Аrt is one of the best ways to express what we see around us. People have always tried to express themselves in different ways: through writing novels, poems and songs, through creating hand-made items and paintings.There are many art works by famous artists which are visually attractive. Most of them are kept at the Louvre, the Hermitage, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, the Tretyakov Gallery, the British Museum and some other world-famous museums. Some works cost a fortune. For example, Paul Cezanne’s painting “The Card Players” costs more than 200 millions of US dollarsHowever, my favourite artist is William Turner. He is a well-known English painter, who mostly created romantic landscapes. He was only 12 years old when he started drawing. His childish sketches are still preserved in the British Museum. At the age 21 he began exhibiting his works at the Royal Academy. Most of those works were water-colours and oil paintings. Turner was a real traveler. He visited France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, but he never lost interest in his own country. As a landscaper, he was mainly interested in light and colour effects. One of his famous paintings is even called “Light and Colour”. All his works are highly praised by critics. Turner died in London in 1851. His paintings are considered to be the property of the British nation.Among Russian artists I especially admire Ilya Repin and Valentin Serov. They are both considered to be outstanding Russian masters of art. Ilya Repin was mostly interested in historical and political events of his motherland, which he expressed in the paintings. He created the portraits of some outstanding figures, among them Tolstoy, Mussorgsky, Pirogov. Valentin Serov also painted some famous people, including Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Isaac Levitan, Sawa Mamontov. His most famous works “The Girl with Peaches” and “The Girl in the Sunlight” can be seen in the Tretyakov Gallery.
