Leonardo da Vinci Was a Procrastinator
Leonardo da Vinci is unquestionably one of the most famous artists in history. Ironically, one quirk that made him such a genius was that he was easily distracted.
Despite being the epitome of a “Renaissance man,” Leonardo had a penchant for leaving his works unfinished. Evidence for this is seen in the hundreds of notes and sketches he left behind for projects following his death in 1519.

Need more evidence? Two of his most famous works took a combined 17 years to finish. Leonardo worked on his influential mural, “The Last Supper,” for three years, and he later spent a whopping 14 years completing the famous—and surprisingly small—“Mona Lisa.” It’s said that Leonardo only finished “The Last Supper” after his patron finally threatened to cut off his funds.

Our guest this week is Laurette Desta Hagos: she was born in Adwa but was raised in Addis Ababa. She is a graduate of the University of Addis Ababa, School of Fine Arts and Design under the mentoring of Gebre Kirstos Desta.

She is the first female Ethiopian artist to exhibit her paintings in the country. She is also one of the few individuals who had lost thirty treasured paintings and survived the agony of loss.
Her first interest in art came when she was around five. Laurette Desta remembers her youth by saying "When I was just a very young child, I remember that I adored flowers and plants, and love to cut flowers so that I can look at their beauty" recalling her love for
beauty and colors. A remarkable lady.

She has participated in fifty-seven exhibitions here in Ethiopia and all over the world.

INTERESTING AND FUN FACTS ABOUT ETHIOPIAN ART

Ethiopian art refers to any form of ancient and contemporary art tracing from the 4th century until the 20th century. It can be divided into two broad groupings.

1. First comes a distinctive tradition of Christian art, mostly for churches, in forms including painting, crosses, icons, illuminated manuscripts, and other metalwork such as crowns.

2. Secondly there are popular arts and crafts such as textiles, basketry and jewellery, in which Ethiopian traditions are closer to those of other peoples in the region.

Its history goes back almost three thousand years to the kingdom of D'mt.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church has been the predominant religion in Ethiopia for over 1500 years, for most of this period in a very close relation, or union, with the Coptic Christianity of Egypt, so that Coptic art has been the main formative influence on Ethiopian church art.
