Art is something that makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness. Anni Albers

 

 

Albers was a designer who worked primarily in textiles and, late in life, with printmaking. She worked with multiple techniques, primarily lithography, embossing, silk-screening, and photo-offset.[26] She produced numerous designs in ink washes for her textiles, and occasionally experimented with jewelry design. Her woven works include many wall hangings, curtains and bedspreads, mounted "pictorial" images, and mass-produced yard material. Her weavings are often constructed of both traditional and industrial materials, not hesitating to combine jute, paper, horse hair, and cellophane.[27][28] Albers's early works, such as Drapery material (1923–6) and Design for Smyrna Rug (1925), display some of the characteristics that lasted throughout her career, notably her experimentation with colour, shape, scale and rhythm with abstract, crisscrossing geometric patterns.[29] Her work in printmaking was also experimental as she would "print lines multiple times, first positive then negative, [and print] off-register…She would explore the limits and possibilities of her tools."[26] To Albers, "there is no medium that cannot serve art.For a time Albers was a student of Paul Klee

 

 

 

wailing is an chinese vocal funeral custom

after dying the soul is resurrected

mourning is a thing you can't predict

we may not understand it immediately, but once we undedrsatnd the natural phenomenon of impemancce, then we can not fear

the soul wanders around 

 

 

 

18.01.2020 Frida Kahlo, was considered one of Mexico's greatest artists who began painting mostly self-portraits after she was severely injured in a bus accident. In 1922, Kahlo enrolled at the renowned National Preparatory School. She was one of the few female students to attend the school. She painted using vibrant colors in a style that was influenced by indigenous cultures of Mexico as well as by European influences that include Realism, Symbolism, and Surrealism. Many of her works are self-portraits that symbolically express her own pain and sexuality. She also wrote, “I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.” One of her most notable paintings include, 'Frieda and Diego Rivera' (1931), the work now lives at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Her "Blue" house in Coyoacan, Mexico City is a museum, donated by Diego (her husband) upon his death in 1957. #webringarttoyou #artyxwellbeing #arty #leydengallery #arty #leydengallery #artcollectors #contemporaryart #arttocollect #womanart #artbywoman #artforsale #buyart #ownart #artlover Christian Taylor Pattern. The drawing is part of the artists’ micro/macro series (of 2,0001 works), which she began in 1998, with one-by-one-inch crow quill and black ink, each one evoke cosmic imagery – swirling clouds, clusters of planets, wave patterns… Patten says that she is ‘fascinated by the interconnections that happened as the series progresses, exposing familiar form caused by what has come before. The images reiterate each other yet they are changing from one movement to another, ad infinitum, with each pen stroke responding to what has already happened in the drawing. At each point of convergence the direction of the image is arbitrary, unplanned, evolving amongst the infinite possibilities generated by the process.’ More works on display are linked in bio.

