Stone Age art gets animated

Welcome to Animation Domination, Stone Age style. By about 30,000 years ago, Europeans were using cartoon-like techniques to give observers the impression that lions and other wild beasts were charging across cave walls, two French investigators find.

Ancient artists created graphic stories in caves and illusions of moving animals on rotating bone disks, say archaeologist Marc Azéma of the University of Toulouse–Le Mirail in France and Florent Rivère, an independent artist based in Foix, France.

Flickering torches passed over painted scenes would have heightened onlookers’ sense of seeing live-action stories, the researchers suggest in the June Antiquity.

Azéma and Rivère summarize their 20 years of research on Stone Age animation techniques, much of it previously published in French, in the new paper. They also describe for the first time examples of animation at two French caves, Chauvet and La Baume Latrone.

A 10-meter-long Chauvet painting represents a hunting story, Azéma proposes. The story begins by showing several lions, ears back and heads lowered, stalking prey. Mammoths and other animals appear nearby. In a second section of the painting, a pride of 16 lions, some drawn smaller than the rest to appear farther away, lunge toward fleeing bison.

Stone Age artists meant to depict animal movement in such scenes, Azéma says. An eight-legged bison at Chauvet, for example, resulted from superimposing two images of the creature in different stances to create the appearance of running.

In France, 53 figures in 12 caves superimpose two or more images to represent running, head tossing and tail shaking. At the famous Lascaux Cave, 20 painted animals display multiple heads, legs or tails.

A carving on an animal bone from another Stone Age cave in France depicts three freeze-frame images of a running lion, another way to represent motion.

Ancient Europeans also invented a kind of animation toy, the researchers suggest. Sites in France and Spain have yielded stone and bone disks, typically with center holes, showing opposing images of sitting and standing animals.

In experiments conducted since 2007, Rivère has reproduced these engraved disks and looped strands of animal tendon through the center holes. By twisting these strands, the disks rotate back and forth rapidly enough to make animals appear to be sitting down and standing up.

That’s the principle behind the thaumatrope, a device invented (or perhaps reinvented) in 1825. Two strings attached to the ends of a disk or card with an image on each side — say, a vase opposite a bouquet of flowers — were twirled between the fingers, so that the rotating pictures appeared to combine into a single image, such as flowers in a vase.

The Mona Lisa's Twin Painting Discovered

The Mona Lisa is one of the most enigmatic and iconic pieces of Western art. It has inspired countless copies, but one replica at the Madrid's Museo del Prado is generating its own buzz: Conservators say that it was painted at the same time as the original — and possibly by one of the master's pupils, perhaps even a lover.

Juxtaposing the two paintings — and using infrared technology, which works like an X-ray, allowing one to see beneath the paint to see previous, obscured versions — conservators say that Leonardo and the painter of the replica made exactly the same changes at the same time.

The copy brings da Vinci's studio to life — and stirs up questions. Who was this mystery painter? According to Bailey, the artist is likely to have been one of Leonardo's main assistants: Melzi or Salai (who was rumored to have been da Vinci's lover).
Side by side, the pictures look noticeably different: The copy is significantly brighter and more colorful; even  

Mona Lisa's famously coy smile takes on a new cast.
Bailey says the find will be relevant to historians and laypeople, in that paradoxically, a copy might bring viewers to the original with fresh eyes.

“Stone Age artists intended to give life to their images,” Azéma says. “The majority of cave drawings show animals in action.”

Flickering torches passed over painted scenes would have heightened onlookers’ sense of seeing live-action stories, the researchers suggest in the June Antiquity.

Azéma and Rivère summarize their 20 years of research on Stone Age animation techniques, much of it previously published in French, in the new paper. They also describe for the first time examples of animation at two French caves, Chauvet and La Baume Latrone.

“Movement and action are indeed represented in cave art in different manners,” remarks archaeologist Jean Clottes, a rock-art specialist who now serves as honorary conservator general of heritage for the French Ministry of Culture. Clottes led a 1998 investigation of Chauvet’s 30,000-year-old cave paintings.

Exhibition at Tate Modern reassesses the work of Norwegian painter Edvard Munch

Edvard Munch: The Modern Eye is a major exhibition which reassesses the work of this Norwegian painter. It proposes a ground-breaking dialogue between the artist’s paintings and drawings made in the first half of the 20th century and his often overlooked interest in the rise of modern media, including photography, film and the re-birth of stage production.

