Different Styles, Different Times
Visiting so many art exhibitions can be very exciting as you always get to see new things that surprise you. Each exhibition has its own magic. However, apart from watching the artworks, I'm also interested in how those artworks are created. Some are easy to figure out, others are a mystery to me as my knowledge is not enough. It's guessing, but it's a nice game.
The artworks I'm going to show you are part of a private collection and it is the property of one person, it also represents the artistic taste of the owner.
Figures
Memory
Composition
Sometimes I'm looking at paintings, drawings and collages, thinking I could do something similar as the composition before my eyes doesn't seem so difficult, yet they were the ones to create the artwork, not me 😂 This is like being smart, after others have already invented something. However, this is how you learn I think, not that I ever want to follow their footsteps.
Composition
This was a bit of a shock to be honest, I wasn't expecting such a work, but it's interesting.
Quo Vadis, Domine?
There were many amazing artworks exhibited, but for me, this was the cherry on top of the cake. The title is in Latin and it means Where are you going master?
I took a few close-up photos for you to see how it is made and maybe you can't see that from where I took the photo.
I don't know how this technique is called, but it fascinates me. I call it simple as there are only lines, but in fact this is everything but simple. You need to have a clear picture in your head, a defined plan on how to draw those lines, to get what you want. There are no colors here, just lines leaning left and right.
Look at how many people are in this painting. How do you plan and organize a composition like that. Beats me, but I admire the artist a lot. His name is Tamás Vass. Hats off in any case. I stood there and looked at the drawing for 10 minutes. Was thinking if I could buy a few artworks, this one would definitely be among those.
Forms
This was made with the same technique, it's ink on paper, but this is simpler than the previous one.
Still Life
When I saw this watercolor painting, made in 1974, was thinking back in the day this kind of still life was very common. You see these now in movies and on photos, but their time has passed I suppose.
Triptych
Winter Landscape
A scene that was very common once, was part of every day's life. Now you can't see it anymore and haystacks are on their way of disappearance. Instead of haystacks we have rolls and farmers don't leave the hay outside, unprotected. I found this painting beautiful, bu a bit too dark for my taste.
Landscape Along The Mures Coast
This painting was painted in 1951 and it reminded me of van Gogh, but can't explain why. Life is full of surprises and the human mind has its own way.
Baia Mare Landscape
If I were to use one word for this painting, that would be brutal and that means no disrespect for the artist as the word refers to the style. I was looking for a year, to see if the paint is cracked or it's just an illusion, but could not find any.
So, do you have any favorite today?

Wow I wish I could take pictures as good as you do. All these paintings are dope but I’m more interested in how excellent you were able to capture them 🤩👍🏿
Thank you, but it's not rocket science, trust me, you just click on the screen and that's all.
lol. It’s not that simple you know
Wow, that is really great! Visiting art is something that nourishes me as well.
By the way, together with two important italian (international) art curators we are launching soon a platform for Digital Art in a form of a Gallery. If you think you know artists that may be interested or would like to get to know more, feel free to address them to me! We would love to show them our proposal
Thank you for notifying me. I'm not in contact with any artists, but it's good to know.
I also got reminded of Van Gogh, maybe because of the almost same colors or style? IDK hahaha
Aaaah, I tried looking at it and my chaotic brain got more chaotic. 😂
So I prefer to look at the simpler one below it. I don't know why but I like it.
See? There must be something similar to van Gogh's style if you got reminded of him as well :)
The other one is a good choice :)
I don't think it arrogant to think one may be able to attempt to do something they see, even if a master did the thing they are seeing. I feel like trying would be one of the best ways to compare and contrast your successes and failures in your final outcome... and try again. Rinse and repeat and eventually... the technique or skills that you acquire or sharpen in your attempts could only help.
Even if in the end, your own style would be something much different it could be like a physical thought experiment but in a practical application. Just a thought...
I agree. "Copying" helps you to explore and understand (maybe) what the artist was doing, it helps you to really see, and in doing so, you understand more about your own skills and interests.
All these arts looks so beautiful and amazing. The way these things are made, it takes a lot of work and time to make them, but they still turn out beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
The exhibition is fun, being able to see the results of the paintings that are displayed perfectly, their work deserves to be given an award for such a fine work of art, of course they are great painters.
Looks amazgin. That one is my favorite. Every art has a value but some of them is very impressing.
"Quo Vadis, Domine?" is really a masterpiece. The detail, precision, calculation and creativity in that piece of art is undoubtedly magnificent. Tamás Vass did an excellent work there... honestly, and I join you in "offing" my hat for this artist.
Other drawings look really wonderful. It's such a rich private collection.

Frequent visit to art exhibitions makes me to personally have an increased appreciation for the beauty of art ..
I like it, good idea, I'll look for that Grigorescu classic countryside one maybe. To make people wonder here.
You have done full justice to the photos and must say that your photography is awesome.

I'm not sure about that but I did what I could.
Various different styles for sure and the way you have captured is very nice. I like the collection.

Thank you.
It is interesting how so many different styles come together for this wonderful art collection.
Cannot help but imagine if all these artists came together to create a collate of work.
I know it sounds wishful thinking but if such a thing was possible it would be amazing.
Yet the collection is amazing
