It was in Rome that he created the marble sculpture “Erste Liebe”, which made him famous overnight. When the National Gallery in Copenhagen wanted to buy the sculpture that got so much praise from critics, it had already been sold.

Elliot was one of the most well-read literary composers and seemed to be his own endless book of literary references.

How to Live According to Irving Singer Throughout Irving Singer acclaimed trilogy, The Nature of Love, the viewer can observe how he unveils rich insight into fundamental aspects of human relationships through literature, the complexities of our being, and the history of ideas.

The Self-Portrait with Saskia was created by the 17th century Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn in 1636 during the Northern Baroque period. The artwork is an three state etching, which is a printmaking process.

I wanted to discuss this work of art because it really strikes me how a person can create such amazing self-portrait sculpters and then re-sculpts them in a totally unique way.

Sick and tired from his uncontrolled lifestyle, he returned to his home in Livorno in 1909 and soon after he went to Paris where he rented a studio in Montparnasse. Initially, he saw himself as a sculptor, especially that Paul Guillaume, who was a young art trader, motivated him and introduced him to the sculptor Constantin Brâncusi who advised to study African faces. He did an exhibition in the Salon d’Automne of 1912 where he displayed eight elongated faces. By 1914, he stopped making sculptures and put all his focus on painting. He created a limestone carving of a woman’s head titled Tête, which became the third most expensive sculpture that has ever been sold in June 2010.
