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.

Une lumière d’aube un peu orageuse marque le côté dramatique de la scène représentée; j’ai emprunté à Pierro della Francesca le groupe du christ au second plan de sa flagellation; et les faciès de ceux qui dévisagent Pierre
proviennent de Jérôme Bosch et de Francisco Goya, tandis que leurs corps sont interprétés du Tintoret. Mon Saint Pierre est celui de La voie lactée de
Buñuel: Jean Clarieux (et pour cause, c’est mon père) jouait ce rôle (ce
fût d’ailleurs son dernier personnage au cinéma ; il est mort l’année suivante, et est parti rencontrer le vrai Saint Pierre – en tout cas je l’espère pour lui).
Saint Pierre, donc, est en déséquilibre, à la fois déstabilisé par le hiératisme lumineux et calme du Jésus de Pierro della Francesca, qui reste impassible sous les coups de fouet, et effrayé par les contorsions grotesques que ceux
qui aiment le sang et la délation, et qui hurlent avec le coq annonçant le drame de la passion. Au déséquilibre et à l’hésitation de Pierre, entre la force et la faiblesse, entre le courage et la peur, répond le déséquilibre de cette heure incertaine où la lumière hésite, et où le chant du coq est à la fois l’ultime cri d’angoisse de la nuit, et le premier témoin du jour qui réapparaît enfin.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

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.
