man.
 All starts when Rembrandt thought he was
 dealing with a gorgeous, smart and handsome
  guy, himself . But when he started getting old
his perfect look changed so he decided to also
paint the ugliness, realism.
We now can analyze it in this picture with the
following features:
-The original paiting shows the darkness and
only focus his faces with a light streak.
-The elderly man has several wrinkles because
of his age.
-Due to his depression, his eyes, eyebrows
 and eyelids express sadness.
-His hair is yellowish and it´s worn-out.
-He also has huge ears but a thin, tiny and
 clearly defined mouth.
-His cheecks are large as his chin, but he has no beard. 


• The most obvious aspect of Rembrandt’s late style is that the brushwork is, in general,
broader. Individual brushstrokes sometimes remain visible, although the differentiation in the
brushwork is extraordinary. Rembrandt is also known as a painter of light and shade, and of
course as an artist whos technique, REALISM, would lead some critics to claim that he used
to prefer ugliness to beauty. 

I´ve looked for the information on the internet in different web pages.

Reading by Manet


Post-impressionism:

Édouard Manet-crop.jpg
Edoard Manet was a French painter who borned in Paris on the 23th of January of 1832 and died on the 30th of April of 1883.He was one of the first 19th-century artists to paint modern life, and a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to impressionism.
His early masterworks, The Luncheon on the Grass(Le déjeuner sur Iherbe in french) and Olympia, caused great controversy and served as rallying points for the young painters who would creat Impressionism. Today, these are considered watershed paintings that mark the genesis of modern art.

Portrait of Pablo Picasso's son by Sara Pantoja



Title: Paulo Picasso (pablo picasso's son)

Author: Pablo Picasso

Movement: Expressionism


Technique: Oil on canvass

Year: 1923



He is Picasso's son. Picasso painted him so delicate that he looks like a girl not a boy. His big sensitive eyes are very carefully drawn so in some way they represent the love of his father for him. Although he's wearing a hat we can see he has brown straight hair. This is my favourite paint Picasso drew about his son, however it's not very famous.

Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin) was a French Post-Impressionist artist who was not well appreciated until after his death. Gauguin was later recognized for his experimental use of color and synthetist style that were distinguishably different from Impressionism. His work was influential to the French avant-garde and many modern artists, such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Gauguin’s art became popular after his death; partially from the efforts of art dealer Ambroise Vollard who organized exhibitions of his work late in his career, as well as assisting in organizing two important posthumous exhibitions in Paris. Many of his paintings were in the possession of Russian collector Sergei Shchukin  as well as other important collections.
He was an important figure in the Symbolyist movement as a painter, sculptor, print-maker, ceramist, and writer. His bold experimentation with color led directly to the Synthetist style of modern art, while his expression of the inherent meaning of the subjects in his paintings, under the influence of the cloisonnist style, paved the way to Primitivism and the return to the pastoral. He was also an influential proponent of wood engraving and woodcutss as art forms.]

Hangover:  The Drinker  ( Suzanna Valadon )


Title:   Hangover ( The Drinker ).
Painted in oil and chalk on canvas. The sitter was Suzanne Valadon, a French painter.  She modeled for Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who gave her painting lessons. Painted in 1888.





 Author: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec             
             (Born Nov. 24, 1864,  Albi, France — died Sept. 9, 1901, Malromé)

When he was 12, he broke his left leg and  at 14 his right leg. The bones don’t heal properly and his legs stopped growing.  During his convalescence, he studied with French academic painters.

He observed and painted the Parisian nightlife and the French world of entertainment in the 1890s. His use of free-flowing, expressive line, resulted in highly rhythmical compositions. The extreme simplification in outline and movement and the use of large color areas make his posters some of his most powerful works.

PAUL CEZANNE: Still-life with apples

PAUL CÉZANNE

·My picture is called: Still- life with apples.

·It was painted by: Paul Cézanne.


Paul Cezanne (1839–1906) was a French artist and Post- Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th-century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne's often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects.
Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th-centuryImpressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry,Cubism. Both Matise and Picaso are said to have remarked that Cézanne "is the father of us all."


Waiting (Edgar Degas)

Title: Waiting

Author: Edgar Degas

Period: 1980-1982


Movement: Ipressionism

Technique: Pastel 

Characteristics: 
In this painting we can see two women sitting on a bench, and they both are of middle class. This work is regarded for it's vibrant colour and steep perspective. 
In this painting, Edgar Degas uses short and thick strokes of paint, he applies the colours from side to side (horizontaly), and he plays with the natural light. Many painters of impressionism use this techniques.
                           







Claude Monet: Flowers on the bank of Seine near vetheuil

CLAUDE MONET:

My image is called: Flowers on the bank of Seine near Vetheuil.

It was painted by: Claude Monet.

Claude Monet (1840-1926) was the primary inspiration for the new art movement of impressionism. Along with his contemporaries, he captured the light of nature on canvass in a unique, spontaneous and vivacious style. He painted a wide range of subjects ranging from urban scenes to his own beloved formal garden. Monet strove to capture the essence of what he saw in nature, without being constrained by formal ideas of style and substance.

ABOUT PAINTERS GEORGES SEURAT

Georges Seurat was born on December 2 in 1859 in Paris. After training at the École des Beaux Arts, he broke free of tradition. Taking his technique a step beyond Impressionism,he painted with small strokes of pure colour that seem to blend when viewed from a distance. This method was called Pointillism, is showcased in major of works of the 1880s.Seurat´s career was cut shot when he died of illness on March 29 in 1891 in Paris. He was a post-impressionism artist. 

Characteristics of Seurat Paintings

The technique of Seurat consists of using tiny dabbing brushstrokes or dots of pigment, instead of the variable short Brushstrokes which are more characteristic of mainstream impressionist painting. He established a method of mixing colours directly in the canvas, Seurat placed his tiny points of unmixed color so closet o each other that they look like if they were mixed. This produced a certain optical special effect. Seurat´s paintings have a play of moving lights, colours and shadows. The surface of his canvases is accordingly vibrant. We can see these characteristics in the painting that I engrave.
