"Wine Label Original Oil Painting" Joan Miro, by k Madison Moore

Joan Miro Wine Label Oil Painting

10 x 12 inches

Connoisseur Wine Masters Series

I absolutely loved, loved, loved painting this wine label painting.
Red is my favorite color so I am always my happiest when using it
in my paintings.
Joan Miro was such a free spirit and did not let the art
world dictate to him on the way things should be done as far as, palettes colors
and style. He remained free and painted many different styles. I admire this
as this is also my very true feeling of being an artist. Many artists stick to one style,
one subject, one palette.
Personally I will paint all, try many styles and use
as many beautiful colors as I can mix. This wine label painting was truley felt
every inch of the way with a variety of reds and a brilliant contrasting color palette. Enjoy!




Joan Miro - In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for  conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeoise society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favor of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.
Generally thought of as a Surrealist because of his interest in automatism and the use of sexual symbols (for example, ovoids with wavy lines emanating from them), Miró’s style was influenced in varying degrees by Surrealism. However, he rejected membership to any artistic movement in the interwar European years.
Miró was among the first artists to develop  automatic drawing as a way to undo previous established techniques in painting.MIro along with Andr'e Masson, represented the beginning of . Surrealism as an art movement. However, Miró chose not to become an official member of the Surrealists in order to be free to experiment with other artistic styles without compromising his position within the group. He pursued his own interests in the art world, ranging from automatic drawing and Surrealism, Expressionism, Color field painting.

"How did I think up my drawings and my ideas for painting? Well I'd come home to my Paris studio in Rue Blomet at night, I'd go to bed, and sometimes I hadn't any supper. I saw things, and I jotted them down in a notebook. I saw shapes on the ceiling..."

Joan Miro

Among Friends
Inspired by Henry Moore

This is and art museum exhibit oil painting that I have been thinking
about painting for so long.
I really enjoyed painting this one as I admire Henry Moore so much. Not only was he a painter but a wonderful unique sculptor certainly with his own vision. His large
commission sculptors made him a very wealthy artist.
I used to sculpt in my beginning years as an artist and really cannot image creating sculptures with the magnitude of Henry Moore's.
I got a kick out of placing two real humans among all the sculptures. in this exhibit.

This was a fun painting doing all the different patterns going on in nice brilliant colors. I thought this was a great design of Bakst's, especially for a ballet costume so I took on the challenge of painting it. The dancer is my impression from his painting titled "The Firebird, Ballet costume 1910.
I thought this wine label painting would look great on a longer narrower canvas with a long reflection and simply done with a brilliant gold background glazed with sienna. The sides are painted the same so no need for framing. Enjoy!

Leon Bakst May 10, 1866 - December 28, 1924 was a russian painter and scene and costume designer. He was an art teacher, portrait artist and worked for many magazines and was a stage designer, desigining sets from Greek tragadies and in 1908 made a name for himself as a scene-painter for Diaghilev with the Ballets Russes. He produced scenery for Cleopatra in 1901, Carnival in 1910 and many more. Famous artist Marc Chagall was one of his students.
During this time he lived in western Europe because as a jew he did not have the right to live permanently outside the Pale of Settlement which is a term given to a region of Imperial Russia.
In 1914, Bakst was elected a ,member of the Imperial Academy of Arts.
He died in Paris 1924 from lung cancer.

Just can't help myself when it comes to working with the
fashion designer  / artists, especially Erte. This is the 3rd in
the Wine Masters Series and there will be many more wine label
paintings with Erte and my other favorites. I always favored the Art Deco
period. I love the movie, the clothes, the furniture the art and the artists.
Maybe I lived in that era in another life. LOL!
This wine art painting favors more of the lavender pink pastel palette
with a little impasto to paint the beads / buds on the tree. Of course the deatails
 are better seen at hand than in my photo.
A beautiful dress, a little bubbly and ya never know
what could happen!

ERTE - Artist - Designer - Romain de Tirtoff  November 23, 1990 - April 21, 1990 was a Russian born French artists and designer.
In 1925 Erte went to Hollywood to design sets and costumes for the silent films and films such as Ben Hur, The Mystic, Time, the Comedian and Dance Madness for Loluis B. Mayer. Etre continued to work throughout his life designing revues, ballets and operas.
He had a major rejuvenation and much lauded interest in his career
during the 1960s with the Art Deco revival.
Erte is famed for his Art Deco costumes and paintings.

Wine Label Oil Painting by k Madison Moore

Wine Label Painting
Paul Poiret

12 x 9 inches


Connoisseur Wine Masters Series

Paul Poiret was born April 20, 1879 in Paris France and died April 30, 1944.
He was a French Fashion designer. He has enormous contributions to twentieth- century fashion.
He established his own fashion house in 1903 and made his name with the kimono coat.
Marketing and branding his name was most important to him so he threw lavish parties for to draw attentions to his work. He used flamboyant window displays of his designs to attract attention.

Here's a link to a good book about Paul Poiret. click here

I thought I would do a different twist on the reflection this time. I think this one is fun, especially the
gentlemen in the top hat that is barely present in the painting. The colors worked really great with mixing the reds and wine colors. Nice combination of colors.

