"There's nothing new under the sun," said the wise man.  The drawings of the old masters prove this. The conditions of life have changed, but the human condition has not. The Old Master’s drawings are the best teachers, examples of great resolve. They have it all: composition, line, tone, mood, brevity, and taste. All we have to do is come and feast. One marvel is common to all of them: the artists made drawings for themselves, never intending for anyone to see them. Consider how this affects your relationship with your drawing practice. From the beginning of time, artists gazed, copied, and learned from the earlier masters. We are fortunate to have such easy access to a vast number of masterpieces today. 

Kogan, Simon
Simon Kogan

Simon V. Kogan is an internationally renowned and influential artist and teacher. Born and trained in Russia, Simon comes from the rare breed of renaissance masters where the artist develops and produces everything himself -- from planning, designing, making the paint to decorate the walls, and sculpture to adorn it from inside out.

A once-in-a-generation artist across multiple mediums, Simon is known for his complex yet paleolithic representation of the human soul and spirit - a vague yet powerful view of our collective and individual pneuma. Simon's depth of talent and skill offers a unique capacity to create intricate, tempestuous, and haunting depictions of humankind, be it through bronze, clay, paint, glass, ink, or wood.

After emigrating to the United States in 1991, Simon has created inspired works that acknowledge the history, beauty, and pain of those who have sacrificed in the cause of freedom and justice. His love of art and its creation extends to life-long teaching and mentoring students around the world. In 2022, Simon was recognized by the Washington State legislature for his contributions in enriching the community and elevating the human experience.

Simon's oeuvre of work includes everything from monuments, frescoes, jewelry, and portraits to sculpture and paintings that adorn public parks and plazas as well as private homes and businesses. His works are collected by individuals and museums around the world.
