Sadly, Impressionism nowadays is viewed as the source of pretty (and repetitious) pictures of water lilies and ballet dancers. In the late 1800s, it was a slap in the face of accepted aesthetics, because captured only "impressions" of the moment, rather than solid, classically composed views.
I personally prefer Edouard Manet, the founder of the movement. He favored flat, volumeless color, capturing the moment as the other Impressionists did, but did not lose any sense of subject. He tended to portray the darker side of French life — see "The Bar at the Folies-Bergere".
(Btw… Redon is a Symbolist, and Van Gogh is a Post-Impressionist. Very different movements from Impressionism.)
I inherited this painting upon the death of a relative. I can’t clearly read the artists name on the painting. It’s a very nice oil landscape – best as I can tell the last name is Zissagy, could be Ziassa, or Ziassg. Have tried looking up every which way I can with no results. The date under the name is ‘32. Of course that could be 1832 or 1932??
Go to your local gallery and ask if they recognize the art. The painting may had been done by a local artist from years ago.
I want to buy large, industrial size chalk pastel; the kind that artist Julian Beever uses for his sidewalk drawings.
I’ve checked Art Friend, and various other art stores in Bras Basah, but no luck.
Toy stores sell large, chunky, colored chalks under the generic description of "sidewalk" chalks. I have seen it sold in large buckets, or tubs with, maybe 30 or 40 colors.
or the name of the canvas.
Ellsworth Kelly maybe:

It was one of the abstract expressonists of the late 50’s – early 60’s.
We all know that artists generally see the "deeper" side of life, but is this all the time, or only when they choose, such as in the process of creating the art? Is the regular person incapable of seeing, or for the most part understanding what the artist sees? Is the artistic perception a part of every person that just needs exercise to be accessed? How do you truly know if you are an artist?
These are my general questions, which of course lead into many others.
I think my answer to your other question also sheds some light here.. science is discovering that regular people are incapable of accessing their right brain (which is used in novel and creative thinking) as much as people with schizotypal personalities. It’s not a choice, it is a personality trait.. as far as science has been able to determine it is also genetic. http://www.livescience.com/health/050907_schizotype_creative.html
Hey,
Im a make-up artist and want to know if anyone can recommend a UK based online shop or store I could buy a nice portfolio to showcase my work. I am thinking of something big enough to put A4 sized prints in. But wasn’t sure what is in? What size or Material? I wanted to do it as cheaply as possible but want my photos and prints to look good in a display book, can anyone recommend some nice books which are safe for photographic images etc..
Thanks a bunch.

Hi tracey, Go to WHSmiths!
I want to learn how to create torn paper art. I’ve seen it in museums and on the internet and want to know how to do it. What kind of paper do I use? Do I glue it? What kind of glue do I use? I really think this could be fun. I love art and have always been interested in doing this sort of thing. So, how do I go about doing this?
Fine Art is created using the artist hands to tear tiny bits of recycled magazine paper; layering the pieces using everyday glue to the canvas of choice. Many artists have chosen to create their work in mixed media or collage, the artwork described in this article will focus on only using hand torn paper to create impressionistic art similar to the popular french impressionists work.
Here’s a good link I found.

It doesn’t matter what type of glue you use. The only rule is that you can’t use scissors. =)
Also, it doesn’t matter what kind of paper you use. But to make it easy, go with just regular construction paper. =)
The church dance team director is needing to know so we can get the song. We have Hillsong but we don’t like the style. Anyone know….

What does the tittle of ”a portrait of the artist as a young man” by James Joyce stand for?

I think the title is literally not reflected in the novel .. but on the other hand, throughout the novel we learned that it is a portrait of an artist as an artist throughout his whole life as a child, teen and young man. Any useful comment support my perspective!
I agree with the other guy. "The artist" is him–or Stephen Daedalus, and it’s simply a description of his development as an artist. You’ll see this theme throughout the book. He really focuses on experiences that had some kind of impact on Stephen/himself as an artist and contributed to Stephen’s artistic development.
On a side note, for a play on this idea, check out Dylan Thomas’s Portrait of the artist as a Young Dog.
What artists use natural structures in their work? I really need this for art homework so that I can research them
