Now that's a challenge for Brian to meet, if ever I saw one.Originally Posted by stlukesguild
Brian... if you don't get off your duff and post the next painting, I'm going to post some esoteric Minimalist conceptual piece from an obscure artist from the third world.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
One of the most audacious characters in modern history.

Don't know it...
I must say this thread has shown me that i know very little of non-expressionist painting
That's the problem if your interest lies in one particular school of painting. Since childhood, I have had an interest in art in general but I know very little of post WWII painting except for some obvious things by Lucien Freud, Francis Bacon etc;probably because they are English artists. During the post-war period, the Americans appear to have taken the lead with people like Rothko, Pollock, Lichtenstein et al. I don't care for their work but the US publicity machine has made it well-nigh impossible to ignore them.Don't know it...

So now I know to post Post-War art if I want to stump Brian... but avoid Freud, Bacon, Rothko, Polloack, and Lichtenstein.

The fact that there are 12 panels to the screen ought to have made it easier to locate, but although I have looked at some books on oriental art and googled the subject, so far there is nothing forthcoming.
As for Freud, Rothko, Pollock, and Lichtenstein, I think pretty well anyone would recognise them these days, unless they had also produced work that didn't conform to what is generally known of them.

There will be a short delay while I discover how to post a picture without giving away too much.
