Oil Paintings, A Wonderful Creation

Why is important to choose the exact painting media? There are different answers for this question. However, the answer comes from oneself. Remember, your ability and talent determinate your own style. The majority of painters work with Oil Paintings and canvas as surface. Imagination is another option to create artworks.

There is an essential word that every painter should remember, freedom. The creative freedom of painting is such that an artist (painter, sculptor, craftsman, etc) can choose almost any media to develop her or his work. These works always need strong canvas to make good Oil Paintings.

The most popular and recognized painting styles are: Art Nouveau, Baroque, Cubism, Expressionism, Fauvism, Impressionism, Modernism, Neoclassicism, Pop Art, Realism, Romanticism, Surrealism, Symbolism, etc. These styles are excellently represented in famous Oil Paintings. For example, now we will appreciate a brief biography of Henry Moore.

Henry Spencer Moore (July 1898 – August 1986) was an English artist and sculptor. He is well known for his abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art. Moore’s style belongs to modernism. He was influenced by famous sculptors and artists such as Michelangelo, Giovanni Pisano, Sir Anthony Caro, Phillip King and Isaac Witkin.

His sculptures are frequently abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore’s works are usually suggestive of the female body. Later, He also sculpted family groups but to a lesser extent. These are part of his most popular sculptures: Large Divided Oval: Butterfly (1985), Three Way Piece (1964-1965), Two Piece Reclining (1963–1964), Two Piece Reclining (1963–1964), Locking Piece (1963), Double Oval (1966), Oval with Points (1968-1970) and Hill Arches (1972-1973). These sculptures are located in Berlin, London, Toronto and Australia.
