John Singer Sargent "Demystifying the Masters" with Jenness Cortez, Episode 12
My painting, “Homage to Sargent,” honors the work of the great portrait painter, John Singer Sargent. In it I’m focusing as much on the theme of girlhood as on the life and work of the artist. Let’s look at both those subjects to see how they interact in my painting.

Renoir “Demystifying the Masters” with Jenness Cortez, Episode 11
Просмотров 2693 года назад
Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s, “Luncheon of the Boating Party” is a celebration of a real life phenomenon. In 1881, Renoir was part of a group of young artists and writers who lived, worked and played in the suburbs of Paris. He chose one of their favorite gathering spots, the balcony of the Maison Fournaise a hotel on the river Seine to host his imagined luncheon. After you watch this segment, pleas...
Window on the West "Demystifying the Masters" with Jenness Cortez, (Episode 10)
Просмотров 1504 года назад
I worked on creating this painting for over two years. It documents exactly 200 years of the American West’s history from 1804 when Jefferson dispatched Lewis and Clark’s expedition, to 2004 and the passing of our first truly western president, Ronald Reagan. After you watch this video segment, please take a few minute to watch the other interesting episodes in my “Demystifying the Masters” ser...
Hockney, "Demystifying the Masters," with Jenness Cortez (Episode 9)
Просмотров 1394 года назад
Here’s the first mystery I investigate in explaining my painting “Splash:” What exactly IS David Hockney’s “Paper Pool 18”? Is it a drawing? A painting? A collage? Maybe sculpture? There’s no easy answer now, and the artist had none in 1978 when he completed this mural-size, paintless “painting.” His picture, simultaneously amusing and mysterious in both subject and technique, is composed compl...
Picasso, "Demystifying the Masters" with Jenness Cortez, Episode 8
Просмотров 1304 года назад
My story of Pablo Picasso begins with a chance encounter. When forty-five-year-old, unhappily married Picasso saw the seventeen-year-old school girl, Marie-Therese Walter on the busy sidewalk outside a Paris department store in January,1927, he stopped her, saying that she had “an interesting face,” and that he wanted to do a portrait of her. She was charmed and flattered, and she said, “Yes.” ...
Vermeer "Demystifying the Masters" with Jenness Cortez, (Episode 7)
Просмотров 2354 года назад
In considering titles for this Vermeer painting it occurred to me that the real subject of this master’s works is light. In my own painting I wanted to honor his mastery of that light, and did so by choosing to display three examples of it. I present them as objects three framed paintings against a wall. And in another allusion to the subject of light, the arrangement is anchored by a decidedly...
Vanderlyn "Demystifying the Masters" with Jenness Cortez, Episode 6
Просмотров 2544 года назад
The American history painter, John Vanderlyn, created his “Washington and Lafayette at the Battle of Brandywine” in 1825, nearly fifty years after the battle took place. In spite of its storybook style, or perhaps because of it, this painting won my heart so completely that I chose to build a composition of my own around its lyrical imagery and heroic intention. In my own painting, “Battle of B...
Warhol "Demystifying the Masters" with Jenness Cortez (Episode 5)
Просмотров 2794 года назад
The title of my painting references Andy Warhol, who famously predicted that “In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.” My composition is really more about fame than it is about Andy, but his devotion to celebrity, and his celebration of all its forms, makes his work the perfect vehicle for exploring mid-century America’s enthusiastic preoccupations. That’s why his own face, b...
Rockwell "Demystifying the Masters" with Jenness Cortez, Episode 4
Просмотров 2654 года назад
When I chose Norman Rockwell’s composition as the centerpiece of my own painting, “Grace Beyond Circumstance,” I did so with a special interest in his title’s use of the word “grace” to describe a prayer of thanksgiving, fully aware that it also has several other meanings. The dictionary says an unearned blessing is grace. Being in possession of such a blessing is a state of grace. A beautiful ...
Vincent Van Gogh "Demystifying the Masters" with Jenness Cortez (Episode 3)
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.4 года назад
In my painting “Evening with Vincent,” Vincent Van Gogh's haunting “Starry Night” nocturne sets the stage for a simple, intimate sharing of some bread, fruit and a glass of wine. The soft interior light that I created on the patterned wall was my way of suggesting a refuge safety like that which Vincent found at St Remy. Throughout my creative process on this work, it was an honor and a pleasur...

