Fabulous photography wanted for art.com Art Story contest. Today is the last day to submit!

Magnificently inspiring photos wanted! Enter the Photos to Art Story Contest by Monday, June 11 2pm - just a few days left! http://go.art.com/photocontest

Art is all about rousing thought and emotion, and for many of us, there’s certainly something special about the relationship between humans and horses—or, as Sir Winston Churchill put it, “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” If you’ve taken a photo that inspires you—be it of animals, landscapes, or your family—you can enter our photo contest by June 11th, and be sure to tell us why the picture is special to you.

A camera adds another facet to the relationship between men and horses, and it was equine photography contributed to cinematography. Leland Stanford, the former governor of California and a race-horse owner, wanted to know whether or not all four of a horse’s hooves left the ground during a gallop. It was pretty popular debate in the late 19th century, and Stanford had the wealth to fund a study. He hired Eadweard Muybridge to settle the debate with rapid photography; Muybridge set up several cameras, which were triggered by a thread as the horse passed. Muybridge copied the series of images into a disc meant to be rotated rapidly, giving the impression of motion. The device is called a “zoopraxiscope,” and it was a predecessor of the movie projector.

And todays lesson from art.com is...

Alasdair Lloyd-Jones has spent his life contributing artistic visions to the advertising and communications industries, and his artCircles™ for iPad collection is dubbed “Imagination’s Influencers.” Lloyd-Jones also notes that in each of these pieces he sees “a springboard to a story of a challenge to a mood,” and so it seems fitting that his collection includes this piece, “Christina’s World,” by realist painter Andrew Wyeth.

Wyeth (1917 – 2009) was a Pennsylvania native, and is one of the best known American artists in history. He was the youngest son of N.C. Wyeth, a well-regarded illustrator, who homeschooled his son for much of his youth (due to Andrew’s frail health as a child). The elder Wyeth cultivated his son’s artistic talents from an early age, and Andrew Wyeth held his first solo exhibition at age 20—he showed a collection of watercolor paintings, which promptly sold out.

Scenes of hardscrabble American life are what Wyeth did best, and this painting is no exception. Spare compositions and muted hues were Wyeth’s signature, and he drew the most inspiration from the land and people surrounding him. Christina Olson is the name of this painting’s muse, and she was one of Wyeth’s neighbors in Maine in the mid-20th century. She suffered from polio and was paralyzed from the waist down, and Wyeth spied her crawling across a field toward her home and was struck by her determination. The painting is an ode to her strong will, and is now one of the most well-known paintings in the world.

I love art.com's postings, with the art and artist information included.

“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” Pablo Picasso

Over the course of his long and storied artistic career, Pablo Picasso produced an astounding number and variety of images. Balancing darker works that addressed themes of death and war, Picasso also painted bright and colorful works that express a positive outlook – or possibly a nostalgic look back. Painted in 1952, the sunny coastal scene depicted in “Mediterranean Landscape” may have been prompted in part by fond memories of the artist’s native Malaga. (http://www.art.com/products/p10020068-sa-i790093/pablo-picasso-mediterranean-landscape.htm?rfid=220421)

Many of Pablo Picasso’s artworks document his reactions to the turbulent times he lived through (most notably “Guernica”, which for many continues to embody the inhumanity, brutality, and hopelessness of war) and to his equally tumultuous personal life, but in “Mediterranean Landscape” he creates an energetic, uplifting image that bespeaks a happier, more positive mindset. Picasso described his artwork as a journal of his life, and in this piece, completed shortly after he turned 70, he incorporates several elements from his past: the landscape format which was most common in his early career, Cubist deconstruction from the movement he helped found, dynamic diagonal lines that make up triangles that recall his collage work, and the bright colors that enliven much of his later work.
