FREAKY WEIRD FOLKS
#art #painting #venice #carnival
Lajos Gulacsy: On the Bridge, Freaky Weird Folks Marched Through 1906 I like the title; It is like, “What happened, Lajos?” would somebody asked the painter and he replied, “ Man, on the bridge, freaky weird folks marched through.” That was it. At Carnival time in Venice, folks are going crazy sometimes, because their real…

People
Jean-Michel Basquiat: People 1983 Simple things can be so powerful. Who knows what the troubled punk-rocker-homeless-heroin-addict-talented-artist Basquiat wanted to tell the world with this little piece of art? Only he would, but he took it to his grave. For me, Jesus’ picture popped up first in my mind…

My Heroes
#Thanksgiving #read #Nativeamericans #president #washington #uspresident #art
Charles Bird King: Young Omahaw, War Eagle, Little Missouri, and Pawnees 1821 Here they are, my childhood heroes, the Native Americans. I grew up with J.F. Cooper’s romantic stories from the prairies, about the white settlers and the Indians, British soldiers, and the wonderful nature of the American colonies. I had an Indian name, Spring Breeze,…

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary

Harry Clarke: Saint Elizabeth of Hungary 1921 Color-stained glass art bewitches me like kaleidoscopes do. Originally churches ordered them to acquaint the bible to the illiterates. Stain glass artists painted scenes from Jesus’s life or the catholic saints’ with beautiful black lines and curves and vivid colors. Harry Clarke, the…

The Homeless Philosopher Who Shat on the World
#READ The #Homeless #Philosopher Who Shat on the #World. #art
Jules Bastien-Lepage: Diogenes 1877 Over the centuries, only anecdotes have been kept on Diogenes’ odd life. The cynical ancient Greek philosopher was a contemporary of Plato, Socrates, and Alexander the Great. But Diogenes gave people shit, sometimes literally by defecating in public and urinating on whomever…

Alone
#international #prostitute #day #READ the #art #story #ToulouseLautrec
Henry de Toulouse-Lautrec: Alone 1896 Toulouse-Lautrec lived his short life in full. He lived in the Parisian night, in the dancehalls and cabarets among the showgirls and artists. Toulouse’s drawings and paintings are yelling. They are singing loudly. I hear the claps and screams and I feel the heat and I smell the taste of the…

A Love Story

Cy Twombly: Hero and Leander 1985 I picture Cy Twombly starting to paint the scene. He turns off the lights in his studio. He will paint in complete darkness, and closes his eyes. He stands at the easel, at the empty canvas with the brush in his hand. Perhaps Twombly knows Marlowe’s poem…

The Exploding Beauty

Salvador Dalí: Exploding Raphaelesque Head 1951 Somehow in this picture everything works for me. The background’s golden-ochre color is very rich: It is like an old, faded papyrus. Dali used less color and more restrained, natural ones. The colors are in harmony. The raphaelesque face’s chiseled features and the slightly bowed…

Run, Crazy Greeks
#Run, Crazy #Greeks #marathon #history #read #art
George-Antoine Rochegrosse: The Heroes of Marathon, the Attack 1911 I like this painting because of its fantastically chosen viewpoint: I, the viewer, am the center. I feel I am in the midst of the battle of Marathon. Resolute Athenian soldiers are running towards me and I am freaking out. Every figure on the painting are facing me, fiercely…

Edward Hopper: Two Comedians 1965 I find this work a compellingly fine painting. The two comedians, the old pantomime characters, who come to bow at the end of the show, are grateful for every bravo and clap. Edward Hopper and Josephine Nivison played their parts in the same drama/comedy/marriage for almost…

Edgar Degas: The Little Dancer aged fourteen 1878-1881 It seems fate always takes away from artists what is the most important to them: the ability to express themselves. Renoir had to attach the brush to his fingers in order to work. Monet struggled with cataract and could not see certain colors, Jawlenski and Repin had painful arthritis in their hands. Edgar Degas’…

Klimt's Sunflower

Gustav Klimt: The Sunflower 1907 In front of the flowery pearl-drapes stands the sunflower with its big leaf-hands, caressingly wrapping the fine bush. In ways, the sunflower head’s position reminds the viewers of Klimt’s famous Kiss painting, how the man bends his head to kiss the woman. They were intended to be…

#ReneMagritte #Art #story #read #artstory
Rene Magritte: The land of Miracles 1964 How can anybody not adore Magritte’s works? They are visions of another planet that is in our head. He has a playfully lightsome world, where gravity means nothing, where a bouquet of flowers in a vase carries all the trees and the sky, and yes, a thin feather can hold…

Why the Bridges?
#MarcChagall #painting #READ the #art #story here:
Marc Chagall: Bridges over the Seine 1954 Marc Chagall’s fable-like, vivid paintings remind me of my filial world, when I had been happily naïve. Then life happened to me, like to everyone else, and I had to change. But I think, and I hope, that a little piece of me still believes that the world can be a…
