Laelaps

Laelaps

This is a painting of a scene of two dinosaurs battling it out with each other, like men in the cossleum. Which was highly influental and actually, some believe that these prCharles R Knightedators represent the savagely competitive palaeontologists Othniel C Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope, both of whom would blow up dig sites with dynamite to obstruct the other's discoveries.

butter sculptures

Artworks made from butter, historically linked to special occasions. The earliest recording of butter sculptures was from Pope (Not so) Pius V's cook Bartolomeo Scappi in 1536, in which he made a Hercules fighting a Lion. The type of butter sculptures we now use in the 21st century was popularized by Caroline Shaw Brooks, in the 19th century. She was an artist who lived on a farm back in old Penn, and made various butter sculptures.

The Ichthyosaur and the Plesiosaur (Lias Period)

This is the first painting by Édouard Riou; engraved by Laurent Hotelin and Alexandre Hurely Édouard Riou, was the first which used the [] and the [], which batted them with each other as enemies. Artists and scientists portrayed ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs as dire enemies. Warring above the waves, the two reptiles became the single most prevalent motif in 19th-century paleoart, in part because they provided ideal allegorical vessels for the naval conflicts of the age.

Caroline Shaw Brooks

This artist was one pioneers of the butter art form; she was a lonely rural artist from Ohio who married a farmer way back in the 1860s, of course, through this marriage she thought creatively about what to make art from the farm's products and tools, and voila her butter art was created. The first instance of her sculptures was in 1873 in which she created a sculpture of the blind princess from King René's Daughter Iolanthe, Dreaming Iolanthe as it was known was displayed at the Cincinnati Art Gallery in 1874 for two weeks to the amusement of thousands, in 1876 she made a bass-relief of Iolanthe for the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition, which would be shipped to France in 1878 for the Third Paris World's fair.

Dreaming Iolanthe

A butter sculpture made by Caroline Shawk Brooks in 1873. It depicts the blind princess Iolanthe from Henrik Hertz's drama "King René's Daughter".

[]'s Missa

This is an art piece by [] in which 100 army boots lovingly bought from your favourite army surplus store, were arranged in a grid of 700x700cm and dangled by strings in a silent, void empty room with nothing inside but the hanging boots of an army which - creates obedience in the citizens of the nation, an army which - is as faceless as they portraited the enemy, an army that - is all-powerful, an army that relies on fear or loyalty? The gist of it is that it talks about the struggle and how an army oppresses its people without a face.

Dominique Blain

An artist who constructed the work Missa, a grid of 100 pairs of army boots meant to relate to the austerity of the war and the faceless soldiers it cost. This artist is well known for their abstract works of art with deep meanings..

Judith on the Red Square

Painting of the head of Josef Stalin perched on Judith's (an Israelite who beheaded an invading general, but this one of the Judith and Holofrenes thing, Judith is depicted as a LITTLE GIRL, not a young woman) hand by Komar and Melamid (2 exiled Soviet artists)

Judith with the Head of Holofernes

This biblical illustration created for an epic on the "history of mankind" created back in 1493, depicts a Judith with a sword, with this version being created by Michael Wolgemut & Wilhelm Pleydenwurff.

Judith and Holofernes (1554)

An oil painting by Giorgio Vasari in [] that depicts Judith with enhanced physical prowess about to behead Holofernes. This is considered an abandonment of realism in favour of portraying ideals.

Judith Slaying Holofernes

This version of the "Judith vs Holofernes" trope was created by one of the first great female European artists, Artemisia Gentileschi in 1612-1613. This one has true feminine rage as Gentileschi wanted to put her rage against society in this painting with the more "livid" Judith being strongly against her oppressor. This one is most inspired by the works of Vassari and has a more "alive" feel to it.

Judith and Holofernes (1880)

A painting by Pedro Americo in 1880 depicts Judith giving thanks to God after slaying Holofernes, whose head lays on the ground. This version has a much more nationalistic and "look i've saved our people, lets partayy!!!!" (in goes HAVA NAGILA) feel to it, as Americo was a very nationalistic and Brazilian painter.

