Do not forget to tell friends
Louis Wayne (1860-1939) - a valular English artist. Those are famous for drawing cats. At some point, his spouse is very ill and he is forced to spend the sick spouse in bed all the time. To entertain her, he draws his domestic cat in different fun poses and situations. The more severe schizophrenia and the alienation of the artist from the real world, the stronger the images of cats in his paintings resemble fractals. And before the transition to fractals, cats from charming becoming increasingly becoming evil and disheveled.
Vidio, which is clearly seen as mirries are seized.
In the drawings of the British artist Louis Wayne, so much funny details that, even simply commenting on them, you can compose a story. For example, "game in cricket". I counted 36 characters there: athletes in complete equipment, with cricket bits, viewers in trees or at the tables. The artist captured an unforeseen moment of the game: the ball was pleased with one of the tables, breaking the plate with sandwiches, tilting the sugarist and a custard kettle on the ground. What a trouble! The closer to the epicenter, the stronger the emotions of the characters. Curiosity, confusion, fright, indignation is written on their ... Merchant Mords. The whole honest company, unless to consider someone's dog laughing with a leash, consists of cats.
"Golf game"
In other Wane drawings, too, cats: taking sea baths, waltching, cats-golfists, jockey cats, football hooligans, musicians. As a rule, they are representatives of the wealthy class, which allows them to fit into the last fashion, indulge in secular entertainment, enjoy the opera arias, smoking cigars, drink whiskey.
Wayne's early works are pleasant, but later (they, by the way, are valued much higher) cause contradictory feelings. Still admiring the skill of the artist, suddenly notice that feline muzzles became evil. It is these late drawings that have rushed into the eyes in the fall of the 30th annual exhibition "Cat" art in the gallery of Chris Beatles. They got to the specializing in the works of Louis Wayne London Garysta after the rich psychiatrist from Dublin passed away.
There is nothing surprising in the fact that psychiatrists are interested in the work of Wayne. Wane's cat doctors have a scientific value. They show how schizophrenia changes the personality of the artist.
The firstborn with a hare Lip, Luis was born in the family of a textile merchant in 1860. Parents later gave the boy to school, instead of classes he preferred to wander through the London streets. Odnoklassniki teased him. In his youth to hide your drawback, Louis reflected the mustache, and soon there was a woman who appreciated his external and internal appeal. Emily was a governess of Sisters Luis and was 10 years older than his beloved. The young got married in 1884, although the family of the young man did not approve of his choice. By the time the Father was no longer alive, and Louis had to take responsibility not only for his wife, but for the mother and five sisters. He began to earn, drawing for scene magazines from rural life.
Then Emily discovered breast cancer. To entertain the sick wife, Louis painted their black and white cat Peter: Peter was wore glasses, as a person read the book. These "stupid" sketches and became the beginning of the famous cat epic. Dying Emily managed to rejoice for her husband. Success quickly came to him: the first pictures with fun on the ball cats, published in the Christmas release of The Illustrated London News, liked both adults and children. Edwardian society was delighted.
In 1890, Wayne produced almost 600 drawings annually. They were published in newspapers, magazines, children's publications, on postcards. His first cats were still similar to the representatives of the animal world, but very soon he forced them to walk on the hind legs, to grimace and gesticulate. The artist used an outline for drawings made during people's observations, it was difficult to find a sphere of activity or the situation in which he would not involve his anthropomorphic purr.
Fashion on cats overwhelmed the country. Never before they were not so loved by the British. Moreover, Wayne did not just chase these animals, he became their patron and twice he was elected chairman of the National Club of cat lovers. His "winking cat" and coat of arms with three pussies are still the emblems of the Club.
Material success, a pleasant consequence of popularity, gave Wayne the opportunity to provide relatives (the widowed artist lived under one roof with his mother and sisters). But the First World War canceled the European fashion on pussy. The interests of Americans showed interest, so he sent a large batch of ceramic "cubist" cats in the United States. The idea went to the bottom in the literal sense: the ship with the cargo was saved by the Germans.
There was less money, because the savings of Wayne did not take care. He has been given his work before or sold for a scentual, without thinking about copyright. Meanwhile, the sister, none of which never married, needed support. A gentle brother worried about them and at the same time he suspected that they rob him. There is a damn, behind which strange ideas turn into dangerous mania. Louis finally crossed it in 1924, attached to one of the sisters.
Those who sees today in Wayne only "Casual crazy" are called the possible cause of his madness of trichinelles, whose carriers can be cats. And specialists who do not exclude the connection between trichinellosis and schizophrenia help this version. Many appear temptation to give the tragedy of the artist dramatic, almost theatrical completion. They write as if he was damaged due to the fact that Louis hit his head very much, dropping out of the bus. Allegedly the driver turned sharply the steering wheel, trying not to crush the kitty on the road. Wayne suffered because of the beings who adored all his life.
