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.

Pastel sur Aquarelle travaillée sur papier aquarelle "Arches" - J'exprime avec mes couleurs toute ma tristesse à l'égard de cette magnifique Cathédrale atteinte par le feu et qui fait partie de mon enfance et de mon adolescence puisque nous habitions proche du quartier du Marais. Cette peine, elle est toute personnelle et je me rends seulement compte aujourd'hui que de vivre dans un quartier historique parait naturel alors que c'est un privilège dont on ne se nourrit pas assez et dont on ne mesure pas l'ampleur du cadeau ! En vérité, je suis en état de choc et je ne peux croire à tout ce patrimoine d'histoire et de partage qui a disparu et aussi à tout ce qui a pu être sauvé grâce au travail inhumain des pompiers qui prenait des risques incroyables ! Bravo et merci à eux ! Un mouvement solidaire dans le monde entier pour reconstruire cette oeuvre monumentale me touche beaucoup et là encore, je n'avais pas compris toute l'importance de son existence à cette grande Dame ! Un bel acte d'Amour du monde entier ! Est-ce que cela répond à la question : Pourquoi ?

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
