artemisdreaming: Michelangelo Buonarroti...
Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564)
Annunciation to the Virgin
Black chalk, some stumping, on paper; traced with a stylus
15 1/8 x 11 11/16 inches (383 x 297 mm)
Purchased by Pierpont Morgan, 1909; IV, 7
This magnificent drawing represents Michelangelo’s design for an altarpiece commissioned around 1547 for the Cesi family chapel in Santa Maria della Pace, Rome. Roused from her reading by the sudden appearance of a large angel who announces that she is to conceive and bear a son, the Virgin turns to look over her shoulder, raising a protective hand. The figures are evoked by a dense layering of delicate black chalk strokes, whereas the marks of the domestic setting—a cabinet supporting a statue of Moses and containing a basket, book, and pitcher—are only lightly outlined. Characterized by Vasari as a “cosa nuova” (new thing), the image constitutes a benchmark for religious art in Rome around 1550. Morgan Library

Talking about
Who likes to take about Georgia O`Keeffe. She is my favourite artis off all artist in the world.
Georgia Totto O’Keeffe (November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986) was an American artist. Born near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, O’Keeffe was a major figure in American art from the 1920s. She received widespread recognition for her technical contributions, as well as for challenging the boundaries of modern American artistic style. She is chiefly known for paintings of flowers, rocks, shells, animal bones, and landscapes in which she synthesized abstraction and representation. Her paintings present crisply contoured forms that are replete with subtle tonal transitions of varying colors. She often transformed her subject matter into powerful abstract images. New York Times critic Jed Perl in 2004 described her paintings as both “bold and hermetic, immediately appealing and unnervingly impassive.”
O’Keeffe played a central role in bringing an American art style to Europe at a time when the majority of influence flowed in the opposite direction. This feat enhanced her art-historical importance given that she was one of few women to have gained entry to this level of professional influence. She found artistic inspiration in the rural Southwest, particularly in New Mexico, where she settled late in life. by Wikipedia
She is was a wonderfull person and for and for those times a courageous, emancipated woman. Her art is simly minimalism and near by the nature.

Thomas Mackenzie was an illustrator from Bradford England working in the early part of the 20th century. His style is very reminiscent of his more famous contemporary Kay Nielsen. The images presented here are taken from his 1919 illustrations for Arthur Ransomes “Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp” . As well as the fabulous colour images shown here, the book is decorated on every page with fantastic borders and other embelishments in pen and ink. It is a great shame that he never acheived greater success. He died in France in 1944.

The Great Upheaval: Modern Art from the Guggenheim Collection, 1910–1918
The Great Upheaval: Modern Art from the Guggenheim Collection, 1910–1918:
February 4–June 1, 2011
When Vasily Kandinsky and Franz Marc formed Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) group in late 1911, the artists predicted a watershed in the arts, a große Umwälzung (great upheaval) that would radically challenge traditional artistic production. Undoubtedly, tremendous creativity and innovation characterized the years leading up to World War I, especially 1910–14. Cubism achieved recognition in Paris, sparking new artistic directions in France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Russia. Art’s more expressionistic manifestations were at an equally momentous stage in Germany and Austria; Kandinsky wrote his influential treatise On the Spiritual in Art in late 1911 (published 1912), and abstraction took hold. The Great Upheaval: Modern Art from the Guggenheim Collection, 1910–1918 features more than 100 works from the museum’s holdings, attesting to this period of collaboration, interchange, synthesis, and innovation.
Curated by Tracey Bashkoff, Curator, Collections and Exhibitions, and Megan Fontanella, Assistant Curator, Collections and Provenance.
This exhibition is supported by a grant from the Joseph and Sylvia Slifka Foundation.
