Artist Biography & Oil Painting Reproductions
The biographies of famous artists will inform, shock, and make you happy or sad. A common thread runs through many of their lives. Collaborations, exhibitions, teaching, travel, and friendships link them together. Some of the painters were highly successful and became world-renowned. Some artists only sold a few paintings during their lifetime and were poor, depressed individuals.
Many started out reproducing oil paintings of the old masters in museums to support themselves or as part of their artistic training. As you read the artist's biographies, one thing is clear: through hardships, poverty, despair, ridicule, or uncertainty, they never gave up their passion for being a painter.
