The
Albuquerque Fresco by Ilia Anossov
is a paradigm of a brilliant modern fresco. Its
technique is on the Grande scale, 23ft by 19ft. Viewing it is
reminiscent of watching a gigantic film, for this fresco
incorporates not only cinematic techniques, and reminders of the
most brilliant art, but also resounds of the painting of late
modern artists with a flair for whimsy, like Jean Miro, and Paul
Klee...

FRESCO
PAINTING |
|

Affresco ( In English usage, “fresco” ). Painting done
on freshly laid wet plaster with pigments dissolved in
lime water. As both dry they become completely
integrated. Known as “true” fresco, this technique was
most popular from the late thirteenth to the
mid-sixteenth centuries. The common assumption that all
mural painting is fresco painting is an erroneous idea.
It is true that one can in fact paint on fresh plaster,
or intonaco, to make a painting in affresco or a fresco. In true fresco the artist must start applying his colors
on the wet (or fresco) intonaco as soon as it has been
prepared and laid on the wall. The colors can thus be
absorbed by the wet plaster. When it dries and hardens,
the colors become one with plaster. Technically speaking
the plaster does not “dry” but rather a chemical
reaction occurs in which calcium carbonate is formed as
a result of carbon dioxide from the air combining with
the calcium hydrate in the wet plaster.

"Pere" Tanguy of Contemporary American Fresco
|
Massimo Zecchi paid shipping charges by the ton to have my fresco materials sent overseas, says iLia Annosov, founder of the Nationwide Fresco Painting Workshop Program, presently The Fresco School, located in Los Angeles California. The Fresco School is greatly possible due to the support of Massimo Zecchi. iLia continues, The United States does not have fresco materials available domestically. I wanted the best tools and with Zecchi help, I could afford to import the needed materials into the states. I could concentrate, thanks to Zecchi, on teaching and popularizing true fresco! Zecchi sent the orders first and allowed the fledgling Fresco School to pay later. Since those first gratis shipments in 1997, the Fresco School has grown to become the only year-round school of its kind and has taught hundreds of students from around the world the ancient technique of fresco art.

The Fresco School - New Fresco Renaissance
|
Believing that the resurrection and proliferation of fresco art to be his true mission in life, iLia Anossov established The Fresco School in 1997. He says, “the complex information bank and technological achievements of our age tempt and often force us to take a ‘short cut’ in visual arts education.” Consequently, although fresco is the most widely practiced art technique of all the ages since the beginning of human history, this endangered art form is not generally taught in mainstream universities or art schools and is often referred to as a lost or dying art.
The Fresco School is designed to be accessible for anyone, both from beginners and children to professional artists. The program has attracted art educators and interested non-professionals from around the globe. The only year round school of it’s kind in the world, The Fresco School focuses the curriculum on an array of classes of the buon (true) fresco techniques of classic artists such as Michelangelo, Rafael and Diego Rivera. The Fresco School’s workshops and classes range from introductory to advanced, to private tutorials, fresco restoration and mural painting seminars as well as the unique opportunity to learn fresco plaster directly from Ian Hardwick.
