Pictures I like

[North Star]

Great painting. I have seen a painting by this artist in one of the London galleries.

   

These two are at the National Gallery.

I love these works, but I'm not so happy about what the Calvinists did to the art in the churches, even if I like the result.

Dürer: Praying Hands



Dürer: Great Piece of Turf

This impressed me as much as anything I saw in the National Gallery in London

Awesome.

[Moonfish]

Lovely! Like you Karlo I am also a great fan of Dürer!  Amazing detail!

By Lillian Bassman.



The model is Ann(e?) Saint-Marie, I believe.

Did Bassman work with some Norwegian heavy metal bands?

Does it remind you of those? I'm afraid I don't know any of those bands at all. However, I believe she was working (and still looking around) up until 2010 or so. With that in mind, who knows what was borrowed - and in which direction.

The tonal range on the model's face reminds me of them.

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining. And in doing so it means I've learned something new today. Yay!

Three cool pictures of some American composers that have impressed me more now than ever:

David Diamond -



Walter Piston -



Howard Hanson -

Now in Antwerp - at Rubens'house:



Apart from biblical/mythological/historical paintings, Rubens painted his family. The exhibition is exquisite!

David Diamond -

I like the musical staff (stave?) that's cropping up almost everywhere courtesy of reflections - even in the lenses of the glasses - or sympathetically hinted at in the pattern of the necktie. Alternatively, if that's a classroom and someone is going to study in there, then it all gives me the impression of 'we are going to work and you are going to move forward and progress in a direct and straight and steady manner'!


Perhaps in a similar albeit less formal vein, there's some black and white work by the photographer Werner Neumeister,  which can be viewed here:

I'm sure some of the shots will be familiar to most of you, but I think there's a kind of value and even a fulfilling pleasure in considering a body of work viewed almost as a whole.

Sweet! I wish I was there.

The cover is of her daughter Clara Serena Rubens, from 1618
I wonder if this portrait (presumably of her second wife's sister) is there

   

I presume my favourite Rubens won't be there, though.

Rubens: A View of Het Steen in the Early Morning, ca. 1636  (see the large (30.5 megapixels) image through the link)

You're welcome.

Thanks for that link. I love the photo of Klemp...and I love Jackie

That's astonishing...almost photo realistic.
