List of Ten Things -Ten Personally Influential Artists

@jemsauce tagged me... months ago.  Sorry this took so long -I just really hate essay writing.

This is a short-list of artists I’ve personally been impressed by, and want to emulate in some way.  Have fun.

Greg Manchess- Kentucky native Manchess’ thick alla prima strokes are delicious and distinguishable.  Despite earning his BFA in college, Manchess’ art school experience was disappointing.  His teachers advocate traditional methods of drawing, sculpting, and coloring are dead, and the future is conceptual art (cuz wearing gold and talking to a dead rabbit in a gallery totally pays the bills -this really happened).  After graduation took it upon himself for a proper education.  Manchess’ wide range of interests and intelligence has made him a favorite for many publications.

Nicolai Fechin- Nicolai started painting to help with his father’s carpentry business.  In is teens, Fechin start’s learning art in Russia and Europe, and gains more international recognition from winning competitions.  That was a blessing, for the Fechin family left their country after the Russian Revolution to New York, and Nicolai was able to continue as an artist. Fechin’s style is strange, but what’s rendered keeps the subject within the realm of believably.  Some of his painting methods remain unconventional, such as licking wet paint on a pallet knife to achieve an effect.

Michael Gorban- I personally didn’t care for abstract art -thought it was soulless and cheap- till I discovered Michael Gorban.  His style is very alive and delicious.  Soviet Russia noticed his fabulous talent as well, and Artist’s Association of the Soviet Union gave him a grant for education.  By the time Michael was 30, his artwork was already displayed in the world famous Hermitage museum.

Yoshitaka Amano- At an early age, Yoshitaka studied Pop, Art Nouveau, and Ukiyo-e styles.  Even though Amano never had proper education, Tatsunoko Production (yeah, I had to Google how to spell it) recognized his work ethic and unique style, and hired him as a character designer.  After working for several decades in Tatsunoko, Amano perused a freelance career, clients including Nintendo, DC, Marvel, and Dark Horse.

Nathan Fawkes- A known and liked name in the animation industry, few artists have the work ethnic Fawkes has, and even fewer have a control in color and brush strokes.  In his first movie, Prince of Egypt, Fakes was put in charge creating the color script for a critical scene.  In a conversion, he probably wasn’t supposed to hear, a superior was upset the art director gave such an important task to ‘a nobody’.  Worried for his job, Fawkes painted dozens of different color scripts (maybe hundreds).  No one complained ever again.

Mark Rothko- Because of Jewish persicution, and social unstibility, the Rothko family moved from present-day Latvia to Oregon.  After dropping from Yale, Mark moved to NYC for work.  There, he was first exposed to Avant-garde style.  Mark saw art, and the style, as a mean to express.  Simplistic the end result is, Rothko’s method was complex and kept secretive; only forensic scientific methods have been about to get a glimpse of his process.  He striven for the viewers to have a spiritual experience.

Minerva Teichert- Subjects done for nearly 2000 years can yield a sense of ‘been-there-done-that’.  But Idaho native Teichert takes over-exhausted subjects, recreating them into something new, theatrical, and personal.  Being a wife of a rancher, mother several times over, and living in a small cabin didn’t stop her from creating.  Once the wees are asleep and chores done, Teichert would paint into the night.  She used creative viewing methods, such as backwards binoculars and mirrors, to create large paintings in her kitchen.  (This picture is such a whitewash to the original image, which has rich blues, greens, oranges, and purples)

Bill Sienkiewicz (sn-kev-itch)- Beastly name in the comic book industry, Bill’s mastery of anatomy and color is recognizable.  But while most comic artists stay close to typical illustration methods and mediums, Bill is unafraid to experiment.  At every demo, Bill brings with him an assortment of spray bottles, inks, paints, brushes, pens, etc.  You can play bingo of what he’ll bring.

Wassily Kandinsky- Russian native Kandinsky needs little introduction.  From a rich pedigree, Wassily first perused law and economics education.  However at 30 he set aside the higher education career for his childhood interest: art.  Kandinsky was fascinated by colors, especially the bright colors in folk art, and would paint impressionistic landscapes with bright colors.  His style would change over the decades, perusing and refining his theology and philosophy of art and color.

Sergei Bongart - Ukraine native Bongart studied art all over Europe, and, like Fechin, had Iliya Repin as a teacher. Then Stalin and Third Reich rose into power, and ruined Eurasia (his father was arrested by KGB agents in the middle of the night, and tortured to death).  Bongart moved to America.  There, he was a sought after instructor because of his mastery of the Russian method.  Bongart would teach not to duplicate the subject in the paint, but rather how the subject would look like if it was made from paint.

Those who got axed from the list: James Gurney (he was hard to cut out), Richard Schmidt, Rebecca Guay, Gustave Dore, Klimt Petar Meseldzija, John Singer Sargent (who doesn’t cite him as an influence???), Auguste Rodin, and Hayao Miyazaki.

Anyone who reads this is tagged.  That means you.  Have fun!
