"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter."

—Oscar Wilde

David Wilkie was born in Pitlessie Fife on 18th November 1785.

Wilkie was the son of the parish minister of Cults. He developed a love for art at an early age. In 1799, after he had attended school at Pitlessie, Kingskettle and Cupar, his father reluctantly agreed to his becoming a painter. Through the influence of the Earl of Leven Wilkie was admitted to the Trustees’ Academy in Edinburgh, and began the study of art.

He is principally famous as the most popular genre painter of his time, but he also produced historical subjects and portraits. Wilkie moved to London in 1805 aged just 20, a year later an exhibition at The Royal Academy was a remarkable success for a painter so young.

His Chelsea Pensioners Reading the Gazette of the Battle of Waterloo commissioned by the Duke of Wellington, was so popular when shown at the Royal Academy that a rail had to be erected in front of it to protect it from the crowds. Between 1825–8 Wilkie travelled on the Continent for reasons of health (he had long been prone to nervous illness) and his work changed radically under the influence of Renaissance and Baroque painting, becoming weightier in subject matter and broader in touch.

In 1840 he went to the Holy Land to research material for his biblical paintings and died at sea on the return journey; Turner (one of his many artist friends) commemorated him in Peace: Burial at Sea, as seen in the last pic. The first pic is Wilkie by Corish painter John Opi, the second is a self portrait, pic 3 is Pitlessie Fair. The bust is Sir David Wilkie by Samuel Joseph and is on display in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh.

Pierre Gauvreau - Canadian Avant-Garde Art "Gauvreau was a signatory of the famous manifesto, Refus Global (Total Refusal), formed and published in 1948 by the Automatistes (1940s) and led by Borduas. The manifesto rejected formal academic strains of teaching and the Automatistes were heavily influenced by Surrealism and automatism. Of all the members, Gauvreau's favouritism towards a subconscious approach to painting: the freshness, the immediacy, and the freedom, solidified his work as "avant-garde". In 1977, after a hiatus of more than ten years during which his energies were absorbed by film and television, Gauvreau's colours intensified, his canvases grew larger, and he began working in a style that combined his earlier gestural brushwork with shapes and techniques associated usually with colour field and hard-edged painting: large areas of bright colour, geometric shapes, and the use of tape and collage to give sharply designated edges." #art #artist #paiter #canadianart #canadianartist #canadianculture #artistic #fineart #artworks #automaticpainting #avantgardeart #painting #experimentalart #avantgardepainting #abstract #abstractpaintings #collagepainting #mixedmediaart #contemparyart #VisualArt #culture #blog #artblog @expositionblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CNDJJcHnh20/?igshid=1r20jr0ug19s8
