What movement(s) would the following Frida Kahlo paintings be from?
Self Portrait as a Tehuana
(Autorretrato como Tehuana)
Self Portrait on the Border Between Mexico and the United States
(Autorretrato en la frontera entre México y los Estados Unidos)
Thanks in advance!
Frida’s works are difficult to classify into movements as she herself didn’t want to be identified with a movement. However, there is a lot of Symbolism, Primitivism, folk art and Surrealist influences in her paintings.
I’m 17 years old and am in Art3 and have taken and independent art class for my Junior year plus art 3. I have already sold a painting (watercolor) and need to know how much I should ask for a painting with me being so young and inexperienced. It’s a self portrait, oil paint, about 14 in. by 12 in.
since your so young, and it is a self painting. I think $40-$60
As in scenery, a portrait of someone, animals, seascape, etc?
And what type of paintings do people tend to spend more money on???
unless you are an art collector most middle of the road art is portraiture or landscape but with a mood or atmosphere, abstract is also popular for the more progressive types who want to impress their friends at dinner parties, mainly the work has to be simple and easy to look at, the interlectually challenging works are the preserve of gallery collections

hi
i was just wondering if there is someone from Ireland (possibly galway) that is really good at painting portraits on a canvas. it is for a gift. the painting will be of three children.
I am not from Ireland but I am a portrait artist who would consider painting for you. I would just like the fact that I would have my paintings hanging in Ireland and my commission fees would be more than reasonable…
Here are some of my paintings

I am trying to view a gallory of the official portraits of each of the Presidents of the United States. I want a gallery of the actual paintings hanging on the White House walls. Is this possible? Can someone recommend a site?

Down there, at the bottom it says "F: 207, JH: 979". What exactly does it mean?
These are bibliographical references specifically in the context of van Gogh. F refers to Jacob Baart de la Faille’s catalogue raisonne of van Gogh and JH to Jan Hulsker’s updating of the work.
please help as soon as possible thanx
different subject matter. If you are looking for a full answer, email me and I will send you one over!
can anyone give me names of some really good photographically realistic portraits, preferably paintings.
Look at the work of Chuck Close and at "photorealism" in general
Im going to create a portrait and i want it to have a style similar to van vogh. He applies many layers so is it oil or regular paint?
Yes, van Gogh painted in oils for his most famous paintings. (He also did watercolors.) I’ve been lucky enough to see some his work in person. For his later work prints don’t do them justice. The paint is applied so thickly the painting is really 3-D, not a flat, smooth 2-D. I could see the thick brushstrokes. Made me want to trade in my flat prints for reproductions.
Here. Go to this site. It’s van Gogh’s "Mulberry Tree." Click on the image and you will get a "zoomable" image. Then zoom in as much as possible. It will give you some sense of what I’m talking about when it comes to van Gogh’s brushstrokes. Except it’s still flat. When I saw it in person, the paint was sticking out of the canvas. It was so far out, I wonder how much dust it would collect and how they dust it.
