Artist A Day depends on help from it's users to bring Fine Art to students and folks just like you all over the world. Before you go, consider a small donation, of as little as $1, to help keep us around!
"Clearly an example of expert rendering, but the work wouldn't engage the viewer for that long if it were all that it is. Thankfully, these works move past mere physical representations and also employ symbolic intentional distortions and abstractions. These distortions have two important effects: first of all, they give variety to the piece in a formal way; secondly, they compel the viewer to ask conceptual questions, "why is that swath of color over the subject's eyes? what does that mean". By drawing the viewer into the work in this way it makes the work not just "good" or even "the best" but even better, it makes it engaging."
