Small source, but the point remains: one of my favourite Rembrandts. (If we're going "traditional", that is. :))


And of course the Hammershøi I have on my desk right now - mind: not my desktop - "The Coin Collector" (himself).

This picture really does something for me Renfield.  I love picturtes of humanity in a solitary condition, and you can't get any more atmospheric than this.  Top post! ;D

Balls.  I'll come back later.  You already submitted this post! You might have accidently double clicked, or tried to refresh.

Giacometti's elongated figures (the last is a photo taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson):

      

Durch alle Töne tönet
Im bunten Erdentraum
Ein leiser Ton gezogen
Für den der heimlich lauschet.

Peanut butter, flour and sugar do not make cookies. They make FIRE.

It's a beautiful, tender scene, an old favorite, Bill. It's so nice that it has its rightful space now in the new Art of the Americas wing.
