Fernand Khnopff: 1858-1921 Belgian Fernand Khnopff Gallery Fernand Khnopff was born to a wealthy family that was part of the high bourgeoisie for generations.

Most male members of his family had been lawyers or judges, and young Fernand was destined for a juridical career. In his early childhood (1859-1864) he lived in Bruges where his father was appointed Substitut Du Procureur Du Roi. Still Life. The 10 best contemporary still lifes | Culture | The Observer. GUP - Guide to Unique Photography. Spanish photographer Chema Madoz (b. 1958, Madrid) has developed his unique photographic style since the 1980s.

He studied Art History and Photography simultaneously and held his first solo show in 1985, also in Madrid. His images deconstruct and reinterpret everyday objects in order to create a different world. His series presents objects manipulated in such a way that they become something entirely different. When asked what his interest is in the ‘other life of objects’, Madoz explained that, when he was young, he “suddenly understood the possibility that some things can change in use and appearance very quickly”.

This notion guides his work in which he uses random objects, such as a shoe or a glass, and manipulates the image so that the viewer is forced to step away from expectations about the tool’s function. Paul Landl, Fotograf. Symbolist Photography Manifesto The repertoire of forms and shapes of a symbolist photographer encompasses the depiction of theatrical and monumental elements, aestheticism and originality. Opulence is contrasted with simplicity. The surprise about the connection between seemingly incompatible objects forms the basis of an extraordinarily good photograph.

The photographic presentation of unconscious worlds, whose enticement is based on irritation and amazement, is the ‘breeding ground’ for the symbolist photographer. The inner state of the soul is always the beginning and the end of a work which is not marked by superficiality. The world of thoughts of a symbolist photographer in aphorisms The combination of the hundredths of a second of taking a photo and the time consuming subsequent editing is one closed system.

The artistic process is purer and more exciting than the expected result The art is to try to suit yourself and others. My heart is unable to translate it. Paul Landl. Projects | The Wade Brothers.

Biography[edit] Moreau was born in Paris. His father, Louis Jean Marie Moreau, was an architect, who recognized his talent. His mother was Adele Pauline des Moutiers. Moreau initially studied under the guidance of François-Édouard Picot and became a friend of Théodore Chassériau, whose work strongly influenced his own.

Moreau had a 25-year personal relationship, possibly romantic, with Adelaide-Alexandrine Dureux, a woman whom he drew several times.[1] His first painting was a Pietà which is now located in the cathedral at Angoulême. He showed A Scene from the Song of Songs and The Death of Darius in the Salon of 1853. In 1853 he contributed Athenians with the Minotaur and Moses Putting Off his Sandals within Sight of the Promised Land to the Great Exhibition. Moreau became a professor at Paris' École des Beaux-Arts in 1891 and among his many students were the fauvist painters, Henri Matisse and Georges Rouault. Moreau died in Paris and was buried there in the Cimetière de Montmartre. Asger Carlsen's Mind Bending Photographs. Canal : Asger Carlsen. Asger Carlsen. Main : Asger Carlsen.
