Emily Carr (Indian Church)

1. Carr

Carr is my FAVORITE artist! I love all her paintings. YOU Can see lots of her beautiful work many places in British Columbia.

2. Some day I will get to BC and see all her great work up close.

She's my favourite artist too.

3. I had Stone Pine at Antibes on the wall for quite a while.

Any of my Dad's paintings, but I don't post them thanks to the internet copying and stealing machine.

12. Very MTVish!

[DFW]

21. Then MTV was copying my grandfather

He painted that in the mid-seventies.

(A full decade after he ordered the "War On Puberty" to slow down the "Copulation Explosion" )

[DFW]

6. Also, "Sunrise Over The Mountains" by the same artist

Sorry for the bad angle

8. I'm clueless when it comes to modern art.

10. So are we

My grandfather took up painting as a hobby at age 80. These are two of his works.

15. Ha! Was he playing Iggy Pop's "Chairman of The Bored"

when he painted the first?

17. Probably not. He started painting in 1974

He turned 80 that year. The chances he had ever heard of Iggy Pop are slim and none.

[Princess Turandot]

9. Nighthawks by Edward Hopper..

which, sadly, is at the Art Institute of Chicago. (Alas, Hopper sold it to them, since he needed to make a living.)


Nighthawks by Edward Hopper 1942

11. That's a nice one.

13. Call me weird

When I look at C.M. Coolidge's Brown and Bigelow series, I'm amazed at the amount of detail Coolidge worked into these when he really didn't have to.

[Brother Buzz]

14. Boy with Fox by Grace Hudson

Like most of her paintings, this one done from a photograph she took; Grace learned photography from her father in the 1880’s.

16. My fave--Print hanging over my fireplace

[Norrrm]

18. Van Gogh

[Dave says]

19. Here's 3 of my favorites

Pollack’s One: Number 31 at the NYC MOMA. Walk slowly toward it; then backward. The energy embodied within it’s frame is amazing. “Energy is Eternal Delight”, said Blake. He was so right!

Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. Proto-cubists. The women are eery, captivating. They draw you in like Greek sirens, holding you and holding and holding. Also at the MOMA.

Matisse, La Musique. 2 women sitting in a comfortable garden, one playing guitar. Sheet music on the floor. Colors, composition make it a masterpiece.

Some might say it’s dorm room art. But what can I say?, it’s great art!

20. War Bride (Clarence Holbrook Carter)
