5 common traits of successful artist
Successful Artists:
- Art is the core of their lives. These artists wake up and go to sleep thinking about art. They carve out time in their day making art or marketing it. (In fact, for these artists, there seems to be no clear distinction between the creativity of making and marketing.) If they have a full-time job, it is secondary in their minds to art and mostly a means to and end. Their real job is being an artist.
- Successful artists understand how business works in the art world. Successful artists understand the entrepreneurial aspects of making a living as an artist. When they encounter something new or unusual on the business side, they investigate and learn to do it or delegate the task. They know the value of relationships and network in person and through social media.
- Successful artists have a strong work ethic. They manage themselves, their creative energy and resources. They balance the time to produce art and to market it. Whatever rhythm of working they choose, they stick to it. Whether these artists enjoy the business tasks or not, they know they must be done and they do them without complaint or resentment.
- Successful artists are resilient. They know that success does not happen overnight – it requires hard work. These artists understand that things don t always work out the way they expect. When they make mistakes, they focus on solutions, not on regrets. They learn from experience and experiment to improve on any success they have.
- Successful artists spend time only with people who are 100% supportive of their art career. They limit their time and emotional involvement with people who are negative especially about art as a career choice. If people close to them have the skills and inclination to be more directly involved in their art career, the artist can produce more and better. Successful artists do not allow unsupportive people to be an obstacle to their plans for success.
5 MOST FAMOUS ARTIST IN THE WORLD.......
5 most famous artists in the world
Various epochs and different countries gave birth to their
prominent and famous artists. Each of them left their mark in the
history of world culture and art. We cannot name any of them more
ingenious, or better known than the other. They all inspire many people
today. But still there are some names that are immortal, that everyone
should know.
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) – was born in Italy, in the town of Vinci. “Almighty genius” – so people say about people like Leonardo. Painter, sculptor, scientist, architect, military engineer, inventor of machines – he left brilliant works in all areas of human life. He lived his life uneasily and he often wandered. In Florence, he created his first work of art. And in 1517 he settled in the castle of Clos, where he worked for the King of France, and where he died. His paintings are the greatest treasure of mankind. His masterpiece Mona Lisa is the first in our list of 5 famous paintings of the world.
Tiziano Vecellio (1477-1576) – one of the great
masters of the Italian Renaissance. All his long life, Titian painted
paintings glorifying the beauty of the man, his strength and greatness.
It is said that one day, the Emperor Charles V raised the brush that was
dropped by Titian. Doing so, he said, “Titian deserves to be attended
by everyone, even the King!”.
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) – Dutch painter. His
deep religiosity, his sympathy for the outcast, his love for people and
for God are embodied in his masterpieces.’Try to grasp the essence of
what the great artists, the serious masters, say in their masterpieces’,
– he wrote in July 1880, – ‘and you will again find God in them. One
man has written or said it in a book, another in a painting.’ This
psychological condition is manifested in the contrast of colors in his
paintings, in intense brush strokes.
Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) – Italian
painter, sculptor and architect. He created magnificent works of art
sublimating humanity. Such, for example, are the magnificent frescoes
decorating the arches and the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel - “The Creation”, “The Last Judgement”,
and others. And when the enemy came to the hometown of Michelangelo,
Florence, the artist without hesitation joined the ranks of the
defenders, as a military engineer.
Knowledge of the great artists helps us navigate through the history
of art and painting, to get familar with and understand the source of
all art traditions, trends and genres. In addition, their lives and
works inspire us to create our own works, boosts the desire to try
oneself as an artist. Read on here

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) –
Spanish painter and sculptor, he was constantly looking for new ways in
art. He was the author of a special direction in art – cubism. In the
paintings of Picasso, the appearance of people sometimes seems unusual.
But after looking at a picture of the talented artist, we feel what
impressions were experienced by the artist while he was painting his
masterpieces. And we feel the spiritual nature of a man who is depicted
in the picture. Picasso works are world famous. It refers to the Girl on the ball, where a young gymnast is portrayed with love and care. And Guernica, the canvas showing the horror of death of the pieceful town under the bombs. And a wonderful Dove of Peace.

