<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9569241, member: 79705"]Ha, the first piece looks like an artist, the second looks like an amateur. Meaning, the first has deliberate thought-out abstraction, following known artistic movement style. The second is clearly going for more realism (or fantastical ideal), but the anatomy of the neck, torso and arm area is wrong. Look for the intent of the art, what choices were made, and figure out if the artist did something "wrong" as an intentional choice....or an untrained accident. Not the end-all-be-all of artistic assessment of course, but it helps as a start.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also see "Donata" or "Donato" in the '98 signature.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
