"Киса, скажите мне как художник художнику, Вы рисовать умеете?"
И.Ильф, Е.Петров "12 стульев"
Пытаюсь тут трудоустроиться без оформления официально. С одного из сайтов пришла вакансия Преподаватель изо дистанционно. В памяти всплыл ужасающий эпизод срыва мной и плодом моего творчества урока химии в школе.
В общем, дело было так. В свободное от расстановки валентностей и решения окислительно-восстановительных уравнений время я решила на уроке нарисовать бегемота. Не знаю, зачем я это сделала, но отчетливо помню, что под изображением подписала БЕГЕМОТ. Мой коварный одноклассник увидел шедевр и начал фыркать. Затем пустил листочек с чудовищем по рядам.
В результате урок химии был сорван. Нет, на эту вакансию я, к сожалению, не подхожу.
Francois Fressinier was born in Cognac, France in 1968. He attributes much of his passion for the human figure to the fact that both of his parents were professional portrait photographers. He studied advertising and fine art at the Ecole Brassart Technique et Privee in Tours, near Paris. He also received a strong academic training in art from his father, to whom he gives credit for teaching him not to paint, but to see. That unique sight, colored with an esteem for the expressive linear drawing of Egon Schiele, has evolved into a personal style that is fluid, truly lovely, and classical in nature. It is his mastery of light and shadow and the delicate economy of his line which call to mind the exquisite conte drawings of Leonardo or sketches done by Ingres or Raphael. He even states his favorite time in history as being In a time period where time, speed and productivity were not the number one occupation of our days.
Most of the time Annelies Jonkhart lives and works in Zaandam, Holland. Recently however, inspired by her travels in the United States, she has been painting in Salt Lake City, Utah for a few months out of the year. She paints, in a realistic manner, mostly items which show the signs of the time but still serve a purpose in this day and age. The combination of these objects with for example a variety of fruits, results in a harmony of colors.
Annelies: "I prefer to use enamel objects in the traditional Dutch colors of a crisp blue and white, just like it could have been sitting on a farmers shelf in years gone by. Sometimes the objects will have been damaged or rusted, but the expression is still there. That is what I am trying to convey on the panel, the color balance and the material expression have the highest priority."
