Studying the magnificent works of the impressionists, from Monet and Degas to Van Gogh and Da Vinci, I have always been captivated by the simple brushstrokes that combine to create the famous masterpieces that hang in galleries and museums around the world. While appreciating the impressionist movement, I have a particular fondness for Matisse, Picasso, and Cézanne. However, perhaps my most beloved artist An Artist Portrait (Part One) - This is a fantastic article written exclusively for my Weblog by Frank V. Cahoj. Please feel free to comment here or send him emails. He'll be happy of this. An Artist Portrait (Part One) My name is Frank Cahoj and I have been an artist since I was born. I can say this in confidence without… is Escher, whose drawings push the boundaries of the imagination and inspire thought-provoking dialogue.
Growing up, I admired each of these artists, aspiring to be such a creative genius in my own right and develop my natural raw talent as a young artist. Although I studied the paintings of these great artisans and had the opportunity to see some of their works in person, I was never quite able to master the strokes of the brush to bring my work to life like the artists I admired.
Encouraged by my parents, I asked for and often received art sets for my birthdays or at Christmas to continue my sketching and painting as I grew up. In my teenage years, I was able to travel with my parents and see Matisse’s works on display at the Smithsonian Museum during a visit to Washington. In London, I visited the British Museum, and even saw the Mona Lisa on a trip to Paris.
Inspired by the great works of the masters, I continued to develop my artistic skills throughout my formative years and enrolled in as many art classes as I could in middle school and high school. Recognizing that many fine artists struggle to make a living and become famous only after they have passed on, I dedicated my love of art to graphic design and the commercialism of art. While I still find inspiration from the masters, my art sets have seen little use since the computer became such a common tool, but I do still hold onto my original art sets and occasionally pick up a pencil to sketch out my ideas or relax by setting up an easel and doing some watercolor painting just for fun.
Though I may not be known for my art as a master painter, I do enjoy spending time delving into my art sets and rediscovering my passion for creativity An Artist Portrait (Part Two) - This is the Part Two (and final part) of the true life story as artist written by Frank V. Cahoj for our Weblog. (Part One) An Artist Portrait (Part Two) I give an unbelievable amount of credence to these two early periods in my life: one of everlasting creation, one of analysis and disillusionment. The… that stems from the inspired works of some of the world’s great masters. With a sketchbook and my array of pencils, paints, and charcoals, I work to draw out the simple pleasure I gain from creating my own art from somewhere within my imagination.
