 The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her Last Berth to be broken up
JMW Turner
An extraordinary JMW Turner exhibition is currently on display at Dallas Museum of Art. The show's next (and last) stop in US will be the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This is probably the most popular special exhibition that I've ever seen in the Dallas area. It is quite overwhelming to have so many Turners all at once. The piece... (See the whole comment)

 Ascension Day
Michael Newberry
Michael Newberry's "Ascension Day" is one of my favorite of his non-traditional paintings. I believe that the essence of my enjoyment is the fully worked out form which simultaneously presents both symmetry and asymmetry, beauty and tension, action and self-centeredness. When I visited his studio, Michael and I discussed his axiomatic concep... (See the whole comment)

 Self-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting (La Pittura)
Artemisia Gentileschi
Artemisia Gentileschi's Self-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting is an incredibly bold work for it's time. Painted during the Italian Baroque period in approximately 1630, and using elements of the "Allegory of Painting" from author Cesare Ripa's 1611 Iconologia, Gentileschi took an incredibly egotistical stand- to say that she was not only a fema...

 Reared Window
A. Robert Malcom
This was an outgrowth of a photo showing a tree managing to grow in a narrow canyon way, where only the part above the walls has the leafry... wanting to make it more interesting, took the idea and made it as part of the 'backyard' of a home... wanting further to see it better, and to gain a sense of depth to the work, turned the left wall into a c...

 After the Haunt
A. Robert Malcom
While this was done initially as a study of doing a straw broom, it quickly became, as so often it does to me, a themed work, this time being a gentle parody of William Harnett's famous paintings [he did two versions] "After the Hunt" and, since was doing a broom, decided to double play on the idea of witches - both the whisking and the post-Hallow...

I recently visited the Girodet exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago and it was awesome. Here is a visual index to some of the works. This piece, Mademoiselle Lange as Danaë has a funny story behind it....

 Still life and three puppies
Paul Gauguin
There are several reasons that I want to share this. First, to finish off what I had started: after Babushka brought me the “Moscow Courtyard”, I had a chance to visit Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. There was a Paul Gauguin exhibition at Met at the time and there I saw Still life and three puppies for the first time. It very much stoo... (See the whole comment)

 Moscow Courtyard
Vasily Polenov
A few years ago, I got a small 9x12 replica of this iconic Russian landscape as a present from my mother-in-law, who specifically commissioned an art student in Moscow to have it done. To this day, this small and badly framed oil painting is the only real thing in my house. It actually looks stunningly good from just a bit of distance. The online r... (See the whole comment)

 Gelbe Spitze
Vassily Kandinsky
This is one of my favorite Kandinsky pieces. I accidentally came across a large framed print of this piece over ten years ago and today it is still hanging in my house. This piece is not yet completely “abstracted” away and it is kind of fun to figure out what’s in there. Though for me, just those shapes, circles, lines, colors - and the combinatio...
