    What artists do is create objects that have aesthetic appeal using their creativity and technical skills. Artists work with many different types of materials to make paintings, sculptures, drawings, collages, installations and other media. In some cases, artists may produce artwork for a specific client, called a patron. Other times, artists make art to convey a message or evoke an emotion. In the latter situation, artists may eventually sell their work through exhibitions or dealers. Find a large selection of fine art on 1stDibs.

In American historical writings dating back to the colonial period, you may sometimes see portrait artists also referred to as limners. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of fine art.

    What kind of artist RETNA is depends on what stage of his career you're considering. Growing up in Los Angeles, RETNA was mesmerized by the graffiti that surrounded him. He began practicing the art form and adopted the name RETNA from a Wu-Tang Clan song. In the mid-1990s, he began making murals on walls, trains and freeway overpasses throughout the city. RETNA later transformed from a street artist into a break-out star in the contemporary art world. At first glance, RETNA's prints and paintings look like an undiscovered ancient script.

    Whether artist’s proofs are more valuable varies. The limited supply of artist’s proofs often makes them more valuable than other prints. Discrepancies between artist’s proofs and the final prints can also increase their value. However, an artist’s proof that has a poor-quality image or is in poor condition may not be worth as much. If you're curious about the value of a particular piece, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can evaluate it for you. Explore a selection of art prints on 1stDibs.

Once you know who the artist is, you can use trusted online resources to determine the name and age of the piece. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer evaluate your painting and identify it for you. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of paintings.
