ARTSOURCE is a project
that started in 1994. As a service to art librarians, Mary Molinaro began
putting together a page that listed art resources that were becoming
available on the WWW. As usage of the WWW exploded it soon became apparent
that a comprehensive site would be highly impractical and she realized that a
selective site would be much more helpful to users. The site has developed
over time to be what it is today. |

GREAT MASTERS |
|
Jean-Michel Basquiat ... SAMO... Jean-Michel was a prodigy who died far too young.
This marvelously expressive soul gave us all something to think about with every
painting he created. |
|
|
Mary Cassatt... bold, smart, driven... a woman ahead of her time who paved
the way for so many artists. |
|
|
Paul Cezanne... father of Modern Art. He was the one who started it all
for 20th Century painters! |
|
|
Paul Gauguin... mystic savage painter of Tahitian
visions... he was a colourist extraordinaire. |
|
|
Henri Matisse... the original Fauve (the wild beast). "I always knew there was a Fauve in
me; and Matisse only helped to bring out the vibrant colours." |
|
|
Peter Max... What an incredibly gifted artist, not to mention, a humble
and giving man, very much into using his art to help others! Remember the art
of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine? |
|
|
Claude Monet... the great master of Impressionism. |
|
|
Pablo Picasso... genius of 20th Century modern art. |
|
|
Pierre-August Renoir... Impressionist extraordinaire! |
|
|
Vincent van Gogh... mystic, prophet and visionary painter of golden azure...
need I say more? |
|
|
Andy Warhol... observer of life - Warhol was the consummate artist - constantly observing life
around him, all the people, moods, movies, fashion, events... creating works
of art out of every minute of his life... and loving every minute of it... so
much more than 15 minutes. |

OTHER WONDERFUL ARTISTS |
|
§
ELIZABETH BARON ... Elizabeth Baron has been an accomplished oil painter for 40
years. Her career as a world-renowned spiritual counselor over the
years has greatly affected her painting. Elizabeth studied privately for four
years under Pierre Serre, a painter from Paris. As an Old Master
realist, he taught her to strive for realism and sensitivity in her
paintings. "Always paint something that will touch another's
heart," he told his students. She also studied under Lester Chase,
one of the Vanderbilt's family portrait painters. Elizabeth paints people connected with social issues and strives
to include her beloved adopted surroundings (Charleston, South Carolina) in
her paintings. She was born in Bristol, TN, spent her childhood in Oak
Ridge, TN and lived as an adult in Chicago and now resides in Charleston. §
ROMARE BEARDEN ... His life and art are marked by
exceptional talent, encompassing a broad range of intellectual and scholarly
interests, including music, performing arts, history, literature and world
art. Bearden was also a celebrated humanist, as demonstrated by his lifelong
support of young, emerging artists. §
JOHN BRATBY
... English painter, writer, teacher. §
EGYPTIAN ART
... a terrific site
with a sense of humour. §
FRIDA KAHLO
... Great Mexican painter whose life was marked
by physical suffering. Thus many of
her paintings were made in bed. The love
and torture of her life was Diego Rivera. §
CHRISTIANE KUBRICK ... She was born in Germany in 1932, met and married film director
Stanley Kubrick in 1958; and the Kubrick family moved to England in
the 1960s where Christiane continued to paint and exhibit. She studied art in California and New
York. You'll recognize some of her
original paintings, which are incredibly expressive, in the film, "Eyes
Wide Shut." §
JACOB LAWRENCE ... Over a sixty-five year career, Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) was an
impassioned observer and storyteller whose art documented both the African
American experience as well as the larger human struggle for freedom and
social justice. In his gouache and tempera compositions, he encapsulated the
life around him: the joy, the suffering, the weakness, and the strength of
the people he saw every day. §
FANCH LEDAN ... Francois "Fanch" Ledan (b.
1949) is noted for delightful scenes of his native Brittany in a colorful
"primitive" style. In 1968 he abandoned his studies in commercial
design for full-time studies in painting and fine art. His talent was quickly
recognized and soon he was involved in major European shows. He became
involved in printmaking in 1973 when he learned lithography in Paris. Since
then he has had more than 25 one-person shows in Europe, North America and
South America. §
ERIC MARETTE ... Eric lives where Monet used to create
his wonderful paintings. Eric is a
young painter with a unique style of his own - gorgeous work, and quite
captivating! §
FRANCIS PARAISON ... I once met this young up-and-coming Haitian artist
on the streets of Manhattan. His art
is gorgeous, enchanting and fun.
You'll love his style and how it appeals to people of all ages. He told me, "I paint my land, my
country, as I see it." And what
a point of view he has!! §
MARTIROS
SARYAN ... "Life
is an island. People come out of the sea, cross the island, and return to the
sea. But this short life is long and beautiful. In getting to know nature man
exalts the wonder and beauty of life" §
ITZCHAK TARKAY ... Tarkay was born in 1935 in Subotica on the
Yugoslav Hungarian border. When he was only nine years old, the Nazis sent
Tarkay to Mathausen concentration camp. After the war, he returned home and
developed an interest in art. While still at school in Subotica, he won a
prize for excellence in painting. In 1949 he and his family immigrated to
Israel and were sent to a transit camp for new arrivals at Beer Ya'akov.
Their next two years were spent in a Kibbutz. In 1951, Tarkay received a
scholarship to the Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem, where he studied for a
year before having to leave due to difficult financial circumstances at home.
In order to continue his scholarship, he was allowed to study under the
artist Schwartzman until his mobilization to the Israeli army. After
returning to the familiar environment of Tel Aviv, Tarkay enrolled in the
Avni Institute of Art, which he graduated in 1956. His teachers there were
Mokady, Janko, Schtreichman and Sematsky. Tarkay has since exhibited
extensively both in Israel and abroad, and his works can be found in many
public and private collections. §
TOBI ZAUSNER ... Tobi has an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Art and Psychology and is also an
award-winning painter and a printmaker. She is represented in private
collections worldwide and has exhibited work in the Denver Museum, the
Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Fleischer Memorial, the Grey Art Gallery, the
