In this case, it was the September 11th catastrophe of 2001 which provided the stimulus that would ultimately lead me down a totally unforeseen path, revealing an attitude never previously observed. Other than a proclivity for drawing geometric shapes, no artistic tendencies had even been evident.The one constant theme in my work is the recurring use...

Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806) punctuates the eighteenth century with a burst of fireworks, closing the arc opened by Watteau with his enchanting poems of love and melancholy. While Watteau was ethereal and profound, Fragonard was delightfully light. He captivates us even as he amuses himself, his emotional distance ever apparent. Specialising in "fêtes galantes" executed in the Rococo style, Fragonard was a pupil of François Boucher and also...

L'oeuvre du Russe Nicolas Roerich (1874-1947) est marquée par ses nombreux voyages à travers l'Europe, l'Amérique et l'Asie, notamment l'Inde. Il a puisé dans ses pérégrinations une inspiration empreinte d'un certain mysticisme. Ainsi, ce passionné d'archéologie s'est plu à représenter l'origine du monde telle que la voient les grands mythes sacrés et profanes. Il a peint, dessiné et sculpté. La diversité de son oeuvre se retrouve dans...

Description
El espíritu, el carácter, la vida, la obra y el método de pintar de Rembrandt son un completo misterio. Lo que podemos adivinar de su naturaleza esencial proviene de sus pinturas y de incidentes triviales o trágicos de su infortunada existencia; su inclinación por la vida ostentosa lo obligó a declararse en bancarrota. Sus desgracias no son del todo comprensibles y su obra refleja ideas perturbadoras e impulsos contradictorios que emergen de...

Quelle audace de la part des concepteurs d'avoir placé un tel être et ses acolytes dans ce Concert qui fête la Vierge à l'enfant !

El arte ecléctico con el que soñaba la familia Carracci quedó finalmente plasmado en la obra de Rubens, con toda la facilidad del genio. Sin embargo, el problema era mucho más complicado para un hombre del norte, que deseaba añadir una fusión de los espíritus flamenco y latino, algo cuya dificultad se había reflejado en los intentos más bien pedantes del romanismo. Lo logró sin perder nada de su desbordante personalidad, su inquieta imaginación...
