"A Cat" circa 1904-08 by Gwen John (British, 1876-1939)

Thank you Mona! I love this post! I can't post anything right now but I will soon.

Ok, I am ready to post. Since the latest posts were mostly aquarelles I will continue it.

Here it is:

Here is another picture painted by this master. He, by the way, is a contemporary artist who represents a continent which hasn't been exposed in this thread so far.

If no one can guess then you give one or two clues, and if again no ones knows you should reveal the answer ;)

So let's start with something that is probably relatively easy, since it is a famous painting:

It looks like a naked insane man eating a naked headless woman.

This is Australian Impressionist and Realist,
here is the next of his works:

Here is some more information about the artist. He was born in Yugoslavia but in 1970 his family immigrated to Australia. He had his first solo exhibition in 1977 at Eastgate Gallery, Brighton, Melbourn.

I really like these paintings a lot.
The tough thing is, I can't seem to find the titles of the paintings that you posted.
They are all by Joseph Zbukvic and I believe the last one is entitled Seaside, although I may be mistaken. Good pick.

Next up, and I expect this to last a matter of hours, is:

I like your picture too! Honestly. The mystery picture's title is 'Wet day, Venice'
Well done Matthew!
Zbukvic is not a well known artist I felt uncomfortable after I posted it. I was afraid nobody will find out.

Bansky anonymous British graffiti artist, political activist.

Rat you lie!

Since you ended up having to giving us the painter's name, I may as well go ahead and respond. A testament to our poor performance.
