    You do like Smulka a lot, don't you?

    I collect colored glass so I guess I'm smitten with some of these because he seems obsessed with painting pictures of glass. Glass is one of those things that people take for granted but it is beautiful.

    I do think some of his pictures are rather cold though so I don't like all of them.

    Vincent van Gogh - Girl with Orange

    image

    I am a great fan of the impressionists. The way the use the colors, and the way the use the brushstrokes to give speed to their pieces, they make their works come alive. I like the way their works look realistic but in a closer look you see it's their interpretation of the real world, their impression...

    Aafke, I like Van Gogh quite a bit too.
    I like the way he uses texture, color, and simple subjects. :)

    Even without the title, it was pretty easy to see this Kush painting is related to the well-known Last Supper painting. :)

    I like the flowers!

    André Pielage - Acute

    I love the way this artist suggest people in his work, but you can't fulfil the desire to interact with them. So basically his work is all about unfulfilled desires.

    I think it's interesting that the art you like is a lot darker than what I like Aafke.

    I think it depends on what you describe as dark Justjam. I Have always found surrealistic art really dark. This last artist André Pielage was a close friend of mine. We attended the art academy together twenty years ago, and always discussed our art for many ours. His art Evolved a lot since we last have spoken. But in this work I see the old intentions of his art back, that's why I love this piece. He always felt seperated from the rest of the world and tried to keep contact trough his art. That's what I see in this work. Here is an other one of him... called "Transparent?"