Judith and Holofernes (2012)

A painting by Kehinde Wiley in 2012, depicting Judith as a black woman holding the head of a white woman on Wiley's typical floral background. It is Wiley's modern take on "Judith and the Head of Holofernes" by Giovanni Baglione in 1608. It is the first in Wiley's series "An Economy of Grace", in which he used street casting to find female subjects for each of the paintings in this series. The painting calls attention to the lack of representation of people of colour in art.

Artemisia Gentileschi

A renaissance painter famous for vivid depictions of dramatic sense and her Judith paintings, the main feel that she gave in her art was that of "feminine" rage against the machine. As a woman of the era, she suffered so much, that she created these great paintings.

This African-American female artist adapts classical portraits with a black spin on classical paintings, by replacing Napoleon with Tupac in "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" and other black icons.

Napoleon Crossing the Alps (1802-1805)

A series of five oil on canvas equestrian portraits of Napoleon Bonaparte painted by the French artist Jacques-Louis David between [] and []. It was the one where Napoleon didn't want to be the subject, (because he believed that "Nobody knows if the portraits of the great men resemble them, it is enough that their genius lives there.") Thus David used his son as the subject instead of Napoleon. This is the first type of Napoleon painting and HEAVILY screwed up the history as David wanted Napoleon to be as majestic as a god in the Greek style.

Calm on a fiery horse

The direction that Napoleon gave to Jacques-Louis David

Bonaparte Crossing the Alps (1850)

This is a 1848-1850 oil painting by French artist Paul Delaroche, as a response to the original one by Jacques-Louis David. The painting depicts Napoleon Bonaparte leading his army through the Alps on a mule, while local guides him on the journey through the mountains. A journey Napoleon and his army of soldiers made in the spring of 1800 in an attempt to surprise the Austrian army in Italy.

Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851)

Famously painted by Emanuel Leutze and was part of America's founding myth. Is inaccurate. Because the subject [], was situated in a position in which he would probably fall and trip and die into the ice. Plus, the time the painting is set in is the afternoon, while the event happened in the middle of the night. But, something which the painting was important in is that it depicted a black person in a voice for Leutze's liberal stance which made him create this painting. The painting's original version was destroyed in bombing of Berlin LOL.

Emanuel Leutze

A 19th-century German-American painter who made "Washington Crossing the Delaware" (1851), which is iconic and inaccurate. Yet, he was a liberal who created so many paintings that funded the Union war effort with his paintings.

Washington Crossing the Delaware (2011)

A version of the original work created by the war illustrator Mort Kunstler, which replaced many of the original works' inaccuracies by painting a warn-down raft instead of a boat. The event occurs at night time instead of in the afternoon. Et Cetera. With a few minor additions added in for safekeeping.

George Washington Carver Crossing the Delaware

A painting in 1975 by Robert Colescott depicting a fictional crew of a famous black agriculturist. It is made to be much less realistic and lacks depth techniques. This was originally meant to be a satirical piece of art, but it has come to be interpreted as a piece of rewriting America's national self-mythology and as a parody meant to depict the complexity of history.

Robert Colescott

The Romantic Dollarscape

In this painting by Pedro Alvarez, the main feature point is that Alvarez captured in magnum the American dream, husked in a landscape of dread and disappeared. The Washington monument, his head below, and the various pieces of Americana symbolize how Alvarez wanted to capture the surrealness of the American lifestyle, romantically. Something interesting about Alvarez himself is, that he rose to prominence in the Cuban Special Era, whereas the Cuban Economy crashed, and his death remains a mystery due to this question

A 1993 epic on the German Businessman [], who saved thousands of Jews by making them his workers at his metal, ammunition, and enamelware factory, instead of getting sent to Autsweitch. The movie used a distinct cinematographic style which used a black-and-white tone to try to tell the true suffering of the Jews of WW2. Which made only a few objects coloured, such as in one scene, the red dress of a small Jewish girl. One must also renember: never say that you have reached the very end!

