WATER-COULOR PAINTERS:
Task
A. The two Italian artist are:
-Angelo Marinucci (Rome, 15th August 1909 – Rome, 12nd October 1994)
- Raffaele Mainella (Benevento, 1856 –shore of Venice, 1941) was a painter, a graphic
designer, an architect and a decorator.
Marinucci’s work is better for me: the colours and the lines are clear and well-defined, so I like it
most. Mainella’s painting has some strong colors that I don’t like particularly (the brown-orange of
the grass and of the houses), but I really like the reflection of the grass on the river.
Process:
- Claude Oscar Monet (Paris, 14th november 1840 – Giverny, December 1926) was a French
painter;
-Henri Émile Benoît Matisse (Le Cateau-Cambrésis, 31st December 1869 – Nizza, 3rd November
1954) was a French painter, sculptor and engraver.
-Giotto di Bondone, (Vespignano, 1267 – Firenze, 8th January 1337) was an Italian pinter.
3. I dislike the piece of art of Claude Monet: the draw is realistic, but the colours, the forms and the
shadings aren’t. I dislike a lot the colours he used because it looks like a terrible dark day, the house
seem peopled by monsters, witches, bats and ghosts and it is really terrifying to see.
Matisse’s technique isn’t ugly, but I didn’t like the contest of his picture and what they are
representing. The last one (the Giotto’s one) is my favourite. It is ordinate, not confusing, the
colours are bright and brilliant and it’s so realistic too.

Nikola Marinov
Process
A
1.
2. Nikola Marinov was born in Targovishte in 1879; he was a Bulgarian painters and teacher.
3. In his town, the people preparated an art gallery and opened a school that bring his name, so he’s
really respected and admired by his fellow countrymen.
B
1.-2.-3. I have chosen this painting because it reminds me love. It’s a nice check: it represents a
mother who’s embracing her child. The little child seems calm; he is probably thinking that his
mum is the safest place to hide when the storm is ranging outside, and she really likes to be the only
one for her baby. Of course, the eyes not definite of both make me a little afraid, but for me the
painter wanted to convey only the familiar bond.
C
1. In my house, there are a lot of pictures; my favourite one is my mother’s portrait: it was made
with a simple piece of black chalk, but it’s really beautiful.
The check represents my mum as a young woman. Her hair flutters about the wind, the icy and
mysterious look, the fine lips and the gentle face… I don’t know who made this painting, probably
a street artist, but he was very gifted for this job.
2.
Evaluation
I find this exercise a bit hard, especially trying the answers about Nikola Marinov, because it’s very
difficult find some information about him in Italy.
Doing this task I’m losing my mind: I hate spending time on computer, but for this work I spent
three hours in front of it (it made my eyes smart for the tiredness!).
I hate my computer, because it steals a lot of time to my life: I can seem unusual, not so typical, but
I prefer to read a good book than to surf the net!
Conclusion
I didn’t find a lot of information about Marinov, so I didn’t know a lot about his life; but one thing
really impressed me a lot: Italy or Bulgaria, anywhere, his passion for art crossed each border, each
people, each language, each prejudice. I liked him because he unfolded everywhere, like a flower
blooming.
Marinov’ s name in Cyrillic alphabet is: Никола Маринов, but I don’t know it by heart.
Students of Nikola Marinov: Dechko Uzunov and Ilia Beshkov
Process
A.
1. These are Dechko Uzunov’s pictures; he worked in a wide variety of media, executing paintings,
book illustrations and stained glass. His paintings, most of which are portraits and landscapes, are
distinguished by a free brushwork and rich colours. His works seems very obscure and his
technique is very mellow, but these check are handsome, I like them, only if the colours are too
much strong.
These are Ilia Beshkov’s images; As a student, Beshkov published caricatures in the Maskarad, Div
Dyado, Balgaran, Starshel and Vik magazines and illustrated the issues of the T. F. Chipev and
Hemus printing houses. From 1925 on, he co-operated with the Pladne magazine among others.
He’s the representative of the Bulgarian satire policy.
He usually used comics’ style, but he only did some water-colours work; in a lot of them, he
marked the outlines with black lines.
Conclusion
My paintings aren’t the best, but I tried with all myself to do them well, so I’m satisfied with my
work.
In my childhood, I used to paint with my sister and my cousin; we enjoyed being more coloured
than the paper, and we particularly liked to get our grandmother crazy (she hated dirty and untidy
things).
Task
The first photograph was taken at eleven o’clock in the morning; it was taken from my sister
Sabrina and it represents a beautiful mountain landscape, in Pialpetta. The picture was caught
thanks to a digital photograph machine.
Process
The twentieth century opened with an important step: in 1907 the Lumiere brothers finalized the
procedure for the development of color film. Through this century were very important the
innovation in improving the camera and in experimenting with new materials development and
printing.
The beginning of the new century saw the denial of photography as an imitation of the painting,
(which it was at first of this change). It was born a new movement, that influenced everybody. But
it started a competition between the painters and the photographers: which instrument to represent
the truth was the best one? Today, the two things are equality appreciated, so we could see both of
them in art galleries.

2. My idea was to create a relaxing composition; The first three pictures represent three things I
like: the swing, books, and my pencil, without which I cannot draw (I love drawing!). The last
picture represents some cherry trees: they are the most beautiful masterpiece in the world! My
dream is walking in Japan between them, under a petals rain… It’s so magic!