In the detailed version of the biography, it is reported that the artist was distinguished by the oddities even in his youth (he wondered by the Eccentric) and that the Wayn family had a predisposition to mental disorders (one of the artist's sisters was prevented at a young age). Louis also locked in a madhouse. He would die in that horrible poor fellow for the poor, if it would not fate in the appearance of a word-taking visitor: "You draw in Wayne's manner!" - "I am Wayne ..." In the campaign to save the artist, all those who loved his work, Prime Minister of Great Britain and the Royal Family were involved.
Herbert Wells, urging collecting money for Wayne, emphasized that three generations of the British rose in the artist's drawings. It was difficult to find children's nursery in the country, where his reproductions would not hang on the walls. "He invented his own variety of cats, who had their own style, society, a whole feline world," said the writer. "After Wayne, all English cats feel ashamed that they do not look like his characters."
The artist was transferred to the comfortable hospital, where he had a separate room. There he lived to death in 1939. The short film of the 30s has been preserved, where a decently dressed gentleman strokes the cat, then draws a round face on a large sheet of paper, resembling Cheshire cat from Alice.
Cats and cats are incredibly graceful and beautiful animals, so they draw their one solid pleasure. For novice artists who recently began to master the schedule, master classes are suitable how to draw a cat with a pencil in stages.
The creation of such cats does not require skills, talent or artistic taste. If the child asks to draw a cat, and time in the edge, then you can limit the funny images.
Sleeping kitten
Such a sleeping miracle can easily draw each. Everything that will need is a sheet A4, soft and solid pencils, eraser, a little patience and perfection.
Step 1: Draw a sleeping cat starting from my head. For this, a solid pencil draw a circle and labeled thin auxiliary lines. Vertical divides the muzzle clearly in half, and the horizontal passes so that the upper part accounted for more than half of the circle.
Stage 2: Focusing on the auxiliary lines, marked at the first stage, outlining the kitten's eyes, nose and mouth.
Stage 3: Place the soft pencil of the head of the head. Draw ears sticking the fur, and funny "VIKHER".
Stage 4: We draw the animal torso and draw the tail. Please note that the kitten curled into the ball, so the tail closes the part of the muzzle.
Stage 5: In the last step, paws and mustache are drawn. Carefully erase excess lines and marking. Kitten is ready. If desired, it can be painted with paints or colored pencils, or leave as it is.
Kitten-mischief
This squirrel kid will like any child. Start drawing a mischievous kitten from head. We draw a circle, add triangular ears and draw a face. Then follows the drawing of the body and the paw. Play with the emotions of the kitten and show your child that the mood of a cat shown in the figure depends on small parts. Surprise can be conveyed with the help of wide eye; The protruding language will add mischiefs, and a little shocking towards pupils, you can make a pensive or sad cat.
Kitten from circles
Such a picture of a cat circles with a pencil can even perform a child, since it is one of the easiest ways for beginners. An animal is drawn from the back, so there is no need to draw features and observe the proportions.
First, two circumference is drawn on the sheet so that they are a little crossed with each other. In this case, the diameter of the lower should be about twice the top. Then the ears are drawn to the upper part, and to the bottom - the tail. Then the mustache is drawn and the wool is arbitrarily placed.
Once a circle, two circle
Another visual example of how easily and quickly draw a cat with a pencil.
The first is drawn more than more, and then inside it is drawn another, small circle. We add ears, the features of the "face" and the tail. A funny sleep kitten will have to do with children and will be able to quickly distract the child and raise him the mood.
Such a sketch is something average between simple schematic images and realistic animal patterns.
We note the contour of the animal with thin auxiliary lines made by the solid chiffel. The sketch of the head looks in the form of an octagon, ears - triangles, torso - a rectangle or cylinder. After that make marking for the paw.
We carry out a horizontal line in the center of the head, denoting the eye level in this way. Draw sketches of the mouth and nose, round eyes. Draw a chin, mustache.
Clever refer to the muzzle. Draw an eye, nose, mustache and cheeks in detail. Soft pencil draw a pork on the ears, on the head and face. Then draw the front paws with claws and pads, detail the rear.
At the final stage, all the auxiliary lines are gently erased. Comes queue for fur drawing. For these purposes, it is best suited by a 2M (or 2B) stylist, but in principle you can use any soft.
Realistic
Many it seems that realistic portraits of pets are not the most simple task for beginners, but in fact not all sketches are complex. You can see this, on the example of step-by-step instructions for the portrait of the Scottish Fold.
Draw the Scottish Fold Cat Pencil
Scottish Fold loved by many breeders for the temper and charming appearance. Thanks to the distinctive features of the breed - bent forward and down the ears, these cats look so cute that it is impossible to resist not to ride such a whip. We offer a simple phased lesson for beginners How to draw a British cat with a pencil in stages.
At the first stage, the solid pencil outlines auxiliary lines: 1 vertical and 2 horizontal. The vertical shows the muzzle center, so it must be shown a little to the right relative to the center of the page, as the cat sits a little turning.
Horizontal should be parallel to each other, because they indicate the size of the animal's eye. After that, you need to proceed to the drawing of the contour of the muzzle and eyes.
Important! So that the cat was proportional to the distance between the eyes should correspond to the size of the eye.
