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.

Le pont Saint-Laurent est un pont reliant la commune de Saint-Laurent-sur-Saône dans le département de l'Ain et la commune de Mâcon dans le département de Saône-et-Loire.
Avant l'ère chrétienne, il est probable que la Saône se traversait à gué.
C'est probablement au XIème siècle que fut réalisé ce pont de pierre, il est cité dans un texte de 1077.
Dès 1221, l'évêque Aymond le fait fortifier et le place sous la protection de Saint-Nicolas, patron des bateliers.
Jusqu'au XVIIème siècle un droit de péage pour l'entretien de l'ouvrage était prélevé à la fois sur le franchissement et la navigation.
Dans la seconde moitié du XVème siècle le pont fut allongé par six nouvelles arches pour dévier le cours de la Saône vers la Bresse et ainsi réduire les inondations.
En 1843, quatre arches furent surélevées pour faciliter la navigation.
En septembre 1944, l'armée allemande en retraite tenta en vain de le détruire pour ralentir l'avancée alliée.
Depuis le 6 Juillet 1987, le pont fait l'objet d'un classement au titre des monuments historiques.

Cadre noir (3,5 cm) strié avec vitre.

Marker

Drawing made using a large felt with its own ink source. The ink may or may not be indelible.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
