Hello Janthefan Those pictures in your opening message, and in message #30, and your avatar, is that Ferdinand Knopff? I seem to remember he had an unhealthy obsession with his niece and made numerous portrets of her. The woman in these pictures reminds me of her, but I'm not too sure. Greetings!  |

Jeff Koons? One of my all-time fave artworks, outside the Bilbao Guggenheim - 'PUPPY'. It's made of flowers, so it's colour changes from season to season.  I've been there and seen it, it's hilarious! there's also a constant dribble of water dripping from it's mouth. The american footballs exhibited in the TateModern are also interesting: whilst working on them, he used the money from his day-job (was he lawyer, or a salesman...? can't remember) to buy bit by bit the chemical you need to suspend these balls apparently without any support ![](http://<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z235/dotcommunist/koons-balls.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>) |

That reminds me of the cezanne lemon &c. still lives in a lot of ways (the texture slightly, but moreso the precedence that composition takes over perspective, and how things seem to wrap about the painter). And if we're going into more abstract territory, I guess time for some Irish cubism, courtesy of Mainie Jellett:  (BAH: low quality jpegs...bugger 'em!) |

Dear, dear Janie Morris. She of the lantern jaw and wistful daydreamy look. I suspect in reality she was anything but, with Bill to be kept in line. |

Ah, thank you! I have googled Khnopff a bit - still, I find the resemblance striking!  The Caress    Marguerite (I'm posting this one, just because it's so beautiful  ) I love these paintings
x Jan x
I agree, they're beautiful. Thanks for posting them! Love MrY |

...yes, this is what was revealed to me shortly after I'd posted by a live artist sanding next to me  !!! ... & I had believed my initial idea about this work for years  but such is life  however the achievement was something else, in that the pressure and angle & everything, caused by the balls , glass & amount of water... is such that the basket balls remain absolutely still and the water doesn't move, an effect which must also have been really expensive   |
