UnMasterclass 19


“Easy to use, informative and fun, it’s an A to Z guide of 500 painters and sculptors from medieval to modern times. It debunks art-historical classifications by throwing together brilliant examples of all periods, schools, visions and techniques. Only here could Michelangelo be considered with Millais, Picasso with Piero della Francesca and Rodchenko with Rodin.”
The Art Book

“Easy to use, informative and fun, it’s a guide of 52 painters from medieval to modern times. It debunks art-historical classifications by throwing together brilliant examples of all periods, schools, visions and techniques. Only here could da Vinci be considered with Millais, Bacon with Lippi and Malevich with Fantin-Latour.”
UnMasterclass

Many of the paintings in UnMasterclass were drawn from The Art Book, published by Phaidon which I received for a birthday when a teenager first starting to think I may become an artist one day. It seemed an appropriate tome to turn to when conceiving and carrying out UnMasterclass and it was rarely deviated from. We hope UnMasterclass is as “easy to use, informative and fun” as the The Art Book claims to be. This week another classic painting goes under the proverbial hammer and is annihilated by the UnMasterclass team. Go along to http://vimeo.com/23383749 to see the latest episode, or of course as usual we would heartily recommend you went along to a gallery instead.
