Famous People's Art

By

 


Today I decided to try something different.  All of todays paintings were done by a famous person not known for their painting.  The above image is called Midnight Caller and was done by Bob Dylan.

While not all of the art was "museum quality" it was fun to get a different look into the artists personalities.  

Vera did some detective work and came up with the following links to check out on this topic:  jonimitchell.com/paintings/  www.stalloneart.com/  Jim Carry  jerrysartarama.com/

And finally a correction, as Beth pointed out today the artwork I attributed to Prince Charles was actually a painting done for him by someone else.  The painting in the link below is one that Prince Charles actually did.

    Jerry / anyone: Do you have a solution on how to remove the giant blue square that blocks 95% of the screen?
    Is it just me or do all the bulleted links have this issue?

    I don't have any problem viewing the links at the top in

CLOTHING AS ART!

  Top of the Day is the Alexander McQueen & Damian Hirst Scarves collaboration, butterflies & skulls. Alexander was an avant-garde fashion designer & Damian an artist who pushes the boundary of what art can be. This collaboration is such a delicate beauty & so surprising if you know they work. Please check out the YouTube video below that shows the movement of the fabric on actual people! We saw Yves St. Laurent's tribute to Piet Mondrian's colorful forms & artwork from 1965. Mondrian's original painting and the inspiration for the dress is Composition with Large Red Plane, Yellow, Black, Grey and Blue from 1921 and is included in the links. Mondrian painted so many similar works, but this is the one that Yves St. Laurent said he used primarily.  Next we forayed into another Guerra de la Paz piece called Oasis. They created an Eden in found clothing. Whether you saw socks, large scarves or Star Trek tribbles as one of our group mused -- to many a chuckle...