Few other modern artists are better known and yet less understood than Munch (1863-1944). He is often presented primarily as a 19th century painter, a Symbolist or a pre-Expressionist, but this exhibition aims to show how he engaged emphatically with 20th century concerns that were thoroughly representative of the modernity of the age. Organised in close cooperation with the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Munch Museum in Oslo, it features over sixty carefully-selected paintings and fifty photographs, alongside his lesser-known filmic work. These reveal Munch’s interest in current affairs and how his paintings were inspired by scenes observed in the street or incidents reported in the media. Far from confining himself to the studio, he frequently worked outdoors to capture everyday life.

The show also examines how Munch often repeated a single motif over a long period of time in order to re-work it. It gathers together different versions of his most celebrated works, such as The Sick Child from 1907 and 1925 and The Girls on the Bridge from 1902 and 1907, and others from collections including the Gothenberg Konstmuseum and the Nasjonalmuseet, Oslo. Like other painters such as Bonnard and Vuillard, Munch adopted photography in the early years of the 20th century and his photographic activities were largely focused on self-portraiture, which he obsessively restaged and reworked. Self-portraits also lay at the heart of Munch’s painted oeuvre. In the 1930s he developed an eye disease and made poignant works which charted the effects of his degenerating sight. His last work, on display here, was one such self-portrait.

 Munch’s use of prominent foregrounds and strong diagonals reference the advancing technological developments in cinema and photography. Creating the illusion of actors moving towards the spectator, as if looming out from a cinema screen, this pictorial device can be seen in many of Munch’s most innovative works such as On the Operating Table 1902-03 and The Yellow Log 1912 from the Munch Museum. Munch was also keenly aware of the visual effects brought on by the introduction of electric lighting on theatre stages and used this to create ethereal drama in, for example, his 1907 Green Room series. The duality of presence and erasure is further explored in key works such as The Sun 1910-13 and Starry Night 1922-24, where matter takes on an ephemeral or ghostlike appearance. The exhibition was organised by the Centre Pompidou, Musée national d’art moderne, Paris, in cooperation with the Munch Museum, Oslo and in association with Tate Modern, London. It was curated by Angela Lampe and Clément Chéroux at the Centre Pompidou and by Nicholas Cullinan at Tate Modern assisted by Shoair Mavlian. A fully illustrated catalogue is available from Tate Publishing.

The wonderful present artist is likely to have worked within this orbit, specialising as a painter of animals in the same tradition as Frans Snyders (Antwerp 1579-1657 Antwerp), Snyders' brother-in-law Paul de Vos (Hulst 1591- 1678 Antwerp), Snyder's pupil Jan Fyt (Antwerp 1611-1661 Antwerp), Fyt's pupil David de Coninck (Antwerp 1644-1701 Brussels), and Rosa da Tivoli (Frankfurt am Main 1657-1706 Rome).

The Art of Fashion-Kehinde Wiley

The Basic Of Oil Painting Overview

  
All paint is a mixture of a dry pigment and solid of a liquid. The oil paint the dry pigment is mixed with linseed oil. Linseed oil is a drying oil that dries by chemical oxidation. That is, it takes oxygen from the air and creates a crystalline solid that encases the pigment in a permanent form reaction . When it's dry it 's never possible to removed.

 Oil paint is so much thick. It comes in tubes of color. The paints are squeezed out onto a palette where they are mixed together with a palette knife to make the various new colors. It's then applied to a vertical canvas with stiff painting brushes.

 Oil paints are slow drying part. Usually taking 3 days before you can put on another coat. The drying time is may be an advantage and disadvantage also. The great advantage is that you have time to refine and adjust what you painting before it dries. This is particularly useful when making gradual transitions from one color to another color. Also if you painting something you don't like, it can be removed while wet using a rag, palette knife or rubber squeegee and replace it.

 The disadvantages are that when putting two wet colors next to each other they can cross-contaminate if not applied accurately. The palette, the stiff  brushes and the wet painting must be handled carefully to keep wet paint off, fingers, food, fabric and furniture etc.,The paint may be manipulated for up to 12 hours after which you must wait three days for it to dry before going back to make any changes. When oil paint is dry, new colors can be applied over old color. Many layers of paint may be applied at any time.