Born in Fere-en-Tardenois, northern France, on 8 December 1864, her works reside in the national Camille Claudel Museum in Nogent-sur-Seine, which opened in 2017, as well as in a room specially dedicated to her in the Musee Rodin in Paris. Her most famous work of art is a sculpture called 'The Waltz'. Claudel studied art at the Academie Colarossi in Paris, one of a handful of progressive art schools that accepted women students - in contrast with the prestigious but conservative Ecole des Beaux Arts. #webringarttoyou #artyxwellbeing #arty #leydengallery #arty #leydengallery #artcollectors #contemporaryart #arttocollect #womanart #artbywoman #artforsale #buyart #ownart #artlover £11.37 Mental wellbeing Fact: Cambridgeshire’s success has been mirrored across the UK and the findings are supported by the conclusions of a report by an all-party parliamentary group (APPG) The report, published in July, which followed a two–year inquiry, found that “The arts can help keep us well, aid recovery and support longer lives, better lived.” - a report by an all-party parliamentary group (APPG) Dove of Peace, 1949 by Pablo Picasso Fact: “The arts can help keep us well, aid recovery and support longer lives, better lived.” - a report by an all-party parliamentary group (APPG) By 1930 she had shortened her name to Dora Maar and begun her career as a professional photographer. “She was part of something really new in advertising and fashion photography,” says the Pompidou’s curator Damarice Amao. Dora Maar, portrayed herself reflected in a mirror, the oval of her face echoed by an electric fan. Currently showing @Tate, which brings out the question of “how do we tell the story of a woman artist while being sensitive to the fact that Maar herself was of a generation who didn’t want to be known as ‘women artists’?”. She was one of the most important Surrealist photographers, a famed 20th-century French artist and primarily known as the muse of ‘Weeping Woman’, a painting by Picasso, 1937. Maar explored what André Breton (leader of Surrealism) referred to as the “bewildering strangeness” of the familiar, her approach to fashion and cosmetics advertisements, heavy in their use of mirrors and contrasting shadows, emulating the peculiar narratives in her personal work. #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #artisttocollect #buyart #artcollector #artwork #artforsale #artworkoftheday #womanartist #surrealism #collage #photography #fashion #mirror #femaleportrait Kuniko Maeda’s interest in sustainability and the material lifecycle resulted in her use of recycled paper, which then became the leading concern of her studio practice. By exploring the relationship between Japanese philosophy and craft techniques she found her clue in how to re-evaluate the use of materials and explore the underestimated beauty of everyday materials and waste. Anna Louise Cox’s practice consists in collecting organic material from her local environment and working with them, along with other materials such as thread and recycled paper. Her aim is to create a unique work of art not far removed from their original condition. Through the art of making, the artist is able to question the paradoxical nature of the human relationship with the rest of the natural environment. 1 – 11 February 2017 Private View 31 January 18.30 – 21.00 Platform for Emerging Arts #13 is a mixed media exhibition that promises a dynamic display from six talented emerging artists in one of East London's most vibrant art spaces. Artwork by @Anna Louise Cox, Artwork by @kunicom0341 ‘Therian and Heorot’ @lornapridmore. Part of a series of collective exhibition Platform For Emerging Arts #23, August, 2019, @leyden_gallery. Lorna Pridmore’s work involves transformation of found objects and materials into new forms. She’s interested in raising a question about that which is seem to be without merit - using simple physical actions to develop a haptic relationship with an object that en masse evolves into a 'thing in itself' through repetitive processes of construction and deconstruction. The works are often made from inconsequential 'stuff' such as drawing pins, nails, cling film, hair grips or synthetic materials. Through everyday actions such as wrapping, clipping, binding, pulling, pinning; an idly conceived thing is transfigured into another entirely and makes us question our intuitive logic and perceptions.

Though she might be best remembered as a romantic partner and muse of Pablo Picasso, she was an accomplished artist who has been the subject of renewed interest thanks to several posthumous exhibitions. Working across media, Maar created many poetic photographs, Surrealist collages, and painterly depictions of landscapes in Provence. Inspired by Brassaï and Man Ray in particular, her striking black-and-white images capture the portraits of many artists and intellectuals of the era, including her lover. In one of Maar’s most famous series, she documented Picasso painting Guernica in its many stages. Their nine-year relationship ending badly in 1943, with Picasso abusing Maar both physically and emotionally. She was left distraught and in the care of controversial psychiatrist Jacques Lacan, who treated her illegally with electroshock therapy. Maar then went on to abandon photography and paint largely in private, creating works that were both profoundly personal and emotionally evocative, and it was only after her death that these were ever exhibited. Born Henriette Theodora Markovic on November 22, 1907 in Tours, France, Maar studied at the Académie Julian in Paris. Her work has been exhibited by Paris Galerie, the National Museum Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Palazzo Fortuny, and in 2019, the Centre Pompidou. The artist died on July 16, 1997 in Paris, France.
