One painter artist who paints paintings

No way I can pick a single painting. I love too many.

One of the big Dienbendorn Ocean Park Series paintings.

A late Philip Guston (Painting, Smoking, Eating?)

An Amy Sillman. One of the Howard Hodgkin paintings with really long active dates (some were started and finished 10+ years apart). A Thomas Nozkowski.

Yeah, cannot decide, so sorry.

A geometric Mondrian. Not the most original but hey ho

When I was young we had a Modigliani portrait print that used to scare every kid who came to our house with eyes that followed you. That would be a nice one to have for sentimental reasons

We had a print of the Song of the Lark growing up.

It was always just there by the doorway. So it was normal to see it and drink it in with a casual gaze.

I loved how her look towards the horizon along with the blood red sun and falling light gave an ominous feeling.

I was delighted to find it here in the collection at The Art Institute of Chicago.

This thread prompt is actually interesting…

This is the exact consequence if you were to steal a painting from a museum. Once taken out of circulation, its value is only relevant to the owner.

Guston, when he created a stir and went figurative to the outrage of the art world, are some of the most powerful paintings ever in my opinion; and obviously now celebrated. Although, they are a bit too intense for me to want to wake up to across from my bed or to look at while eating but he and Hammershøi are easily my two favorite painters.

Oh, I’m sorry! (maybe French Canadian)

I was using the “actually” as a qualifier for the point I was going to make.

Your post are always interesting and thought provoking.

I remember you posted something about a poet before as well, amirite?

Haha yeah, I was trying to find one and imagining them in my home and I think I’d be disturbed daily. So maybe one of the abstracts would be better.

Although the one of him and his wife sleeping is really sweet, despite the same violent color scheme.
