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.

D'après un document photo pris en Ecosse cet été. Ces arbres "noués" au-dessus d'un tas de pierres du soleil éclatant et de l'ombre constituaient tout le charme et la poésie de ce sujet. Huile au couteau. About this artwork:[...]

From 1960 to 72, trader, I sometimes painted in my Bar-Restaurant. Paintings according to the mood of the day, the weather, the inspiration, ...... 40 paintings approximately subjected to the criticism of the customers of passage.
From 72 to the end of 92, material stored in the oubliettes. My very busy professional activity allowed me, in too rare instances, not to completely "lose control" !.
Since 93, retired, I paint every day, oil, watercolor, engraving.
Self-taught, I enroll in local artistic societies, attend workshops, participate in street painting competitions, group exhibitions, local, regional and national or alone.
Fan of impressionism, figurative, landscape I like everything that is color contrast. Perfectionist I do not like the approximate.

From 1960 to 72, trading, I used to paint sometimes in my Bar-Restaurant. Paintings according to the mood of the day, time, inspiration ...... 40 canvases approximately subjected to the criticism of the customers. From 72 to the end of 92, I almost stopped painting. My new job enabled me to practice but not very often. Since 93, when I retired, I've been painting everyday: oil, watercolor, engraving. Autodidact, I'm a member of several local artistic societies, frequent painting workshops, take part in painting contests in the street, in exhibitions, local, regional and national or on my own. Fond of impressionism, figurative expression and landscape, I like everything that is contrast of colors. Perfectionist, I do not like the approximation.

From 1960 to 72, negociando, solaba pintar a veces en mi Bar-Restaurante. Pinturas según el humor del día, tiempo, inspiración ...... 40 obras subjectadas aproximadamente a la crítica de los clients. Desde 72 al final of 92, casi paré el pintar. Mi nuevo trabajo me permitió practicar pero no muy a menudo. Desde 93, puesto that me retired, pinto diario, oleo, aquarela, grabado. Self-taught, del quepo en las compañías artísticas local, frecuentes de los talleres, participo in competiciones de pintar en la calle, in exposiciones de grupo, local, regional y nacional or como recluse. Amator del impressionism, figurado, paisaje tengo gusto de todo que sea contrast of colors. Perfeccionista, no tengo gusto de la aproximación.
