Not only do we see how artists want to be remembered, but also how they are able to project themselves into the world through their technical abilities and through The Artists Eyes artistic gifts. The viewing of a self-portrait is an intimate meeting of gazes of the artist and viewer, The Artists Eyes in time and place. It is qualitatively different from looking at any photograph of the same artist, created in less than a second. Their works range from the more classical or formal to the more naturalistic or realistic. Some works show more overt abstraction, or reveal the painting process. Eleventh Street Arts gallery is special in that its exhibitions are curated by artists who select works based more on artistic merit than on commercial incentives. The reason for curating an exhibit of these artists, Barry admitted, was initially selfish. Many painters, especially in the 18th and early 19th centuries, would donate their self-portrait to the Uffizi Gallery Museum in Florence to be displayed in the Vasari Corridor. They saw it as a way to secure The Artists Eyes reputations and worldly success, placing them in a line of painters reaching back to Raphael, Hall wrote. It is also a way for them to further forge their identities for posterity. Some of their techniques for representing themselves can be traced back to artistic practices of the Renaissance. To this day, people still gasp when they look at a Rembrandt self-portrait. His is just a reflection in oil paint. It The Artists Eyes transformative. John, one of the artists in the exhibition. While working on his self-portrait, St. John turned to Rembrandt for inspiration. Edmond The Artists Eyesalso an artist featured in the exhibit, took on an almost cinematic approach to his self-portrait. Placed in the center of a square canvas, he seems to emerge from the darkness, moving straight toward the viewer. The Artists Eyes have an intuitive sense of how the painting ought to be and how it ought not to be. How the artist recreates an internal vision and externalizes it in some way with paint is mysterious to me. The expression in the painting may turn out completely different from what the artist initially had planned. The Artists Eyes can either idealize or deglamorize themselves, but the outcome is always The Artists Eyes telling reflection of how they want to be seen. Although artists usually want a likeness to be recognized in their self-portrait, Barry feels that is not the primary goal. You are not percent of the time in control, and I like that.

Marmor and James G. Ravin take this remark as their text for an investigation into artists' vision - think Specsavers, not clouds of glory or Christ on the cross - as understood by the optician, or perhaps the clinician. The Artist's Eyes concerns itself with exactly that. It is a primer on how the eye sees, the difficulties it encounters and the available remedies, in a highly selected subject group. The fascination of these subjects derives precisely from their ocular influence. Not The Artists Eyes do artists live and die by the eye: they teach the rest of us to see. Cezanne had a quip for this too. It is Monet who discovered that. It is presented as a compendium of capsule case histories, dressed up as a lavishly illustrated coffee-table book. The illustrations are well chosen, though ironically the colour values are not always what they might be. The Artists Eyes text is properly cautious about diagnoses or inferences on the basis of fragmentary evidence, which is often all we have. As ophthalmologists, Marmor and Ravin are professionally averse to presumption. Their own contextualisation and explanation is plain and straightforward, sometimes to the point of blandness. Though some critics have admired the work of this period, others have deemed it crude or repetitive. Citing other studies of The Artists Eyes sort, Patrick Trevor-Roper's The World through Blunted Sightfor example, is not much help to readers who wish to trace the source of a quotation from the artists themselves. The case studies are widely gathered - perhaps too widely - from Rembrandt to Chuck Close. Inat the age of 78, Monet described his troubles of the preceding few years: "I no longer perceived colours with the The Artists Eyes intensity, I no longer painted light with the same accuracy. Reds appeared muddy to me, pinks insipid, and the intermediate or lower tones escaped me. As for forms, they always appeared clear and I rendered them with the same decision. At first I tried to be stubborn. How many times Wasted efforts. What I painted was more and The Artists Eyes dark, The Artists Eyes and more like an 'old picture', and when the attempt was over I compared it to former works, I would be seized by a frantic rage and slash all my canvases with my penknife. Monet had bilateral cataracts. To be more precise, he had dense, yellow-brown nuclear cataracts. This resulted in blurred vision and a severe loss of colour perception blurring the distinction between blue and green, for example. Degas had a chronic and progressive retinal disease. To close friends he confessed what a torment it was to draw when he could only see around the spot at which he was looking, and never the spot itself. Pissarro suffered from recurrent inflammation and infection of the lachrymal system. In these cases, we know a good deal about their condition and The Artists Eyes. The discussion in the book is correspondingly meaty and judicious. In other cases, The Artists Eyes the existing literature is bare, the authors do little more than summarise our ignorance. Perhaps the most intriguing is Cezanne, who was diagnosed with diabetes around the age of 50, and accused of "retinal maladies" at about the same time - a textbook case of the argument for the prosecution or the presumption that defective painting can be explained by defective vision. If only more artists were as defective as Cezanne. Marmor and Ravin are admirably clear sighted; but the retinal focus is too narrow for true illumination. As their expose of Monet serves to demonstrate, the trials and travails of the artist involve both the eye and the mind. In other words, the optical is The Artists Eyes related to the psychological. What is of interest to us, said Picasso, is the drama of the man. The Artists Eyes lies behind the eyes. By Michael F. ISBN Published 1 November Get a month's unlimited access to THE content online.
