Vincent van Gogh Gallery - Welcome! evangile-et-peinture Banksy Fine Art: Chagall Ballet Illustrations, signature authentication Expert: Dan Twyman - 8/14/2008 QuestionQUESTION: I have several Chagall Ballet Illustrations printed by Tudor Publishing Co, Mourlot Freres, New York, 1969 with a pencil signature. They are beautiful. The COA is by George Kopel of the National Art Guild. The National Art Guild was a division of National Art Brokers. And: In closing George Kopel is dead. These explanations sound plausible, but there is nothing to substantiate them either way, hence the conundrum! ANSWER: Read this excerpt: There are several works by Dali, Picasso and Matisse currently for sale on eBay, all of them offered with a Certificate of Authenticity. This came from a site about Art Fraud. The link is: Dan QUESTION: Hi Dan, Thanks for you quick response. Thanks again, David AnswerKeep in mind, the Chagall or Dali world or the world of any of the masters, consists of a small group of people that have known each other for years.
Electrifying Photography Robert Buelteman uses high voltage photography Forget the notion of a reverent nature photographer tiptoeing through the woods, camera slung over one shoulder, patiently looking for perfect light. Robert Buelteman works indoors in total darkness, forsaking cameras, lenses, and computers for jumper cables, fiber optics, and 80,000 volts of electricity. This bizarre union of Dr. Frankenstein and Georgia O’Keeffe spawns photos that seem to portray the life force of his subjects as the very process destroys them. Buelteman’s technique is an elaborate extension of Kirlian photography (a high-voltage photogram process popular in the late 1930s) and is considered so dangerous and laborious that no one else will attempt it-even if they could get through all the steps. Buelteman begins by painstakingly whittling down flowers, leaves, sprigs, and twigs with a scalpel until they’re translucent. Via Wired

James Tissot: “The Life of Christ” James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Jesus Goes Up Alone onto a Mountain to Pray (detail), 1886−94. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, 11 3/8 x 6 1/4 in. (28.9 x 15.9 cm). October 23, 2009–January 17, 2010 The exhibition James Tissot: “The Life of Christ” includes 124 watercolors selected from a set of 350 that depict detailed scenes from the New Testament, from before the birth of Jesus through the Resurrection, in a chronological narrative. Born in France, James Tissot (1836−1902) enjoyed great success as a society painter in Paris and London in the 1870s and 1880s. First presented in Paris in 1894, the watercolors were received with great enthusiasm, and a highly publicized exhibition later traveled to London and the United States, visiting Manhattan, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago. This exhibition has been organized by Judith F. The exhibition was made possible, in part, with a generous award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Gustav Courbet : History of Erotic Art Gustav Klimt (1862 - 1918) was an Austrian artist from Vienna who was one of the pioneers of Symbolism and Art Nouveau who is best known for his paintings though was also an incredibly prolific draftsman. "All art is erotic" — Gustav Klimt We usually use self portraits of the artists on ErotiCart, however Klimt famously has no self portrait and is popularly quoted saying "I have never painted a self-portrait. I am less interested in myself as a subject for a painting than I am in other people, above all women...There is nothing special about me. I am a painter who paints day after day from morning to night...Who ever wants to know something about me... ought to look carefully at my pictures." Gustav Klimt was one of the founding members of the Vienna Secession, a group of Austrian artists who had resigned from the Association of Austrian Artists in protest of their restrictive attitudes towards art.
