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

I've been a fan of woodblock art for a while:

That's still one of my favorites.

Woodblock? Don't know his work.

Is he related to Roadblock?

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?

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.

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

Is that Robert DeNiro ? It does look like him, and the reflective pose is 100% RdN. 
 
Etes-vous me parler?

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


Nah, Dali could actually wield a brush and come up with clever ideas. Warhol merely recycled Duchamp by extolling mundane consumerism.

Seconded.......I never saw the appeal of Warhol, personally.

I'm far from an art anything, but I do like what me eye sees. And most of that is from people I know and album covers, so far my two favourites are a guy I know, Abraxas (forum user name, not the Santana album) and Celeste Potter, an independent Australian artist and musician.

A couple of Abraxas' works:





For some reason, Celeste's works aren't posting but they're all on her blog here:

Don't know who the artist is.....I just like the 'twistedness' of the pictures.

^ Caravaggio. Google that name, will show great wonders. Great artist, I've seen some of his work. There was something at the National Gallery but I fail to remember what exactly.
