I like Malevich

[Anonymous No.6169045]

I'm looking for a painter, there's a painting he made with a lot of broad strokes of vibrant colours, and a face in the midst of it in the top middle part.
I think it's early 20th century, and i think he was slavic

I really like this but I think the white speck in the bottom left of the circle really weakens it as a whole.

Not much paint on the brush. It's what makes that speckled look.

>care to develop?
i don't know, it makes me think of love, and it's very warm, but with an underlying coldness.
and that makes me think of the color pink for some reason, probably because of the face.

Name: Ignatius convalesces at Loyola
Artist: ??

http://jesuitinstitute.org/Pages/LifeTayler.htm


After his legs were set - badly - the invalid was carried on a stretcher to his native Loyola. For eight months Iñigo languished in bed. At his own insistence his leg was broken twice more by doctors in an attempt to correct a limp which had developed - for how could a cripple win the affections of a high born lady? This treatment brought the patient close to death, but recovery began on the feast of St Peter.

As he lay on his sickbed, Iñigo dreamt of the noble deeds he would undertake, the feats of great daring, the romance of winning the lady he admired. This daydreaming brought respite for a time to the bored convalescent, but it soon left him feeling empty and disillusioned. Then, inspired by the only reading material available – The Lives of the Saints - he dreamt of doing great deeds for God, imitating the great saints like Francis and Dominic and walking barefoot to Jerusalem. These dreams too inspired Iñigo but, unlike the dreams of romantic gallantry, they left him feeling contented and joyful. Slowly he began to realise that joy and contentment came in the following of Christ.

His poor draftsmanship really shows through in his paintings. His figures are so stiff and flat compared to royal academicians that knew what they were doing. pic related

how is this less flat than >>6169788 ?

[Anonymous No.6170563]

The overall tone on all of the clothing is so even that it almost looks like an engraving. The trees in the background don't scale correctly. That one tree in the back is enormous compared to the figure. The background doesn't fade out or lose detail as it goes back. It's almost like one of those Japanese wood prints where there's no perspective and everything's shapey and broken down into flat textures. Worst of all though it doesn't look like the figure can turn probably because Waterhouse has a piss poor understanding of motion. It looks like he made up all of those creases on the drapery up to look good instead of thinking of the movements that lead up to them. His paintings are beautiful but he's not that strong at actual drawing skills.

>The background doesn't fade out or lose detail as it goes back
it definitely does, but why shouldn't it?

[Anonymous No.6170682]

>>6170651
It's distracting. The trees in the back are as black as the trees in the front. In real life they'd get lighter so it looks like they're all on the same level.

[Anonymous No.6170692]

>>6170682
wait what, why would they get lighter?

[Anonymous No.6170718]

>>6170692
Because of atmospheric perspective. There would be more air separating the viewer from the tree the farther back it is.

[Anonymous No.6170792]

>>6170718
is that based on real life?
