Art Renewal Center

Hi everyone,

Today i'm going to write about a web site that i really like and is related with my career, this web site calls "Art Renewal Center" and it is a source of information about realistic occidental art, or more than that, it's an initiative that support the development of realistic art on the current days.

As you could imagine, the current art isn't realistic or figurative, or it doesn't try to be that way (to please everyone who could differ with what i said), so this web site promote the kind of artists who likes the old way to work and critics who likes too. For me, an attitude like that is a little conservative and old-fashioned, I preffer to be more open-minded with current expressions, but i'm feel a bit of conservative (well, that's another point).

I knew the web site when i was clasifying images about nineteenth century (Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Impressionism and other styles), i liked it because it was a source of images so large and good-quatilty like i never seen before. It had Hi-Fi resolution reproductions about David (my favourite), Ingres, Gros, etc and later, when i was looking arround the site i saw that it has critical articles about art, contests about realistic painting and sculpture, and -the most impresive - a scolarship for the contestants; i found that very important, because the intiative could be futile if they not support (i mean really support) those artist (who are in a enviroment that doesn't support the old-fashioned style and their speech against the abstract art and other medias).

So, with all that number of reproductions i've visit it (the web site) usually, when i want to see some pictures to learn more about different artists, just click here and enjoy the art.

I've write enough so, i leave you guys.

See you later.
