Well... the artist was certainly from the same time period. He was more known for his 3-dimensional work than his paintings... but his paintings are still greatly admired.

My Gauguin selection was inspired by my current reading of “The Moon and Sixpence” by William Somerset Maugham. I learned of Gauguin's "sexcapades" while reading the introduction.Quote:

The mystery artist / architect is Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, aka “Le Corbusier” (One of Emil Miller’s favorite architects..hehe)
The painting is “Le Canapé”
I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit four of Corb’s built designs; Villa Savoye (France), Notre Dame du Haut (France), Heidi Weber Museum (Zurich) and Sainte Marie de La Tourette (France).
Corbusier also dabbled in furniture design.

Is it by M C Escher? Couldn't find it on Google images.
Nope... Escher worked almost exclusively in the graphic arts: prints.

Hmm...I thought it didn't look weird enough or impossible enough. No idea what this is, then!Quote:

Our artist's background may be quite surprising considering the style of the paintings.
Tower...?
I have no idea, but it's beautiful.
Contrary to all appearances our artist is Asian.
Hello, just thought i could say "hi", if anyone remembers me :)
I will try to participate in the game, if i know the answer- don't know the current one.
Born in Tokyo
Studied at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts
The artist is Minoru Nomata, but I am having trouble finding the name of the specific paintings.
It appears that the paintings are from a series titled “Ruins” (?).
One site categorized the work as "fantasy architecture".
I discovered the artist by searching "surrealist architecture paintings".
Is that good enough?
