As an English as a second language speaker I can guarantee reading children’s books and studying art is one of the fastest and best way to learn English and improve your vocabulary.

The ISMS in Art I – RENAISSANCE: Illusionism

Illusionism is the technique used by artists to create perspective illusion, when the viewer is tricked into mistaking painted objects for real ones.  In the Renaissance era it was very admired, since it cares the ambition of bringing images into existence.

There are two technical terms used in illusionism, the first one is “Trompe I’oeil” French for “deceiving the eye” normally used for smaller objects, and the second one is “Quadratura” referring to larger scale of painting, like this one I used to illustrate the term.  In this painting Andrea Mantegna brings the illusion of an open ceiling, where we have the lovely conception of direct connection to heaven and its angel, always being guarded, always being blessed by their presence.

Some of the Artists:

  • Donato Bramante
  • Correggio
  • Jan Van Eyck
  • Andrea Mantegna

The digital world has improved art in so many ways, especially becoming more accessible for everyone, which I believe is essential to educate and inspire the upcoming generations. The Belgian Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage has made available all 14 volumes of Max J. Friedlander’s English edition of Early Netherlandish Painting (1967-1976).

Hi everyone,

There is something I would like to share with you all: I started watching this series called “Work of Art: The next Great Artist” by Bravo, and it’s become evident to me that most of the artists competing have not trained their eyes to good art.

I always tell artists the importance to train their eyes to good art, especially the classical (well-skilled) movements like: Baroque, Renaissance, also Impressionism.  Even if you are an urbanist artist, futurist artist, abstract artist go to the museums of classical art, read books about the great masters, contemplate their work, learn their process, study their techniques; this way you can train your eyes to high skilled art, developing a critical sense of aesthetics,  helping to bring their greatness to your movement, improving your style, and becoming indeed a Great Artist.

Is it a Van Gogh or a Gogh Van?

So apparently the publisher of “The Lost Arles Sketchbook” by Van Gogh is threatening to take legal action if anyone says the drawings are fake:

“reserved the right to undertake any appropriate action to repair the damage caused by these claims that describe her [the book’s owner] as a forger.”

In my opinion the drawings have a very modern style, and lack of details. My guess is that if the drawings are fakes, then they have been made relatively recently. Let’s stay tuned….
