Artists

I have a large appro:4ft by 6ft pastel on canvas abstract by this artist and have had no luck in finding info mation about it. Please help.
This abstract has FERRANTE written along one of the acrylic strokes. The name is only written FERRANTE….not JFERRENTE,or deFERRANT

Yes, I have. You can find Mario De Ferrante online.

I need to know for project. Thanks for the help!

check your local coffee shops for something similar to what you are looking for- many of the artworks are for sale and have a number for the artist to be contacted. Most artists are open to commissions.

Also, check with your local university’s art dept. Phone book… etc.

Subject of this finely done work shows a mexican gentleman taking a siesta against an adobe wall and a ceramic jug alongside him.
A spokesperson I talked to at the navajoe gallery in Taos N.M. stated over the phone Virginia Dooley was not in,but told me she was not an artist and would not have signed a pastel done by R.C. Gorman in 1961.

Virgina Dooley came up in these results:

Virginia Dooley, Gorman’s estate manager and director of the Navajo Gallery in Taos, and a defendant in the lawsuit, says Sparks has been "claiming to have done Gorman’s work for years." But she says he is only known to have painted the backgrounds of Gorman’s paintings and is not entitled to anything beyond what was in Gorman’s will. When Gorman was alive, such claims didn’t get very far because the artist squashed them, says Dooley.

Good luck!

So far these:
Adolph Schepansky (American)
Wladimir Schepansky (Canadian, 1895)
Augustus Schepansky
I’ve not found any information yet… I’m still looking:) I’ll update as I find things. The fact that it says" Pastel by Schepansky" would lead one to believe that it may be a reproduction. Is that hand-written or printed on the back? None of these three are well documented enough to know if their works were, in fact, reproduced. Well… that’s about it without subscribing to one to the sites. I would contact the gallery (below) that exhibited W. Schepansky for more information… beyond that, I would have it appraised by a reputable person. I wish you good luck!

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!! ; )

For the project I need them, I need to use chalk pastels, or non oil based pastels.
These are their soft pastel ones, are they oil based?
No yes and no answers, I just need to know what they are because I can’t find any information on them.
Oil pastels can stain resin, which is what I am working on.
Thank you in advance.
Answer #2, I CAN’T USE OIL BASED. They stain the resin types I use, making them useless to reuse, I can only use chalk pastels.

Look for Polychromos pastels. This is the modern version of the old dray pastels (chalks). They are oil base but very hard, Does not brake easily, can be erased and comes in very large range of colors. Some natural red chalks and white chalks are made of minerals like clay and calcium but prepare for a lot of mess and they requires some practice.

I have always seen these tags they look like they were done with a crayon or oil pastel i have been taggin for over a year and still cant find this thing. So what is it and were can i get it at. Also if there is like bootleg brand or material that works the same way please tell! And also ( to all the ppl who think there mom and dad out there) i know graff is wrong but it my decision and to me i respect it as art so don’t give me a ear full on how its wrong!!

they are mean streaks and sakura makers rather nice u can cut them in half and put two different colors together. check em out www.artprimo.com

The pictures are usually of beautiful greek women in paradise lounging on marble benches beneath greacian pillars. His work may have been in pastels but the colors are very soft and peaceful. I am at a loss as to what his name is and I need it for a novel I am writing. Thank you.

My friend, you are talking about a turn of the century American artist named Maxfield Parrish. He painted oils on canvas and worked with watercolor to do illustrations for magazines. It was his magazine illustrations that brought him fame starting in the 1920s. He was extremely popular to the ‘Flappers’ from the Roaring 20s. Then the counter-culture hippies re-discovered him and his art and made it popular again. The cartoonist who created ‘Bloom County’ further increased the new interest in Parrish’s artwork by using it as backdrops for the dream fantasies of Opus.

Here are some links that should help you:

(The first of the faux Greek paintings he did was called ‘Daybreak’ and it became so popular, so famous during it’s time that thousands of prints were made of it.)

Here is a Bloom County version of a Parrish painting:
