Deviant ID feature 3You choose your ID picture to display on your front page right next to your nickname, interests, your bio and all the info that is all about you. It's quite obvious then that the ID itself is - in most cases - all about you as well. Let's take a peek at some really neat ones; and since an ID picture is an essence of one's style and personality, perhaps you'll find new galleries to watch? Here is the last feature from this mini serie - but who knows, perhaps I'll make some more later.

Artists and the Changing LandscapeThe natural landscape is one of the timeless subjects subjects associated with the visual arts. In the past it was rendered through the use of paint. Some of the most famous portrayals of the natural landscape have been:Impression, soleil levant by Claude MonetStarry Night by Vincent Van GoghView of Dedham by Thomas GainsboroughCotopaxi by Frederic Edwin ChurchArtwork involving the natural world has become common place in the contemporary art world, taking on various mediums and meanings.

Masks In Art Through HistoryMasking is a universal theme that has carried throughout the centuries. In Western art, masks, especially African masks, inspired the work of Pablo Picasso and Paul Gauguin. The main draw for these objects was the abstraction of the figure (the face) and the bright color palette. Cubism, Fauvism, Der Blaue Reiter, and Die Brücke were all stylistic movements which were influenced by "primitive masks." Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" is very indicative of the geometric faceting that is found in African masks. Also, there was an interest in the spirituality of the masks and it was believed that the "primitive" cultures that originated these masks were closely intertwined with nature. This is seen in the "Tahitian" series of paintings by Paul Gauguin. However, these objects are embedded in their own culture and were not art objects.
