…my camera ?” is the question this blogger asked him/her-self. Would he be wanting to borrow the camera in the first place ? sn’t photography everything impressionism didn’t want to be ? Or would Monet be an avid photoshopper ?
So which artists do you recognize ?
I see Grant Wood’s American Gothic, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, a Mondrian painting, some dancers by Degas (not sure about the colour palette though).
An absolute favorite amongst many and a completely unknown artist amongst many others: Gustav Klimt. This painting is called the Tree of Life which has been an inspiration to many artists: Check out this photo, this one and this one.
Interesting video which shows how Picasso eventually managed to paint his famous Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. For many this is the painting that revolutionized and defined the way the visual arts were heading in the 20th century as it wass completely different from anything done before.
This painting by Robert Delaunay that is a representation of orphic cubism (indeed, cubism but with circles) has been my inspiration to create Artinthepicture. A girl (always the roots of my inspiration) told me that this was her favorite painting, so I tried to look it up on the internet. After a long search visiting all the major art history websites, I decided that there wasn’t one site that I thought was great. So I decided to build it myself. One day I’ll find that girl again.
My second post of the National Gallery Grand Tour project in London. This time the photo displays the painting The Entombment by Michelangelo. Nice setting again.

Create your own painting inspired by the works of Henri Rousseau. If only it was really that easy.
A self portrait of Peter Paul Rubens (in Dutch: Pieter Pauwel Rubens) made with over 40,000 dahlia flowers. It was created for the flowercorso of the Dutch town Zundert and afterwards has been made on display for one weekend only at the famous Groenplaats in Antwerp. The portrait measures 8 x 8 meters (26×26 ft). Next to the flower portrait you can see the statue of Rubens as well. And here are some more photo’s.
