Michael Van Zeyl, 1969 | Portrait / Magic Realism painter

By Art periods and styles , , ,

For Michael Van Zeyl, portraiture is much more than a one-sided translation of the artist’s point of view taking form in a subject. It’s an engaging visual dialogue that renders a soul in light, shadow and pigment, continuing the conversation for future generations to appreciate.
While technical skill and accurate rendering are only part of Michael’s gift, his experience has honed his craft to the highest standard.

Umberto Boccioni | Futurist painter

By Art periods and styles ,
Boccioni nasce (1882-1916) a Reggio Calabria e muore molto giovane a Verona, nel 1916. Formatosi come artista con il Puntinismo, sviluppa ulteriormente le sue capacità indirizzandole sul rapporto tra l'arte visiva e la psicologia.
È un artista molto colto ed informato sui movimenti delle prime avanguardie ed è tra i fondatori del Futurismo. Oltre che pittore è anche scultore ed è alla continua ricerca di delicate variazioni formali sostenute da una sostanziosa riflessione estetica. I suoi colori sono gioiosi ed i suoi volumi armoniosi e provocano emozioni.
La sua famiglia, di origine romagnola, si sposta prima a Padova (1888), poi a Catania (1897), dove Umberto si diploma ad un Istituto Tecnico. È qui che, ancora molto giovane, offre la sua collaborazione intellettuale a qualche giornale locale.