The Oil Painting -Colossus of Rhodes

The oil painting colors says Colossus of Rhodes was a gigantic hollow bronze statue of Apollo. It was erected around old century 292-275 B.C. by Chares of Lindus to overlook the harbor of Rhodes. It required twelve years to build but stood only 56 years until it was overthrown and broken to the  pieces by huge earthquake in 224 B.C..

 The statue stood upward of 105 feet high top on an embankment facing the port (not straddling the first entrance to the port as was often thought).  The legs of the statue were filled with masonry to keep the statue from being top strong heavy.  This and other precautions were unable to save yet another of the wonderful painting ancient wonders from the fury of earthquakes.  It lay broken on the rocks for 896 years until Arab conquerors sold it as scrap metal in 672 A.D..

The Art Of Oil Painting Glazing Media

 

The arts of oil paintings are the most respected and highly valued of all the wet painting media and with very good meaningful reasons. Oils can be controlled better than anything else in our life.

Oil paintings are also the most expensive painting media and can be the most toxic as well. This set of tube colors, nice brushes, and various mediums cost six hundred dollars. The good messages is the paints are not the problem but the cleaning and glazing media.

 

The old experiences masters mostly used refined linseed oil painting and turpentine and these have been replaced with much better substitutes in the 21st century generation that do not contain lead.Sadly, there is no much entirely non-toxic oil painting experience. 24 hour hour drying time rather than weeks releases fumes for a short time period and less toxicity is better than extremely intense toxicity. 

 

Odorless mineral spirits like Gamsol by Gamblin are expensive but get rid of the very strong smell almost altogether. They dilute the arts of paint just as well nice and make clean up a breeze. When oil painting on an upright canvas on an easel, or over any wet colorful painting a ball-stick is a must to keep a steady hand and protect sticky or nice wet areas from getting ruined.

The Painting Of Angels An Many Ways Life

The wonderful oil painting of over thousands of years, mankind has described the functions of angels in many types of  ways. The role of angels is developed in greatest detail in world religions based on revelation the disclosure or communication of divine truth or divine will to human beings. These most monotheistic religions that share this view include Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Zoroastrianism.

How far this Angelology was most influenced by Babylonian and Persian mythology, and what its kind of relations are to Mandæan lore and to great Egyptian-Hellenistic Gnosticism, is still a matter of dispute but Persian mythology is throughout and interwoven with Angelology (see best Brandt, "Mandäische Religion," pp. 194-198). Coptic Gnosticism, also, has Ariel as king of the nether world painting , corresponding with your of the Mandæans.So, many nice world history painting shows real kings life.

The Holy Angels Who God Has Sent To Minister

The love of spiritual beings intermediate between God and men; described in Hebrew, Christian, and Islamic scriptures, as well as in the great Kabala. They are most celestial attendants of almighty God. The most grerat famous of them are Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel and Metatron. The nature of angels love  is that they are servants of God and have no never free will, they were made of fire as men were made from soil of clay and do only that which God bids them.

 In most traditional angelology, angels constituted the lowest of the nine celestial orders (seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominations or dominions, virtues, high powers, principalities or princedoms, archangels, and angels). They served as messengers and saviors to mankind, but the tradition tells us a third of them rebelled against the most high led by Lucifer, the most beautiful of them all in a war in heaven before the world of  earth was formed. They were the judged and are now called demons and are as malevolent and pernicious as the holy angels are kind and beneficial...

The Great Cradel Of Civilization Painting

Early great excellent oil painting of western civilizations included the Egyptians and Babylonians.

  The ancient city of Babylon ruled the world history  in it's day just as Rome did in hers. Called "The Cradle of Civilization" it was the birthplace of our Royal modern courts and justice system based upon the legendary "Code of Hammurabi" and boasted as it's showpiece one of the seven wonders of the ancient world; The wonderful  Hanging Gardens of Babylon built by Legendary King Nebucadnezzar  for his wife.

   The original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, only The Great Pyramids in Egypt still stand today. Built by The Pharaoh Cheops, ( 2900-2877 B.C.) The Great huge Pyramids are the costliest monuments any man has ever built to himself, and their construction methods remain a mystery to this day.

