Art: 1 of several

[rumtastique]

Throughout the day today, I will post some paintings. Some people expressed dissapointment that I had never gotten around to them, so I will try to finish out my f-list for the next couple weeks.

Up this week: art for thalionar. Second image potentially NSFW given nekkid Rubensian lady, so I've just put a link instead of the actual image.

Two for you this week, lady.


This is a painting called Water #9 by Lee Krasner, the wife of Jackson Pollock.

It's the Union of Earth and Water by Rubens from the mid 1600's. I think it's just fabulously luscious.

Krasner is playing with ideas like Abstract expressionism, where the goal is to break away from clear representational art, or art with spiritual/personal content, and focus just on line and color, and the emotive quality of the piece.

And you know, it's ok to like stuff just cause it's pretty. Unless it's Thomas Kinkade.

I take it he's the painter equivalent of Barbara Cartland?

my standard comparison is that it's like the "painting" equivalent of Precious Moments figurines.

Who's barbara cartland? (goes off to google it)

Barbara is my guilty pleasure. If google or wiki won't help you, I'll tell you all.

I guess we all have these embarassing addictions. Mine is/was reality tv.
