Frank Frazetta...his manipulation of light on the human form,tension and release,and his understanding of suggested action in a "still" form,and his ability to portray a mystical,magical,sorrowful,majestic, or powerful MOOD in a piece that seems to enchant or transform the onlooker into a witness or even a participant in the action..Renoir could also draw you into something as mundane as a portait and gently induce the viewer into a state of wonder ,to pose questions about the life they lived etc. M.C. Escher had this ability,check out some of his less "commercial" landscape and architectural renderings. People care about the human condition(as this work An Apple A Day) suggest. Do not forget that often the Background of a painting tells the "story" and works on the sublimial MIND of the viewer.There's a lot of stuff going on "behind the scenes" in most all the Masters(Rembrandt, Da Vinci,Van Gogh etc.) art. That is ,of course, the role of the artist in society,and why most of them were shunned by the dilitantes and despots of the world until they (the artist) could be CAPITALIZED on after their deaths.You have heard the old but true statement,no one is prophet in his own land...until you are killed by your own country men for shining a light into their darkness and exposing them! Keep up the GREAT work.
