"Numerous artists and writers living in France in the late 19th and early 20th century were noted absinthe drinkers who featured absinthe in their work. These included Vincent van Gogh, Édouard Manet, Amedeo Modigliani, Arthur Rimbaud, Guy de Maupassant, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Paul Verlaine. Later artists and writers drew from this cultural well, including Pablo Picasso, August Strindberg, Oscar Wilde, and Ernest Hemingway. Aleister Crowley was also known to be a habitual absinthe drinker. Emile Cohl, an early pioneer in the art of animation, presented the effects of the drink in 1919 with the short film, Hasher’s delirium.

Two famous painters who helped popularize the notion that absinthe had powerful psychoactive properties were Toulouse Lautrec and Vincent van Gogh. In one of the best known accounts of absinthe drinking, Oscar Wilde described the feeling of having tulips on his legs after leaving a bar. Today it is known that absinthe does not cause hallucinations. Thujone, the active chemical in absinthe, is a GABA antagonist; and while it can produce muscle spasms in large doses, there is no evidence that it causes hallucinations. It has been speculated that reports of hallucinogenic effects of absinthe may have been due to poisonous chemicals being added to cheaper versions of the drink in the 19th century, to give it a more vivid color."

I have an ancient print with this name at the bottom. It is of cattle wading through a river with mountains beyond. It’s very like the work of S.R. Percy.

1888-1950. Apparently he was a very prolific painter and illustrator. More usually known as J.W. Gozzard or Goyyard. So prolific he even used a pseudonym, F. Arnold!

What added benefits does pastel provide?

The finished piece would usually sell for more money and the colors are super intense, if high quality pastel is used. Also, the ability to blend and build up color is more akin to paint!! ; )

Is it already stretched? If not, restretch it. Is the old paint really built up on the canvas? If so (assuming it’s prestretched) you might want to undo it and stretch it again, which can flatten it out. Then you gesso it. I would suggest two layers of gesso if you don’t want the old stuff showing through, but if you like the old layers, just start painting. If you’re painting in oils as well, you’ll have no problems (I wouldn’t recomed putting acrylic on top of an old oil painting though). Starving artists have been painting over old canvases for hundreds of years.

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.

No, they don’t see any "deeper" side of life; they just have more creative imaginations than many of us.

They are both beach scenes, really bright and colourful. I’ve searched the internet but can find nothing about this artist. Can anyone throw any light on who they are and where I might find antyhing else by them?

Beach scenes, landscapes, flowers, are pretty common and steriotypical for painters who aren’t famous or original. So I doubt you’ll find the guy youre looking for. You could probably find someone better on ebay.
I don’t know how good these prints are but hope it wasn’t expensive………

in the book, Sophie goes to the museum in Boston and sits in front of a painting. the painting is of a man with red hair and a red beard and wearing a yellow hat. he’s dancing with a girl. does anyone remember the name of the artist who painted this picture? its in the book, but i don’t have the book with me.

Hi! It sounds like:
Renoir’s ‘Dance at Bougival’ – 1883

Since he just died in 2007, I was just wondering if he could still be considered one.

I think of the word contemporary as a constantly moving target, so to speak. Because contemporary means now.

If I was asking someone which contemporary artist was relevant to them, I would want them to talk about their own contemporaries, the artists who share this time and make art currently.

On the other hand, if we are studying the history of contemporary art, how far back do we go? Art since the end of World War II is often taught as contemporary art. So, looking at it that way, Kitaj might be considered quite contemporary. Also, having studied with David Hockney, who is still living, Kitaj is/was the contemporary of a living artist.

If you qualify your interest in Kitaj as a contemporary artist, i think you could make a case for that.
