The 3 Most Renowned Artists

Category : Uncategorized

Our art history has been really colorful. We have had artists that are so talented and have shared to the whole world their extraordinary masterpieces that have stimulated and inspired, not only just their period but up until now. Here are my 3 very best artists and their short biography.

Leonardo Da Vinci, Renaissance

It is without discussion that the number 1 spot goes to the great Leonardo Da Vinci. Usually called him as the father of Renaissance, or a master of perspective, the influence of Leonardo Da Vinci these days extends far beyond the realm of creative endeavor.

Some of his famous artworks are Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and The Baptism of Christ.

Vincent Van Gogh, Impressionist

The paintings of Vincent Van Gogh could be the most effortlessly acknowledged and remembered of everyone. He normally paints every day objects, such as sunflowers and an empty chair, but he has a way of conveying his intense feelings.

Van Gogh was born the son of a pastor and spent his childhood in a cultured and spiritual environment. He first worked in a bookstore and selling artwork before becoming a preacher just like his father. In 1880, he turned to the study of artwork with the dedication to be a well-known artist someday.

Van Gogh endured significant bouts of melancholy and there was even a time that he attempted to attack his closest buddy and peer, Gauguin, with a razor. The assault was fortunately unsuccessfully but Van Gogh ended up cutting off a part of his own ear. Van Gogh’s depression intensified and he was accepted to an asylum.

In 1890, 2 months after his release from the asylum Vincent Van Gogh killed himself. Some of his renowned paintings are Starry Night, Sunflowers, Cafe Terrace and so much more.

Salvador Dali, Surrealism

The paintings of Salvador Dali depict bizarre characters like burning giraffes and seemingly melted wax watches. The artist described his own works as ‘hand-painted dream photographs’. Dali is well acknowledged for his numerous abilities apart from jewellery layout, book illustration, painting as well as theatre work.

Dali’s most famous work is the Persistence of Memory, painted in oil on canvas in 1931. As with his other surrealist works, there is a typical image that is in some way irrational, such as the watches that appear soft and fluid in this painting. Dali mentioned that the thought for this painting came while he was pondering about Camembert cheese one night after dinner – such a great way to be inspired with an artwork.

There are so much more equally popular and gifted than the above 3 artists, but this is just my view. And we won’t be able to deny that the budding new artist in our era are also not far behind in terms of expertise and imagination.

If you are interested in acquiring copies of their paintings, there are already many websites online sells famous oil painting reproductions. You can easily buy oil paintings online – even those made by these famous artists.

See their website to buy oil paintings online and have the pleasure of getting the masterpiece you want… and give character to your every room!

Coach K’s reputation as a teacher of young men has transcended his extraordinary success as a coach. The Duke team is always ranked at the top of the college game, year in and year out, but what’s truly remarkable about Coach K are his players and the legacy they leave behind: Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Elton Brand, Bobby Hurley, and on and on — these are not just great basketball players, but individuals who have become true leaders in American society, all thanks in large part to Coach K’s leadership.

So how does Coach K do it? In this new book, he reveals his tips, advice, and time-tested guidance on how he coaches and educates his players about life beyond the basketball court.

FILE - In this May 19, 2009 file photo, director Spike Lee, left, and Denzel Washington talk during the first half of Game 1 of the NBA basketball Western Conference finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets in Los Angeles. Lee directed Washington in the 1998 basketball film, 'He Got Game.' (AP Photo/Mark Avery, file)AP – There are a lot of basketball movies in the world, and most of them are pretty terrible. They’re corny or too feel-good, they feature awkward celebrity cameos or they try to wedge in an uncomfortable romance. But some of them get the sport — and the people who play it — just right.

The Basketball Diaries

The Basketball Diaries

  • DICAPRIO/WAHLBERG/MCGAW/MADIO

Film adaptation of street tough Jim Carroll’s epistle about his kaleidoscopic free fall into the harrowing world of drug addiction. As a member of a seemingly unbeatable high school basketball squad, Jim’s life centers around the basketball court and the court becomes a metaphor for the world in his mind. A best friend who is dying of leukemia, a coach (“Swifty”) who takes unacceptable liberties with the boys on his team, teenage sexual angst, and an unhealthy appetite for heroin — all of these begin to encroach on young Jim’s dream of becoming a basketball star. Soon, the dark streets of New York become a refuge from his mother’s mounting concern for her son. He can’t go home and his only escape from the reality of the streets is heroin for which he steals, robs and prostitutes himself. Only with the help of Reggie, an older neighborhood friend with whom Jim “picked up a game” now and then, is he able to begin the long journey back to sanity.The pre-Titanic Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Jim Carroll, the poet and musician who spent much of his adolescence addicted to heroin and shooting hoops with fellow Catholic high school kids. As a biography, the film doesn’t amount to more than the sum of its gritty scenes of smack use, violence, perversions (poor Bruno Kirby plays a lecherous coach who comes on to young Jim), and the usual scream-and-puke dramas that go along with a cold-turkey session. Director Scott Kalvert doesn’t seem to realize that most people don’t know who Carroll is and therefore can’t possibly understand why they should care about his gutterball youth. DiCaprio, having nowhere to go with his performance but maintain Carroll’s tailspin, is boring and redundant. Some kind of allusion to the literary and rock & roll life that follows the mess we’re watching might have been helpful. –Tom Keogh
