Name the painting

Moon through Young Sunflowers
Charles Burchfield

A marvelous visionary artist... a mid-west American version of Blake or Samuel Palmer:

Of course he was a local boy who made good... so of course I'd know him.

Now for our new mystery painting:

I have seen it there also, it is a particular favourite of mine.

There are very few of pictures in National Gallery which are not my favorites. Not like in Tate Modern :-) I was there on Friday and it didn`t make a deep impression on me.
On the other hand I spent almost 2 days in National Gallery and would go there again and again then when I will be shoppingggg? :confused5:

Yeah, yeah…I kicked myself soon after I posted it. As I read further about Burchfield in my copy of “American Drawings and Watercolors”; The Museum of Art, Carnegie Institute, I saw that he was a local boy (to you). I knew the jig was up!

Now this current one has me stumped! I liken it to the cut away sectional views of the epidermis with follicles. The earth's crust as epidermis...? I also see geological caharacteristics. Probaly the wine talking.

Two more by our mystery artist:

St. Lukes, in the name of all that's holy, abstract and obscure, will you please toss us another bone?

American "outsider" artist.

This reminds me a lot of some stylised computer game graphics. Very interesting :)

Mt Huron range: Joseph Yoakum.

Now for something completely different! (and easier)

Off the bat, I don't know what that is. But it looks really interesting. Would you mind posting a bigger one? I tried zooming in and it got slightly blurry.

There you go. As you see, it is a little blurry.

You may think it's easier!
Anyhow, just so you know, I am trying.

Same....

Thanks for making it bigger, by the way. :]

Ok first clue: The Artist came from a very talented Irish family.

The Singing Horseman by J.B.Yeats.

“Jupiter and Thetis” - Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres

Give me just a moment and I'll have the next one.


By the way Brian, now that you gave us the Prendrelemick's artist name, I was able to name the original challenge that Pren posted: "Queen Maeve Walked upon this Strand"


OK, here is the next one:

Yes, that was the easy clue pic. The mystery pic was: Queen Maeve walked upon this strand.

I was thinking Charles Russell because of the subject, But its not quite his style.

You are right, but I forgot that there had been an earlier picture posted.

.


Here's a clue: "Zuni"



Gilliatt

After reading up on the Zuni and guessing whose portrait it was:-

Frank Hamilton Cushing, by Thomas Eakins.

Here is my all time favourite virgin. extra points if you can name the model.

The idea came from a book I purchased while visting Zuni some years back, but only now decided to actually read.
The Title is "Zuni - Selected Writings of Frank Hamilton Cushing"
Eakins portarait of Cushing is on the cover of the book.

Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels by Jean Fouquet

Agnes Sorel, the king's mistress, was said to be the model.

I don't know what the infant is pointing at.


And now for something completely different.

Mmmm nice, but is it Art? :smilewinkgrin:

Yes, the artist is recognised as such, although not quite in the same way as Jean Fouquet.

Okay, this is awkward, but that's Jessica Dougherty... Douherty? Yeah, her work. I went to her site and I couldn't find the name this piece, BUT under the pin-up, it said "Featuring fetish model Miss Bianca Beauchamp." Yeah....

Can't find the name! D:

Her real name is probably more like Sally Bloggs. I put it up more or less as a joke but the name of the painting is, appropriately enough, 'Executrice' .

Now you are supposed to post a painting.

The search for the details of that painting, took me to some very odd web sites, or sights.

It appears that Genocide has dissapeared.
Someone needs to take the bull by the horns.
St. Lukes hasn't checked in for a few days...maybe he could offer up the next challenge?

I had this one waiting so here it is.

No idea - but I like that a lot. Not even sure I think it's very good, but I do like it.

And now for something completely different.

Now Brian, you old salty dog, how is it you claim a feigned shock at my posting of the rather reserved nudes of Van Hove... and then you post this?:eek::eek2::eek6:

Not that I'm shocked in any way, mind you...:devil::blush5::smilewinkgrin:

That too, obviously.

Its one of those you know you've seen, but can't place.

Its not the kind of thing he is known for, but it's a Kandinsky - Autumn in Bavaria.

I would have never guessed that... I mean, I suppose I could see it in choices of color, but that's about it. I like this side of him. Great job to both of you. :]

I decided to bring a little levity into the thread and it seems to have worked.
The artist is making a living out of painting male fantasies though I doubt that any of her work will be exhibited in a major gallery. The Tate Modern might conceivably show some examples, as they seem to accept anything there.
