I have both of these in my home.
The bathroom one makes me laugh every time I get present with it.
The other one, Hulk is clearly learning from, and listening to, Yoda. Very significant to my journey and evolution.
I really dig a lot of the stuff you guys post, and even the stuff that I would not want in my home … I love that it makes me think about the human who made it, why they made it, what it meant to them and the time they lived. I may eventually have more adult art, but I am also from the school of thought - If you’re not having fun, then WTF are you doing anything for.
It is fun for me to respect and appreciate talent. Love recognizing that human are expressing their soul on canvas/clay/whatever. All awesomeness.
you and I have much the same tastes in the nautical themed art, but I have always loved many pieces of art by different Artists …even stuff from Frank Frazzetta , and Boris …fantasy art, to Native American , a lot of different things, I wish I had the space and the money TO buy more Art. I like actual paintings done by hand , drawings , I like a lot of Norman Rockwell stuff .
Love “The Watcher”. I teach this principle to my clients. You are not your thoughts. You are not your feelings. You are the watcher. You get to observe your thoughts and feelings without letting them control you.
Nice! I’m gonna save this and make a meme out of it for my people, with a write-up.
This is actually a reoccurring theme in art, as most coastal towns the men fished, went to war or the new world, the women would wait for their return. I liked this one for a few reasons, the artist was previously unknown to me and those are the one’s I favor.
“I and the Village”, 1911, MoMA NY
Chagall was declared “degenerate” artist by the Nazi government and many of his works were confiscated and sold abroad for profit. With a help of Varian Fry, Chagall escaped deportation by fleeing to the US.
Gustave Caillebotte, Paris Street; Rainy Day, 1877, Art Institute of Chicago
This one is prominently featured at the Art Institute of Chicago. While most of his art was not that highly acclaimed he was a great patron to the impressionist movement, specifically with re to Monet. He bought paintings from other artists as well, making sure that they could carry on. I bought a copy and framed it, it’s my rainy day painting in my home.
I’m telling you all the DIA a is every bit as good as the AIC, And though it ranks higher than either on many lists I think both are better than the Boston art museum, which is really fantastic in its own right
