#art #flowers #photography
​A minimalist, high-key black and white photograph by Keith Dotson titled "Dead Flowers." The image features a single, wilting flower head atop a thin stem, isolated against a stark white background. The petals are dry, curled, and translucent, creating a delicate, flame-like silhouette that emphasizes the intricate textures of decay.

Untold by Julien de Wilde (2018) #art #fineart #photography
A high-contrast, moody black and white photograph by Julien de Wilde featuring a figure shrouded in dark, textured fabrics. A thin, semi-transparent veil tightly obscures the head and face, while a heavy, wrinkled garment drapes over the shoulder. The figure is silhouetted against a deep black background, emphasizing the interplay of shadow and fine textile details.

Girl with a Mirror (1892) by John William Godward
#art #classical #painting
In this Neoclassical oil painting titled Girl with a Mirror (1892), John William Godward depicts a young woman with voluminous, dark curly hair standing against a polished marble wall. She wears a sheer, diaphanous stola of pale yellow silk, gathered at the waist with a darker gold sash, which reveals the contours of her body in the "wet drapery" style. She holds a small circular bronze mirror in her left hand, while her right arm is raised to her head in a graceful pose of vanity or preparation. ​The setting is an opulent Roman interior featuring a multi-colored marble tile floor and a backdrop of white-and-grey veined marble panels. Behind her, two reddish-brown marble caryatids in the form of satyrs flank a recessed niche, and a vibrant teal-blue cloth hangs to the left, adding a bold contrast to the warm tones of her skin and dress. The overall composition is characterized by meticulous attention to texture, from the smoothness of the stone to the delicate transparency of the fabric.

Kay Sage (American, 1898–1963), Small #Portrait, 1950. Oil on canvas, 14 1/2 × 11 1/2 in. #Vassar College #Art Gallery.
In this surrealist oil painting titled Small Portrait (1950), Kay Sage presents a haunting, vertical composition featuring a central bust-like figure set against a dark, indeterminate background. The figure lacks a traditional face, instead consisting of a complex structure of tightly wound, draped grey bandages and rigid, slat-like architectural scaffolding. A small, glowing area of reddish-pink light emerges from the top of the "head," suggesting hair or an inner luminescence trapped within the bindings. The overall palette is muted, dominated by deep purples, greys, and blacks, creating a claustrophobic and enigmatic atmosphere typical of Sage's psychological landscapes.

Arizona Landscape by Dorothea Tanning
1943-47
Oil on canvas
11 x 8 in.
www.dorotheatanning.org
#art #vintage #painting
In this surrealist oil painting titled Arizona Landscape (1943), Dorothea Tanning depicts a personified geological formation rising from a body of turquoise water. The central figure is a large, somber human face integrated into a rocky island; the top of the head is composed of jagged, reddish-brown stone spires, while lush green trees form a textured hairline. A bright blue waterfall cascades from the left side of the rocky "hair" into the sea, creating a white splash at the figure's neck. In the distance, other desert-like rock towers dot the horizon under a hazy, pale sky, blending the arid features of the American Southwest with an ethereal, aquatic setting.

Edmund Koken - "View of a church-yard entrance in winter" (1862) #art #artist #painting
In this atmospheric oil painting titled View of a church-yard entrance in winter (1862), Edmund Koken captures a somber, Romantic scene of a snow-covered cemetery at dusk or dawn. The central focus is a small, arched stone portal with a heavy wooden door, set into a crumbling masonry wall and topped with a weathered stone relief. Looming over the entrance are massive, gnarled ancient trees with bare, skeletal branches that reach upward into a hazy, brownish-grey sky. ​A thick layer of white snow blankets the ground and clings to the stone architecture and tree trunks. In the background, the shadowy, tall spires of a Gothic church rise through the mist, their rooftops dusted with snow. The lighting is dim and ethereal, creating a sense of quietude, mystery, and the passage of time. The overall palette is dominated by earthy browns, deep blacks, and cool whites, emphasizing the biting chill and the solemnity of the setting.

Minyoung Kim (Korean, 1989) - Unwelcome Guest (2023) #art #artshare #korean #painting #green
In this acrylic and oil painting titled Unwelcome Guest (2023), Minyoung Kim employs her signature "creepy-cute" aesthetic to transform a simple domestic scene into one of surreal anxiety. The composition features a vibrant, yellow-patterned tablecloth upon which sits a white plate holding a small, pink frosted cake topped with a single red cherry. Looming over this scene is a large, anthropomorphic black cat—a recurring protagonist in Kim's work—with wide, staring yellow eyes and small, sharp white fangs. ​The "unwelcome guest" is represented by a large, dark, skeletal hand with elongated, claw-like fingers that reaches into the frame from the right, poised to snatch the cherry from the cake. The background is a soft, muted blue-grey, which contrasts with the bold yellows and reds of the foreground, heightening the sense of a peaceful moment being interrupted by an unsettling presence. This piece exemplifies Kim’s exploration of the "ambivalence between light-heartedness and seriousness," using cartoon-like expressions to convey deeper feelings of vulnerability and the "precarious situations" of modern life.

Arend Hendriks (Dutch, 1901–1951), "Cat at the top of a Dark Staircase", 1930s. #art #vintage
This monochrome lithograph by Arend Hendriks captures a quiet, suspenseful moment in a dimly lit interior. The composition is dominated by a narrow, carpeted staircase that leads upward into deep shadow. A thin, curved handrail on the left and a straight wooden banister on the right frame the steps, which are rendered with a grainy, stippled texture that emphasizes the low-light conditions. At the very top of the stairs, peering out from behind a corner in the darkness, two small, bright white circles represent the glowing eyes of a cat, the only sharp points of light in the upper half of the image. The play of light and shadow creates a moody, almost noir-like atmosphere, turning a domestic scene into one of mystery and subtle tension.

Naudline Pierre (American, 1989), For I Will Strike and I Will Soothe, 2022. Oil and enamel on canvas, 96 1/2 × 60 in. #Museum of Fine #Arts, Houston

musemagazine.it/articles/nau...
This large-scale oil and enamel painting titled For I Will Strike and I Will Soothe by Naudline Pierre presents a vertical, surrealist composition filled with celestial and ethereal figures against a dark, cosmic background. At the center, two primary figures are locked in a graceful, twisting embrace: one with pale lavender skin and the other with golden-yellow skin, their bodies entwined with serpentine black tendrils and flowing light. They are surrounded by a variety of winged entities and floating heads with diverse facial features, some with feathered wings and others with wings resembling flickering flames or bat-like membranes. The color palette shifts from a deep, velvety black at the top to vibrant, fiery streaks of orange, red, and sunset-purple at the bottom, suggesting a transition between a void and a luminous atmosphere. Starburst patterns and glowing orbs are scattered throughout the scene, while swirling, flame-like motifs dance around the figures, heightening the sense of movement and spiritual transformation. The overall mood is mythological and rhythmic, blending elements of classical religious iconography with a modern, otherworldly fantasy.
