ABOUT THE TENYO ART GALLERY<\/span><\/h5>\n

I created this project as a fun way for Tenyophiles to learn about art. It was a lot of work to create the Tenyo Art and just as much work to compile all of the information and create the page. There is a wealth of interesting information and I recommend that you explore all the links. \u00a0I hope you enjoy this page and that you learn something as well. I for sure learned a lot while creating this page.<\/span><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE ARTIST:<\/span> Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer of the High Renaissance who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. He is known for his sculptures as much as his paintings. His sculpture of David (from the bible story of David and Goliath) is one of the most know sculptures in existence today. You can see David in Florence, Italy but In my opinion his sculpture<\/span> Piet\u00e0<\/span><\/a><\/span> is the most beautiful of all his creations. You can see the Piet\u00e0 in St. Peter’s Basilica, in the Vatican, Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n

BORN-DIED [AGE]:<\/span> 1452-1519 [67]<\/span><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Leonardo da Vinci was a\u00a0painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. His genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man, a man of “unquenchable curiosity” and “feverishly inventive imagination”. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. The<\/span> Mona Lisa<\/span><\/a><\/span> which hangs in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France is one of the most famous paintings of all time. Another famous painting of Leonardo is the<\/span> Last Supper<\/span><\/a><\/span> painted on a convent wall in Milan, Italy.<\/span><\/span>

PHOTOSHOP COMMENTS: I had to redo this one. For some reason the image file I originally started with had the wrong aspect ratio. It was too narrow by a lot.

I always taught that maintaining the aspect ratio was very important.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

NATIONALITY:<\/span> French<\/span><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE ARTIST:\u00a0Georges Seurat\u00a0was a painter and draftsman noted for his innovative use of drawing media and for devising the technique of painting known as pointillism<\/span><\/a><\/span>.

NAME OF ARTIST:<\/span> Vincent van Gogh<\/span><\/p>\n

BORN-DIED [AGE]:<\/span> 1853-1890 [37]<\/span><\/p>\n

NATIONALITY:<\/span> Dutch<\/span><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Vincent van Gogh’s work is noted for its rough beauty, emotional honesty and bold color. Van Gogh has had a far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. After years of painful anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness, he died at age 37 from what was thought to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His work was then known to only a handful of people and appreciated by fewer still.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

INTERESTING FACT:<\/span>\u00a0The self-portrait linked to below shows Van Gogh with his ear bandaged.\u00a0In December 1888, frustrated and ill, Van Gogh confronted artist Paul Gauguin with a razor blade.\u00a0Van Gogh greatly admired Gauguin, and desperately wanted to be treated as his equal, but Gauguin was arrogant and domineering, a fact that often frustrated Van Gogh. Van Gogh left the confrontation in panic\u00a0and fled to a local brothel.\u00a0While there, he cut off parts of his left ear.\u00a0He wrapped the severed ear in newspaper and handed it to a prostitute, asking her to “keep this object carefully.” He staggered home, where he was later found by Gauguin lying unconscious with his head covered in blood.<\/span><\/p>\n

QUOTE:<\/span> “I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.”<\/span><\/p>\n

BORN-DIED [AGE]:<\/span> 1864-1901 [36]<\/span><\/p>\n

NATIONALITY:<\/span> French<\/span><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE ARTIST:<\/span> Toulouse-Lautrec\u00a0was a painter, printmaker, draughtsman and illustrator whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 1800s yielded a collection of exciting, elegant and provocative images of the modern and sometimes decadent life of those times. Toulouse-Lautrec, along with C\u00e9zanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin, is among the most well-known painters of the Post-Impressionist period.<\/span><\/p>\n

INTERESTING FACT:<\/span> The portrait of Lautrec linked to below shows him ready to paint himself. This “trick photo” was done by Maurice Guibert circa 1890. It would be a much easier to do it with Photoshop these days, but back then, it was an amazing photograph.<\/span><\/p>\n

NATIONALITY:<\/span> Norwegian<\/span><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE ARTIST:<\/span>\u00a0Edvard Munch was a painter and printmaker whose intensely evocative treatment of psychological themes built upon some of the main tenets of late 19th-century Symbolism and greatly influenced German Expressionism in the early 20th century.<\/span><\/p>\n

INTERESTING FACT:<\/span> In 2012, a\u00a0pastel version of “The Scream” sold for nearly $120 million ($119,922,500)\u00a0setting a new world record at that time for a work of art sold at auction.<\/span><\/p>\n

BORN-DIED [AGE]:<\/span> 1904-1989 [84]<\/span><\/p>\n

NATIONALITY:<\/span> Spanish<\/span><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE ARTIST:<\/span> Salvatore\u00a0Dal\u00ed was a skilled painter and draftsman\u00a0best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. Dal\u00ed’s expansive artistic repertoire included film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media.<\/span><\/p>\n

INTERESTING FACT:\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Dal\u00ed enjoyed indulging in unusual and grandiose behavior. His eccentric manner and attention-grabbing public actions sometimes drew more attention than his artwork, to the dismay of those who held his work in high esteem, and to the irritation of his critics.<\/span><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE ARTIST:<\/span> Andrew Wyeth\u00a0was a visual artist, primarily a realist painter and one of the best-known American artists of the middle 20th century.\u00a0In his art, Wyeth’s favorite subjects were the land and people around him, both in his hometown of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and at his summer home in Cushing, Maine. His painting, Christina’s World, is\u00a0one of the best-known images in 20th-century American art. It the 2013 movie Oblivion, starring Tom Cruise, Christina’s World represented a lone relic from the past in a post-apocalyptic\u00a0world.<\/span><\/p>\n

INTERESTING FACT:<\/span> The subject for Christina’s World was\u00a0Christina Olson who was known to have suffered from polio, a muscular deterioration that paralyzed her lower body. Wyeth was inspired to create the painting when he saw her crawling across a field on her family’s farm. While\u00a0Olson was the inspiration and subject of the painting, Wyeth’s wife Betsy posed for the torso part of the painting.<\/span><\/p>\n
