  • Some of his are very strange indeed. It's a stretch of the imagination but some of them remind me a little of William Blake. Do you know his work?

    Only from study, but I just looked at a few of his pieces and I can see how one might bring you to think of the other.  Chagall's use of space and affinity for items and beings afloat are, for me, thrilling and lovely.  One of my best friends is an artist and art teacher and she has always tended to have a floating figure of some sort stuck somewhere on a canvass.  I know to look for it because sometimes it isn't completely obvious.

  • I'd like to have Ancestors of Christ by Michelangelo because an entire chapel goes with it.

  • Unusual choice, Nev, and not at all what I was expecting, even though I've seen it in the past.

  • The voice of experience. Back about 1971 I won a chess trophy. I was proud of that darned thing And the kids were playing football in the house and...

  • Tammy, I know how popular that is but I've never been able to get my head around it. Maybe I need to sit with it for a while -- well, the unmoving version, anyway -- to get to know it.

  • The first time I heard about this was in one of Michael Connelly's (I think it was Connelly) novels a couple of years ago. I looked it up then and spent ages examining it. Of course, art on the Internet is better than none at all, but with a limited screen it loses a bit. Thanks for that.

    You're welcome, Didge!
    :)

    And I'd be ecstatic to own any of Hopper's paintings probably (except for some of his landscapes/water-coast scenes). 
    I prefer his "lonely people" studies. Or, at least, that's what I'd call them.

  • I can understand that. I had to look him up but they're very different, aren't they?

  • Very. His art is just weird in general.