AI colouring

Using AI to recolour black and white photos. Although it is effective, it will not yet be able to replace professional colourization. It is not accurate due to how AI looks at various old pictures and gives an ambiguous response to an ambiguous question. Examples of programs that do this are, DeOldify, DeepAI, and Algorithmia.

kintsugi

It translates to in English as "Golden Joinery", it is a Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. There are two styles of this artform, the crack and the joint call style, one tries to only repair the crack and create beautiful cracks of gold, and the latter uses fragments from a larger object to repair the smaller one. The materials used in the process are urushi, wheat flour, and a furo (bath). It takes an approximate time of about 2 weeks for this to mend and repair. The significance is also seen in music albums and lyrics, as well as a Pokemon (Sinistcha) based on the technique.

Sinistcha

A Pokemon was inspired by the Kintsugi method in terms of how it looks and the characteristics behind it.

Yobitsugi

A kintsugi technique, in which if you don't have all the pieces needed, you can attach other pieces to fill the gaps.

It's even a good luck talisman in the Mino region in Japan.

Mono-Ha

A Japanese art group that is known for juxtaposing natural and industrial materials. It translates to "the School of Things". The group gained more recognition following its emergence in the late 1960s. Despite never forming a formal association, artists of this movement were joined by a shared commitment to a refusal of "making", or what Lee Ufan explains as a desire to present the world as it is, without undue interference on the part of the artist or from the viewers' expectations concerning the artist's capacity for creation.

Mika Yoshitake

Assistant curator at the Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, he was one of the first leaders of the "mono-ha" movement in Japan which created more concrete and dark art works.

Nobuo Sekine

He completed the Graduate Program at Tama Art University and created works specifically challenging the relation between the visual sensation and cognition of artworks.

Phase—Mother Earth

A piece by Nobuo Sekine in 1968 is cited as the trigger for the formation of the Mono-ha movement in Kobe. It depicts a cylindrical 2.7-metre deep 2.2-metre in diameter hole dug into the ground and a nearby concrete powder and dirt structure of the same shape and size. It was created with the intention linked to the Oriental philosophy that the amount of Mother Earth does not change even if it is uneven. It was planned as an experiment of thought, in which an "inverted earth" or anti-earth would form. This was recreated in 2008, and now without shovels but actual cranes and such to remember the 40th anniversary of such an occasion. (funny thing this would been created during toc of 2008, as it was created on November 1-9th!)

Condorito (lit. "Little Condor")

A comic character created in Chile, which serves as its national mascot/character was created by the Chilean cartoonist Rene Rios in 1949, to respond to the Disney (propaganda) film Saludos Amigos. The character serves as an epithet for the nation, with its gritty and very absurdist comedy being a part of how Rios tried to make it into the symbol of Chile. So you see, [] has a very uh, attractive in a sense girlfriend named Yayita who has very bombastic and large(r than life) parents, who act as crazy as my aunt and uncle. Many of the jokes in the Comic are extremely niche, relating to the cartoonist's personal experiences, such as when a

paleoart

any original artistic work that attempts to depict prehistoric life according to the scientific evidence, but this could use without any scientific evidence and make a mockery of history and everything from way back then.

New Moscow

An oil painting by Yuriy Pimenov in 1937, the year Stalin's Great Terror was at its peak. The perspective is from the back of a convertible and the buildings are in the distance with a golden haze. The young woman driving is symbolic of the renewal of society through this new city.

Model room at the Crystal Palace

An 1853 engraving by the philosopher and illustrator, Philip Henry Delamtte, showing dinosaurs at the [], which were crafted by the skilled hands of the British naturalist and sculptor Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, who made 33 beasts over two years. This was the year when the first dinosaurs were proposed by Sir Charles Darwin. This engraving showed a giant T-Rex (without feathers) and various other questionable animals.

