I'm sure all those lovers of 19th/early 20th century academic art will enjoy Parrish' works. The sweetness of most paintings is ..cloying, but some of these exuberant visions are quite captivating.

That is a wonderful picture!

Were Parrish's lenses tinted . . . rose?  ;)

pjme

No, but he always wore the same pink jacket! ;)

I saw this on the front page of the paper this morning and immediately went hunting for the 'Add to Faves' button. ;D (Users of Flickr may be familiar with this.)

My absolute Magritte fave, "L'Empire des Lumieres":

In 2009 a new Magritte museum ( the "Altenloh-building) will be opened in the center of Brussel's artistic heart - near the Fine Arts Museum and the Museum for musical Instruments.
The Museum will house more than 170 works by Magritte.

Not all Magritte's are breathtaking masterpieces...but Brussels can finaly show one of it's famous artists in a contemporary and welcoming setting.

The René Magritte Museum occupies the house in which the Belgian surrealist painter worked nearly 24 years of his life.
On the ground floor the museum presents the appartment which the painter rented together with his wife Georgette from 1930 to 1954, as well as a biographical exhibition dedicated to the painter.

You're right on all counts.

Thanks. That's a very powerful opening. I've only seen it once, though I've caught the final half of the film 3 or 4 times  ::) That would make for one of the more harrowing moments in life

Oof.
