Beautiful and Graceful Women Paintings Art Gallery

Metlan was so entranced by the flamenco performances he saw that he developed a new painting style in order to properly convey the dramatic and expressive movements of the dancers. He traded his paintbrush for a palette knife, using large strokes to create patches of textured paint that form traditional flamenco outfits on his canvases. He portrays elegantly-dressed women wielding violins, saxophones, and other instruments.

As such, Metlan expresses the nostalgia of his childhood and love for his mother through the portrayal of musical women. The artist enjoys listening to music while working, most notably that of Russian musicians from the romantic period. To collect the artwork of Anatoly Metlan, contact our gallery consultants at ext. I bought one of his violinist paintings this year. Very different from the other art I saw.

Courtesy of the artist and Mary Mary, Glasgow. Jun 10, 1: The current landscape of contemporary figurative painting is particularly strong, not only due to the commercial market for it , but perhaps more so the way that artists are portraying people in response to salient topics and issues of the 21st century—from race, gender, and war, to privacy, social media, and love.

A mere fraction of those working today, these women build upon the masterful work of figurative forebears, including powerhouse females from Leonora Carrington.

The artists below, in early or mid-career stages in their practices, span Los Angeles to Baltimore, Johannesburg to Zurich, with a strong contingent in New York where figuration is especially palpable. Each are creating inspiring figurative paintings that speak to the present, and offer glimpses into the future. Jordan Casteel, Miles and Jojo , Image courtesy of the artist. Casteel, who describes herself as hyper-aware of her surroundings, creates vivid large-scale paintings that picture black males from the communities where she has lived.

Her paintings—which are now featured in a group show at HOME in Manchester, England and can be seen this summer in New York at the Studio Museum in Harlem and James Cohan Gallery —are sincere portrayals of men and boys, often in pairs or trios on living-room couches or floors, that capture family and friendship through a crisp, realist style, and vibrant colors.

The street has literally entered the museum through my paintings. Working across painting, sculpture, embroidery, and tapestry, Khatibi envisions scenes that emphasize primal impulses and power struggles among human beings.

Recent paintings follow a group of white nude females in exotic landscapes, where they commingle with wild animals—riding alligators, hunting rabbits, draping snakes and octopi over their shoulders. Newly represented by Tif Sigfrids in L.

Her works featured in a smart two-person show with Gina Beavers. The classical past obsessed the Renaissance, but it was always in tension with the forceful emotions of 15th- and 16th-century Italians: He loved and understood ancient Roman art and architecture more thoroughly than any other Renaissance artist. He assimilated it naturally and deeply. Classical art imposes order on chaos. Greco-Roman temples have perfect proportions and harmonious design that reveal a simple, calm grace beyond the mess of everyday life.

Raphael saw this from a very young age. In , when he was 21, he painted a visionary manifesto for classical harmony. The Marriage of the Virgin, today in the Brera art gallery in Milan, depicts Joseph being betrothed to Mary in front of the temple in Jerusalem. What takes your breath away is the temple: Raphael's imaginary architecture is utopian. It is a dream of a perfect place, peaceful and graceful on its piazza. It is not pure fantasy. Raphael discussed such buildings with his friend, the architect Bramante, who probably told him about similar-looking buildings that were designed but never built by his friend Leonardo da Vinci.

In , Bramante got a commission from Isabella and Ferdinand, monarchs of Spain, to build a monumental structure on the spot on the Janiculum Hill in Rome where St Peter was said to have been crucified. He built the Tempietto, a circular domed temple. It powerfully resembles Raphael's painted architecture.

This is classicism at its most idealistic. For Raphael and Bramante, the ancient world was a dream-like utopia that could actually be rebuilt. Pope Leo X later appointed Raphael overseer of antiquities for the city of Rome. He succeeded Bramante as architect of the new St Peter's, and wrote to his friend Baldessare Castiglione that he wanted to "renew the beautiful forms of ancient buildings". Raphael does this not just in his architecture - little of which was ever completed - but in his paintings.

When he studied Da Vinci's paintings in Florence in the s, he took from them an idea of classical harmony: The reason Raphael's star has waned is simple enough. The cult of classical antiquity no longer dominates western culture; we don't find perfection as seductive as we once did. This is truer of tastes in art than in, say, classical music.

Bach and Mozart resemble Raphael in order and perfection. So why is it so difficult to love Raphael? I don't mean respect - I mean love. In the s, Catherine the Great, empress of Russia, demonstrated an almost insane adoration for Raphael. She ordered her artists to re-create, in exact and meticulous detail, the loggias decorated by Raphael and his assistants in the Vatican palace.

These are the most perfect examples of Renaissance "grotesques", imitations of the frescos found in Nero's palace in Rome. Raphael's loggia designs in the Vatican are not on public view. But you can walk down the perfect reproduction in the Hermitage in St Petersburg.
