The picture is a black and white portrait of a woman’s face. Artist name is James Brown and it is dated 9/75. It is a canvas painting. Very mysterious. Found while cleaning out a friends mom’s house just curious to find more information on it. Can anyone help or know of a site that I can post on that may help?
There is an artist who might fit:
http://www.artnet.com/artists/james%2Dbrown%2D3/
Worth asking. Also, have a look at the Wikipedia entry on him.
the painting contains a man playing a violin and has a star case on his legs and other things thrown into it and i forgot the artists name all I remember is the painting was named music but i cant find the painting online
can you describe the style of painting, the medium, approximate size of the painting, when it was painted, maybe even what the man looked like?
I want to buy a painting from an artist not just a print of the painting, I love the painting so much I want the original at any cost, literally. The painting is specifically "Krahe" by Rudi Hurzlmeier. Any information on how to track down the artist or painting itself would be great help.
Ask him

I inherited a painting by Doris Cox from my late uncle.
I cannot find any information other than the artist painted in Chula Vista, California. This is where my uncle lived as well. My uncle (my great uncle) died at 80. I read an obituary from Minnesota on a woman who was taught by the late Doris Cox and the woman in the obituary was born in 1927. So it gives me a loose idea on how old this painting is.
I want more information if possible on the artist Doris Cox.
Can anyone give me any information?

Artist in the sense of someone skilled (or I suppose unskilled) in painting.
My favourite artist is John Collier, favourite painting being Lady Godiva, mostly because I find the legend of Lady Godiva interesting.
This is a very interesting question for me because it strikes to the very heart of my rather odd sense of aesthetics. I am a mathematician, and as such am accustomed to seeing patterns — mathematics — everywhere. For that reason, I would select M. C. Escher, because his art is one of ideas, mathematical ideas! My favorite Escher piece is his "Print Gallery," because it embodies concepts akin to stereographic projection and conformal mapping, albeit in a very different setting. The ideas intrigue me in the extreme, they engage my mind.
I’ll include a link about the piece below:

May I also add that the elements of self-reference are distinctively Gödelian, and Escher is saying something significant, and in his time quite new, about the structure of consciousness as well. Though there are many pieces that elicit aesthetic arrest for other reasons, this one keeps turning my mind back to it.
I was getting a tattoo, and the shop I was at had really awesome painting, and I wanted to buy some, but I have no idea what the artists name was. One of the paintings I remember was a womens leg with a diamond ankle bracelet, and a mans leg it looks like he has a suit on…and the womens leg has a tattoo on it. The tattoo artists told me that the guy was a famous painter, but I forgot his name, and can’t find it on google anywhere.

Why most artist choose painting as their medium in artistic work?
thank you!
I reckon the question is "why DO most artists choose painting?"
The premise may not be very solid for this question, as I am not sure most artists choose painting. I would hazard a guess that most artists who paint or sculpt also draw – and then there are the artists who draw, so drawing would seem to be the most popular medium.
But, if you accept the premise that "most" artists choose to paint, there are several reasons:
1) It is a classic art form, steeped in centuries of tradition and taught in virtually every art school in the world.
2) Painting is the most difficult way to create an image – there is a strong intellectual and psychological challenge inherent to the pursuit. Artists are frequently intellectuals, this is a suitable challenge for them.
3) Painting is open to extensive interpretation, it’s hardly exhausted in possibilities. Consider the fact that people have been painting for thousands of years, and yet we’re still in the throws of totally new movements of expression and ideas, not to mention the continual evolution of painting mediums.
4) Very practically, it’s easier to construct, store and move a painting than a sculpture. It takes less studio and gallery space, paintings can be rolled or put into flat files… it’s much more accessible than a large piece of wood or marble and requires less equipment and facilities than welding or casting metal.
Those things are fairly rational, but I suspect many artists would suggest that the medium chooses them. Meaning there is a physicality and a connection to the very act of painting that captivates them much the way pro-athletes dedicates themselves to a sport, or a musician to their instrument.
It’s an appropriation of another painting where oranges are painted scattered over a table with a cloth on it, i think? yeh does anyone know the artist or what the painting is called? thankss xx

What’s the name of the artist who painted a painting of all the saints ascending to the New Jerusalem, and if you look carefully you can see that it’s the cardinals and the clergy in the back, and the poor and lame in the front?
Thanks a billion!
The was the Spaniard Abelardo Confordo from the Smetana School of Nueva Vista art, centered in Madrid, I’m sure you guessed.
I am a B.F.A. in applied arts, but am good at painting and want to pursue a career in it.
Why don’t you go to websites where painter jobs are advertised? There is e.g. http://www.painterjobs.net/ which is specialized at your field of interest. You can go there, browse through the jobs that are on offer, and apply for some. Good luck in finding your career.
