Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Un bateau viking sillonne les eaux tumultueuses, portant fièrement son équipage intrépide. Les guerriers vikings, vêtus de leurs armures, se tenaient debout sur le navire, prêts à affronter les défis de la mer.

Le bateau glisse sur les vagues, la proue fend l'eau avec une grâce redoutable, tandis que les rameurs pagayaient en rythme, propulsant la barque vers l'inconnu.

À l'horizon, se dessine la silhouette d'un village perché sur les collines. Les maisons aux toits de chaume semble veiller sur la côte, offrant un refuge bienvenu pour les voyageurs fatigués. La fumée s'éleve des cheminées, signe d'une vie paisible à l'intérieur des murs du village.

Ce tableau capture l'esprit aventureux des vikings, des marins intrépides prêts à affronter les défis de la mer pour découvrir de nouveaux horizons. Le contraste entre le bateau en mer agitée et le village paisible sur les collines évoque le mélange unique de bravoure et de tranquillité qui caractérise la vie viking.

Nicolas Roerich (1874-1947) was a Russian-born artist, philosopher, archaeologist and humanitarian who made significant contributions to the worlds of art, culture and spirituality.

Born on October 9, 1874 in St. Petersburg, Russia, Roerich came from a family of intellectuals and was exposed to art and culture from an early age . He showed an early talent for painting and pursued studies at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg.

Roerich became famous for his distinct style of symbolism and fascination for the mystical and the spiritual. He painted landscapes, portraits and scenes inspired by his travels in Russia and Asia. His works were often characterized by ethereal landscapes, ancient architecture and mystical symbols.

One of his most important contributions was his participation in a series of expeditions to Asia , notably in Tibet, India and Mongolia, between 1923 and 1930. These expeditions aimed to study and document the culture, art and history of the region. His travels deeply influenced his artistic work and philosophy.

Roerich was not only an artist, but also a philosopher and writer. He has written several books on Asian art, spirituality and cultural heritage. His writings often focused on themes such as peace, unity and the preservation of cultural treasures.

One of his most enduring legacies is the Roerich Pact, also known as the name 'Treaty on the Protection of Artistic and Scientific Institutions and Historic Monuments'. This international treaty, signed in 1935, aimed to protect cultural heritage in times of conflict. He laid the foundations for the protection of art and cultural heritage in times of war.

Roerich's work had a lasting impact on the art world and inspired many artists, particularly in the fields of mysticism and symbolism. His ideas on the unity of art and spirituality also influenced his contemporaries and subsequent generations.

Roerich spent the end of his life in India, where he established his residence and an art institute in the Himalayas. He continued to paint and promote his philosophical ideas until his death on December 13, 1947. His legacy lives on through his art, his writings, and continued efforts to preserve the world's cultural heritage.
