Art, anything goes...

[Pepper]

That's because you're thinking of 'Woman with Umbrella' by Monet

 

[Lara]

YES! Thank you Pepper! What a difference! But I do think "Parasol" is correct".
I just read that "Umbrella" was used by many artists that copied it.
It's one of my favorite paintings! That's her son in the background.

Claude Monet ~ Woman with a Parasol...I saw this in a museum.
It was HUGE and every stroke was beautiful. I was totally mesmerized by it.
But I don't remember that purse. That can't be. I think someone added that.
In fact the whole thing is not right. The strokes aren't there and the boy
is missing from the background and it's not the same quality overall...grrr

Maybe it's a parody of her with a designer handbag of today?

@Lara, I checked it out. The painting with the boy was done in 1875, and the one without the boy is from 1886...and there is another one too.

But the one you posted is a fake, as @RadishRose pointed out!

 

[Pepper]

Monet did various studies of the same subjects. He would alter certain things like light (based on time of day), angles, etc.

 

[Lara]

I love love love this. Klimt?

 

[Lara]

But this of course is definitely Gustav Klimt

Find the "disappearing bust of Voltaire" in this Dali- making a statement about the hyprocracy of the church- fav:

 

[Pepper]

It's the first thing I saw!

 

[Liberty]

It's the first thing I saw!

Yeah, if its bigger, like I've got, its harder to see. So much else in the art piece to look at in
the original large size I guess.

 

[Pepper]

Love Dali. He was quite the character!

 

[Liberty]

Love Dali. He was quite the character!

Yes, he was. He was called "his own forger"...lol.

Time Transfixed - Rene Magritte
The original hangs in The Art Institute, Chicago.
I saw it, as a kid, and really liked it.
A framed print of it hangs in my front room.
My Dad framed it, burning a pattern into the frame wood, to match the grain in the original.

Story goes, toward the end of his life he started signing blank prints so as not to have to spend the time at the printing press I guess. It is said that about 1/2 of all valuable artwork of famous artists on the market today are forgeries...talk about talented artists, even the experts can't tell.

Did you ever study the fruit & stuff in the old oil paintings to see how much different it may or may not be from the fruit. veggies and flowers today?

No, it never occurred to me. But I will be looking now.
Thanks, Lib!

You are welcome Rad. Got a gorgeously realistic fruit painting by a renegade Spanish artist I'm trying to determine the value of now. Of course you also can't really look at fruit from artists of the "impressionistic movement" as that is what the art genre is about - "movement"...lol.
Gotta be realistic depictions to do it.
