Wael Shawkey exhibition at the Talbot Rice Gallery Edinburgh. These lovely glass puppets are wonderful, and there is a film made using them all. Pretty hard to get a decent photo of them though.

Had no idea there was an art thread on here so I must share my favorite oil painting.

Back when I was living in Pittsburgh, a couple of friends and I took a roadtrip to Baltimore. We hit up the Baltimore Museum of Art where they had a German Expressionism exhibit and I fell in love with this colorful gem. It’s called “The Circus”. Painted by Max Pechstein. I’m still kicking myself for not buying the print at their shop. :sob: And I’m not sure if I’ll be pleased with a print I’ll find online. :tired_face: As long as it’s engraved in my mind, I guess. :smiling_face_with_tear:

Currently on display in Oude Kerk a beautiful site specific installation (I think it’s beautiful anyway) by Korean artist Kimsooja. Has to be seen when the sun shines through the windows for the rainbow light effects.

What a meaningful exhibit! ‘What do we carry with us, what do we leave behind .. ‘
Happy for you that you caught the colours when they were so spectacular! Wow!!
And to think that Saskia
( Rembrandt’s wife, died 1642) and so many others are entombed in the floor.

Visited a Co Rentmeester retrospective today. Amsterdam born Life Magazine photographer. Hardly knew his name but man do I know and love his pictures.
Watts 1965



Vietnam 1965/1967


His photos of Japanese snow monkeys are edged in my memory.

He did lots of sports and advertising as well. Nike never paid him a penny for this image:

He did Marlboro man too! :skull_and_crossbones: :no_smoking:

@Mno Love these images, he certainly had the eye.
In my book that successfully stopped me smoking -“Stop smoking boot camp” by Allen Carr he states in that All 5 of the Marlbro men died from smoking related diseases. So pleased I dont smoke anymore.

“Frida Kahlo Portrait Sells for $55 Million, Setting Her Auction Record

The surrealistic self-portrait was made in 1940, a turbulent year in the Mexican artist’s life as her health and marriage deteriorated.”

Caspar David Friedrich, Woman At The Window, 1822. Old National Gallery in Berlin.

I wonder what she is looking at and what she is thinking and feeling.

Andy Warhol, Self Portrait. Pinakothek of Modernity, Munich.

I like he was making himself a work of art.
