Starship Asterisk*

Do you have a favorite artist? Today's Van Gough had me thinking about artists. My favorite being Terry Redlin. My wife and I visited his art gallery in South Dakota a couple of years back. That made for a nice vacation. I like Thomas Kinkade also.

I have always found the sidewalk art of Julian Beevers and Kurt Wenner to be amazing. I also enjoy Scott Wade's Dirty Car Art.

One of my favourites is Carol Hoorn Fraser. She often painted gardens, and was in fact an avid gardener. She loved the colours of gardens in the evening and several times she included the Moon rising over a garden. Here's an example ... .

Hey BMAONE23, I don't see any of your 3 pictures. If i click on them to see if the bigger image shows up all i get is FORBIDDEN. Do you see any of your 3 posted pictures? If you click on them do you get FORBIDDEN also??

I added page links to the image titles. Those seem to work fine.

I saw some of William Kentridge's works at a gallery in my hometowm of Malmö and was extremely moved by a combination of an installation and a video. Mr. Kentridge had built a miniature theater with a stage, and the video was shown behind that stage. On the stage was a little moving "thing" with a big "funnel" or "horn" for a head. It looked something like this:



Well, this little "funnel-thing" moved and "sang". Beautiful but tragic opera music seemed to come out of its "mouth". As it sang, a horrible but "roundabout" story was told about a massacre in Namibia that happened more than a hundred years ago, the first "Holocaust". Old film clips were shown of triumphant white hunters in those typical white hats hunting rhinoceruses, and you realized how defenceless those majestic animals were against the rifles of the European men. When the animal lay dead, the hunters celebrated with champagne. It was heartbreaking. It was an animal that had been killed, but you couldn't help thinking of all those murdered people that the installation was about. And then the whole thing was accompanied by that beautiful opera music. I was spellbound and incredibly moved.

Recently Kentridge made the scenery for the performance of Shostakovich's The Nose at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and the audience was wildly enthusiastic.

The Quote thing isn't working for me again so -- bystander says he added page links to the image titles and they seem to work fine.
I still get the FORBIDDEN page, so could you tell me what the images are??

Favorite Artist, American.
Despite being known for his paintings of flowers, I have a taste for two of his works by Georgia O'Keeffe, both seem to me an extraordinary simplicity, evoking the power of believing in order to achieve it.
Favorite Artist, Mexican.
Although there are very influential Mexican painters whose works are appreciated and valued in very high expensive, I like the originality of Rufino Tamayo. Their catalog is very rough, with great power and simplicity of color and texture, always committed to the sky and celestial objects.

When I clicked on the links bystander provided; the picture stayed into BMAONE23's boxes; Pretty neat.

Yeah, i just clicked on them and now i can't get rid of them. I guess bystander used "sticky" links I didn't catch on to what was said before about the links. I probably would have if he had mentioned clicking on the titles, but as i did not see anything different, it did not occur to me to click onto the title instead of the picture. Like I've said elsewhere, it's a long way out to beyonder land.

I'll have to bear that in mind next time

I've just found out that the titles have to be clicked on everytime you come to the forum, if you want to see them. Right now i have three blank spaces again. I wonder what causes that

The images are there for me whether I click the titles or not. Your problem has to be a browser issue. What browser and version are you using?

IE8, But of course it can also run in compatability mode. That's when IE7 goes along with IE8 for sites that haven't upgraded yet. Some things i can't see in compatability mode, some things i can't see without compatability mode. Bmaone23's pictures i can't see at all without bystanders linking and that has to be done everytime.
It's really a very minor irritation.

It's weird, isn't it, that I the color freak would choose a favorite artist like William Kentrigde, whose works are almost always mostly in black and white, and they aren't even beautiful by almost any standard. Well, I would never hang anything by Kentridge on one of my walls.

Great images, all the rest of you. I love that amazing street art myself. César, I love the Sun and Moon painting by Rufino Tamayo.

Seems as though Mexhunter's submissions have been bleeped as well.

I do not know why this happens. Nor could I edit and change the links, so here I put the photos again:
Georgia O'Keeffe:
Rufino Tamayo:
Geetings
César

Thanks! They came in there. When I tried to bring up your links on your earlier post; I got a notice that Yahoo wouldn't Allow them. I don't even Use Yahoo. Maybe is best just to give the url
Orin

I've always been a big fan of M.C. Escher.

Orca, that's a very interesting picture you've posted. It reminds me of what's happened since the Big Bang. Everything looks backwards and bent out of shape.

Mexhunter, Yea! I can see your pictures. That would seem to be the way to post them.

Escher was great. i love his impossible geometrical compositions.


(And here I'm posting images in black and white again.)

Ann

Ann, they can't be impossible. If they were impossible, the last two posts about Escher would not be here for us to see. I may be as blind as a bat when it comes to seeing a black number on dark purple, but surely i cannot see something that cannot possibly be there, right
