» Arta » Arta Abstract Expressionism
"Abstract expressionism" refers to the non-representational use of form and color as a means of expression that emerged in America in the 1940s, largely thanks to the innovative work of Arshile Gorky. Interestingly, abstract expressionism is considered to be the first movement originating in America to have a worldwide influence. Two very different sub-categories of the movement developed: "action painting" (exemplified notably by Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock) and "color field painting," made most famous by Mark Rothko. Abstract expressionists strove to express pure emotion directly on canvas, via color and especially texture (the surface quality of the brushstroke), by embracing "accidents," and celebrating painting itself as a communicative action.

» Arta » Arta Baroque
The Baroque period in painting and sculpture, stretching from the late 16th century to the early 18th century and occurring between the Mannerist and Rococo movements, was marked by richness, drama, and grandeur. Stylistically complex yet intensely engaging, Baroque art commonly combined dramatic lighting effects and theatrical compositions with great movement and energy. Caravaggio, Annibale Carracci, Rembrandt, and Rubens are among the artists most commonly associated with the Baroque movement.

» Arta » Arta Botticelli
During Sandro Botticelli's lifetime (1444/45-1510), the influence of his art scarcely reached beyond his native Florence, and following his death he was soon forgotten. He was rediscovered in the 19th century by the Pre-Raphaelites. Since then, Botticelli has ranked among the greatest of the Renaissance artists.
In the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, paintings such as 'Primavera' and 'The Birth of Venus' belong to the foremost attractions for tourists and art lovers. His captivating figures of women, his intimate portrayals of the Madonna and Child, and the angel-like beauty of his adolescents are famous the world over today.

» Arta » Arta Caravaggio
Notorious bad boy of Italian Baroque painting, Caravaggio (1571-1610) is finally getting the recognition he deserves. Though his name may be familiar to all of us, his work has been habitually detested and forced into obscurity. Not only was his theatrical realism unfashionable in his time, but his sacrilegious subject matter and use of lower class models were violently scorned.

» Arta » Arta Cezanne
Perhaps best known for his exceptional apples and pears, Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was one of the founding fathers of modern art. Though he was underappreciated and highly criticized during his life, as time passed Cézanne`s work came to be considered of inestimable importance. His method of experimentation with abstraction and perspective was an important precursor to modern painting, particularly cubism.

» Arta » Arta Cézanne
Cézanne was the founding father of modern art, the grand master who pointed painting forward on its way from Impressionism to the 20th century: Paul Cézanne (1839-1906).
In Paris, but above all in Provence, Cézanne quested tirelessly for "a harmony parallel to Nature" - discovering it in still lifes of apples, in bathers, or in the renowned landscapes of his beloved Montagne Sainte-Victoire.
This book discusses this extraordinary artist's major works and his theories of painting and colour.

» Arta » Arta Chagall
The Russian painter Marc Chagall (1887-1985) is widely regarded as epitomizing the "painter as poet". The worldwide admiration he commanded remains unparalleled by any artist of the century.
Chagall's paintings, steeped in mythology and mysticism, portray colourful dreams and tales that are deeply rooted in his Russian Jewish origins. The memories and yearning they evoke recall his native Vitebsk, and the great events that mark the life of ordinary people: birth, love, marriage and death. They tell of a world full of everyday miracles - in the room of lovers, on the streets of Vitebsk, beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Heaven and earth seem to meet in a topsy-turvy world in which whimsical figures of people and animals float through the air with gravity-defying serenity.

» Arta » Arta Chinese Armorial Porcelain
In the eighteenth century interest in Chine de Commande, Chinese export porcelain made to special order for Europeans, was considerable. Porcelain decorated with coats of arms was particularly popular. For the Dutch market between 600 and 700 fine services with the arms of Dutch families were made, of which some 500 are described here. This reference work is the first publication to deal extensively with the subject. Aside from anyone interested in ceramics, heraldry, genealogy, social and colonial history or the history of East West relations, the book is useful to specialists like museums, libraries, auction houses and antique dealers. As one of the largest importers of Chinese porcelain during the 18th century, especially between 1730 and 1750, the Dutch had quite exceptional armorial services made, decorated with rich heraldic and other personalised images. This fine armorial porcelain reveals the Dutch had their own special taste, which was quite often at odds with that of its neighbouring countries.

» Arta » Arta Cubism
As you'll find out in this guide to the fundamentals of cubism, there is more to the genre than its most famous proponent. Cubism - often identified by flattened, geometric shapes, overlapping, simplified forms and fragmented spatial planes - was quite possibly the most influential movement in 20th-century art.
Featured artists: Pablo Picasso, Edmond Fortier, Paul Cézanne, George Braque, Henri Le Fauconnier, Jean Metzinger, Fernand Léger, Juan Gris, Albert Gleizes, Henri Laurens, Salvador Dalí, Brassai, Robert Delaunay, Raymond Duchamp-Villon

» Arta » Arta Dali
Picasso called Dalí "an outboard motor that's always running." Dalí thought himself a genius with a right to indulge in whatever lunacy popped into his head.
Painter, sculptor, writer and film maker, Salvador Dalí (1904 - 1989) was one of the century's greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics - and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting. Dalí brought extraordinary sensitivity, imagination and concern for precision to bear upon submerged levels of consciousness.
This lively biography presents the infamous Surrealist Dalí in full colour and in his own words. His provocative ideas are all here, from the soft watches to the notorious burning giraffe. And the fantastic phenomenon that was Salvador Dalí is grasped entire and placed in his various contexts.

» Arta » Arta Dali - portofolio
"Every morning when I awake," said the painter of Soft Watches (later retitled The Persistence of Memory), "the greatest of joys is mine: that of being Salvador Dalí..."
The native Catalonian Dalí was obsessed with both money and fame; painting and speaking were his main occupations, his favourite subject - how to discover one's genius. Not exactly loved by the Surrealists, who criticised him for extravagance and his addiction to money (it was André Breton who came up with the anagramm "Avida Dollars"), Dalí's paranoiac-critical method nonetheless provided them with a first-rate instrument to liberate intelligence and imagination from the bonds of memory and dreams.
Had he been born during the Renaissance, his genius would have met with greater acceptance than was the case in our era, which saw him as a constant source of provocation; he, for his part, described the era as 'degenerate'. Dalí commented: "The only difference between me and a madman is the fact that I am not mad", remarking pithily that "The difference between me and the Surrealists is that I am a Surrealist."
Dalí decodes the fantasies and symbols of his Surrealist visions, penetrating the depths of the irrational and subconscious, elevating hard and soft to the level of aesthetic principles. He and Gala, his wife and muse, are mythical couple, she his "existential double", his "perpetuation in immortal memory". At the age of three, Dalí had wanted to become a cook, aged five Napoleon. Thereafter, he continually aspired to something higher - to be divine Dalí forever...
