#art, Bodo’s Surreal Portraits in Black and White

(Bodo Vespaciano, a.k.a. Francisco Bravo Cabrera/actor portrayal/All Rights Reserved)

Here is one that is a mystery to me… well, he made his fortune and then decided to become famous, and he did…

In any event, although I do not like anything about his work, I do understand that he is important in the history of art, as is Yoko Ono… So, here is some valuable information on the man that loved money so much he converted a dollar bill into a work of art…

(Image source: Internet, unknown author)

Apelles… Ancient Greek artist (370 BC – 306 BC)… He may have been born in the island of Kos… He studied art at the Sicyon Art School… He met Alexander the Great in Macedonia and worked in the Royal Macedonian Court. He travelled with Alexander to Asia. And Apelles was the only one allowed to make portraits of the great conqueror.

Take a look and tell me what you see…

#art, What Do You Think of Gerhard Richter?

(Image source: Gerhard Richter archives)

A most interesting (although his work is quite boring) artist, and one who had the highest paid painting as a live artist… Just to show what you can do with a lot of paint and a large canvas…

But this is art history and he is important. And I would like to know what you think…

#art, Surreal? Symbolic? Fantasy? The Art of Remedios Varo

(Remedios Varo/1957/headdress made by Leonora Carrington/Credit Kati Horna, «Woman and Mask»/Ana María Norah Horna Fernández/ All Rights Reserved/Photo source Princeton University Art Museum, Art Resource, NY)

I never really have thought of her as a surrealist… Her work deals more with mythological fantasy, symbolism and literature…

What do you think?
