"The original painting" - what does this mean?
 

Respected community

What do you mean "original painting"?

Often used, but it konretno mean, is there someone or rstolkovat?
What is the scope of this concept?


Thank you.

NATA NOVA, I can not say the strict definition , but it just means that it does not print or copy , but really the work of the author. (IMHO)

 
Perhaps more than anything, and additionally does not mean ..

Me something strange: if you specify "Canvas /oil," why (with some inner meaning) are added to these "blah-blah-blah?" (In other words can not describe well-tete of such a definition!)

[QUOTE=NATA NOVA; 1693713 ]I guess that's all optional and do not mean ..

Yes , indeed . You can only assume that this was a requirement of the organizers of some exhibition or other event not to be confused , for example , creating a directory.
And then came into use . This is the usual path of " innovation "

The original painting is a painting harkteraya for one specific person. Many believe that if an artist makes an abstraction or konteru , it ochchen original. But here the contrary , it is necessary to be original in these genres, but it's harder than being original in the realistic method. It is almost always commerce . Be yourself , do what legkoi easily obtained and all .

Pavel, NATA NOVA writes about the "original painting", a signature is often taken for work at shows and in catalogs. This is not a qualitative characteristic was strange to be signed by the work of an "original " is in roughly the same as the label " masterpiece ."
And you have in mind the originality that is unique , unusual work.
You can certainly expand the theme and talk about it .

Yes, I would like to clarify ... Is it possible to use this term synonyms:

unique, extraordinary, strange, and etc.
?

In fact, it's just stupid.

That's me and so it seems , but the term exists. On the one hand , showing
level of the person who uses this term ( gallerists , dealers) ..
On the other .... a feeling that this is done in order to expand the pool of potential buyers random . (for dealers and gallery owners do not care who buys )

As is well known artists make a replica, ie
repetitions of their works.

"Original painting" - this is the first instance.
The first work is appreciated for some reason, more than a "copy".