SOLD - Thanks so much Colin

Connoisseur Wine Masters Series - Icons

I always loved old movies and Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall
were two of my favorite actors. Not to mention that Bogie and I share
the same birthday, January 23rd. Looking at the old black and white
movies has to make you think of how far we have
come with technology. This was a fun painting to do.
I will be doing more wine labels with icons.

The Works of Renoir

Renoir's paintings are notable for their vibrant light and saturated color, most often focusing on people in intimate and candid compositions. The female nude was one of his primary subjects. In characteristic Impressionist style, Renoir suggested the details of a scene through freely brushed touches of color, so that his figures softly fuse with one another and their surroundings.
His initial paintings show the influence of the colorism of Eugène Delacroix and the luminosity of Camille Corot. He also admired the realism of Gustave Courbet and Édouard Manet, and his early work resembles theirs in his use of black as a color. As well, Renoir admired Edgar Degas' sense of movement. Another painter Renoir greatly admired was the 18th century master François Boucher.

Wine Label Oil Painting - Pollock by k Madison Moore



Wine Label Oil Painting

 
Jackson Pollack

Oil Painting 10 x 20 inches

SOLD - Thank you MS

Connoisseur Wine Masters Series

This painting was a lot of fun but so much bigger than I usually do so it took a lot more time. There is
no way anyone could paint like Pollock. I grabbed a few of his shapes and a few of his splatter
techniques to give the impression of Pollack. I had to tape off areas of the painting and only leave the abstract area exposed so I could do all the splashing without runining the back ground of the piece. A colorful and fun paintingto do but time consuming! Enjoy

Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an influential American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety. He was regarded as a mostly reclusive artist. He had a volatile personality and struggled with alcoholism all of his life. In 1945, he married the artist Lee Krasner, who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy. He died at the age of 44 in an alcohol-related, single-car crash. In December 1956, he was given a memorial retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, and a larger more comprehensive exhibition there in 1967. More recently, in 1998 and 1999, his work was honored with large-scale retrospective exhibitions at MoMA and at The Tate in London.  In 2000, Pollock was the subject of an Academy Award-winning film directed by and starring Ed Harris.

Wine Label Oil Painting

 Frida Kahlo

9 x 12 inches
Oil Painting


SOLD 10
Thanks so much MS from Canada

Connoisseur Wine Masters Series

I was so blown away by Frida's life story that I was compelled too
paint her. However, portraits are really not my cup, especially in miniature
of tea so I think my impression of her is close.
She was very difficult to paint as she has many masculine features,
a huge uni -brow and a more than slight mustache. It was hard
painting a woman with these features and unusual but I'm happy that I did it.
The calla lily represents her love and husband Mexican artist Diego Rivera
famously known for his huge murals of Mexican culture and Calla Lilys.
I thought it a nice touch to the painting.




Frida Kahlo (born Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón; July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954) was a Mexican painter. She painted using vibrant colors in a style that was influenced by indigenous cultures of Mexico and European influences including Realism, Symbolism, and Surrealism. Many of her works are self-portraits that symbolically articulate her own pain and sexuality. Kahlo was married to Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.

Please click this link to read an incredible story about Fridi Kahlo.

As a young artist, Kahlo approached the Mexican painter, Diego Rivera, whose work she admired, asking him for advice about pursuing art as a career. He recognized her talent and her unique expression as truly special and uniquely Mexican.[citation needed] He encouraged her artistic development and began an intimate relationship with Frida. They were married in 1929, despite the disapproval of Frida's mother.

"I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality." -  Frida

Her self-portraits became a dominant part of her life when she was immobile for three months after her accident. Kahlo once said, "I paint myself because I am often alone and I am the subject I know best."

I once had a terrible accident and was seriously injured. I could not use my right arm, my painting arm, for 5 years and had many more injuries to rehap. I thought I would never be able to paint again.
When I read about Frida, I felt very lucky!


Later, in his autobiography, Diego Rivera wrote that the day Kahlo died was the most tragic day of his life, adding that, too late, he had realized that the most wonderful part of his life had been his love for her.

Wine Label Oil Painting-Kandinsky by k Madison Moore

  



 Wine Label Wassliy Kandinsky


11 x 14 inches
Oil Painting
Wassily Kandinsky Wine Label
Connoisseur Wine Masters Series

Another Kandinsky but I just couldn't resist when I
came up with the idea for blue glass. I have nothing blue
in my entire home but when I saw the blue wine glasses
I had to buy them. Of course we had to have a blue
wine bottle to match. This was a fun painting
especially distorting the reflection in the glasses.
Enjoy!





Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky (English pronunciation: /kənˈdɪnski/; Russian: Васи́лий Васи́льевич Канди́нский, Vasilij Vasil'evič Kandinskij; 4 December [O.S. 4 December] 1866 – 13 December 1944) was a Russian painter, and art theorist. He is credited with painting the first modern abstract works.
In 1896 he settled in Munich and studied first in the private school of Anton Ažbe and then at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. He went back to Moscow in 1914 after World War I started. He was unsympathetic to the official theories on art in Moscow and returned to Germany in 1921. There he taught at the Bauhaus school of art and architecture from 1922 until the Nazis closed it in 1933. He then moved to France where he lived the rest of his life, and became a French citizen in 1939. He died at Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1944.
