Artists
~Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980) ~

~Erik Barton ~
"I thrive on expressing myself through oil landscape paintings on paper and wood that reflect a sense of space, dignity, and privacy. I try to convey a mood and an atmosphere often expressed by the classic masters that create a sense of universal energy flowing from the earth and throughout nature. Figures in my paintings are as ethereal and enigmatic as the energy of life that rests in harmony with nature." [USA]

~Exploring Linear Perspective~
"Linear perspective is a mathematical system for creating the illusion of space and distance on a flat surface. The system originated in Florence, Italy in the early 1400s. The artist and architect Brunelleschi demonstrated its principles, but another architect and writer, Leon Battista Alberti was first to write down rules of linear perspective for artists to follow. Leonardo da Vinci probably learned Alberti's system while serving as an apprentice to the artist Verrocchio in Florence."
