by Guest Contributor (April 2nd, 2008 | 10:52 am) - No Comments

In portraits, artists have been trying to represent not only the physical appearance of the subject, but also characteristics of the personality, by using the pose, elements in the composition, and even the choice of techniques.
Science has developed powerful techniques to visualize what is hidden under the skin: and not only morphological characteristics, but also […]

Community Feedback

The Internet is quickly paving the way for artistic revolution, giving new arms for artists to reach art enthusiasts, collectors and appreciators across the globe. I am reminded of the words of musician and activist Jello Biafra when he suggested that we âbecome the mediaâ. Artists of all stripes now have the opportunity to do exactly this with the availability of platforms such as TalentDatabase.com. The art revolution for the Internet age is just beginning, and accessibility is no longer in the hands of an elite few. This is a visionary approach that will create unparalleled exposure for artists and a more eclectic and authentic palette for viewers and lovers of art. This is not just social networking. This is activism for art. I look forward to more!

This is my fourth day on this site and I am beginning to see artists from other sites showing up here. My sense is the online method of networking one\'s skill, search and marketing ability is just getting heated up. I certainly feel this site is moving in a proper direction with it\'s ease of operation, and apparent intention to actually aide the artist in reaching, \"End Users\", as in collector\'s, buyers, gallery owners, and those with disposable income. My hat is off to Talendatabase.com