M.F. Hussain lost his mother when he was only one and a half years old. Some time later, his father remarried and moved to the Indore city, where Maqbool completed his schooling. He moved to Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1935 and took admission into Sir J. J. School of Art. MF Hussain started his painting career as a painter of cinema hoardings. It was only in the 1940s that his work started getting some recognition. In the year 1947, he joined the Progressive Artist's Group, which was founded by Francis Newton Souza.
Slowly and gradually, Hussain climbed the ladder of success to become one of the highest paid painters of India. Recently, a single canvas of MF Hussain fetched 2 million dollars at a Christie's auction. Some time back, Hussain started directing and producing movies also. His movies include Gaja Gamini (with Madhuri Dixit) and Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities (with Tabu). His film 'Through the Eyes of a Painter' was shown at the Berlin Film Festival and won a Golden Bear also. The autobiography of M.F. Hussain is being made into a movie, which has been tentatively titled as 'The Making of the Painter'.
Recognition
The first solo exhibition of M.F. Hussein was held at Zurich in the year 1952. Over the next few years, his paintings were widely appreciated in Europe and USA. In 1966, the Government of India awarded him the prestigious Padma Shree. He has also been awarded the Padma Bhushan. The Government of India also appointed Maqbool Fida Hussein to a term in the Rajya Sabha, in recognition of his contribution to art.m
WHAT IS ART?
what is art?
could tell you that art plays a large part in making our lives infinitely rich. Imagine, just for a minute, a world without art! (You may think "So what?" but please consider the impact that lack of graphics would have on your favorite video game.) Art stimulates different parts of our brains to make us laugh or incite us to riot, with a whole gamut of emotions in between. Art gives us a way to be creative and express ourselves. For some people, art is the entire reason they get out of bed in the morning. You could say "Art is something that makes us more thoughtful and well-rounded humans."
On the other hand, art is such a large part of our everyday lives that we may hardly even stop to think about it. Look at the desk or table where you are, right this minute. Someone designed that. It is art. Your shoes are art. Your coffee cup is art. All functional design, well done, is art. So, you could say "Art is something that is both functional and (hopefully) aesthetically pleasing to our eyes."
You might say "Art is in a constant state of change, so nobody can really pin down what it is." The constant change part is true, but the not pinning it down part is going to get you a bad grade. It may even raise a comment or two about your being some sort of wisenheimer. Don't go this route.
You might even say "Art is subjective, and means something different to every single person on earth." This, too, is the truth. I would caution against this approach, however, as it would require a stack of paper from here to the moon to cite all of your 6.8 billion references.
Now, everything just stated has elements of truth, but is largely based on opinion. My opinion is, frankly, useless in your paper-writing endeavor. Form your own opinions (that should be the reason you are receiving an education, after all), and be sure to sprinkle them in your answer ... which needs a factual basis, so here are the cold hard facts:
Art is form and content.
"Art is form and content" means: All art consists of these two things.
Form means:

Form your own opinions (that should be the reason you are receiving an education, after all), and be sure to sprinkle them in your answer ... which needs a factual basis, so here are the cold hard facts:
Art is form and content.
"Art is form and content" means: All art consists of these two things.
Form means:
- The elements of art,
- the principles of design and
- the actual, physical materials that the artist has used.
Form, in this context, is concrete and fairly easily described--no matter which piece of art is under scrutiny.
Suppose you've written: "One half of all art is form. Here is how Goya's The Shootings of May Third, 1808 fits in." You would then go on to provide details about how Goya used color, value, space and line (elements of art). He used balance, contrast, emphasis and proportion (principles of design). He composed the aforementioned elements and principles on canvas, using brushes and oil paints (the physical materials).
The example just given employed a work of Western art, and was written in English. It doesn't take much of a leap in imagination, though, to understand that the concepts behind "form" could be applied to any piece of art, created anywhere on earth, at any time, using any language. With that, we have successfully covered "form."
Content, now, gets a little more tricky. Content is idea-based and means:
- What the artist meant to portray,
- what the artist actually did portray and
- how we react, as individuals, to both the intended and actual messages.
Returning to the Goya example, you might comment on the fact that the shootings were an actual event. Napoleon had invaded Spain, at the time, and subjected it to six years of war and revolution (political and social influences). There had been a revolt by citizens of Madrid, and they were summarily executed (historical context). Goya, obviously, didn't think this was good and recorded the stark horror for all posterity. (He was successful at conveying that which he meant to convey.) We react to the painting in our different ways - usually with mixed feeling of revulsion, anger and sorrow.
Again, we are discussing content using one picture as an example, but the same parameters apply to any piece of art.
That's my best reply, then. The first four paragraphs are applicable - with infinite variations, up to, and including, "The way my girlfriend puts on her eyeshadow is art." Just be sure that your main argument includes "Art is form and content." You can certainly think of some great examples using works of art that you know and/or enjoy. Now. Go get cracking on that paper and, next time, don't wait until the last minute.
thank you
