This is from Mati Klarwein (you may remember him from the Bitche's Brew and Abraxas covers)

Not everyone's cup of tea, I realise.  I like the darkness of these works, especially.  Plus I like Fantasy Fiction, so these fit in nicely with my weird thoughts.

There's also a lot of imagery in some of these.  Especially the "death" pictures.  I could look at them for hours and still find new things.


Wow! I love those. I've never heard of that guy.

That reminds me, the local fine-art museum will have a Otto Dix exhibit at the end of the month that I can't wait to see Smile




Anyone else likes Egon Schiele?

Woodblock? Don't know his work.

Is he related to Roadblock?

He was a painter (mostly in oils), a sculptor and a photographer.

I'd like to correct my previous post.  He was stabbed to death, not shot.  A complete waste of a talent. Cry

It could well have been.  He is Polish after all.

It's also the more tragic that Beksinski was shot dead. Cry

Actually, Ian, I like the first one I posted the most because of the starkness of the blue of the robe.  It gives out a little hope.

I have a bigger and more vivid version of that as my desktop image.

Dark stuff!

I like the one with the pillars though.

Thanks! Dali can f**k off, btw. Like Warhol, he was a far better self-publicist than he was an artist. Blergh.

I'm generally not a big fan of "fine" art (I have issues with gallery culture, but I'm aware this is very much my problem), but here's a few exceptions to the rule:

Teun Hocks. His painted photographic self-portraits never fail to delight me. Part-Magritte, part-Buster Keaton:





I also rather like Kahn & Selesnick, who specialise in long panoramic photographs depicting absurd imagined societies:



I'm also pretty big on Dada and related avant-gardery, but that's more to do with words, actions and art all colliding in one big noisy mess, which can't really be summarised by a bit of ineffectual googling.

I hate art, and that's why I love it.
