"TheEmbrace" by Egon Schiele.
I adore this painting.
In my imagination, this poor guy is suffering from severe tinnitus, and his loving partner is soothing his head with her gentle caresses.
Right - painting spam. Anyone who knows me, knows i am massively into art (I studied art and architectural history for my BA). So here you go. These are just a small sample of my favourites.
Jazzer. This is one of my favourite paintings. I own a print copy which is on my wall.
You have great taste!

I love murals & street art! Especially the kind of art of that embraces kindness to all living beings & belief in progress

Ey Steph, that's a plethora of different styles, but which seems to draw most of your attention or interest as an art historian?
All of them Christiaan. I don't have a favourite style, but if I had to choose an era for art and architecture, I would probably say the late 19th to early 20th century.
I was lucky enough to study in Austria. It was there I fell in love with the graphics and prints of the Secessionist movement - especially Koloman Moser's work (as above).
Do you have a favourite style or era?

Ah alright, Steph! I also like arts dating from that era. I actually love French culture in large part because of post-impressionism (especially paintings by De Toulouse-Lautrec, Cézanne & Bonnard). If you ever want to visit Lille by Eurostar & you're a big fan of (post) impressionism, you should definitely go to Le Palais des Beaux-Arts. They have tons of those great artists, even Van Gogh!View attachment 45842

These art works are very beautiful. Secessionism is a genre I've never heard of before. But, it does look very familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. The first painting is just a one of a kind, very unique! The 2nd one reminds me a bit of Jugendstil (hint of flower patterns), while the last one reminds me a bit of Art Deco (focus on geometric shapes). Certainly an eye-catcher!
One of my favorite Artists is Claude Monet. There is a show in Toronto this month.

@aura, nr. 3.
@Steph1710, I see both Alfons Mucha and Gustav Klimt there, and some old masters. I like your taste of art.

Two of my favourites (among many) in in my collection:
Salvador Dali - Portrait of my (dead) brother. Depicting a young JFK who Dali felt an affinity for, and was inspired by.
Magnus Gjoen - Darkness of Life is Living Death
+
William Unger - Madonna with halo, after the original by Pietro Vanucci, the old renaissance master. The last one is no longer in my collection though (sold).

Why thank you.
I studied art and architectural history in Italy and Austria. I am well accustomed to the old masters - and of course their protégés.
