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.

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…..

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.

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

any help would be much appreciated.

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