Concerning The spiritual in Art: A Review
*gromyko
reports, September 23
reports, September 23Every work of art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the
mother of our emotions. It follows that each period of culture
produces an art of its own which can never be repeated. Efforts
to revive the art-principles of the past will at best produce an
art that is still-born. It is impossible for us to live and feel,
as did the ancient Greeks. In the same way those who strive to
follow the Greek methods in sculpture achieve only a similarity
of form, the work remaining soulless for all time. Such imitation
is mere aping.

Make it easier for the Gallery Directors!
=foudroyant
reports, October 19, 2007
reports, October 19, 2007Few days ago one of my celebrity portraits was moved from Portraits & Figures to scraps. I had no clue why the staff of deviantArt did that and the FAQ didn't answer my question either, so I contacted the help desk and after a few days I got an answer which first seemed really strange to me.
It said in the message that it was moved to scraps, so I could move it to the more proper category which is Fan Art. This didn't, however, answer my question why it was moved and I was even more puzzled, because almost every portrait artist has their celebrity portraits in Portraits & Figures. So asking why mine was any different from the others I sent a reply and I got an answer:
"I realize that there's a lot of drawing in portraits of famous people that also need to be moved, and it seems like most of your gallery fits with that. It was moved to fan art - tv/movies because she's an actress, regardless of her being in a role in your drawing or not."
I think there are others too who didn't have a clue our portraits (drawings/paintings!) of any kind of famous people whether they're actual actors/actresses or them in one of their roles or singers, should be submitted to the Fan Art section.
To make it easier for the Gallery Directors, it would be nice if all of us portrait artists (both traditional and digital) could move our celebrity portraits under Fan Art.
The type of portrait drawings/paintings that belong there:
- All celebrity portraits
- Portraits of Movie&Tv characters

`arcipello's artwork is instantly recognisable. His vibrant colours and sci-fi scenes are breathtaking at times, pulling you into a world where man and machine live in colourful harmony.
An inspiration to many, Daniel's dedication to his craft is evident throughout his gallery, with many of his beautiful prints hanging on walls across the globe. In recognition as being one of the most successful artists in our deviantART community, we're delighted to award this month's Deviousness Award to `arcipello Read More

I think the policy must've changed when they made some changes to the categories few months back.
I put my celeb portraits to portraits and figures, because everyone else had theirs there.
And all my celebrity portraits were moved by an admin, so this should be correct.
I asked the gallery director if it would be of any help that I wrote a journal about this and he said that it would be greatly appreciated. Then Michelle suggested that I should write a news article so more people would know about this and so I did.
Portraits of famous people, I think, are allowed as prints as long as they're not characters from movies, since those are the property of whoever made the story.
