Oil painting Frame
Oil painting Frame
Warmly welcome visit our site : www.art-ych.com
That's how I feel about the big Norman Rockwell exhibition that opens today at the Detroit Institute of Modern art . Well, hate isn't exactly right. I find Rockwell to be a virtuoso illustrator, a master storyteller and concoctor of escapist nostalgia and fantasy. He can be funny and, of course, he tugs at the heartstrings as relentlessly as Old Yeller.And believe it or not, Rockwell, once derided as the Rembrandt of Punkin' Crick, has found a home in American museums. The handmade oil paintings of high culture are still wrangling over whether his arrival is a sign of decadence or redemption, but no matter how you look at it, Rockwell remains a special case.He is an Animal painting in complete command of his technique and whose iconic images have left an indelible mark on the American imagination. He is endlessly fascinating for the questions his idealized apple pie-and-mom iconography and easy-to-grasp pictures raise about the perils of popularity, the hegemony of the mass media and the evolving notions of fine art, kitsch and the avant-garde.
"American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell," first organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass., but smartly reconceived by the DIA, includes 43 oil paintings, all 323 of the artist's Saturday Evening Post covers and the ubiquitous "Four Freedoms" posters from World War II. The show, which runs through May 31, makes the Landscape oil painting case that there was more to Rockwell than meets the eye, without, gratefully, trumpeting him, as others have, as a Yankee version of a Dutch master like Vermeer.
But with a handful of exceptions, the paintings here are dead on arrival. There is no life in the surfaces. The brushwork and color lay mute. Many pictures are so overstuffed with detail they suggest clogged Impression painting. It's reasonable to forgive the parade of freckle-faced children, fuzzy family scenes, small-town syrup and triumphant Waspism -- a falsely sanitized picture of the American experience
on the grounds that Rockwell was, after all, an ad man Oil painting Frame a mirage designed to sell everything from magazines to corn flakes. (2 of 4)

HONG KONG (Reuters Life!) - Global auction house Sotheby's said on Friday it expects to sell $77 million of art painting at its major spring Asian sales in Hong Kong, a substantial scaling back of business from a year ago as the financial crisis bites.Sotheby's, which hosts two major sales of Asian artwork in Hong Kong in the spring and autumn, last spring sold HK$1.77 billion ($228.3 million) worth of artwork, classical painting almost three times as much as what it expects to sell this time round.In London too also a series of auctions of largely Western artwork from Christie's and Sotheby's earlier this month saw combined sales revenues for both auction houses fall around 75 percent from the previous season's tally.Despite such troubling signs, Sotheby's said its Hong Kong sales would be of a condensed but high quality.
"We have put together this well-edited auction series guided by collectors' demand for quality, rarity and immaculate provenance," said Kevin Ching, chief executive officer for Sotheby's in Asia."All works have been priced to reflect the current market condition," he added in a statement.In the giddy days before the financial crisis deepened last September, Sotheby's smashed a slew of auction records as red-hot global demand for Asian art including Chinese oil painting contemporary decoration paintings and rare imperial treasures, sent prices soaring.A rare Chinese Ming dynasty gold tripod vessel for instance, sold for HK$116.8 million ($15.1 million) last April.But last autumn, demand began weakening for Asian art among once free-spending collectors as the global credit woes deepened.Over 1,700 objects will be hammered off at Sotheby's upcoming Asia sales including Chinese classical and contemporary paintings, imperial ceramics, jewelry and watches.
The sale will include Sotheby's first major wine auction in Hong Kong which is positioning itself as a wine hub, with $3 million of fine vintages expected to be auctioned off.
Other highlights include a painting of "Mount Jiuhua" by Chinese master Li Keran that could fetch up to $500,000, and a pair of "Famille-rose" mille-fleur bowls from the Qing dynasty Yongzheng period, that could be hammered off for $2.6 million.

While many painters find success in painting scenery like landscapes or seascapes from photographs, others wouldn’t paint anywhere but outdoors in the open air with the scenery right in front of them.That describes the Half Moon Bay Plein Air group paintings, an informal collective of about 10 Coastside oil painting artists who have been together since August. They meet twice weekly to paint -- and will have their first exhibit through February at the Half Moon Bay Library, at 620 Correas St. in Half Moon Bay.
About 18 paintings by members of the group, which includes Eric Greenhut, Eric Shapira, Jack McKinnon, Nancy Margulies, Rebecca Ellis, Patricia Madson, Chris Ridgway, Linda Bea Miller and more, will be on display, and some will be for sale. Plein air painter Jack McKinnon stands before selections in the art painting exhibit the of the new Half Moon Bay Plein Air group paintings, which will be on display through February at the Half Moon Bay Library. The group meets Wednesday mornings at various locations to paint, and again Thursday mornings at Peet’s Coffee to finish their paintings. They also help each other by sharing tips and techniques, said McKinnon. A self-taught artist who has painted for 30 years, he said he likes the camaraderie and the exchange of tips such as techniques for a watercolor wash that he picked up from fellow member Greenhut.I really enjoy painting outdoors, with other painters for support and technique,” he said. “I don’t understand how to do watercolor, and when you’re able to be outdoors painting with other people, it’s really helpful to see how (they) do it.”All the paintings will capture Coastside scenery like the mountains, the ocean, lighthouses or the Princeton harbor – created in natural light right on site.
Painting outdoors on site has advantages over indoors from a photo, said McKinnon. Light and color are key: When an oil painting artist is looking at the subject in natural, not artificial light, “you can see the true colors of a landscape. Light is absolutely paramount to getting the true colors.”Natural light also enhances the emotional tone of the paintings, he added. “Often, the feeling of a scene is able to be depicted directly on paper.”An opening reception is planned for the artists from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20, at the library.The plein air group welcomes new members. For information, contact Greenhut at (650) 477-7085.
