The Visual Art and Design of Famous Writers, Part 2

But as I continued to dig into this subject, I realized that I had shown just the tip of the iceberg. Here, then, are an additional 22 writers who also spent time creating art. Hermann Hesse self-portrait, 1917 Above and below: Hesse illustrations for "The Metamorphosis of Piktor" The German novelist and poet Hermann Hesse (1877–1962) was also quite an accomplished artist. Above and below: untitled paintings by D. Equally as proficient was D. Charlotte Brontë, "Ashburnham Church," 1845 A Brontë drawing from 1829 As children, the novelist and poet Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855) and her sister Emily kept each other and their two sisters amused with drawings of classic ruins, biblical scenes, and landscapes. Above and below: "Scissor Fantasies" by Hans Christian Andersen It is of little surprise that the children’s author Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) created art.

A view of Cincinnati by Washington Irving, 1832 G. Fine Art Presentations: The e.Gallery. Kasimir Malevich (1878–1935). Russian painter and designer, with Mondrian the most important pioneer of geometric abstract art. Born near Kiev; trained at Kiev School of Art and Moscow Academy of Fine Arts; 1913 began creating abstract geometric patterns in style he called suprematism; taught painting in Moscow and Leningrad 1919–21; published book, The Nonobjective World (1926), on his theory; first to exhibit abstract geometric paintings; strove to produce pure, cerebral compositions; famous painting White on White (1918) carries suprematist theories to absolute conclusion; Soviet politics turned against modern art, and he died in poverty and oblivion. He began working in an unexceptional Post-Impressionist manner, but by 1912 he was painting peasant subjects in a massive ‘tubular’ style similar to that of Léger as well as pictures combining the fragmentation of form of Cubism with the multiplication of the image of Futurism (The Knife Grinder, Yale Univiversity Art Gallery, 1912).

Whirl-it lampshade - free DIY tutorial. We really needed a new lamp, and we´ve planned to make one for months.

Whirl-it lampshade - free DIY tutorial

This week we finally got around to it. It takes a bit of different materials, but it´s really easy when you´ve started. We recommend making it outdoors, as it gets quite messy. The result is pretty neat, especially at night when the threads cast shadow on the walls. We planned to make the lamp using the yarn Garnstudio Ice, but it ran out really quickly, and we had to improvise by using a thinner yarn to complete it. What we used One big, round balloon. How we did itGather all the materials.Put the yarn into the glue and mix properly. Fill the balloon to a desireable size.

We Make It Good

Home. The Son of Man. What's so appealing with René Magritte's "The Son of a Man" Is it the lack of chiaroscuro on how the whole picture seems to blend in with soft colors, which gives it a mysterious and dull tone - along with highlighting the apple?

The Son of Man

Is it the tranquil background with a blend-ish touch which higlights the man behind the apple? Or is it that there is an EFFING AWESOME apple in front of his face!? In my opinion it's the message, and meaning, which this picture is possesing. If I would interpret this picture I'd say it's about every man on the planet. This is quite strange since this picture is so unusual, still the meaning of it is (in my opinion) about something so comprehensive as the entire male population of the earth. Here's my view: The dull background could be seen as nearly any place on earth, which any man could be in.The man is wearing a bowler hat, which is supposedly representing any man (I think everyone wore bowlers back in those days, I mean who wouldn't?
