Born in North Carolina, Bearden spent much of his career in New York City. Virtually self-taught, his early works were realistic images, often with religious themes. He later transitioned to abstract & Cubist style paintings in oil & watercolor. He is best known for his photomontage compositions made from torn images of popular magazines & assembled into visually powerful statements on African American life. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260679679066790531.post-49150450729882505802021-09-03T00:03:00.000-07:002021-09-03T00:06:42.527-07:00The Worlds Most Expensive Photograph <div id="4sUxYYLqBo_n-gSryqPoBA__21" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><div class="wDYxhc" data-md="61" style="clear: none;"><div aria-level="3" class="LGOjhe" data-attrid="wa:/description" data-hveid="CB4QAA" role="heading" style="overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 20px;"><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn" style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><span class="hgKElc" style="font-family: arial; padding: 0px 8px 0px 0px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(18, 18, 18); color: #121212; font-size: 18px;">Andreas Gursky’s photograph </span><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(18, 18, 18); color: #121212; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Rhein II</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(18, 18, 18); color: #121212; font-size: 18px;"> </span><a data-wpel-link="internal" href="https://petapixel.com/2011/11/09/gurksy-photo-of-rhine-sells-for-4-3m-becomes-worlds-most-expensive-pic/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border-bottom-color: rgb(180, 201, 242); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #3366cc; cursor: pointer; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">sold at auction</a><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(18, 18, 18); color: #121212; font-size: 18px;"> for a ground-breaking $4.3 million.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;">Olga Suvorova is a very well-known & internationally acclaimed Russian Master.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;">Olga was born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1966. She studied monumental composition at the famous St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts. Her career has been greatly influenced by her parents, both highly praised artists in St. Petersburg.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;">Other sources of influence include Gustav Klimt, Piero Della Francesca, and traditional Russian icons. Olga's talent & overwhelming response to her work led & was rewarded with a unique solo exhibition in St. Petersburg Art Academy in the spring of 1990 where her paintings were received with great enthusiasm and praise; in 1993 she was awarded the first prize of the year. She also was honored with President’s Yeltsin's Artist prize from a competition among more than 3,000 artists. </span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;">Nowadays Olga is an accomplished artist, a well recognized master, possessing her own inimitable, easily recognizable style, and a member of the Union of Artists of Russia. </span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;">It is for her stirring portraits that Olga first gained her reputation in Russia, and then abroad. These paintings have a startling vitality. Filled with warmth and harmony, the paintings of Olga make the viewer’s soul kinder and more compassionate. Her paintings of the players in "Comedia dell’arte" have a lasting quality. Her style can be more realistic in the historical depictions but it is strongly impressionistic in other scenes. In her paintings Olga sometimes uses silk fabrics for costume details. Recently she has produced a series of magnificently detailed screens which have been widely praised and collected. </span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;">She exhibits regularly in Paris and London. Olga has also exhibited in Italy, Germany, Sweden, Finland, France, Britain, Ireland, China, and the USA. Her work is highly regarded and acquired by galleries and serious art collectors around the globe. </span></div>

In 1925, Raffaello Giolli summarized the disconcerting aspects of Casorati's art—"The volumes have no weight in them, and the colors no body. Everything is fictitious: even the living lack all nervous vitality. The sun seems to be the moon ... nothing is fixed or definite"—and argued that these very qualities give his work its originality, and connect him to the <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysical_painting" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; color: #6b4ba1; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Metaphysical painting">metaphysical painters</a>.”</div>

Casorati himself wrote, in 1931: "In taking up, against me, the old polemic of classicism and romanticism, people rail against intellectualized and scholastic order, accuse my art of being insincere, and wilfully academic—in a word, of being neoclassical. ... since my art is born, so to speak, from within, and never has its source in changing "impressions", it is quite natural that ... static forms, and not the fluid images of passion, should be reflected in my works".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Cowling64_5-2" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.75em; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felice_Casorati#cite_note-Cowling64-5" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; color: #6b4ba1; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">[5]</a></sup></div>

Past & present intersect, merging references in equal measure to Renaissance & Baroque painting, Depression-era photography, antique fabrics & lace, vintage clothing & the rural farmlands & interiors of the artist’s native Michigan. Silent figures move through finely detailed settings seemingly in slow motion, their actions both familiar & unexplained. A winner of numerous regional & national honors for her art, before turning 20 years old, Kowch has had work exhibited in such places as Washington D.C.’s Capitol Hill & Corcoran Gallery of Art, New York City’s Diane von Furstenberg Gallery & Miami’s Margulies Collection. She is also a 2005 award winner & alumnus of the National Young Arts Foundation.</span><br />

<div style="font-size: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 18px;">On February 22, 2007, the day after Sotheby's London sold three Banksy works, all of which soared above their auction estimates & into the six figures, the elusive & anonymous British graffiti artist updated his website with an image of an auction house, the people in the room bidding on </span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 18px;">picture with the written words:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; font-size: 18px;">In the years since, Banksy has continued to make his feeling on the commercialism of his art exceedingly clear. He calls galleries that sell his work "unauthorized", and is represented instead by </span><a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:http://www.pestcontroloffice.com/whatispco.html" href="http://www.pestcontroloffice.com/whatispco.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: objects; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; color: #003891; cursor: pointer; font-size: 18px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Pest Control Office</a><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; font-size: 18px;">, which is, in effect, another extension of the artist's darkly humorous manifesto. The simple website informs owners, anxious to authenticate and sell their freshly excavated and exceedingly valuable Banksy treasures, that the authentication process is "lengthy and challenging", as many pieces "are created in an advanced state of intoxication." As for legitimately buying a work from the artist - forget about it. Pest Control states that there is currently "something/nothing available."</span></span></div>

