Artists
Books & Paintings
The practical idea to elaborate on this specific group of guys as artists originated from a previous plan outlined in my book, OK2BG with a suggestion that someone could donate a box of 25 books every week for 52 weeks on a particular subject each week (with this group of books pertaining to Artists), primarily to secondary schools & libraries, to provide more biographical resources which might help bewildered kids at-risk & puzzled young adults discover some hidden talent, or encourage an already obvious talent, perhaps for art & also to inspire them with a potential role model in the diverse world of art.
-
Altogether, these 63 men listed here as artists are from 14 countries & 14 U.S. States with 377 'works of art' together with more than 300 books (including a variety of Exhibition Catalogs), spanning 500 years, from the 15th Century to the 20th Century.
-
These artists use several different media; for example, oil paintings, watercolors, drawings & sketches in pencil, charcoal or ink & also incorporate collage or assemblage (excluding photography, which I've set aside as a separate group).
-
These 63 artists with a single, sample 'work of art' together with a book can also be viewed in my video.....Jack's Virtual Museum posted on YouTube & the associated blog is posted on this website on the front-page/Blog under...Jack Wants 2 Recycle Everything!
Click on the photo of each artist below to view several 'works of art' together with additional books (arbitrarily posted side-by-side to each 'work of art') describing some portion of the artist's life or their art, in either Memoir, Biography, Autobiography & Anthology format, or an Exhibition Catalog.
