Artwork of the day #2

[philophile]

This is THE painting that made me fall in love with Munch 20 years back. The raw emotion, the anguish on his face: it was just something I never saw depicted so faithfully before (at least in modern art besides Picasso's Guernica). And that is what distinguishes the best artists from the rest: pure, unadultarated passion, a genuine urge to express your deepest emotions, unabashed authenticity and fearlessness in showing it. It's probably one of the paintings that has influenced me the most as an artist.

Edvard Munch - Jealousy, 1895

I'm taking a drawing class right now and we're looking at Bouguereau quite a bit. Kind of dying at the dangly earring homo archetype being depicted already so long ago.

^That is amazing!

I discovered Dan McCaw in the past year and I have to say I am totally obsessed with his whole body of work. His understanding of color, texture and composition is something that most artists lack, especially nowadays. I love the fact that you can consider him a contemporary impressionist, but there's a great deal of abstraction to his works despite them being figurative.

Dan McCaw - Figures in Landscape, 2021

A two dimensional figure in a 3D Landscape, that's one seriously genious idea.
Jonathan Wateridge - Not In The Script, 2023

Looking thru my copy of Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman and really love some of the pastel illustrations in it by Margaret C. Cook.

There are quite a few, but these two reminded me of the Howard Pyle painting I posted above. I love the ocean lol it's so ecstatic

As someone who often gets desensitized and put on autopilot, the feeling of remembering how art simply comes from inside someone, how they're feeling now, is so profound lol

Feeling kind of romantic... I wonder if there is a group of bohemian art hoes somewhere in Boston à la the visionists I just don't know about ...