THE MOST EXPENSIVE WORK OF ART by an American artist ever sold at auction was painted by a black man. A large-scale canvas by <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Jean-Michel Basquiat</strong> (1960-1988) was the top lot at Sotheby’s contemporary art auction last week. It shattered expectations, selling for an astronomic $110.5 million (including fees), an artist record and a groundbreaking auction moment. </div>

Basquiat’s <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2017/contemporary-art-evening-auction-n09761/lot.24.html" style="border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Untitled” image of a skull</a> on a turquoise blue background was the headliner at the May 18 Contemporary Art Evening Auction at Sotheby’s New York. </div>

The painting achieved the highest auction price in history for a work by an American artist and reached a number of other milestones:</div>

<li style="border: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 3px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sixth most expensive work ever sold at auction</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 3px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">One of only 10 paintings in auction history to surpass $100 million</li>
</ul>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Only 21-years-old when he made the painting, Basquiat is also the youngest artist to eclipse the $100 million mark. (In 1905, Picasso was 24 when he painted “Garçon à la Pipe” (Boy With a Pipe),” which sold for $104.1 million at Sotheby’s in 2004.) </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Tonight, Jean-Michel Basquiat entered the pantheon of artists whose works have commanded prices over $100 million, including Picasso, Giacometti, Bacon, and Warhol,” said Grégoire Billault, head of the Contemporary Art Department at Sotheby’s New York. “This extraordinary canvas from 1982 has broken so many benchmarks …but those of us lucky enough to have been in its presence will only remember it’s awesome power. To think that it was created by a virtually-unknown 21-year old is humbling.”</div>

Her family’s fortune had been lost during the Depression. Although she had experienced significant success early in life, her painting career had become stifled by mental illness in later years, As her mental health deteriorated, she felt compelled to destroy many of the paintings that were once so high acclaimed. Fewer that twenty of her works are known to exist today. Louise Crow died destitute in 1968 in San Mateo, California.</span></span><span style="background-color: blue; color: blue;"> </span></div>

Her collection became one of the few European collections of modern art to promote a significant number of works by Americans. In the 1950s she promoted the art of two local painters, Edmondo Bacci & Tancredi Parmeggiani. By the early 1960s, Guggenheim had almost stopped collecting art & began to concentrate on presenting what she already owned. She loaned out her collection to museums in Europe & in 1969 to the <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_R._Guggenheim_Museum" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; color: #6b4ba1; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Solomon R.

<span style="font-size: large;">Anna Schuleit is a young artist who brings back to life historic sites & structures through her original interpretations. In much of her work to date, she has honored the lives lived within mental health institutions by transforming abandoned facilities into moving, site-specific memorials. Employing such ephemeral elements as choral pieces & seas of flowers, her powerful public works are designed to endure not as objects, but as vivid memories for those who experience the multisensory events she orchestrates.

<b>Félix Edouard Vallotton</b> (December 28, 1865 – December 29, 1925) was a Swiss French painter and print maker associated with <i>Les Nabise</i>. <i><b>Les Nabis</b></i> (pronounced <i>nah-<small>BEE</small></i>) were a group of Post Impressionist- Avante Gard artists who set the pace for fine arts and graphic arts in France
in the 1890s. Initially a group of friends interested in contemporary
art and literature, most of them studied at the private art school Academie Julian in Paris in the late 1880s. He was an important figure in the development of the modern woodcut. <br />
He painted, wrote art criticism
and made a number of prints. In 1891 he executed his first woodcut, a
portrait of Paul Verlaine. The many woodcuts he produced during the 1890s were recognized as
innovative & established Vallotton as a leader in the revival of true
woodcut as an artistic medium<sup>.</sup> In the western world, the relief print, in the form of commercial wood graving ,
had long been utilized mainly as a means to accurately reproduce drawn
or painted images & photographs. Vallotton's woodcut style
was novel in its starkly reductive opposition of large masses of
undifferentiated black and areas of unmodulated white. Vallotton
emphasized outline and flat patterns & generally eliminated the
gradations and modeling traditionally produced by hatching. He was influenced by Post Impressionist Painting, Symbolism & especially by the Japanese woodcut<sup>. </sup><br />

</div>
<br />
His woodcut subjects included domestic scenes, bathing women,
portrait heads, and several images of street crowds and
demonstrations—notably, several scenes of police attacking anarchists.
He usually depicted types rather than individuals, eschewed the
expression of strong emotion, and "fuse[d] a graphic wit with an acerbic
if not ironic humor".<sup> </sup>Vallotton's graphic art reached its highest development in <i>Intimités (Intimacies)</i>, a series of ten interiors published in 1898 by the <i>Revue Blanche</i>, which deal with tension between men and women.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9lix_Vallotton#cite_note-5">[5]</a></sup>
Vallotton's woodcuts were widely disseminated in periodicals and books
in Europe as well as in the United States, and have been suggested as a
significant influence on the graphic art of Edvard Munch & Aubrey Beardsle<sup>. </sup><br />
<sup> </sup><br />

1890s, when Vallotton was closely allied with the avant-garde, his
paintings reflected the style of his woodcuts, with flat areas of color,
hard edges, and simplification of detail. His subjects included genre scenes, portraits and nudes. Examples of his Nabi style are the deliberately awkward <i>Bathers on a Summer Evening</i> (1892–93), and the symbolist <i>Moonlight</i> (1895), in the Musse D Orsay . <br />
