Is it by Paul Klee?
Yes it is, Kyriakos. Over to you!
The painting is called Full Moon.
This painting has no title, so only the painter is needed :)

Anxious to find out who it is since I think the painting is very cool. Love the way the figures emerge from the brown cliffs and the man at the base is so diminished in size compared to the loaming figures - awsome!
The Young Lady with Parrot is beautiful - stunning really. Love her eyes!
Hint: The painter was murdered.
What is especially stunning about Rosalba Carriera's portrait of A Young Lady With Parrot, is that is was actually "painted" with pastel.:eek:
The painter was Zdzislaw Beksiński
The title is Morsir
Apparently Beksiński was a LOTR fan.
It can only be a matter of time before Opeth use that as an album cover.Quote:

Sorry... a few more images by our mystery painter:

The above two images are examples of this artist's work that I have come across on gallery web-sites. The works are are indeed on paper. There are elements in his work suggestive of Klimt, Gauguin, Jim Dine, R.B. Kitaj, and Degas... but his current major project(s) builds more upon the works of the great Italian masters and makes frequent reference to them.

I think that you should give the answer and it will be open floor :)
Sorry... haven't checked in in a while. Our artist is English, emigrated to Australia; moved back to England in his 20s where he worked as an art director. he later moved to France where he has been working as a professional artist. His recent body of work, focused upon the nude, has been undertaken in a French cathedral which he is also in the process of restoring.
I'll throw more clues on tomorrow if that doesn't help enough.
