Pictures I like

A restaurant in the 1970s.

Agreed. I'm agreeing with you, and disagreeing with Gordo. He said the portraits only present what the sitter chose. I think they show what Karsh chose to bring out.

I can live with this. 

Anyway, I'm not sure if I have explained myself clearly. I didn't try to say something like: Karsh wasn't in control of the situation and the sitter finally did what he/she wanted, beyond Karsh's plans or purposes. No, what I try to say is that Karsh's artistic agenda: to catch a sort of "official" image of the personage, epitomizing the usual ideas about it, it's not an artistic idea that I particularly enjoy. Because I always want a painter or a photographer trying to see behind the personage, trying to catch a moment of vulnerability of the sitter, that moment when the "social mask" has fallen for a second and it's possible to glimpse the hidden inner person, not the public personage. But, obviously, this wasn't Karsh's purpose, so I'm being unfair with him.

Rinus Van de Velde is a wizzard with charcoal. I'm definitely not sure if I understand him ...:

The real Winnie-the-Pooh

[Ken B]

Painted by my great-uncle, who was a noted Canadian watercolourist.

There was a display of his work at the Art Gallery of Ontario when I was young, and there's a plaque in his hometown.

Hi Ken B, this might interest you...?

The jellyfish watercolours by Charles-Alexandre Lesueur (Le Havre /1778-1846) are exquisit!
