Mixed Art

in #hive-1949132 years ago

Today I decided to do something different. Usually I'm posting artworks from the same author in one post as exhibitions are mostly organized that way. Only in big museums you see artworks exhibited from multiple authors.

So today I have gathered different artworks from different artists and I'm going to post them together. It's going to be interesting to see different styles.

This artwork is called Mandolin and Dice, was created in the 1970's by Marcel Iancu and it is print on plaster on canvas glued to masonite. It's an interesting composition and I suppose the artist was thinking of a party as back in old days both things were needed for a good party in a pub.

This is a strange one and I would have never guessed the title. It's called Military Parade, was made by Marcel Iancu in 1967. I've been struggling to see why this is called military parade, when I see a woman on the drawing and the only clue that may lead to the title is the helmet, but you have to be a very good observant to see the helmet. Well, never try to guess what the artist was thinking about when creating the artwork.

Marcel Iancu - Military Parade. Despite of what it symbolizes (which is extremely sad), I like this artwork, for what it is. It's ink on paper and old paper applied as well. It is sad that a war had to happen and so many innocent people had to die, but that put aside, I love it.

Wounded Soldier, 1948, Marcel Iancu, watercolor on paper. From artistic point of view, this is a strange one.

Theater Costume, Marcel Iancu, crayons on paper. 😳

Sketch Of A Costume For The Play "The Bloody Wedding", Marcel Iancu, collage and watercolor on paper.

I don't know how you see this, but it was one of the pieces I loved, although it may not look like a shiny diamond. It is called Table Of Fruits, was created by Marcel Iancu and it is watercolor and collage on cardboard. The reason I like it so much is the collage part. I love old, yellow paper a lot and this artwork has exactly that. The frame is extra, reminds me of those old days, when they used these golden painted, heavy frames.

A Letter to Ion Vinea, and a Portrait of N.D. Cocea, both by Marcel Iancu. What I love here is the letter. Unfortunately we can't see the other part of the card, but I suppose it's a card. What makes it interesting for me is the drawing. Artists often did that, drew on a piece of paper, napkin, whatever they had at hand and often those sketches, drawings became very valuable. This is how you can make a simple piece of paper, or a boring card unique and also valuable.

Tiberias, by Marcel Iancu, oil on cardboard.

Tiberias is an Israeli city on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. A major Jewish center during Late Antiquity, it has been considered since the 16th century one of Judaism's Four Holy Cities, along with Jerusalem, Hebron, and Safed. source

I had to Google it as I've never heard of it, had no idea it's a city. Now I know. The painting is fantastic, it's one that I would gladly hang on my wall. What I like about it is the color combination and the style. I mean it's a bit rough, but in the good sense of the word and that's why I love it. The frame was also perfectly chosen.

Harbour, by Marcel Iancu, oil on canvas. This is part of a private collection, there's no data about who the owner is, but whoever it is, it's a lucky person. This is another one that I would hang on my wall. Obviously we don't know how much these paintings worth as none of them is on the market, but I'm sure I would not pay the listing price 😂 Maybe one day I'll be able to create my own.

Another Harbour painting by the same author, but a different style. I'm not saying it's not good as it would be a lie and rude as well, but it's not my style.

And this is the final piece from Marcel Iancu, it's called Portrait of a Girl and it is oil on canvas. I think I stared at it for a good few minutes and the reason was the girl's face. The whole painting is a bit "geometric" starting from the chair, strait lines and proper corners, but her face too, which is not a bad thing, it makes the whole painting interesting. I also liked the colors chosen.

This painting is from another exhibition, it's called Still Life, the artist is Dénes Molnár and it's a pastel. The photo is not the best as I had to take it from the side, due to the strong reflections, but what I want to show you is clearly visible and that's the skull. It looks like a drawing practice that you see on YouTube videos, which makes it interesting.

Another artwork of the same author, called Details Of The Garden, a tint drawing. Unfortunately it was under a glass and this was the best I could do. The reason I wanted to take this photo is the details. The whole scene reminds me of the times when the first frost arrives and catches the grass and other plants unexpectedly. I admire the details a lot.

So, which one is your favorite today?

How does an artist's brain work? I'm always in awe whenever I see a seemingly chaotic piece yet appealing. It touches the heart.

How does an artist's brain work?

I suppose the answer would be scary, so I prefer not to know 😂

Seemingly chaotic pieces are maybe the best.

All paintings are good. Harbour is looking great. Most often , the message or the story these art carries is more beautiful than the art.

It depends on the viewer and their taste, but in any case the message is interesting too at times.

Love it :) To say it really simple, love it. But I think you know that ;) Thanks for sharing with us this great artists and Artwork. Its a pleasure to see all of them. Muitooooooooooooo Obrigada

It makes me happy to hear that. I love it too and also love sharing it as I know a lot of people don't have the possibility to visit these exhibitions. 😃

Indeed, thats why I am sharing some Exhibition too. Spreading art out to the woooooorld. 🤗💕🙌🏼🎨🙏🏼✨🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Biiiig hiiiive huuugs to yaaaa
Rock on like thaf6and have a marvelous day. 😊🐝

Honestly I've never been in an art gallery but thanks for this blog it gives me the feeling that I am inside in art museum right now.

I've been in a National Gallery about three weeks ago, and it's fascinating indeed to see different styles and techniques in the displayed artwork. Now I'm motivated to share what I saw soon!

Great day to you @erikah!😁

I'm very happy to hear that. At least we get to see what the other side of the world offers us regarding art, without even being there! 😂

Have a nice day you too!

I think that each painting holds so much history that people really like to paint the art

It is true, there's history behind every piece of art. And a lot of work.

In my area there is no such thing, so I have to leave the province if I want to see this kind of thing

Actually, I like the last one by far the most! !LUV

It's very different from the others, which is normal as it's by a different artist and it's very interesting.

I love going to art galleries too.. I like that lady with a monkey

That is a nice piece indeed.

Well, never try to guess what the artist was thinking about when creating the artwork.

It seems we now know what we need to do 🤣🤣.

I like this paintings, for the first time the names and paintings matched. And my favorite is Portrait of a Girl. It looks so aesthetic. My second favorite is Harbour, the first one.

I like those too. Looks like we have similar taste :) Good choice!