The Primitive World

This is a painting by Adolphe François Pannemaker in 1857, for the earliest 'paleoartists', fossil bones were blank slates upon which they could project their imaginations. Pannemaker, like many artists of his time, inserted biblical and mythological imagery into his art; here, prehistory appears as an apocalyptic war zone, replete with fire, lightning, and an erupting volcano.

Philip Henry Delamtte

British naturalist and illustrator who worked on many early works of the Industrial Revolution was noted for his curiosity and the act of photographing and cataloging the Crystal Palace.

Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins

Helped the public begin to become aware of these strange beasts. He produced the first reconstructions of dinosaurs, including life-size sculptures.

Charles R Knight

Was one of the foremost American paleoartists, and created Laelaps was profoundly influential for its remarkably credible depiction of anatomy and movement

Inostrancevia, devouring a Pareiasaurus

This is a painting by Alexei Petrovich Bystrow, 1933. These two species cropped up regularly in Soviet-era paleoart. Konstantin Konstantinovich Flyorov, who painted the same beasts early in his career, despised Bystrow's interpretation, calling the rival artist 'colour blind'.

Mammoth (Elephas primigenius)

This is one of the most influential works of Paleoart describing not the dinosaur age, but the age before us, as it depicts a mammoth in the dark Siberian tundra. It was created in 1941 by the Czech Artist Zdeněk Burian.

Zdeněk Burian

From the age of 17, Czech artist [] had hundreds of illustrated adventure stories, among them Kidnapped, The Jungle Book and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. He began taking frequent camping trips to immerse himself in the natural world and in 1935, met paleontologist Josef Augusta, who recognized []'s talent and imagination. []s' would go on to illustrate many of Augusta's books on prehistory, rendering extinct animals with creative flair.

Tarbosaurus and armoured dinosaur

This is a description of Dinosaurs which was created by a scientist, Konstantin Konstantinovich Flyorov, circa 1955, yet disregards the scientific evidence for the bright colours and artistic detail. He created his monsters by actually mixing random animals and fossils to create gods!

Tyrannosaurus and Edmontosaurus

One of the few women to work in the field, Canadian artist Ely Kish's subjects were often set in extreme weather conditions. Created in 1976, with Kish working from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, Kish was active at a time when scientists first recognized and publicized global climate change. She painted numerous scenes of the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs, imbuing her images of the prehistoric apocalypse with modern-day anxiety. This is a painting which uses two mad dinosaurs in the apocalypse eating each other in glory.

Stewardess

Created in 1973, this is a sequel to the painting "New Moscow" by Yuriy Pimenov, which develops the plot of the original painting by a LOT.

Condorito: The Movie

An (adult animated) 2017, movie depicting the famous Chilean comic character, [] in CGI. Which was critized for having no Chileans in the whole cast or the production staff, which talked about Mexican Ziggurats instead of Chilean stuff, and was produced by a Peruvian company. Destroying every notion of goodness.

Marcel Duchamp

He was a French painter, sculptor, chess player, and writer whose work is associated with Cubism, Dada, and conceptual art. His work defined the 20th century, with his style of the "readymade" being one that's fit for any century. He used normal objects, signed them, and made them into art! His whole stick was like that, with his masterpiece "fountain" being a literal urinal (now lost) with his name signed.

Fountain (1917)

One of the first readymades is a sculpture by Marcel Duchamp in 1917, consisting of a porcelain urinal signed "R. Mutt". In April 1917, an ordinary piece of plumbing chosen by Duchamp was submitted for the inaugural exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists, to be staged at the Grand Central Palace in New York. It is now lost, and the ones in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art are a recreation made by Duchamp in 1962. Yet, this thing was possibly stolen from the German Artist

readymade

An object made for another purpose, but displayed by an artist as art (bicycle wheel, urinal, hat rack).

Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven
