Our favourite paintings: the great Auteur Gallery
Jonas Burgert
Thanks a lot for the paintings in Wales- it’s strange that i don’t remember him being mentioned in books of Wales and art.
The Ystwyth Valley is the area close by where the film Sleep Furiously is set- and coincidentally it is against a wonderful Belgian film in our world cup. De Saedeleer is a great discovery. I wonder why he is not more famous, many of his wintry landscapes are remarkable
Michael Zichy – Making Love
Édouard-Henri Avril/Paul Avril – Erotic drawing of Sappho and her girlfriends
Édouard-Henri Avril/Paul Avril – Erotic drawing of a guy fuckin’ a goat
I like these: Arterotismo-Paul Avril
William R. Leigh’s ‘Grizzly at Bay’
Caspar David Friedrich
The Sisters on the Balcony (c. 1820)
The Cemetery Entrance (1825)
Easter Morning (c. 1828 – 35)
Just found this one during a search about redheads. Looking for other terms for them (non-derogatory). Good pic!
The Accolade (1901) Edmund Blair Leighton
Also, Black Irish, I adore each of the above pics you posted. I do love exaggerated vertices…
Miasma: As far as those go, this may be his best [certainly one of my favorites, anyway]:
The Chasseur in the Woods (1814)
George Clausen – Breton Girl
Pablo Picasso
Seated Bather (1930)
The Sculptor (1931)
Nude, Green Leaves and Bust (1932)
Hey, I want to see if anyone is willing to help a brother out here -
Scouring the internet for a painting I saw either here or on Senses of Cinema (perhaps in relation to Ruiz though I can’t fully remember). If my memory serves me correctly in any way (which of course it doesn’t), the painting depicted a painting on a drawing room wall of an ocean port, dissolving/opening the entire wall into this setting.
I hoped it would be somewhere in this topic as it was quite neat, but I do not have the patience to look through 38 pages.
All help/advice/words of ill-portent are greatly appreciated.
i really love this one:
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, In Bed, 1893
In slight honor of aggressive red things, Lady Butler’s ‘Scotland Forever’ (1881)

Sylvia Sleigh
In my research for the Welsh gallery, i’ve just come across Sylvia Sleigh (1916-2010) who was born in Wales and moved to the USA. I’m not particularly impressed with her technique, but she’s interesting for being at ease with male nudes (including in groups) as well as female .

De Saedeleer wrote to a friend in 1919 ,,De streek is hier prachtig, de menschen goed en de Welschen boer herinnert mij dien van Vlaanderen (It is a lovely area here, the people are kind and the Welsh peasant puts me in mind of those in Flanders’).
