Old Art

In the 17th century thousands of still-life paintings, including canvas, copper, panels, etc. were produced, all of them were carefully drawn and enthusiastically purchased. In the summer of this year, a famous National Museum in Amsterdam will host a wonderful exhibition showing the best example of the still life of the Netherlands from 1550 to 1720. About 70 main paintings are exhibited in Amsterdam from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre Museum and other museums. Paris, Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, National museet in Copenhagen, and Metropolitan Museum of Fresno.

The Chicago Art Museum (founded in 1879): "Van Gogh's Bedroom" "Watching Old Pictures of Walls" is always a traditional museum. Although it is outdated, the Chicago Art Museum is never traditional, especially when they use immersive marketing experiences created by Leo Burnett. For the exhibition of Van Gogh, we took a picture of one of his famous bedroom paintings and reproduced it in a real bedroom until a brush on his bedside table. But the real genius is to keep people at "painting" through AirBnB. "Van Gogh's bedroom" quickly became sold out, public relations activities and online ticket sales increased by 250% - this is the highest attendance rate in the 15 years exhibition.

Affected by Van Gogh's mad color and interest in graphics of Japanese woodcut prints, Gauguin's work quickly became a new personal way different from his old teacher Pizarro. Gauguin was influenced strongly by seeing the art of Van Gogh, the two men had a strong creative connection and lived together for two months until Van Gogh got crazy and cut off his ear. But what did Gauguin learn to change his thoughts and customs? What did he get in 1888? This is a new, deep belief that his art should be decisive in terms of line and color. It is no longer ambiguity of Rainbow Impressionism. There is no problem anymore. Please be concerned about lines and colors. Just submit. Gauguin's style was completely changed from 1887 to 1888, and the appearance of a new art that has never existed has been discovered.

As new artwork is a new frame, it may be necessary to make all old art look good. If you find a work of art you like, be afraid of how old you are, do not be afraid to show it proudly. But if you find something that you may know but definitely need something to help, try some of these techniques and create a new one. Have you tried one or more of them? I'm glad to see your results.
