Love the Dutch Masters

Edvard Munch, Self Portrait with Cigarette 1895

Great to have you here, Rich Uncle Skeleton.

Glad to see another Rene Margritte admirer on here.

Captain Beefheart actually is painting now. He retired from music to work on his career as an painter, in fact. And I’m pretty sure he did some of the cover art on his albums, specifically his later stuff like Doc At the Radar Station.

Constable: Seascape Study with Rainclouds

Brueghel: Mad Meg

Sotatsu: Egret and River

Renoir: The Skiff

one that always makes me think of his son’s great film A Day in the Country (as does The Swing)

Xul Solar: Ciudad Lagui

Matta: The Earth is a Man

Francis Bacon: Scimpanzè

Ahmed Alsoudani: We Die Out of Hand

I was thinking of putting on Bacon’s Baboon, but your (similar) chimp one is new to me..

Freud: Benefits Supervisor Sleeping

Shigeyoshi Wabe (my father)

Turner: Staffa, Fingal’s Cave

Paula Rego: Celestina’s House

Rembrandt: The Three Crosses

Van Der Goes: Portinari Altarpiece (central section of triptych)

Utrillo: The Berlioz House and Hunting Lodge of Henri IV

Freud’s painting of a woman sleeping reminds me of a Paleolithic figurine called Venus of Willendorf and the Colombian artist Fernando Botero.

A film about Botero can be found here…

Ah he’s fun, distinctive and very popular, Freud more serious, grumpy and lays the paint on thick

I wonder how true to life the colors are but surprisingly modern and relaxed portrait of Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury by Isaac Oliver (1565-1617) … Shakespeare’s contemporary

Four Elements: Water (1569)

Joachim Beuckelaer (1533-1574)
