http://www.slate.com/blogs/behold/2012/11/22/michael_mapes_breaking_down_photography_one_image_at_a_time.html

What’s so clever about it is, of course, that it’s handmade pixellation in a PhotoShopped world. smile1 week ago

I can’t begin to imagine the patience this artist must have—but I wish I had some of it (not to mention her creativity!). smile13 months ago

Colleen_C_C_Landscape with the Fall of Icarus_ by Pieter Breughel the Elder

This is the first example of an “Old Masters” artwork from the Western tradition that I remember ever seeing & enjoying of my own accord (as opposed to art of various sorts that I’d been shown & told I should like wry grin). It was reproduced in an art & literature textbook that I had in my ninth-grade year.

Apologies for the “flatness” of this image (it has remarkable depth of perceptive & a luminousness no camera can capture, in real life)! 5 years ago

Colleen_C_CHenry Koerner

I find this artist’s piece, entitled “My Parents (II),” very beautiful & extremely moving—the more so after close & careful viewing. Seen in person, the wooden frame enhances its effect.

Edited to add:

I am also extremely impressed by his work “The Skin of Our Teeth (Die Erschlagene)” (also from 1946).

Edited to add:

Some biographical information & images of additional works are available here, in an article scanned in from a 1948 “Life” magazine: http://books.google.com/books?id=DEYEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA77&lpg=PA77&dq=koerner+%22my+parents%22&source=bl&ots=g0siB1hIdO&sig=YThOH3Rk3jA0sduAtKEOgTGPeuU&hl=en&ei=20zPTfuQA6Xj0QGZhYDqDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CDUQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=koerner%20%22my%20parents%22&f=false2 years ago
