#art #winter #snow #schnee #schweden #malerei
Links im Bildrand in der Mitte befindet sich eine Gruppe Kinder und Erwachsener in dicken Winterkleidern, die sich um einen Maler gescharrt haben, der im Freien malt. Eine verschneite Dorflandschaft ist zu sehen, ein Pferdegespann mit Mann und einige Häuser, sträucher und Bäume.

Wer immer auch gesagt hat, dass Frauen in vergangenen Zeiten niemals Spaß hatten, dem solle gesagt sein: Nein, stimmt nicht. Sieht man hier.

Really I love the idea of "brodalisques".

Four of my paintings are at the William Havu Gallery, and I couldn’t be happier! Which one is your favorite?

1. Grande Brodalisque II.
2. Subdued Dudes with Loud Suits.
3. Sleeping Theseus.
4. Brodalisque with Moto Helmet.

Grande Brodalisque II is an oil painting by Klaire Lockheart that parodies Grande Odalisque by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. The canvas features a reclining bro wearing red shorts and a matching lumberjack hat. Subdued Dudes with Loud Suits is a meticulous oil painting showing a pair of bros wearing ridiculous animal print suits. The man in the tiger-striped outfit reclines on the sofa, whilst the leopard-print besuited dude reclines on the floor. Sleeping Theseus is a contemporary figure painting of a man dozing on a small sofa with his arms posed overhead in reference to historic artwork depicting sleeping Ariadne. Brodalisque with Moto Helmet is an oil on canvas painting that depicts a dude reclining on his right elbow, which is propped up on a white motorcycle helmet.

The realism and psychological intensity of William Strang's work is thanks largely to the particular influence of Alphonse Legros who he studied under at the Slade. An intensity of colour came to dominate Strang's output in the latter half of his career.

Graffiti is pretty awful but by far not a 21st century phenomenon. And to be honest: can also be highly interesting for future generations, especially when you look at ancient graffitis.

Painted from 1861-66, Martin Johnson Heade's 'Haystack at Sunset,'  invites us to explore nature - a rowing boat placed in the central foreground provides entry into the scene and the sunset appears to emphasise the purity, perhaps the divinity, of the landscape.

Ich verabscheue diese Bilder so sehr. Nicht, weil Memling ein schlechter Maler war, sondern weil ich weiß, dass der Mann rechts, Tommaso Portinari, 42, die 14-jährige Maria Baroncelli geheiratet hat. Ich weiß, dass es damals üblich war, aber... ja, ich kann mir nicht helfen, ich finde es abstoßend.
Hans Memling, Tommaso di Folco Portinari, um 1470. Ein Mann in schwarzen Kleidern hat die Hände zum Gebet gefaltet und schaut nach rechts ins Leere. Der Hintergrund ist dunkel. Hans Memling, Maria Portinari , um 1470. Eine Frau mit Haube, reichem Schmuck und Gewändern des 15 Jahrhunderts schaut nach links, die Hände zum Gebet gefaltet. Ursprünglich handelte es sich um ein Triptychon mit der Jungfrau Maria und ihrem Kind in der Mitte.

Put your phones away and grab yourself a good book! It's worth it. Definitely something I will do this evening.
