More memories of the painting. It was set outdoors with lots of trees. I checked out the link you provided (thank you very much) and it was not there. I HAVE to find it. LOL

I happened upon this late last year and it took my breath away.

The premise is that the artist, Marina Abramovic, becomes the art. Living, breathing, reflective. She sits in a chair, either in front of a table or not, and those viewing her exhibit have the opportunity to sit across from her. She is stoic, silent, reflective.

I think what moved me most about this piece was the people who sat across from her. Some cried, some smiled. Their faces so were so open, so honest.

I have to stop and think of how I would feel in such a situation, or how she felt. To have locked eyes with so many people, to have shared their secrets without a word! Gah! I think the concept is so beautiful.

Here are a couple portraits that I fancied:

And the artist herself (isn't she beautiful?):

Here's a link to the flickr feed with portraits, as well as a link to the MoMA site.

I LOVE the work of Mark Ryden, for technique and for subject matter

musicman · 07-12-2011, 03:19 AM

I love Trish Romance work. The winter scenes, the time frames of 1800/ early 1900. The old houses, huge fire places, horse and carriages. A much more simpler time.

Edward Hopper (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967)...American Painter

He is best known for his work "Nighthawks". The effective use of light and shadow to create mood is central to Hopper’s method and has been compared to the cinematography of film noir. I find the 'starkness' of it appealing.

Most of Hopper's figure paintings focus on the subtle interaction of human beings with their environment...carried out with solo figures, couples, or groups. His primary emotional themes are solitude, loneliness, regret, boredom, and resignation. He expresses the emotions in various environments, including the office, in public places, in apartments, on the road, or on vacation. As if he were creating stills for a movie or tableaux in a play, Hopper positioned his characters as if they were captured just before or just after the climax of a scene.

The stunning reality in his work..

Frederic Remington *

Sculptures

History
Frederic Remington (1861-1909) cast 22 different subjects. The first foundry with which he worked was the Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company in New York. Four different sculptures were cast in bronze, starting in 1895, using the sand-casting method. They were The Broncho Buster, The Wounded Bunkie, The Wicked Pony, and The Scalp. In 1900 Remington began working exclusively with the Roman Bronze Works, New York. They produced his bronzes using the lost-wax bronze casting process until his death in 1909. Remington's widow, Eva, authorized the foundry to continue casting Remington's bronzes, until her death in 1918. By direction of Eva Remington's will, the foundry destroyed the molds shortly after her death
