Annigoni: Portrait of an Artist

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2010 and filed under portrait artist | 6 Comments »

This award-winning critically acclaimed motion picture is based on the life and times of the last century’s most famous portrait painter, Italian master Pietro Annigoni. From his artistic birth in Florence, to the height of his fame and fortune Annigoni pursued his own path, standing alone against the forces of modernism. Annigoni was a bohemian, a drinker, a fighter and a womanizer, yet the world’s most powerful and celebrated people sought him out for portraits. Pietro Annigoni was once called the painter of beautiful women but chose instead to be the painter of beggars.

Who is your favorite portrait artist?

Posted by admin on February 21st, 2010 and filed under portrait artist | 3 Comments »

1) Who is your favorite portrait artist?
2) do you know any artist who paints portraits which look quite life-like (moderately) but not impressionist or super modern.

Robert Henri was probably the best ever and he was a heck of a teacher , too. Here’s a sample of his portraiture….

Then there is Chuck Close for super realism. Here’s one of his….

Then there’s Milton Avery (my personal favourite) but his isn’t the kind of work you’re looking for. Still, here’s a sample…..

Best portrait tattoo artist in Connecticut?

Posted by admin on February 19th, 2010 and filed under portrait artist | 3 Comments »

I want to get 2 portraits, one of my grandfather and one of my dad. I am a big fan of portrait tattoos but have seen many absolutely terrible ones. I just want to know if anyone knows of any VERY skilled portrait tattoo artists in or around Connecticut. Also, I would like to know if they specialize in color or black and white. Thanks. :D

I love Joe C’s work but he will want to do work in his own style. I would take the time and make the trip to NY and see Anil Gupta. His portrait work is amazing as well as his miniature. http://www.anilgupta.com/portfolio/portfolio.htm

Im just wondering if anyone knows of a good portrait tattoo artist in the sydney area. ?

Just call all the tattoo places and ask if they have a portrait artist. Then go look at samples of their work.

Who is Mabel Hunter in Portrait of the Artist?

In Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce?

She is a girl whose picture appeared in the newspaper.

"He was sitting on the backless chair in his aunt’s kitchen. A lamp with a reflector hung on the japanned wall of the fireplace and by its light his aunt was reading the evening paper that lay on her knees. She looked a long time at a smiling picture that was set in it and said musingly:

– The beautiful Mabel Hunter!

A ringletted girl stood on tiptoe to peer at the picture and said softly:

– What is she in, mud?

– In a pantomime, love.

The child leaned her ringletted head against her mother’s sleeve, gazing on the picture, and murmured as if fascinated:

– The beautiful Mabel Hunter!

As if fascinated, her eyes rested long upon those demurely taunting eyes and she murmured devotedly:

– Isn’t she an exquisite creature?"

Does anyone know of an amazing animal portrait tattoo artist?
