Figurative art, a pure question of sensation & form

ARTISTIC STYLE

Painting to convey a message

Whether in suggestion or in demonstration, every work of art always represents a thought, a conviction or a state of mind that the artist wants to convey. Figurative art, especially painting, is an excellent way of conveying a specific message.

The artist can identify with his work and give it the form and colours that communicate his feelings or message. More about art on simplymodernart.com.

Paintings and pictures by professional painters

Painting is one of the most expressive arts. Through forms and colours, the artist conveys his vision and conception.

Bernard Buffet, a great French painter of the second half of the 20th century, is recognisable by his style and painting technique. The work can thus be the fruit of nature or of the imagination. A selection of oils on canvas from the artist’s different periods, as well as mixed techniques, watercolours, inks, engravings and original lithographs are on permanent display.

From a technical point of view, painting is composed of three elements: colour, support and intermediate coating. Professional painters make a living from their art and practice painting as a profession.

ART APPRAISAL

Have your art objects appraised!

To enhance your collection or to sell your paintings, you can have your art objects (sculpture, photography, painting and others) appraised. The value of a work of art can vary according to its period, its author, but also its rarity. There are experts who specialise in valuing works of art. Online sites also offer this type of service.

If in doubt, you can ask your insurance company for advice. Indeed, depending on the object to be appraised, insurance companies can give you a list of experts with whom they are in contact.
