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.

My Ponte Solferino is the 7th picture in my catalogue Criss-Crossing Arlines. We spent the day after our arrival on Piazza Solferino. The part of the pier between Via Roma and Via Santa Maria is called “Lung’Arno Pacinotti”. Alongside the narrow sidewalk, ribbon rails are inset into the road. First I thought they use them for the transport of shiploads. However, I haven’t seen any ships. I stayed at this place to do some sketching of the unique bridge pillar. Each of them looked like a ship’s hold turn upside down, with one of the bows facing in the direction of the square. Apparently the pillar must be curved from top to bottom, because I could not see any contact point between the pillar and the crosswalk from my point of view. The crosswalk seemed to float above the seemingly useless pillars. Since I’ve heard that the Arno is high many times during the rainy season, I assume that this oversized pillars are a necessary construction. Painted on a canvaswrapped woodden frame and onto the edges, so it need no additional framing.
