VirtueMart: Your free e-commerce solution. - Welcome... - 0 views

  •  
    Thinking about starting a webshop so you can sell your lovely pictures or magnifient paintings? I guess we are all in the same boat. My first choice would be Shopify (just look at how many ppl have saved it on del.icio.us!), but for a Trial/Free account, very very sadly, you take up to 5 oders, w/o SSL security or domain name, and that pushes me into looking for a perfect plan B. I found VirtueMart, haven't tried it but it looks very promising. Just look at Demos for some real actions; worried 'bout support already, I'm sure that a bunch of know-it-alls on Fourm would love to give you a hand.

Romanticism - 3 views

  • second half of the 18th century in Western Europe
  • revolt against aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment and a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature
  • confronting the sublimity of untamed nature and its picturesque qualities, both new aesthetic categories
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • escape the confines of population growth, urban sprawl and industrialism, and it also attempted to embrace the exotic, unfamiliar and distant
  • ideologies and events of the French Revolution laid the background
  • in the second half of the nineteenth century, "Realism"
  • Romanticism elevated the achievements of what it perceived as misunderstood heroic individuals and artists that altered society. It also legitimized the individual imagination as a critical authority which permitted freedom from classical notions of form in art
  • Despite this general usage of the term, a precise characterization and specific definition of Romanticism has been the subject of debate in the fields of intellectual history and literary history throughout the twentieth century, without any great measure of consensus emerging
  • t is the period of 1815 to 1848 which must be regarded as the true age of Romanticism in music - the age of the last compositions of Beethoven (d. 1827) and Schubert (d. 1828), of the works of Schumann (d. 1856) and Chopin (d.1849), of the early struggles of Berlioz and Richard Wagner, of the great virtuosi such as Paganini (d. 1840), and the young Liszt and Thalberg
  • At that time Germany was a multitude of small separate states, and Goethe's works would have a seminal influence in developing a unifying sense of nationalism
  • The poet and painter William Blake is the most extreme example of the Romantic sensibility in Britain, epitomised by his claim “I must create a system or be enslaved by another man's.”
  • In predominantly Roman Catholic countries Romanticism was less pronounced than in Germany and Britain, and tended to develop later, after the rise of Napoleon. François-René de Chateaubriand is often called the "Father of French Romanticism". In France, the movement is associated with the nineteenth century, particularly in the paintings of Théodore Géricault and Eugène Delacroix, the plays, poems and novels of Victor Hugo (such as "Les Misérables" and "Ninety-Three"), and the novels of Stendhal.
  • But by the 1880s, psychological and social realism was competing with romanticism in the novel.
  • One of Romanticism's key ideas and most enduring legacies is the assertion of nationalism, which became a central theme of Romantic art and political philosophy

Art Community & Forum : Art Face Off :: Top 10 Reasons Why Galleries Reject Artists - 0 views

  • Most artists harbor the fantasy that if they could only find one art dealer that loved and believed in their work, their career would be set. They secretly believe that there exists a special person that can catapult them to fame. Many artists spend most of their careers searching for "the perfect gallery." And, as all quests towards perfection, it is never ending. If they already have a gallery, it's not good enough; if they are looking for their first gallery, they dream about the moment when someone sets eyes on their work and offers them a solo show immediately. The harsh reality of the situation is having a gallery love your work, is only one very small part of what goes into the decision to represent an artist.
  • From a gallery's point of view, adding an artist to their stable is much like adding a stock to one's portfolio. There are many complicated factors to take into consideration, and liking the "stock" usually has very little to do with the decision.
  • Too Experienced
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Too Inexperienced
  • Too Difficult
  • the artist and the gallery need to have a level of trust and comfort that will guarantee honest communication. If a gallery perceives you as being a difficult person to work with, they tend to veer away.
  • Too Cheap
  • Too Expensive
  • Prices are established by the law of supply of demand (Read Pricing Your Art). If a gallery feels they can not price your work fairly and still make a 50% commission, they will not be willing to take a chance on you.
  • Too Different
  • Too Similar
  • A gallery looks at the group of artists they represent, much like an artist looks at a painting. It is not so much the individual artist that is considered, but, rather, how that art fits into the existing group.

Flickr: greyherbert's Photostream - 1 views

  •  
    A Flickr photostream by someone who has a very wide-ranging, obscure and tantalizing taste in art/artifacts. Much of the content is photos of old prints from books. The biggest problem is that there isn't much information on the provenance of most of the objects in addition to other details.

    This website is really a wonderful source for all who can't live without something new in daily basis. It covers from visual to stuff, from interaction to architecture (they all come in differnt feeds. How sweet is that!). And who decides that? It's YOU!! Their members/readers apparently are the boss 'cause  you can add anything fresh, informative or creative but others enjoy the equal right and freedom of deleting whatever hateful. It's a nice tactic, and working very very well for me! :D

Computer Arts - Be more creative - 0 views

  • It’s vital to keep your creative juices flowing when fulfilling design briefs, for both your work and your sanity. Industry pros reveal how they stay inspired
  • Computers aren’t everything – screens don’t provide solutions if you stare at them for long enough. Wrench yourself free and investigate relevant media and forms of expression.
  • If you’re working solo, however, work fast and don’t think too much – use sketchbooks to get ideas down quickly. And, when struggling, don’t force ideas; instead, temporarily put a project on hold and work on something else. Projects often then inform each other.
  •  
    "Computers aren't everything" I think that's an incredibly important statement. Drawing with a nice pen or pencil on good paper can get you thinking in a very different way than arranging pixels on a screen. When I'm stuck, or even when I'm not stuck for ideas I find the nearest library and look for the oldest, largest most decrepit books and pull them off the shelf to look at them. There are many gems languishing on forgotten shelves. The other day I found a very large book from the 1920s chock full of beautifully colored prints of Masonic symbols and imagery. I took photos, if anyone's interested...
