Albert Bierstadt

Pam — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:35:56 +0000

Because sometimes you just need to look at something interesting and beautiful. Born in Germany in 1830, Bierstadt was known for his western landscapes. Yet it’s Sunlight and Shadow [above] that I love best. It’s almost as fun reading about the artist’s lives as it is discovering the art itself. Here is a representation of [...]

Oh, my. Martin Johnson Heade created some lovely paintings, didn’t he? Or maybe I’m just partial to orchids and hummingbirds.

Jack Vettriano

Jack Vettriano OBE born Jack Hoggan (born 17 November 1951), is a Scottish painter. His 1992 painting, The Singing Butler, became the best selling, most ubiquitous image in Britain. wiki Vanity Fair did a piece on Vettriano and his critics’ cries of ‘brainless erotica’, in which they described him as: “…an autodidactic ex-coal miner with [...]

Albrecht Dürer

Pam — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:04:54 +0000

Thirty minutes of current events this morning had me scrambling for more beautiful art… and since I’d not looked at Albrecht Dürer yet, he’s today’s target. An important artist, his work is widely known… to most… but I’m trying to catch up. Dürer was a German painter, engraver, mathematician, theorist and I guess all around [...]

Charles Courtney Curran

Charles Curran’s ‘beautiful women in pleasant settings’ captivate me, because there is a feeling about them… He must have truly liked women. Some artists seem to regard them as no more than model; the ubiquitous still life of fruit, if you will. Not Curran. While some look as if they were done for advertisements in [...]

Pop Art

Pam — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 13:34:44 +0000

Didn’t think I’d like Pop Art because Andy Warhol is not really my cup of tea… but I do like David Hockney. Love this one; reminds me of southern California.

Mark Rothko

Pam — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:05:16 +0000

I very nearly skipped right by Rothko, despairing over his many paintings of color boxes. They just do nothing for me. But some of his work caught my attention; detailed surrealist paintings that make you wonder just what he was drinking… I may be hungry, but there seem to be a lot of chicken legs [...]
