Three Ages of Woman: Gustav Klimt: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Three Ages of Women was painted in 1905 by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt. This piece speaks for the sublime power inhabited by women so often depicted by Gustav Klimt in his compositions. The symbolism Three Ages of Women can be seen in the way that the woman advances from a helpless child to the full power of adulthood and finally into the eventual agony of old age. The child and mother, ignorant of their coming demise due to the aura of health and love about them, eventually transform into the gnarled, pot bellied form in the middle ground. Adorning this painting is Klimts signature addition of a juxtaposition between light and dark spaces, highlighted with gold to give the piece a definite mystical emotion. Prevalent in the space behind the old woman are Klimts signature circles as well, yellow and white complimenting the orange hue. Three Ages of Women manages to capture through color the feelings of both immense warmth as well as the unavoidable blackness that threatens the elderly mind. There is a strong sense of mortality at work in this piece. For this reason the solid black strip hangs at the top of the painting. It is in the background and can be avoided but not missed. The blackness, even when forgotten while gazing at the brighter elements of this piece, still hangs dramatically and never truly goes away. Notice also how the old woman stands on a surface of black.

Gravitation: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reprod ... Read more

Gravitation: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsk’s Gravitation is a piece washed in overtones of dark, mature colors such as brown and maroon. The painting is cut into four quadrants in the middle of the canvas, although none of the lines reach the end of the canvas. Rather, they hang suspended over several circles, creating a sense of abstract order at work here. The composition has the feeling of tension between open and closed objects as well as balance between similar shapes. Kandinsky, as an Abstract artist, is attempting here to prove that color is the best way to indicate mood and feeling in a painting. Kandinsky’s paintings worked around stripped down shapes to covey a feeling of possibility when looking at the world abstractly. Shapes are pure and shapes are powerful, as evident in the solid background looming behind the spread of rich colors. Rather than looking for symbolism in a Kandinsky piece it is important to approach it with the possibility of opening your mind to alternate perspective. This way Kandinsky’s color and line can speak in its own language. Gravitation is a testament to imagination and a rejection of the belief that to be create decent art one must strive to create the commonly perceived view of reality. Kandinsky is remembered for his bravery in branching away and creating his own interpretation of reality. Minimize

Study For A Panel: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil ... Read more

Study For A Panel: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Russian Abstract Expressionist and member of the German Bauhaus Wassily Kandinsky painted Study for a Panel around the year 1935. The painting is a vorte of yellow sucking the viewer directly into the heart of the painting. While this center area rests behind other lines and shapes on the canvas, it is this area where the eye gets stuck and cannot escape. The blue ring prevents this from happening. Study for a Panel is a balance of dark, earthy colors and bright hues of electric blue and red, purple and yellow. The philosophy behind this painting is that there is to be no symbolism found in any of the shapes presented. There is no harm, however in interpreting anything found in the painting. The point is that the artist presents the colors to the viewer as a piano player might strike a series of notes to convey emotion. Kandinsky has created a symphony of color for the viewer to take anything they wish from it. Color is thought in Expressionist art to be the most powerful force of communicating emotion and therefore the introduction of form would diminish its sublime qualities and actually reduce quality from the overall composition. Kandinsky’s expressionist masterpiece Study for a Panel aims to make an emotional impact on whatever setting it might be placed in. Minimize

Picture II, Gnomus: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil ... Read more

Picture II, Gnomus: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Picture II, Gnomus was painted by Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky in the year 1920. Picture II, Gnomus draws its power from the classic releationship between black and white, the resulting image reading like an abstracted music sheet with colorful sequences stacked to the right. However, it is important to know that there is to be no glory found in searching for symbolism within the shapes and patterns displayed on the canvas. Kandinsky’s black line is nothing more than a black line, and a white sequence is nothing more than a white sequence. The only thing that matters is the size of the geometric patterns and their distance in relation to one another. Notice the way that the green circle sticks out when placed in front of a white background versus a black background. It “pops” off of the page, drawing attention immediately to the colorful stack of objects beneath it. The expansion of the foreground adds to the sensation of being pulled into the painting, and the question of the limit to the black space is called into question as well. The blackness could stretch on for three feet or for infinity. The dimensions are purposely left ambiguous so as to draw a feeling of emotion from the viewer. The effect is a much more powerful display that can span the test of time and setting. Minimize

The Egyptian Curtain: Henri Matisse: Hand-painted art oil r ... Read more

The Egyptian Curtain: Henri Matisse: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. French painter Henri Matisse created The Egyptian Curtain in 1948. A work of oil on canvas, this painting came forty-three years after the famous 1905 Salon d’Automne exhibition that resulted in the term Fauvism to describe the brightly colored and brutish painting style of certain artists in France. Though Matisse changed his style slightly after the Fauve movement lost its momentum, this later work still embodies the same bright pallet and heavy brushstroke technique. Rather than blending together harmoniously, the paint seems to appear harsh and crude rather than refined. Notice how the curtain hangs rather garishly along the right portion of Matisse’s canvas. Bright tones of red are contrasted against sections of striking black and complimentary green creating an exotic appearance in the curtain. Through the window one can see a large plant growing. Rather than looking for symbolism in The Egyptian Curtain, notice the pattern of brushstrokes and color working together harmoniously to create the impression of a plant. Matisse’s technique seems to take the concept of barbarianism to a fine art. The Egyptian Curtain is a display wild color and brash application without going so far as to lose all manner of form and precision. Shapes still hold their own place on the canvas and colors do not fall into a smooth grade but rather appear consistent in their somewhat refined choppiness. Minimize
