The Art Room: Seascapes: Winslow Homer

http://www.theartroomonline.net/2014/07/maine-winslow-homer.html

Winslow Homer (American, 1836—1910) is best known for his marine paintings, so it's fitting that the new theme of "The Sea" begins with several of his works. His intense interest in the subject began in the 1880s, when he moved to a cottage just 75 feet from the sea, in Prout's Neck, Maine. Some of Homer's sea paintings include figures and dramatic narrative, but these paintings focus exclusively on the drama of nature:. Oil on canvas 30.2" × 48.5" 1900. Oil on canvas 28.5" x 48 3/8" 1894. Please conside...

The Art Room: Sleep: Henri Rousseau

http://www.theartroomonline.net/2014/10/sleep-henri-rousseau.html

French, b. 1844-1910) worked as a toll collector, painting as a hobby until retirement. He painted in a flat, primitive style that invited much ridicule during his lifetime; his work was seen as unserious. The younger Pablo Picasso was one of the first people to recognize Rousseau's talent, when he found one his canvases on sale as a surface to be painted over, and then went to meet him. Today even small children recognize the beauty and narrative power of his dream-like images:. June 21, 2016 at 6:41 AM.

The Art Room: Cityscapes: Oswaldo Guayasamín

http://www.theartroomonline.net/2014/06/cityscapes-oswaldo-guayasamin.html

Roger Brown has recommended that we look at the work of Oswaldo Guayasamín ( Ecuadorian. 1919-1999) for the current theme of the cityscape. Guayasamín's paintings often capture the political oppression and severe divisions between the classes in Ecuador as well as in the rest of South America. In discussing Guayasamín's series of paintings of his native Quito, Roger says:. Quito Sangriente (Bloody Quito). Paisage de Quito (Quito Landscape). Quito Noir (Black Quito). Photo credit Joel Day.
