Art within Art Series

This is a little different than most of the Art within Art 

paintings I have been doing. Just wanted try try something 

a bit different. I found this painting of Picasso's and was the

first time I saw it. The pretty lady, I" I think" may have been

inspired by Tarkey. I say "think" because after I painted her

I realized how similar she looked to Tarkay's work. I wasn't

even thinking Tarkay when I painted her. It is funny when 

I study so many artists how much they influence my personal

compositions. The Picasso lady seems to be wondering

what the Tarkay lady is thinking?...or maybe she already 

knows? Are they having Mingled Thoughts?

Enjoy!

Composing with Beethoven, by k Madison Moore

Composing with Beethoven

11 x 14 Oil painting on canvas

Art within Art Series

SOLD

I have so many fans and collectors that

love music as well as art so I thought

It would be cool to do a painting around

the late great Beethoven. When Warhol

was asked why he painted Beethoven, he

said because so many people love Beethoven

that he thought is was and interesting subject.

I guess I feel the same way. I just had to sneak

in a silhouette of a conductor here to portray

Ludwig van Beethoven. Enjoy!

Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola August 6, 1928.
Born to Slovak immigrants, he was reared in a working class suburb
of Pittsburgh. From an early age, Warhol showed an interest in
photography and drawing, attending free classes at Carnegie Institute.

Throughout the nineteen fifties, Warhol enjoyed a successful
career as a commercial artist, winning several commendations
 from the Art Director's Club and the American Institute of
Graphic Arts. During this period, he shortened his name to
 "Warhol." In 1952, the artist had his first solo exhibition at the
Hugo Gallery

Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), the second-oldest
child of the court musician and tenor singer Johann
van Beethoven, was born in Bonn. Ludwig's father drilled
 him thoroughly with the ambition of showcasing him as a
 child prodigy. Ludwig gave his first public performance as
a pianist when he was eight years old. At the age of eleven
he received the necessary systematic training in piano
 performance and composition from Christian Gottlob Neefe,
organist and court musician in Bonn.


Beethoven's career as a virtuoso pianist was brought to an
 end when he began to experience his first symptoms of
 deafness. In a letter written to his friend Karl Ameda on
1 July 1801, he admitted he was experiencing signs of deafness.

How often I wish you were here, for your Beethoven's career as a virtuoso

pianist was brought to an end when he began to experience his first symptoms 

of deafness. In a letter written to his friend Karl Ameda on 1 July 1801, 

he admitted he was experiencing signs of deafness.

The final years in the life of the restless bachelor
(he changed living quarters no fewer than fifty-two times
) were darkened by severe illness and by the struggle over
the guardianship of his nephew Karl, upon whom he poured
his solicitude, jealousy, expectations and threats in an effort
 to shape the boy according to his wishes. When the most
 famous composer of the age died, about thirty thousand
mourners and curious onlookers were present at the funeral

procession on March 26, 1827.

  •      I always enjoy painting with Klimt but there are sooo many details. They just go on and on.
         I have done  "The Kiss by Klimt" so many times and never get tired of it as it is my favorite
         his.  I already did a Klimt with a harp but it was so popular I thought I would try another.
         The Harpist  and the flooring is from two more Klimt paintings.

         I used a lot of Metallics in this one just as Klimt did in many of his paintings.
         It is very hard to capture metallic's with a camera. I used 3 shades of red and over layed
         them as glazes along with deep gold, siennas, blacks, blues, gree and whites. Enjoy!

  •    Inspired by Gustav Klimt
           
       The work of the Austrian painter and illustrator Gustav Klimt, b. July 14, 1862, d. Feb. 6, 1918,  founder of the school of painting known as the Vienna Sezession, embodies the high-keyed erotic, psychological, and aesthetic preoccupations of turn-of-the-century Vienna's dazzling intellectual world.

He has been called the preeminent exponent of ART NOUVEAU. Klimt began (1883) as an artist-decorator in association with his brother and Franz Matsoh. In 1886-92, Klimt executed mural decorations for staircases at the Burg theater and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna; these confirmed Klimt's eclecticism and broadened his range of historical references. Klimt was a co-founder and the first president of the Vienna Secession, a group of modernist architects and artists who organized their own exhibition society and gave rise to the SECESSION MOVEMENT, or the Viennese version of Art Nouveau. He was also a frequent contributor to Ver Sacrum, the group's journal. The primal forces of sexuality, regeneration, love, and death form the dominant themes of Klimt's work. His paintings of femme fatales
