  •      I always enjoy painting with Klimt but there are sooo many details. They just go on and on.
         I have done  "The Kiss by Klimt" so many times and never get tired of it as it is my favorite
         his.  I already did a Klimt with a harp but it was so popular I thought I would try another.
         The Harpist  and the flooring is from two more Klimt paintings.

         I used a lot of Metallics in this one just as Klimt did in many of his paintings.
         It is very hard to capture metallic's with a camera. I used 3 shades of red and over layed
         them as glazes along with deep gold, sienna's, blacks, blues, green and whites. Enjoy!

  •    Inspired by Gustav Klimt
           
       The work of the Austrian painter and illustrator Gustav Klimt, b. July 14, 1862, d. Feb. 6, 1918,  founder of the school of painting known as the Vienna Sezession, embodies the high-keyed erotic, psychological, and aesthetic preoccupations of turn-of-the-century Vienna's dazzling intellectual world.

He has been called the preeminent exponent of ART NOUVEAU. Klimt began (1883) as an artist-decorator in association with his brother and Franz Matsoh. In 1886-92, Klimt executed mural decorations for staircases at the Burg theater and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna; these confirmed Klimt's eclecticism and broadened his range of historical references. Klimt was a co-founder and the first president of the Vienna Secession, a group of modernist architects and artists who organized their own exhibition society and gave rise to the SECESSION MOVEMENT, or the Viennese version of Art Nouveau. He was also a frequent contributor to Ver Sacrum, the group's journal. The primal forces of sexuality, regeneration, love, and death form the dominant themes of Klimt's work. His paintings of femme fatales

I ever get tired of painting with Picasso. I love

researching him over and over and evry time I do I find

another of his paintings that I have not seen before.

I found this one of his lady playing the lute and

misplaced the photo so I am not sure of the title.

The nude is my take of one of Picasso's nudes

I thought a night scene would be cool with

the nude relaxing in the moonlight while being 

serenaded by the lute player. Just had to add the

kitty relaxing in his basket too!

Enjoy!

Henri's Harem, "Painting Inspired by Henri Matisse", by k Madison Moore

I have such an attraction for Matisse. He was so passionate about
his work. He used such bold colors and mixed patterns with
 patterns and painted table tops facing the viewer as it was more
 important for the elements on the table to be painted.

I was reading about Matisse's Models and came up with this

idea. In this painting I did my take on many of his models.

I made many color and patten changes and changed the facial

features. The flowers, vases, checkerboard, table, furniture 

and wall patterns are inspired by different Matisse paintings.

He had a passion for painting woman in sheer tops and harem

pants. Maybe he wished for a harem...or maybe he had one!

He was hard to model for and went through many,

many models. See a great article I have included below

from the Smithsonian about Matisse and his models.

I thought it would be great to give Henri his Harem lying 

around sipping wine while Henri peeps in.

Enjoy " Henri's Harem"

 Matisse and His Models

The French expression for thunderbolt—coup de foudre—means “love at first sight,” with all the undertones of violence and risk that were an intrinsic part of Matisse’s passion for painting. Anxiety and dread hung over his studio sessions. Toward the end of his life he told an interviewer that each canvas began as a flirtation and ended up as a rape. He said it was himself, not his subject—or rather it was the feelings his subject aroused in him—that had to be raped. The subject itself could be fruit, flowers or a fabric screen, as often as a human sitter. The young women who posed for him all learned to live and work in the atmosphere of almost unbearable tension generated by Matisse’s effort to express his emotions on canvas—an effort that drained all his strength.

It was precisely his aura of desperation and danger that had first attracted Matisse’s wife, Amélie, who posed for or presided over every one of the great revolutionary canvases he produced in the first years of the 20th century. “As for me, I’m in my element when the house burns down,” she said coolly, in response to the howls of outrage provoked by her husband’s work.

Matisse’s reputation as a Modernist leader was built on this sort of shock. So his followers saw it as an unforgivable betrayal when he moved from Paris to Nice ten years later and started painting good-looking young women in transparent tops and harem pants lounging on cushioned divans.

Matisse himself knew perfectly well that the erotic charge in his work came from a passionate desire that overrode straightforward lust. It was painting itself that seduced him over and over again with each fresh canvas. In old age when he was too weak to stand all day at the easel, he feared going blind as well “because of having flirted for too long . . . with these enchanted colors.”
All his life Matisse drove his models as well as himself to the limits of endurance. He insisted it was better to risk ruining a painting than be satisfied with a surface likeness. It’s always necessary to force your whole being beyond this stage, he told his daughter, Marguerite, because it’s only then that you start to make discoveries, and tear yourself apart in the process.

SOLD

I am always looking for new artist that I can study

and paint with. Kees von Dongan caught my eye.

I love his flair for beautiful woman caught my eye.

However, I could not decide on just one or two

of his beauties so I decided to use four in one painting.

They all look so relaxed and mellow. Nice wine, art and

music to enjoy together. The painting on the wall is

Kees Van Dongen: Tango or The Tango of the Archangel,

ca. 1923 - 1935 and a very interesting composition.

Here is a beautiful site with may of his paintings that

 I used for this piece.

If you have an artist that you would like to see in an

Art within Art painting other than the artists I have already

painted please leave a comment or send me an email.

You will not be under any obligations to purchase the

painting.  I like to have input from my fans and collectors.

Kees van Dongen, it turns out, was a Dutch painter, born in
 Rotterdam on 26 January 1877, at, according to Astrodatabank,
7am. He moved to Paris in his twenties and achieved some success,
using inspiration from the raw sensuality he found in that great city.


Van Dongen can be seen an observer of society, from the bohemian
world through to the “cocktail age,” his work is influenced by the
scandalous and urban world of cabaret, the circus and women, very
different from the landscape Fauvism (often associated with this
movement) and later ventures into the Parisian high society and his
 representation of the Roaring Twenties.  For more information in this
exhibit, please visit The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Most Fantastic Garden!. by k Madison Moore

  

I thought everyone would enjoy this.
Have a great Holiday weekend Everyone
M:)



For years many have passed this house and marveled at the floral display at 3725 No. Vassault St. in Tacoma . Last year there was no display and we had wondered if the Asian man who owns this house was ill. This year the display was back in force and we stopped this past Sunday to photograph it. We went up to the owner and told him how much we had enjoyed his garden all these years and he invited us to tour his creation. We found the backyard to be as beautiful as the front. He is Vietnamese, shy, very soft spoken, and speaks very little English, so we couldn't discuss too much with him about the garden.
 

View from the street, which always catches our attention. 

As you can see a lot of the flowers are in pots.

I guess this is so they can be changed easily. 

The front of the house is not neglected,either.

I wonder if he takes the pots in at night to keep them 

from being stolen. 

 

Here is the master gardener! I wish we could have communicated.

I will print up some of these photos and give them to him. 

 

 

 Look at how precise the hanging pots are lined up. 

 

Entrance to the backyard.

And here is the backyard. WOW! 

More hanging baskets. 

And more baskets.
  

   A hand shows the size. It is hard to believe this is one man's work

           and I believe he must work on it every day, all day long.

What an accomplishment.
