Batoni: The Artist of the Sacred Heart
2008-05-26 14:01:00 Chapel of the Sacred Heart, Church of the Gesu, Rome with the Oil on copper painting of the Sacred Heart painting of the Sacred Heart (1767) by Battoni and Domenico Maria Saverio Calvi Just finished at The National Gallery in London (18th May 2008) is an exhibition of the paintings of Pompeo Batoni (1708-1787), "Italy`s Last Old Master". See here.In his day Pompeo Batoni was the most celebrated painter in Rome and one of the most famous in Europe.But only two years after his death in 1787, Sir Joshua Reynolds predicted that Batoni's name would quickly fall into oblivion - and he was absolutely right.Throughout the 19th and for most of the 20th centuries few artists were more completely forgotten - or, if remembered, more thoroughly despised.Amongst his many achievements was to provide a series of paintings that could be used as a model for religious art.His representations of the Sacred Heart of Jesus were perhaps essential in the popularisation and spread of the devotion.One of th...

ArtSunday: The artist who made his ego wait outside his studio door
2008-04-27 06:01:00 Most art students learn to appreciate art by studying its history. Thus they’re usually exposed to the figurative art of past centuries before they are to twentieth-century art, with its effusion of styles. But some have a natural inclination for the avant garde. For example, jazz, with the homage it paid to old standards and show tunes, seemed too, well, straight, for this author when he was young. His gateway to its wonders, current and past, was John Coltrane. Likewise, his portal into art was abstract expressionism, especially personal favorites Willem De Kooning and Franz Kline. In other words, if he falls for a figurative painter, that artist has got to be world class. Which is exactly the direction in which 27-year-old Michael De Brito is headed. When a friend referred us to his website, it was instantly apparent that realism, already revitalized in recent years, had gotten another bracing infusion in De Brito’s work. The copy on his site reveals his influences: &...

2008-01-19 18:09:00 Wikipedia states that "Theological aesthetics is the interdisciplinary study of theology and aesthetics, and has been defined as being "concerned with questions about God and issues in theology in the light of and perceived through sense knowledge (sensation, feeling, imagination), through beauty, and the arts".This field of study is broad and includes not only a theology of beauty, but also the dialogue between theology and the arts, such as dance, drama, film, literature, music, poetry, and the visual arts.Notable theologians and philosophers that have dealt with this subject include Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, Jonathan Edwards, Søren Kierkegaard, Karl Barth, and Hans Urs von Balthasar, among others."Rowan Williams, The Archbishop of Canterbury, was born in Swansea, south Wales was Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity and Canon of Christ Church, Oxford before becoming a Bishop.He is acknowledged internationally as an outstanding theological writer, scholar an...

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Artist
2007-12-14 16:59:00 Have you ever read The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron? Well, don't let the title fool you. The book is not just for artists. It's intended for anyone interested in going on a spiritual journey to free their inner creativity. Personally, I never had such a desire. If I want to go on a journey, I'd much rather go to London or Disney World. Nevertheless, I can't tell you how many people over the

Writing the Artist Bio, Take One & A Half 8-)
2007-09-08 21:30:00 So, I was looking at other bio examples, which is what it appears most people do to get ideas, & I noticed that bios vary widely. Some focus on "just the facts, ma'am" & are very cold & impersonal (date & city of birth, a chronology of major accomplishments, etc.), & therefore can make for some rather dry reading(!), and then others are very intimate & not only discuss the person's work, but their thoughts & entire life's history.My bio will probably fall somewhere in between.For writing in general, I think it often helps to have a framework from which to work. With these "official" pieces of writing, I particularly like to follow some kind of structure, as they seem to mandate it. I mean it's not exactly the place to be free-styling; people seem to expect that it will be a serious examination of the artist & their work.Ho hum. Right now, that's going to be particularly hard for me, as I can't seem to stop wanting to turn everything I write about into a laugh...
Writing the Artist Bio, Take One
2007-09-08 21:13:00 I'm sitting here trying to write my artist bio, so atleast I've moved from the phase of procrastination to the actual writing process. ;-)I am normally not a procrastinator, as you aren't allowed that luxury when you run your own business, atleast not if you want to run a successful business! ;-)But this is a beast of a different nature. Yes, sure it's promotional writing in its own way, which I'm actually good at doing, but as I mentioned earlier, I'd rather write about the jewelry, & not me. I realize the usual tired concept of the "artist as product," but frankly I'm a human being first & it nonetheless still offends my sensibilities to be categorized like this. Yes, I am a businesswoman, but I'm also an artist, & so not surprisingly, still have an untamed independent spirit, thank you very much!As you can see, I think I'd much rather blog about writing my bio than actually writing it, but atleast we're getting the juices flowing.

