Mikhail Vrubel: paintings. E-book. Formato EPUB Richard Donaldson - Richard Donaldson, 2015 -
Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel is as a rule observed among the Russian artists of the Symbolist movement. Indeed, he obviously stood isolated from modern art tendencies; therefore the source of his atypical way should be finding in Byzantine and Early Renaissance art. Even in his first works, he demonstrated great talent for drawing and an idiosyncratic style. He would later develop a affinity for fragmentary composition and an "unfinished touch". In the words of an one art historian, "his palette acquired new strong saturated tones resembling the iridescent play of precious stones". In his mature period Vrubel developed a keen interest in Oriental arts, and particularly Persian carpets, and even attempted to imitate their texture in his paintings. Like other artists associated with the Art Nouveau style, he excelled not only in painting but also in applied arts, such as ceramics, majolica, and stained glass. He also produced architectural masks, stage sets, and costumes.
Edward Burne-Jones: Paintings. E-book. Formato EPUB Richard Donaldson - Richard Donaldson, 2015 -
Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones was a British painter and designer closely associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, the greatest of the second generation Pre-Raphaelites. He was also strongly involved in the rebirth of the practice of stained glass art in Britain. His early paintings demonstrate the deep inspiration of Dante Rossetti, but after the 1860s Burne-Jones was determining his own artistic style. The timing was exact, and he was taken up as a messenger and star of the new Art Movement. Burne-Jones's aspire in visual art is most excellent given in some of his own words: "I mean by a picture a beautiful, romantic dream of something that never was, never will be - in a light better than any light that ever shone - in a land no one can define or remember, only desire - and the forms divinely beautiful." In addition to painting and stained glass, Burne-Jones worked in a variety of crafts; including designing ceramic tiles, jewelry, tapestries, mosaics and book illustration.
