🎨🔍Ever wondered about a painting's health before buying it, or how museums keep their art in top shape? That's where a condition report comes in! 📜 ✨ It's like a medical report for art, created by a specialist conservator. This report details the artwork's physical condition, often including photos. You'll see them before auctions, private sales, exhibitions, or even when art is transported. The report includes the overall condition (cracks, fading, repairs), materials used (paint, canvas), and any past restorations. Why's it important? Transparency for buyers and viewers, protection for the artwork itself, and even its value – a well-maintained piece is worth more! So next time you see art, remember the silent story its condition report tells! So next time you see art, remember the silent story its condition report tells! 🎨🔍

Thank you Akshita for reading my article on the blank canvas! Love this take away: "Art can turn your sadness into music. Art can turn your love into a painting. Art can turn your celebration into a dance. Simply put, art can make your mundane life look beautiful and give your regular thoughts a new perspective (that’s how I like to see it). " Link to my original article: https://lnkd.in/eNqWufPD

ART UNLOCkED Expressionism, sculpture, video: the art world is so vast and varied it can be difficult to know where to start, even with its biggest names. Our writers suggest the one piece that can help you understand masters old and new.

I always thought going to art galleries, collecting art pieces, and preserving art was a concept meant for rich people or foreigners. 🎨 But I was wrong. Art can turn your sadness into music. Art can turn your love into a painting. Art can turn your celebration into a dance. Simply put, art can make your mundane life look beautiful and give your regular thoughts a new perspective (that’s how I like to see it). But what do you call art? Can anything be art? Even a blank canvas? As I started reading about this, I learned about : ➡️ "Invisible Art" by Yves Klein. ➡️This conceptual artwork, created in 1958, consisted of an empty gallery space ➡️The viewers were invited to experience the "immaterial" or "invisible" artwork. ♦️Imagine walking into a room and seeing...nothing. I used to think I might not be the audience for such "art," but then I read an article by art curator Sally Jane Brown (formerly Deskins) who shared a similar sentiment in her LinkedIn article. She pondered, "I have to wonder what sort of impact this had—was it just the usual art-educated audience that viewed the ‘work’ like the emperor’s new clothes? Or were there people that learned something about space and the definitions of creativity?" Could this be a masterclass in minimalism, or does it leave you scratching your head? Let's discuss!

Illustration * Face * 001 Cambra Costa's work, titled "Face * 001", presents a black and white illustration of a face with strong and expressive features. The technique used suggests a gestural style, with marked lines and shading that give depth and intensity to the image. The expression on the portrayed face conveys a sense of introspection and emotion. The exhibition context in a modern gallery with targeted lighting further highlights the strength of the work, creating a significant visual impact. The choice of a minimalist background helps to focus the viewer's attention on the portrait, allowing a detailed appreciation of the artist's strokes and technique. Overall, it is a thought-provoking piece that captures the complexity of human expressions, demonstrating technical skill and a clear artistic vision. #CCGROUP #BeautifulEnterprise #since2020 #cca #cambracostaartwork #cambracosta #art #new

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐭 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲? Art influences society by changing opinions, instilling values and translating experiences across space and time. Research has shown art affects the fundamental sense of self. Painting, sculpture, literature and the other arts are often considered to be the repository of a society’s collective memory. Art preserves what fact-based historical records cannot: how it felt to exist in a particular place at a particular time. Art in this sense is communication; it allows people from different cultures and different times to communicate with each other via images, sounds and stories. Art is often a vehicle for social change. It can give voice to the politically or socially disenfranchised. A film or novel can rouse emotions in those who encounter it, inspiring them to rally for change. #art #artoftheday #artwork #drawings #artist #photography #artistic #linkedin
