Auguste Rodin’s *The Kiss*, 1882

I know that this is a sculpture of sexual love, of a story of an affair and a pair meant to wander together in hell, but I can’t help but see love at every angle. The tenderness of his hand around her hip, her arms thrown, carefree and trusting, around his next, toes curled in a passion that forever and only exists between them.

Two great master turtles of the renaissance (English-Spanish)

It used to be said that Leonardo was more cautious and elegant, Michelangelo more impulsive. On the other hand; It was said that while Leonardo adapted the technique, Michelangelo adapted to it; For me, Leonardo was a much more dreamy scientist, and Michelangelo was the perfectionist with great patience. Contrary to our turtles, where Leo is the perfectionist who works hard to adapt to the technique, while Mikey is more creative and molds it to his taste and convenience. Two opposites, who are respected and admired, no doubt two great masters! PD: Inspire the drawing of both artists in a caricature of a pictoline infographic and if you know the story, you will know the moment when both spoke (it's a recreation that never happened) PD: My mother tongue ins’t English, sorry if you see any error

Traducción: 

Solía decirse que Leonardo era más cauto y elegante, Miguel Ángel más impulsivo. Por otro lado; se decía que mientras Leonardo amoldaba la técnica, Miguel Ángel se amoldaba a ella; para mi, Leonardo era un científico mucho más soñador, y Miguel Ángel era el perfeccionista con la gran paciencia. Al contrario de nuestras tortugas, donde Leo es el perfeccionista que trabaja duro para amoldarse a la técnica mientras Mikey es más creativo y la amolda a su gusto y conveniencia. Dos opuestos, que se respetan y admiran, sin duda dos grandes maestros. PD: Inspire el dibujo de los dos artistas en una caricatura de una infografia de pictoline y si conoces de historia, sabrás el momento en que ambos hablaron (Esto es una recreación nunca pasó)

Edgar Degas Master Artist

Early Years of Edgar Degas Edgar Degas was born in Paris as the son of a wealthy banker. He studied art at the famous Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After having finished his studies he went to Italy where he stayed for five year studying and copying meticulously the old masters of the Renaissance. His decision to study the old masters was typical for his personality - that of a perfectionist. Back in France in 1859, Degas exhibited his works for the first five years at the official Salon in Paris. Later he joined the Impressionists and showed his art work in their exhibitions from 1874 to 1886.

Subjects and Style The favorite subjects of Degas were scenes from the world of entertainment and later from everyday's life. Ballet dancers, little ballerinas, women in intimate situations and horse races are the subjects that are immediately associated with him. Degas in contrast to his impressionist colleagues, preferred to work in a studio. He made sketches of his subjects on the spot and created the painting later in his studio. Toulouse-Lautrec, who was a great admirer of Edgar Degas, had the same work style. Japanese prints were very popular at the end of the nineteenth century and had a great influence on the French impressionists. Edgar Degas was one of the admirers of Japanese prints. And the influence can be seen in some of his daring compositions using large areas of flat colors. Degas was an artist torn between traditional art and the modern impressionist movement. He admired the French artist Ingres and the great Italian painters. His own compositions of images are harmonious and follow the traditions of the old masters. And what often looks like the spontaneous sketch of a genial moment, was in reality the elaborate result of a perfectionist. From the impressionists he had learned the use of creating effects with light, a daring use of colors and new ways to show the human figure in motion. And from the Japanese ukiyo-e masters he had learned the use of space.

Edgar Degas as a Printmaker and Sculptor Degas used a wide variety of mediums and techniques. When he grew older, he turned to sculpturing, pastels and printmaking. In his thrive for perfection, he repeated the same subjects again and again. When he concentrated on printmaking in the nineties, his preferred subjects were female nudes, either nude women at their toilette or nude dancers. Edgar Degas had a collection of decorative utensils like a bathtub, a sofa and a curtained bed in a corner of his studio.

During the war with Germany in 1870-1871 Degas served in the French army. The medical cause is not known, but since his time in the military service, he had problems with his eyes. In his late years the artist's eyesight deteriorated more and more. He was unable to create oil paintings and focused his artistic creativity on sculptures. Degas formed his sculptures using wax or clay. Favorite subjects were ballerinas or race horses. When Degas had passed away, he left more than 2000 oil paintings and pastels and 150 sculptures. The sculpture models were all cast after his death. Wishing you all a great weekend! -Zeana Romanovna Fine Art Portfolio and Contact
