Is This The Best Way to Recognize the Artists of Famous Paintings? Is This The Best Way to Recognize the Artists of Famous Paintings? March 8, 2014 in Uncategorized If you haven’t studied art history, it can sometimes be a bit confronting walking around a museum or art gallery and trying to get your head around who painted what. So with this in mind, here’s a bit of a tongue-in-cheek guide as to how YOU can easily work out which artist painted what. Though some may fault them for being gross over-generalizations, these descriptions take the recognizable essence of each painter’s work and put it in very easy words that anyone can understand and, more importantly, remember. Enjoy! If everyone in the paintings has enormous asses, then it’s Rubens. If all the men look like cow-eyed curly-haired women, it’s Caravaggio. If everybody has some sort of body malfunction, then it’s Picasso. If it’s something you saw on your acid trip last night, it’s Dali. If the images have a dark background and everyone has tortured expressions on their faces, it’s Titian.

Iconic Artists at Work: Watch Rare Videos of Picasso, Matisse, Kandinsky, Renoir, Monet and More Claude Monet, 1915: We've all seen their works in fixed form, enshrined in museums and printed in books. But there's something special about watching a great artist at work. Over the years, we've posted film clips of some of the greatest artists of the 20th century caught in the act of creation. Today we've gathered together eight of our all-time favorites. Above is the only known film footage of the French Impressionist Claude Monet, made when he was 74 years old, painting alongside a lily pond in his garden at Giverny. Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1915: You may never look at a painting by the French Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir in quite the same way after seeing the footage above, which is also from Sacha Guitry's Ceux de Chez Nous.
