Pictures I like

[André]

There's a Marcel Gromaire exhibition in Sète, France.

I had never heard of him but his paintings strike a chord. Not least for their great cd art cover potential 


La déshumanisation des soldats (The Dehumanization of Soldiers)


Les buveurs de bière (Beer Drinkers)


Les contrebandiers (Smugglers)


Girls 1929

Well at a stretch I can see this one used for Swan Lake.
'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies'?

I deduct points for tattoos.

And joke sized falsies.

You must be seriously traumatised when you first encountered gigantic tattooed falsies.
Me, I have no particular objection to tattoos as long as they have 'artistic merit' and aren't installed on a gentleman's ****. YUK

For some reason I was traumatised in my early years by the sculpture of Laacoon and Sons. As an adult I still find it disturbing and have to repress thoughts of something sub-conscious at work besides the portrayal of a mythological scene. Apparently Freud had some peculiar theories about the work, but then again he had peculiar theories about almost everything.

I kinda agree... and while there is some appeal, I'm not sure what to think, really.

Tidbit. I was the last member of the public to see that statue for several years. We were in the museum when they put a tarp on it and wheeled it away for restoration. It was out of view for several years.

I'm interested to hear what your reaction to it was.

Tree trimming day. My favorite ornament.

I didn't really get long enough to have a reaction. We were there literally less than 2 minutes before it was covered! I liked it. Wife didn't even get to see it, she was looking at something else.

The statue I liked most was the bronze boxer. https://www.google.com/search?q=bronze%20boxer&client=puffin-a&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#imgrc=s84G6zm5A8aOWM:  Seen up close it's amazing. I also really like Bernini.

It disturbed me as I took. those 'bracelets' on his hands to be weapons of a very vicious kind. But then again I've always found the 'sport' of boxing disturbing.
Yes, I know it builds character etc. Strangely other martial arts such as karate I took to like a fish to water. Maybe because I had the hots for my instructor?
Bernini; a big yes from me despite the often strange erotic overtones.

Up close you can see the scars on the boxer.

I personally don't care for the tattoos. She's also not really my cup of tea either. But, hey, if you like her, then that's all that matters right?

No, it also matters if she likes him - - - that is unless we're talking about a financial transaction.

One of a group of paintings by Frederick McCubbin titled 'The Pioneer' a series with a tragic ending.
McCubbin was a member of an Australian post impressionist collective ( some would argue with the description) known for their al fresco work.
