Renoir | Landscapes with Figures

"If you paint the leaf on a tree without using a model, your imagination will only supply you with a few leaves; but Nature offers you millions, all on the same tree.

No two leaves are exactly the same.

The artist who paints only what is in his mind must very soon repeat himself"

- Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Colors | Yellow

Claude Monet | Yellow Irises, 1917

Yellow is the color between orange and green on the spectrum of visible light.

It is evoked by light with a dominant wavelength of roughly 570-590 nm.

It is a primary color in subtractive color systems, used in painting or color printing.

In the RGB color model, used to create colors on television and computer screens, yellow is a secondary color made by combining red and green at equal intensity.

Carotenoids give the characteristic yellow color to autumn leaves, corn, canaries, daffodils, and lemons, as well as egg yolks, buttercups, and bananas.

They absorb light energy and protect plants from photodamage.

Sunlight has a slight yellowish hue when sun is near a horizon, due to atmosphere scattering shorter wavelengths (green, blue, and violet).

Michał Świder

Michał Świder (1962-2019) è stato un pittore Polacco, diplomato all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Cracovia.

Le figure allegoriche dei suoi affreschi e delle sue tele si muovono con raffinata eleganza, sono leggermente idealizzati puri ed angelici.

Già al primo incontro con le sue opere uno è colpito dalla sua incredibile raffinatezza e metafisicità.

Tutto sembra essere immerso in una totale freddezza, ferma nell'incantesimo, nella meditazione, nel dolore.

Le figure allegoriche dei suoi affreschi e tele si muovono con eleganza raffinata, leggera e silenziosa. Sono leggermente idealizzate, pure e angeliche.

Volti: umani, angeli, androgeni e santi sono il riflesso dell'anima dell'uomo (artista), sono la sintesi lirica dei suoi sentimenti, degli stati d'animo, della considerazione e delle esperienze.

Cesare-Auguste Detti (Italian, 1847-1914)

Cesare Agostino Detti, or Cesare-Auguste Detti (1847, Spoleto - May 19 1914, Paris) was an Italian painter🎨, best known for his historical genre scenes, largely from the 17th and 18th Centuries, inspired by the Troubadour style.

His father, Davide Detti, was an engineer and an amateur painter. As a result, his early interest in art was encouraged.

In 1861, he made the acquaintance of Francesco Coghetti, a painter from Rome who was creating murals at the Teatro Nuovo (now known as the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti).

Coghetti suggested that Detti receive formal training at the Accademia di San Luca, where he was a professor.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti ed Elizabeth Siddal

Il Preraffaellismo era un movimento che rifiutava le tradizioni che supponeva posteriori alla pittura di Raffaello Sanzio, rivalutando l'arte dei «primitivi» e dei quattrocentisti: sul piano ideologico, invece, si auspicava un ritorno «all'araldico mondo della cristianità medievale» ed ad un'arte genuina, semplificata, attingendo particolare vigore dai Nazareni, dal gruppo dei puristi italiani e dai primitifs francesi.

Intanto Rossetti si invaghì, nel 1850, di una delle sue modelle.

Era costei Elizabeth Siddal, una donna dolce, indigente ma molto colta e versata nelle arti, che sposò poi dieci anni dopo, nel 1860.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti | Luce improvvisa / Sudden Light

Sono già stato qui,

Ma quando o come non saprei dire

Conosco l’erba oltre la porta,

Il dolce odore pungente

Un suono, come un singhiozzo, le luci attorno alla baia.

Remzi Taskiran, 1961

Nato ad Adıyaman in Turchia, Remzi Taşkıran ha completato gli studi superiori ad Istanbul. Ha ottenuto la sua educazione artistica dal pittore Saadettin Çağlarca.

L'artista, che ha lavorato per qualche tempo come pittore di stampa, ha opere che sono state esposte in collezioni sia in patria che all'estero.

Pittore professionista - Taşkıran ha aperto un suo studio ad Istanbul, dove impiega del tempo per creare temi unici per la sua arte, prevenendo le preoccupazioni della vita quotidiana mentre si prepara per le sue mostre.

In particolare nei suoi dipinti basati sulle impressioni locali, si osserva che va oltre le sue azioni quotidiane e crea dipinti originali in cui il suo spirito, coscienza, capacità ed istinti vengono alla luce.

La vicinanza ai valori tradizionali di Taşkıran è evidenziata agli occhi della critica come capacità di ritrarre uno stile pittorico unico.

Ilya Repin (Russian, 1844 -1930)

Ilya Yefimovich Repin /Илья Ефимович Репин was a Russian realist painter. He was the most renowned Russian artist of the 19th century, when his position in the world of art was comparable to that of Leo Tolstoy in literature. He played a major role in bringing Russian art into the mainstream of European culture.

His major works include Barge Haulers on the Volga (1873), Religious Procession in Kursk Province (1883) and Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks (1880–1891).

Repin persistently searched for new techniques and content to give his work more fullness and depth. Repin had a set of favorite subjects, and a limited circle of people whose portraits he painted. But he had a deep sense of purpose in his aesthetics, and had the great artistic gift to sense the spirit of the age and its reflection in the lives and characters of individuals.