Drawing a nose, remember that its size should be less (already) distances between the eyes.
Then with a chiffel M or TM donate eyes and nose. More experienced artists confident in their movements, for these purposes, you can use a black handle.
So that the view of the cat was "alive", do not forget to leave inoperate, white places, as in the picture.
At the third stage you will need 2M (or B2) pencil. Gently, smooth lines, cutting down the strokes, dictate places around the pupils. Please note that the color goes from the darkest (around the pupils) to the brief itself. Then the firm blade, in the direction of the nose, the arrows are marked. They show directions for drawing wool.
The softer blade (better use B4 or 4M), focusing on the arrows, draw the most dark wool. Makushka and wool under the ears must be the most dark.
To complete the picture, draw the remaining wool. Cat ready
Attention! The color of the Village depends on the strength of the press.
Artist who painted only cats
10 facts about Henriette Ronner-Book, which cats helped win the love of European monarchs and feed a big family
The artist did not have other teachers except her father
Henrietta Books ( Henriette Ronner-Knip, 1821 - 1909) Born in Amsterdam. Her father Joseph Auguston was an artist, wrote urban species and battle scenes. He began to pass his craft daughter, barely reached six years: the fact is that for five years she has tried to copy his work. By this time, he had already lost sight to this time, so Henriette had not only to learn, but also help him: because of how many paintings he would write and what quality, the income of the family depended.
By the 16 years, Henrietta succeeded so much that he didn't just participated in the exhibition, but also sold his picture there - the picture was in the picture, but the artist will be experimenting with themes and heroes.
None in any Academy of Henrietta never studied.
In her family, all were artists
Mother Pauline Rifer de Course specialized in the image of birds. Henriette aunt Gertruda books (our heroine was named in her honor) wrote lush flower bouquets. And the grandfather in the father's line was also an artist.
At first she preferred to depict dogs
Henrietta Ronner Books was taken for any orders and at one time by its frequent clients were a poor merchants who transported their goods in small carts harvested by dogs. Very rapidly such pictures from Ronner-book became a trend among merchants - and everyone considered his duty to order portraits of their dogs to assistants. Later, wealthy customers were tightened - to know also wanted to portrait their dogs.
In 1876, Ronner Books wrote Favorite Dogs of Queen Netherlands - a talented artist immediately becomes popular with monarchs from other European countries: she is ordered paintings with their favorites Kaiser Germany Wilhelm I, Princess Wales, Duchess Edinburgh ...
Cats entered the life of the artist when she was already in 50
In the 1870s, in decent houses of Maltese Bolon, the cats sweating: now it has become fashionable to keep them. Henrietta Ronner-books and his cats started: all the more, the children grew up (two too became artists), but we wanted to take care of someone. The artist becomes a cat - the next 30 years, until the end of the life she will write only the cats, watching their games, admiring them by the poses and, judging by the paintings, allowing them absolutely everything.
She is an orphan cats
Henrietta Ronner-book cats do not wear clothes and do not go to work. But it is believed to artists from which fashion began on anthroporphism in animalist: animals began to portray similar to people - with complex emotions, characters, a deep meaningful look.
Heroes of feline portraits Henrietta Ronner-books - real personalities.
And it's not only in the eyes, but also in plots and names of paintings
Pattern names Henrietta Ronner-books add it to fluffy heroes of "humanity": it seems that people should act in plots with such names, but no.
Her painting has changed much throughout the creative way
Of course, Henrietta Ronner-book did not take an important place in the history of painting, her name would not find in textbooks - among those who changed the image language, said a new word, invented its own inimitable style. But this does not cancel the fact that she was popular, obviously a talented artist and, even finding his main object, continued to experiment with style. It is enough to compare two pictures of Henrietta Ronner-book to see what path she did. At the very beginning, she writes paintings in the spirit of old Dutch masters: Dark background, smooth, neat strokes. And its latest works are directly impressionism: bright colors, a factory dynamic smear.
Career artist lasted more than 70 years
She lived 87 years old, worked until the last, and, as we know, from 16 years old wrote pictures for sale.
She was active, hardworking, but she was not a feminist
And all because of the quotes. Here, as Philip Hook, the author of the Breakfast of Sotby explains why women's rights do not make Ronner-book icons from Henrietta:
She specialized in the image of cats and kittens, often sailing: playing with balls of wool, turning jugs with milk in the interiors of rich bourgeois living rooms, similar to those in which the admiring buyers of her works lived. Madame Ronner Books never become a feminist icon. The reason is that it too easily found its place in the existing social structure and wrote pictures on the plots, in no way threatening the domination of men.
Her paintings were sold well during life and today there are dozens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars
She was always a cormal. First in the parent family: as soon as the father finally lost his sight, Henrietta performed all orders: landscapes, genre scenes, portraits ... Then she married, he moves with her husband to Brussels, he would give birth to six children - and again will earn money for everyone: no, no , the marriage was happy, but the husband was sick all the time. The benefits of orders have always grabbed: many wanted to see in their living rooms sentimental scenes with animals performed by Ronner-book. Many want now - and pay for them at auctions big money.
