Searching For Discount Landscapes Oil Paintings

Looking for a certain landscape oil paintings can take a lot of patience that some may not possess. Unless a person loves artwork, it can be very time consuming. It is like looking for buried treasure, or like trying to find the needle in the haystack. If a person was looking any artwork to fit the decor of an office space, most galleries will offer something for every taste.

How can you find quality oil paintings that are within your taste and budget. After all, you want to hang an original on your wall, and not a print. While prints are the next best thing, it is nice to have the actual piece from an artist who has signed it with noting how many have one of the few originals. The first place to start would be to ask friends and family. Are any of them collectors? You may be surprised that they may have a piece that is negotiable for the right price to purchase. Also, they may be willing to tell you their secret places to purchase and how often the stores hold sales events.

Searching for paintings for sale online can be tricky since you do not always know what you are getting. If you want an original, it could be a cheap reproduction.

Why your customers NEED the smartphones with dual SIM!

For most of us the notion of what a dual SIM phone is brings up an image of a phone with the unique ability of being able to support two SIM cards and consequently two networks. Users are able to use both SIM cards, make/receive calls, send SMS and use data from either SIM card at the same time, without having to switch between SIM cards and elimates the need to carry two phones.

Even though phones with dual SIM support have been around for quite a few years, they haven't really received as much attention in the Western world where mobile carriers would rather prefer that subscribers make use of a handset locked to their services at home and when they travel abroad. This, however, is a whole different story in developing markets!

Most end users in these regions simply don't bring in enough income to enjoy the luxuries of a flagship device with high specs and an even higher price tag. Luckily for them, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers have been hard at work in producing some of the best low cost smartphones with dual SIM support to date! But, how do your customers really benefit from acquiring a dual SIM phone? What are its true selling points and how can you leverage this technology to sell more smartphones? Find out the answer to these questions and more right here!

Why your customers NEED a smartphones dual sim?

Dual SIM cards offers end users a mobile experience that is more functional in many ways than that of a device with one SIM slot.

Most low cost dual SIM smartphones check all of the boxes above and then some!

Mix business and pleasure

The nature of the dual SIM smartphone allows users to essentially hold two identities at once.

This enables users the rare opportunity of being able to mix business with pleasure, on one unconstrained platform!

Chinese Sweatshops Reproductions Fine Art Painting

Who of us hasn't at one time or another seriously considered a career in forgery?But if I can't sell my copies as high-priced forgeries and am instead forced to make endless cut-rate copies in a down Economy then hey, I'll take what I can get for the most part.

A suburb of Shenzhen in China, Dafen is an entire village of reproduction painters. Established by businessman Huang Jiang, it sprang up in the '90s and grew from about 300 to 8,000 artists producing massive quantities of paintings for the Chinese Domestic and Global Art markets. The villagers sidestep questions of copyright by (mostly) Oil Painting Reproduction that are older than 50 years. And by not masquerading them as authentic works.

Of course, the term 'sweatshop' is heavily loaded. Images of foreign slave labor, children toiling on industrial looms and the Triangle Shirtwaist fire spring instantly to mind. Does it apply in the case of the Dafen painting studios? Painters do "work long hours for very low pay", but the focus of the World Media regarding Dafen has been the public's insatiable appetite for cheap knock-offs, not the working conditions of the painters themselves.

According to Der Spiegel, 29 year old Dafen artist Wu Han Wu "receives the equivalent of €0.30 per copied painting. That means he earns between €100 ($128) and €300 ($385) a month -- barely enough to cover his living expenses and send a little money home. But he doesn't complain: "It's much better in a workshop like this one, without a schedule."Indeed, the article goes on to say that "the life Wu and his roommates live is not so different from that of the artists whose works they're copying, at least as far as their average day is concerned: They start painting around lunchtime and work until late at night."

We'd like to think of Art as being above Commerce, but everyone from the high-end galleries of Chelsea to the backrooms of Dafen is a slave to money. Dafen Artist Zao Xiaoyong alone estimates he's painted and sold more then 70,000 copies of Van Gogh, and the general estimate suggests that Dafen produces 60% of the World's oil paintings. That's a fascinating statistic, and signifies not only the Walmart-ization of Art production, but the deeply inherent desire of people to possess an 'original' oil painting. 'Painting is dead'? I don't think so.

There's also an attitude these days among people,that hard work is to be avoided at all costs and should in fact be made illegal. We're shocked when we hear of people who actually have to work for a living.

The origins of abstract painting

Abstract oil painting originated from abstract art, which is some kind of art style. However, abstract art is not sprang from the twentieth century, during which period abstract oil painting came out, developed and went grown. Abstract art has a mysterious and long history tied in a hundred and one ways with Judaism and Islam. Although viewers can feel frenzy, fantastic, and exaggerated, hardly can one associate it with forbidden protocols by Judaism and Islam. Just because people were prohibited from depicting human being on canvas, they created abstract art style in which way human and objects were absurd and obscure images in artworks unexpectedly. From then on, abstract art has been developing as a profound art style; and oil painting is one of the most important manners of this art style.

Abstract oil painting could be dated from early twentieth century authentically. Unlike these conventional schools of painting, abstract oil painting seems to be irrational, frenzy, and even in chaos; we can not define it as something may be understood or not briefly. Nevertheless, all the different characteristics from conventions make abstract oil painting much more attractive on the contrary. Viewers like this art style not only because of its novelty, but also by virtue of its art profundity. Rooted from cogitation of human nature, abstract oil painting can grasp every viewer's soul and then guide them to the secret garden of their deep heart.

A personal gift for experiencing your world in dimensions full of unexplainable color combinations, expressive forms, sounds and with the urge to share this with as many people as you can.You experience our art every hour of the day. The music you hear on the radio, the abstract art in office buildings even the design of your car.
