Website about Fantasy Art - Art gallery worldwide portal. Other useful information: ARC is the Eye of the Storm, at the core, hub and center of a major cultural shift in the art world. With a growing body of experts, we are setting standards of ARC Approval for artists, art schools, systems of training, museum exhibitions and historical scholarship, to bring guidance, direction, goals and reality to an art establishment that has been sailing rudderless for nearly a hundred years. Additionally, the Art Renewal Center is a non-profit educational organization committed to reviving standards of craftsmanship and excellence. Only by gaining a full command of the skills of the past Masters can we create the Masters of tomorrow. This is a step forward for our culture. Experimentation and creativity can only succeed and prosper when built on a solid foundation of past accomplishments, with the tools which empower artists to realize their visions. Nothing has been more restricting and debilitating than the theories of modernism, which eliminated these tools, along with the skills to employ them. We are providing a forum for artists, scholars, collectors and the public to appreciate great art, and to recognize that they're not alone in their suspicions about the emptiness of modern and postmodern art. These suspicions are fully justified by the overwhelming body of evidence and historical facts. There are some who have misquoted me, or, worse, libeled ARC’s philosophy and goals by claiming that we seek to repress artistic freedom. I would prefer there was no art, and no great paintings anywhere in the world, than that the freedoms and liberties that we hold so dear would be lost. Ironically it is modernism and modernists that have for nearly a century suppressed traditional realists from the freedom to express themselves artistically. It is Realism which has been virtually banned in most of the fine art departments in colleges and universities throughout the western world. Above all, the quality of the art and artists is beyond all of our highest expectations. No doubt that in just another few years, ARC's Living Masters(tm) and ARC Approved Ateliers and Art schools will be producing masters and masterpieces the likes of which the world hasn't seen in one hundred years. There has been an overwhelming response to the competition, as the ARC received well over 1,100 entries from all over the world. From the USA to China, the very best artists from over a dozen countries have enthusiastically participated. Following now in a shameful tradition of infamy, yet another major American museum is being lead into disastrous decisions by curators or directors who were trained by modernist ideologues during the mid-20th century. The Minneapolis Art Institute under the guidance of Patrick Noon has decided to sell a major masterpiece, Bohémienne , by William Bouguereau, perhaps the greatest artist of the entire 19th century, in order to purchase a major work by Albert Joseph Moore, an important member of the English Aesthetic Movement, but at best a rather emotionless member of that movement who took their ideology to an extreme by purposely removing any feelings in order to emphasize pretty women in carefully worked out elements of design and color. Globally speaking, a 2nd or 3rd rank master ... * The Art Renewal Center (ARC) is a private, not-for-profit foundation, that has experienced classically trained artists, art historians and scholars, whose judgement is based on years of experience and research, with expertise and standards for reviewing and approving schools, artists and ateliers that foster the classical tradition in art and are deemed worthy of recognition by ARC. Such recognition does not reflect in any way the support or accreditation of the United States Department of Education or any other governmental entity authorized to accredit educational programs or institutions. In fact ARC may be in disagreement with such institutions or agencies, most of which we believe have been warped or even over-run by Modernist ideology and theory. You should use our recommendations if you accept the principles, philosophy and mission of the Art Renewal Center. Assembled here are some of the finest articles on art and artists by such renowned scholars as Vern Swanson, Gabriel P. Weisberg and Steven Levin. The collection ranges from an exposé on the hoax of modernism, an intimate tour of the collection of Fred and Sherry Ross, to the re-evaluation of the reputations of such great artists as William Bouguereau, John William Godward, Ives Gammell and many more. Here are some of the artists already exhibited in our galleries: "For over 90 years, there has been a concerted and relentless effort to disparage, denigrate and obliterate the reputations, names, and brilliance of the academic artistic masters of the late 19th Century. Fueled by a cooperative press, the ruling powers have held the global art establishment in an iron grip. Equally, there was a successful effort to remove from our institutions of higher learning all the methods, techniques and knowledge of how to train skilled artists. Five centuries of critical data was nearly thrown into the trash ..." 2/7/2006 : 13 new artist letters . 2/6/2006 : 7 new artist letters . 2/5/2006 : 15 new artist letters . 2/4/2006 : 1 new artist letter . 2/3/2006 : 22 artists updated; 11 new artist letters . 2/1/2006 : 9 new artist portraits . 1/31/2006 : 5 new artist letters . 1/30/2006 : 7 new artist letters . 1/28/2006 : 1 new artist letter . 1/26/2006 : 61 new artist portraits . 1/25/2006 : 5 new artist portraits . 1/20/2006 : 6 new artist portraits . 1/15/2006 : 3 new artist portraits; 2 new letters . 1/14/2006 : 2 new artist portraits; 1 new biography; 1 new ARChive message . 1/12/2006 : 22 new works of art; 25 new artist portraits . 1/11/2006 : 21 new artist portraits; 12 new works of art . 1/9/2006 : 18 new works of art; 7 new artist portraits . 1/7/2006 : 9 new artist portraits . 1/6/2006 : 33 new works of art; 6 new artist portraits . 1/4/2006 : 9 new artist portraits . 1/3/2006 : 27 new artist portraits . 1/2/2006 : 8 new artist portraits . 1/1/2006 : 16 new artist portraits; 3 artist biographies updated . 12/31/2005 : 4 new artist portraits . 12/27/2005 : 18 new artist portraits . 12/24/2005 : 12 new artist portraits . 12/23/2005 : 11 new artist portraits . 12/21/2005 : 27 new artist portraits . 12/20/2005 : 9 new artist portraits . 12/19/2005 : 30 new artist portraits . 12/11/2005 : 24 new artist portraits . 12/9/2005 : 21 new artist portraits . 12/6/2005 : 5 new artist portraits . 12/5/2005 : 7 new artist portraits . 10/16/2005 : 16 new artist portraits . 10/15/2005 : 13 new ARChive messages ; 13 new artist portraits . 10/12/2005 : 52 new works of art ; 13 new artist portraits . 10/11/2005 : 24 new works of art ; 22 new artist portraits . 10/8/2005 : 31 new works of art; 6 new artist portraits . 10/6/2005 : 57 new works of art; 1 new artist portrait . 10/5/2005 : 8 new artist portraits . 10/4/2005 : 2 new biographies; 1 new obituary; 5 new ARChive messages; 19 new artist portraits; 11 new works of art . 10/2/2005 : 17 new artist portraits . 9/27/2005 : 9 new artist portraits . 9/24/2005 : 53 new artist portraits .

