Original Artwork Painting, Oil on Canvas

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.

peinture synchronistique, qui entremêle trois réminiscences picturales :

- La nostalgie de l’infini, de Giorgio de Chirico, 1912, New York, MoMA
- Cathédrale, d’Albert Gleizes, 1912, Hanovre, Sprengel Museum
- L’enlèvement des Sabines, d’un inconnu du XVIIe s. romain, collection privée

Tous les mythes ont affaire avec la synchronicité. On pourrait même dire que c’est elle qui caractérise tout grand récit mythologique. En effet, comme Freud l’a montré pour l’histoire d’Œdipe, la polysémie du mythe fait qu’il est capable d'enjamber le temps, et de cristalliser à chaque époque une signification particulière liée aux problématiques et à l’imaginaire collectif du moment.

L’enlèvement des Sabines est lié à la fondation de Rome par Romulus, mais il nous parle aussi de mythes plus anciens se référant au culte de la Grande Déesse et aux rituels de mariage indo-européens (voir mon article: L'Enlèvement des Sabines, ambivalence et double jeu, sur le blog "débat art-figuration"

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
