Questions About British Figurative Paintings
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 27, 2025The British artist famous for his spot paintings is Damien Hirst. He began producing these pieces in the 1980s. One example, the 2005 painting Xylene Cyanol Dye Solution, is striking for its machinelike uniformity and almost childlike simplicity, a seeming rebuke to the idea of the artist-as-genius. Hirst is the most prominent of the Young British Artists, or YBAs, who began exhibiting together in warehouses and factories in the 1980s. Hirst is known for his use of unconventional materials and “shock tactics” in his paintings, prints, sculptures and other works. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of Damien Hirst art.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024The first Italian painter to paint realistic figures was Giotto di Bondone. His works marked a departure from the elongated, stylized forms common in early Christian art and served as inspiration for Italian Renaissance painters. Giotto's most famous paintings include Lamentation, the Ognissanti Madonna, the Kiss of Judas and Pentecost. Explore a diverse assortment of fine art on 1stDibs.
