Tintoretto pt. 1
My head is constantly working on things, like smoothing out the plot of a story or putting a book shelf together. This is why I need to get things done quickly, so I could be done with it and get to the next problem. Because of this, the quality of my work varies, from a bunch of shades of gray representing a face:
To the multi layered expressions and outcry of the experiential memories spent during an artist residency in Florence, Italy:
A Mannerist who has been criticized for the speed at which he worked was Venice’s Tintoretto.
He embraced mostly the emotional aspect of Mannerism, and was influenced by Michelangelo, and took the color palette of his mentor, Titian. He was the son of a cloth dyer, also known as a tintore in Italy. Tintoretto was his nickname, meaning “the little dyer.”
More on him later, after I finish some projects with a more worthwhile pay (they pay with ice cream).