ARC now offers a Frequently Asked Questions forum Brian Yoder contributed thirty entries in our new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) forum in the ARChives. Starting with the question of "what is art", and how to distinguish good from bad examples, Brian proceeds to give a brilliant exposition of all the fallacies attending Modernism. He addresses such questions, for example, as whether objective judgments can (or can not) be made about art, whether artefacts from different cultures are all equal, the role of illustration, comic book art, and photography, etc. He has compiled these responses after years of correspondence with visitors to his website , and has kindly donated them to ARC's forum, the ARChives.

At last there is a place where talented young people can find an approved list of schools and programs where they can go with confidence that they will receive real step by step training on how to create great art. Countless thousands of talented young people for many years, have been sent to thousands of university art deparments to be taught by people who know nothing about the art of painting and sculpture. Countless millions of dollars have been wasted along with all that potential and talent, the best of which usually quit in complete disillusionment. Now there is a home for them and a body of experts to whom they can turn with assurance.

Quote of the Month :: "I think that attitudes about race and sex in 19th century Europe and America are rather skewed by historians and commentators with contemporary fish to fry. What was remarkable about the 19th century in these areas was not how backward people's ideas on these topics were, but how for the first time in history they were not so backward. Remember, until that time every major culture in history had engaged in slavery, and pretty serious racial/ethnic provincialism. The astounding thing about 19th century Europe and America was that they eliminated slavery and started doing crazy new things like letting women vote, own property, and so on. Of course these changes for the better didn't happen overnight and it wasn't instantly perfect (how could it have been otherwise?) but overall I think that Victorians and their contemporaries primarily deserve credit for moving away from these evils, not blame for not having done so instantly and perfectly." -- Brian K.
