Artwork of the day #1

[Gloria01]

Hey guys! I'm desperately looking for this contemporary painter of which I'm rather sure I saw a painting here... Typical for him is painting little girls (I mean REALLY little girls, at the age of about 5 to 8 or so) doing naughty things with grown-ups, for example with sailors. And yes, his pictures do have a slight pedophile touch. Can anyone help me? Karma waiting!

he's an author, no ? ^
the artist of it though would be john bauer

glad u like the matisse, mary-anne ~*
i think it's one of his most "compositionally(?) designed" pieces

 

[Moofins]

^ my bad! I think it was an illustration for it, the wiki always lies! Thank you for correcting me.

^^ I love that artist, Diamond! thank you for posting

 

[GBArt]

I agree. That's not only one of Tolouse-Lautrec's best portraits, it's one of the best portraits, ever, by any artist.

Thanks for posting.

Picasso's drawings are underwhelming when compared to his paintings.

I dont find them inspiring at all
