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. §
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. §
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 had! (I heard he passed
away a few years after I'd met him.) §
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 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