I am a mess when it comes to balancing life with work with art with romance. I have a wonderful partner with whom I enjoy sharing my life and my art business. He is my strength and my back bone and is great at keeping me focused on the next thing on the list. My partner is great at creating brochures and marketing materials. (You have no idea how many other artist have asked to borrow him! Thank goodness I have first dibs!) He is the practical one. He is more conscious of the business world and of politics. He reminds me often that I can be brash and outspoken, and at times step on people's toes and perhaps cut off my nose to spite my face. We rarely disagree on what needs to be done, but we often disagree on how to do it. When it comes to publicity and marketing, press coverage is important. So is having the materials at hand to sell yourself and make it...
"Talent", Fatalism, and the Artist's Fears
2007-08-18 16:28:00 One of my favorite "books for writers" is Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland. Whether you need to sustain your faith in a long-term project or gather the courage to leap into a new one, this little book is an invaluable aid to identifying and overcoming the fear-based myths that prevent you from doing your work. One of those is "talent": Talent, in common parlance, is "what comes easily". So sooner or later, inevitably, you reach a point where the work doesn't come easily, and -- Aha!, it's just as you feared!Wrong. By definition, whatever you have is exactly what you need to produce your best work. There is probably no clearer waste of psychic energy than worrying about how much talent you have -- and probably no worry more common. This is true even among artists of considerable accomplishment.Talent, if it is anything, is a gift, and nothing of the artist's own making....Were talent a prerequisite, then the better the artwork, the easier it would have been to make.

The artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince...
2007-07-18 18:21:00 ...or Prince for short. Last Sunday I was left with a moral dilemma the likes of which has not been seen Pascal's wager. Imagine the scene. Me in Pooja News. A sweaty £1.40 in my hand, shivering at the prospect of buying the Mail on Sunday so I could get my other sweaty hand onto Prince's new CD given away for free. I am the proud owner of no less than eight Prince CDs - even some of the rubbish ones. AND I am also the type that stalks the stands of any major technology show with a binbag and snow shovel in tow to scoop up freebies. ...and yet it was one step too far for me so I skulked away empty-handed. (well, except for a few sweaty coins and a carton of Ribena.) But I suppose that's not the point. Is there a newspaper in our land that didn't cover the story? Is there anyone left who doesn't know Prince is doing 21 dates this Summer? Have you thought recently that you wouldn...

A Portrait of the Artist
2007-06-30 11:32:00 CARRACCI, Annibale (b. 1560, Bologna, d. 1609, Roma)Self-Portrait c. 1604Oil on wood, 42 x 30 cmThe Hermitage, St. Petersburg Carracci made this self portrait aged about 44, five years before his death at the young age of 49.He was one of the prominent members of the Carracci family who were important figures at the end of the 16th century in the movement against the prevailing Mannerist artificiality of Italian painting.He, with other members of his family, followed the Tridentine strictures on art.They are now labelled Baroque although Annibale`s style is more eclectic and cannot be categorised so easily as under a single label.Annibale was by far the greatest artist of the family. He was called to Rome by Cardinal Odoardo Farnese to carry out his masterpiece: the decoration of the Farnese Gallery in the cardinal's family palace and in particular the ceilings of the Farnese Gallery.Until the 19th century, the Farnese Ceiling was ranked alongside the Sistine Ceiling and Raphael's...

Although you love not the Creator, you shall bear witness to Him creating His likeness.III.You shall create beauty not to excite the senses but to give sustenance to the soul.IV. You shall never use beauty as a pretext for luxury and vanity but as a spiritual devotion.V. You shall not seek beauty at carnival or fair or offer your work there, for beauty is virginal and is not to be found at carnival or fair.VI. Beauty shall rise from your heart in song, and you shall be the first to be purified.VII.The beauty you create shall be known as compassion and shall console the hearts of men.VIII.You shall bring forth your work as a mother brings forth her child: out of the blood of your heart.IX. Beauty shall not be an opiate that puts you to sleep but a strong wine that fires you to action, for if you fail to be a true man or a true woman, you will fail to be an artist.X.

They are the following: The Mini-Record Deal, Joint Venture, and Work-For-Hire. But, before this idea is even entertained the artist MUST NOT be signed to a distributing label. But this is a VERY IMPORTANT issue among artists that are going the independent route. As you will understand later. (more…)
