El Arte de Robert Liberace

DRAWING THE FIGURE IN MOTION WITH ROBERT LIBERACE

Robert Liberace is equally accomplished in drawing, painting, and sculpture. His work is inspired by the centuries of knowledge, skill, and elegance of the old masters. He works in a variety of mediums including pencil, chalk, pen and ink, watercolor, and oil. Rob has been selected to be an honorary member of the America China Oil Painting Artists League.


FIGURES Rob is perhaps best known for his classic and distinctive style of figure drawing and painting. American Artist magazine highlighted Rob's drawing techniques as the cover feature in their May 2002 annual drawing issue and American Art Collector magazine published an article on his figure painting in their March 2010 issue. Three of Rob's drawings were selected to be displayed in New York's prestigious Arnot Museum of Art.

La Tecnica del Pastel

El pastel es un medio pictórico que ha resultado atractivo a infinidad de artistas, tanto por la luminosidad e intensidad del color, debida a la gran proporción de pigmento que las barras contienen, como por la sencillez de su manejo, puesto que no requiere paleta, pinceles ni sustancias diluyentes.


El hecho de que el pastel sea una técnica seca proporciona al pintor la ventaja de la rapidez, ya que no se ve obligado a esperar a que la pintura se seque para aplicar nuevas capas encima. Esta pintura, además, encierra una interesante versatilidad que permite pintar con finas líneas superpuestas, hacer veladuras y también trabajar con empaste y colores saturados.

Paintings looted by Nazis return to Poland

 "President Bronislaw Komorowski of Poland accepted the paintings -- "The Hunt" and "Off to the Hunt" -- at Poland's consulate in Manhattan. U.S. officials had seized the works of art last year from two New York auction houses.


"The two World Wars that we experienced and numerous uprisings ... left Poland's national heritage really impoverished," said Bogdan Zdrojewski, Poland's culture minister. "That is why every object that returns to our country has huge value that is both spiritual and emotional."



Polish artist Julian Falat painted the works, “The Hunt” and “Off to the Hunt” in the late 1800s. They were among the prize works at the Polish museum that were confiscated in August 1944 when the German S.S. took over the museum and removed its most valuable treasures.


The location of the two paintings remained unknown until 2006 when Polish government authorities discovered they were up for sale at two auction houses in New York City. 


It took a federal court case to win forfeiture of the paintings as stolen property so they could be returned to Poland. They are currently valued at $50,000 apiece, according to U.S. authorities who were involved in returning the property.

El arte del Espacio y la forma

Aquello que importa en esta nueva manera de pintar es el concepto, no la percepción. Por esto, las figuras se despersonalizan, se deforman, y el espacio también. Ya no hay perspectiva, el fondo es completamente plano y fragmentado, los colores no se corresponden con la realidad (como se observa en los cuerpos). 


Picasso decía que se debe representar aquello que se sabe de las figuras, no aquello que se ve. La descomposición y esquematización de los cuerpos y del espacio que los rodea se debe principalmente a un deseo de expresar la idea última que hay en ellos. 


De esta manera, Picasso, muy influenciado por el post impresionista Cézanne, sintetiza la realidad en estructuras geométricas; la anécdota no se representa, puesto que ocultaría la esencia de aquello representado."