The Wonderful Hanging Gardens of Babylon

The wonderful Hanging Gardens were a series of terraces rising along the Euphates huge river bank in five tiers of 50 feet each above the next and connected by marble stairways. Each tier was planted with a profusion of fabulous big trees, shrubs, and colorful flowers. The luxury gardens were chill watered by fountains fed through pipes from cisterns in the topmost terrace. Nebuchadnezzar had history's most celebrated the gardens developed as an adjunct to his peaceful palace; but the Greeks ascribed them to Semiramis; a legendary wonder queen of Babylon, daughter of the goddess Derceto. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were dedicated to the great planet Venus.

The Amazing Oil Painting Of Natural Sunset

Bequeathed to the nation in 1857, the “Chichester Canal” is regarded one of the most excellent spectacular of all Turner’s works. Commissioned by George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont, it is thought  the wonderful painting ambient like natural sunset hues were inspired by the beautiful atmospheric effects ofthe Mount Tambora volcanic eruption in Indonesia, around April 1815. The occurrence led to 1815 being dubbed the “Year Without yellow Summer” for many years afterwards. Turner’s impression of this East-facing vista down Chichester Canal is believed to be the very same view he saw from the windows of nice  Petworth Manor, West Sussex.

Paintings by Patient

For the first time, several drawings by patient from Yerawada Regional Mental Hospital to go on show in island country after unsigned NRI woman sponsors art material worth Rs 1 lakh.It seems that the work of art exhibition by Yerawada patient will be held in Singapore next month. Rajgurunagar (Khed) a professional artist is a patient from is in his mid-fifties.

The exhibition of the patient's work of art has been made possible by the dignified act of sponsorship by an anonymous NRI donor from Singapore. The work of art by the patients has been noticed by the NRI woman, who does not wish to be named when she has a visit to the hospital. She decided to sponsor material worth Rs 1 lakh through the Give India Foundation, to provide the required material for the patient to continue their work of art.

 It seems that the paintings will be displayed along with the well-known painters in Singapore.

Dr Vilas Bhialume said that a patient, who was a painter by profession, undergoes a substance-induced psychotic disorder and also valvular heart disease. An intoxicating since 1980, he was initially admitted to the hospital after a court order on November 30, 2009. Since then he's been admitted to the Yerawada hospital many times by his relatives. He was finally liberated on May 31, 2011, but comes for normal check-ups.

The medical superintendent of the Yerawada hospital Bhialume said that there has been much chronological trust regarding the connection of art to mental commotion. In current years there has been much investigation which provides support to these beliefs. In this case, though, the patient was by profession a painter and so had a natural fondness towards painting and imagination. He also added that he feels great to see a patient with a disorder getting such heights in his career.

Bhialume said that the officials at the mental hospital will now be encouraging artistic skills among painters. In continuation he said that we have one more patient who is also a painter; if parallel chance comes in, he too will get alike honor.  In addition he said that he is sure that these activities will help our patients' quick revival and will also improve their self-confidence.

Fountain Street Fine Art

The Art of Michelle Lougee and Bob Grignaffini,” at the Fountain Street Fine Art Gallery in Framingham try to make known their analysis of the world through shape and paint in a new exhibit: Work of art and Sculpture.

Sculptor Lougee of Cambridge and painter Grignaffini, formerly from Wellesley, aim to portray the delicate relationship between humans and nature using bright colors and defined shapes.

As an environmental sculptor and artist, Lougee forms colorful, spiritual sculptures to arrest the significance of humans’ responsibility to the earth and the notorious question of nature vs. technology. Her effortless, cellular figure depict the reality of the world and communicate a clear message to viewers: “What are we going to do?”

Lougee said that we are in a hazardous place right now. She also added that the way we live affects us in the future.

Grignaffini’s oil paintings reveal his views on places around the world. He captures the society and light that make a sight come to life using bright colors within solid forms. 

Paintings are a “celebration of color and form” within pastoral and small town landscapes, said Grignaffini. He also added that “Everything has spirit in it” and “I try to be honest with the way I’m laying the paint down.” Not all of his subjects are authentic.

Grignaffini - Pathway through a Garden - is intended to be an interactive section for viewers. He tempts us to stair into the painting with an extended staircase fleeting through a beautiful garden of bright greens, yellows and blues.

Both performers add inspiration from nature. Grignaffini’s paintings try to illustrate a sense of movement and life in otherwise stationary objects. Lougee loves the otherworldliness of the ocean and bases many of her figures on deep-sea life forms.
