i saw this piece at the Centre Pompidou on Thursday and i thought it was cool enough to photograph it, but now that i am googling her i see that this is not even the tip of one crystal on the tip of her iceberg! OMG

I am rather fond of artists who were called Impressionists. I am also an artist and an art lover! Good topic btw

One of my favorite paintings, which I desperately want as a print in my future dining room. Francisco Goya, "Saturn Devouring His Son."

Most Jean-Leon Gerome paintings do it for me, even though he was a bit of a jerk. But this one, "Duel After a Masquerade Ball" cracks me up. So... serious... yet, so many clowns. The original and the sketch were displayed at the Getty recently - amazing!

And yes, I do like Dali. I also really dislike cubism, abstract and impressionism.

I love David Hockney...I fell in love with him when I visited MOMA in NYC about 20 years ago...

Very sad to find out that one of my fave surrealist/absurdist media artists "Shaye St. John"/Eric Fournier died this year. The creator's identity was never revealed during his lifetime. He was the lead singer for Blood Farmers.

R.I.P. Shaye.
