Sandpictures in the world of art:
During the Gregorian time artist took up the idea of the japanese tray-painting. For feudal banquets the arranged pictures on white table cloth, made of sand and sugar.
In the 19th century unknown artists created primitive pictures made of sand that was fixated to boards with glue – a nice souvenir of the beautiful cliffs.
Painting with bond sand became a popular medium and it must be mentioned that some of the popular artists of the 20th century mixed sand to their oil colours to enhance the texture of their pompous colour strokes.
