Default Girl with a Pearl earring



I've always loved this picture, but never knew the artist.

It is a painting by 17th century Dutch painter, Johannes Vermeer. It's on display at The Hague, in The Netherlands.

I love the simple beauty of this portrait would a woman wearing nothing but a head scarf, pearl earrings and the translucent beauty of her facial features (her eyes, her mouth, the aura about her).

Here's a link to learn more about the artist and the painting:

Miss Katz you are aware there is also a movie right?
A young peasant maid working in the house of painter Johannes Vermeer becomes his talented assistant and the model for one of his most famous works.

No, I had no idea! That's pretty wonderful, really!

Is it on a TV or cable station or on Netflix?

I will add this to my film list, if so!

*Thank you, homoe*

Also Miss Katz a book.............

Tracy Chevalier transports readers to a bygone time and place in this richly-imagined portrait of the young woman who inspired one of Vermeer's most celebrated paintings.

History and fiction merge seamlessly in this luminous novel about artistic vision and sensual awakening. Girl with a Pearl Earring tells the story of sixteen-year-old Griet, whose life is transformed by her brief encounter with genius . . . even as she herself is immortalized in canvas and oil.

Very nice! Sounds like the perfect story to read about, especially how it transformed her life!

This is called The Painter- by Marlene Dumas
I love this work because it reminds me of myself as a child
I was really intense when I would get into the paints!

A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
Painting by Georges Seurat

I like this painting because it gives a snapshot of a much simpler and relaxing time.

My favorites are Pollock and Dali. Their works have a WTF and rebellious quality that I appreciate. They were non-conformists which always ranks pretty high with me. Dali gets a few extra points because his work makes me wonder... WTH's going on here?! … and he was Spanish.

Jackson Pollock

Default Picasso's Dove of Peace

It's hard to choose a favorite, but this is one I really like by Picasso. He created this with less than 50 strokes and I think it's just perfect. I had a framed copy but it was lost in the shuffle.

So much beautiful art to like, like still life paintings of flowers in vases.


I like this one: Roses by Pascal de Beucker (1881-1944).




I also like Claude Monet's Lilac Iris painting... Beautiful shades of violet-blue flowers.



And I also like still life paintings depicting flowers with other interesting specimens we see in natural settings, like butterflies or dragonflies or other interesting species that interact with flowers in nature. For example, the painting below, titled: Ambrosius Brosschaert Flower Still Life.



I like to paint still life type paintings, but it is definitely a challenge to create a still life painting which looks true-to-life. I admire art work by artists who have a natural talent to paint such things. I like to create my own flower bouquets at home, so I might just try my hand at painting one particular bouquet I have in my sitting room. Maybe this summer I will take that on as a summer project, to see if I can create something beautiful.

And the book The Girl with the Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier inspired the movie. I loved the book. It's very short, too.

My Granny had ballerina prints up on the wall, next to the side of the bed I would sleep on. I would just lay there and image....

Saw it for the first time this morning at The NY Times in an article about a show at the Whitney Museum that explores the profound impact of Mexican painters that enriched American culture. I find it bold and brilliant.



“Zapatistas,” Clemente Orozco’s 1931 painting of the Mexican peasant guerrillas in the exhibition “Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art, 1925-1945.”
