Red Vineyard at Arles… http://prints.icanvasart.com/LargeArtImage/1318.jpg

Happy Youth Art Month: Fun Art Fact of the Day: In a short period of only ten years Vincent van Gogh made approximately 900 paintings.

#Camera in the #1600’s? #Vermeer is challenged by #Hockney

Happy Youth Art Month: Contemporary artist David Hockney has controversially proposed that Johannes Vermeer, from the Golden Age of Dutch Painting, used a forerunner of the camera during the 16th century, known as the Camera Obscura. While camera work is frowned upon by many fine artists today, Vermeer used images from that camera to project the scene he was to paint onto his canvas – nearly 200 years before the invention of the contemporary camera. Read the article from VANITY FAIR HERE!