Remington "Demystifying the Masters" with Jenness Cortez (Episode 2)

When looking at Frederic Remington’s “Stampede by Lightning,” and especially at the lanky, breathless rider in the foreground, I started thinking about all the tales cowboys surely repeated again and again, to themselves and to whoever might listen. My painting, “Conversations with a Cowboy,” is my report of that imagining. Whether you are an art collector, historian or student, please join me ...
Jenness Cortez Re-imagines the "Mona Lisa"

After a year of scholarly research, internationally acclaimed artist Jenness Cortez announced her completion of a new painting that depicts Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” masterpiece as she believes it appeared at completion in the early 16th century. Commissioned by a private American collector, the Cortez work is said to incorporate several compositional elements from the recently restored P...

    Hi. If you care for Mona Lisa's Portrait. I want to tell you something about it .After deep study I reach to that , we can not see the Original of Mona Lisa's Portrait , unless we play in our visions , I mean via saying that, that we play in our looks in terms of the portrait .We can not see the main shape of it by a complete eyes , we try to close our eyes and see little and then step by step we start to open our eyes attentively (focusing on the Portrait by our eyes) .The hall must be dark the light only on the Portrait to focus carefully. By this way dear we can see the Original of Mona Lisa's Portrait. Why I don't tell you the Original of the Portrait, for I saw a person ,Who is he I don't know him indeed instead of Mona Lisa's Portrait. YOURS SINCERELY T.YASSER AUTHOR U.OF ARTS

    First of all, my congrats for the endeavour in making this piece and the extensive research around it. Also, it's no subject of discussion the hue , chroma, etc , due time and the odissey this painting suffered. I just have one question to do: where is the Leonardo's "signature" here? Where is the SFUMATO? It's just a question. Thanks

    Have to say she does not make sence with the red pigment on the sleaves, as you can see the same red used in the skin tones on the original painting. If the sleaves faded then the skin tone red would fade too, as there the same pigment?????. This is a good interpretation of her impression of the old masters but not an exact interpretation.

    The color is beautiful. The layers look a little "broken" ,that probably because of the turpentine quantities ,and not enough drying time. The strokes are visible,and not fully blended. So ,this looks very modern .

    The Maestro painted two versions of Mona Lisa. The one in the Louvre is actually the second version believed to be painted in 1513. The first version, which is on canvas, shows Lisa appearing to be about 10 years younger than in the second version. I read about this a few years ago, the original version is called the Isleworth Mona Lisa.

    Very well done, video, Jenness. Discovered your video series in this morning's edition of ArtNews Daily. I decided to view this video first because of my recent fascination with Jean-Michel Basquiat and the works he made with Warhol. The Detroit Institute of Arts just acquired a very large work by Hernan Bas titled "Sorting Out Andy." I think you would enjoy it if you haven't seen it. I would be very happy to email you photos I took if you are interested. We also have on loan from a private collector, Basquiat's "Rusting Red Car in Kuau." Thanks for the video. Will check out the rest in your series. By the way, I really like your "15 Minutes of Fame."

    I think this interpretation is amazing and, thanks to science, is a lot closer to how the original painting would have looked when freshly painted 500 years ago. Her features are closer to the "Isleworth Mona Lisa" which appears to be an earlier version, or was perhaps the version Leonardo was reluctantly forced to give to his patron Francesco del Giocondo (Lisa's Husband) even though it was unfinished. If I had a chance to view in real life all three paintings, I would view Jenness Cortez's Mona Lisa first, followed by the Isleworth Mona Lisa next and lastly the Louvre version. The order of this list indicates most want to view, to least want to view. I think the Cortez and Isleworth versions are much better paintings, with much more life in them than the Louvre one. Thankfully we have multiple digital and film recordings of those two so the won't be lost to history.

    Very good attempt to duplicate Leonardo’s Mona Lisa and beautifully done but no one could ever successfully duplicate the original because the original was painted with many layers of glazing, which only Leonardo knew how. The softness is missing. And the hands are too small.

      Lack of "softness" due to carelessness in sfumato (something that CAN be achieved). Strange that hands are slightly out of scale: if the goal was a "reconstruction", then it would have been easy to project original's outlines onto a canvas/board (something I am guessing the lady did).
