Come trasformare la passione in professione | Art Blogger Fai da te

La piattaforma Blogger è, a mio parere, adatta ad un sito d'internet dedicato all'Arte.

Sono oramai 10 anni che lavoro con questa piattaforma.

Questo blog l'ho costruito da me, imparando giorno dopo giorno e credetemi, amandolo giorno dopo giorno.

Alla fine mi sono creata un luogo mio, dove riverso i miei gusti, la bellezza che mi incanta, la poesia che mi porta lontano, verso l'orizzonte, la musica che mi accarezza l'anima.

George Tooker | Embrace

George Clair Tooker, Jr. (1920-2011) was in a relationship with the artist Paul Cadmus from 1944-1949 and was a part of the PaJaMa artists collective during that time.

He is featured, often nude, in many of their images from that period.

In the mid-1950's Tooker met his long time partner, painter William R. Christopher, and they lived together in New York City.

They moved into a house they had built in Hartland, Vermont in 1960.

The couple were involved in the Civil Rights Movement and participated in one of the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965.

Galina Chuvilyaeva, 1957 | Angels

Galina Chuvilyaeva / Галина Чувиляева is a famous St. Petersburg artist, jeweler, member of the Union of Designers and the Union of Artists of Russia, a participant in numerous exhibitions.

Galina Chuvilyaeva was born in 1957 on the Volga. Childhood and youth passed in Ukraine, where his father served.

The beauty of the Carpathians, mountains, rivers and gardens blooming twice a year - all this has left an indelible mark on the artist's soul.

"Childhood is difficult now", says Galina Chuvilyaeva, "a lot of problems, not much positive. It feels the lack of the kindness and the warmth that were in my childhood.

Therefore, I want to share this warmth. My paintings bring joy, so I can not stop: I work and work. Through myself I transfer my sunny childhood. We lived in that life in an illusion, in anticipation of change for the better, we were dreamers".

“I am happy that in this way I can bring good to this imperfect, but beautiful world” she said.

Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller | Genre / Romantic painter

Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (Vienna, 1793 – Hinterbrühl, 1865) è stato un pittore e scrittore Austriaco.

Considerato con Friedrich von Amerling il più grande ritrattista austriaco del XIX secolo.

Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller frequentò brevemente l'Accademia di belle arti di Vienna ma, per vivere, iniziò a realizzare ritratti.

Nel 1811 si recò in Croazia per svolgere la professione di insegnante d'arte. Tornato a Vienna tre anni dopo, iniziò a migliorare le proprie abilità ricopiando i capolavori dei più grandi maestri.

Waldmüller indirizzò quindi il suo interesse alla natura e iniziò a dipingere paesaggi, di cui divenne maestro.
