Kaldenbach presents: marking up the great artists.
Roger de Piles was one of the French critics who - like a schoolmaster - gave points to Italian Masters (highest marks / points were for Titian and Giorgione). Some Northern masters also scored pretty high on couleur and coloris (they were Rembrandt and Rubens). Rembrandt got low marks from Roger de Piles for his drawing. (Ha!)
Oh yes, in another source I read a list to separate the Macho artists from Nervous artists.
Macho artists Animal totem: Lion. Animal Sound: Roar! |
Nervous artists Animal totem: Mouse Sound: Squeak! |
Picasso Leger Derain De Chirico |
Duchamp Dali Balthus Delvaux Cocteau |
Key Characteristics: Crude, boorish, plebean, rustic, expressive, active, into social crowds, dominant. |
Key Characteristics: Refined, cultured, city-wise, detached, aloof, contemplative, not into social crowds, submissive. |
