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.

Pour moi ce fut le deuxième travail d'apprentissage que j'eus à faire dans ma première année en atelier en 2009.
Le tableau que j'appelle ici les forains est appelé "Les roulottes, campement de bohémiens aux environ d’Arles, peint en août 1888 (41 x 51 cm)". Aussi appelé "Les roulottes de Vincent Van Gogh", le tableau original est au Musée d'Orsay à Paris.
« Une petite étude d’une halte de forains, voitures rouges et vertes », c’est ce qu’écrit Van Gogh à Théo, son frère et fidèle confident. Dans la continuité des scènes champêtres, Van Gogh met en peinture cette troupe de forains. La scène est saisie sur le vif lors d'une pause sans doute. Il n'y a pas de temps à perdre. "Entre un vert Véronèse intense et une ocre blanchie imposante, l’errance se pose. Entre ciel et terre, hommes, femmes, enfants, chevaux s’installent sous la lumière d’août. Perception sur-le-champ, touche pressée, couleurs franches, délice de l’exécution, le campement de gitans est brossé sur le vif. Examinez la composition de cette toile, et vous en comprendrez le rythme saccadé". (Source Sébastien Hebray)
