I don't, but I know where to go to find out...

I thought that too:D
I've just googled her - I had never heard of her before. There were such few women artists at that time.

Snap, Red Hare... The internet is our friend in these things, it seems.

Embarrassing fact: I feel sorry for both the kitty, getting its tail pulled like that, and for the eel too. I also doubt the kid would have been able to get such a good grip on that eel, they're insanely slippery... I probably need professional help.

Aaanyway, this is my 'offering' for the day.

New Home

I posted that as an edit here... Judith Leyster

And by the way, if those two had been my kids, they'd have been soooooo grounded.

Oblomov

All the comments are an accolafe to the artiste... If she encourages that sort of feelings, it a Mistress peice.

It's been said before... the ability of this thread to "new ways of Lokking"

just like the book/

Oblomov

Possible, a clue might be in order.

New Home

Sorry, I got distracted by other stuff....

Conté crayon on paper. 1934.

Red Hare

Is it this - Feline Felicity 1934 drawing by Charles Sheeler?

Awww so cute, reminds me of my own puddy cat! Nice drawing - its all looks so real.

New Home

Yes, that's exactly it. I love that drawing, you can almost hear the cat dreaming.

Ok, you're 'it'.

The cover image is the Francis Bacon Studio.

The artwork is a bit of a conundrum - it's an engraving by Artist A ( not well known) based/inspired by a sketch from Artist B ( very well known). However A's publisher decided to put the signature of Artist C ( very well known) on the plate.

So now if you do a google image search you will probably get Artist C and if you do a google web-search you will get Artist B.... but really whats needed is to find the name of the Art and hopefully Artist A - who made it!

What I'd like to know is, how did you manage to get hold of a picture of my room when I was a teenager???

(That photo is my excuse for telling everyone I have an artistic personality...)

Oblomov

Big Fish Eat Little Fish, 1557

Pieter van der Heyden

after Pieter Bruegel the Elder (Netherlandish, ca. 1525–1569)

Red Hare

Jeepers - that went quicker than I thought, Well Done !

Its a really interesting print - its in the British Museum., The original drawing by Breughel is in the Albertina museum in Vienna ( never been there but its an excuse now to visit)

Oblomov

The flying fish and the fish heads visible hanging from the tree... set it off. plus being a drawing..

I'll make some time this evening and post later..

Oblomov

This guy... lots of famous tritypch, but also into the occult... nightmare settings, given the period a very modern sexual imagery....

Dali may have been influenced.... Possible?

Staying with the drawing, black and white and this is a cropped version....

Red Hare

I think its a portrait of Hieronymus Bosch by Jacques Le Boucq circa 1550?

Oblomov

Absolutely. cirrect.

Well done, the Flemish spelling is with a J..... as in jeronimus...

But, as we're not Flemish...LOL

On with the motely.

Red Hare

The artist who painted the image below is a saint (its true). There are not many artists who are saints.

To continue the theme the cover image is by Hieronymus Bosch.

Oblomov

clever cover, to be applauded.

Red Hare

Another clue is there is a film made about the artist life (creative account) by a famous Russian director.

Oblomov

OK
Let's get the ball rolling...

Russian director: Andrei Tarkovsky

Film Title: andrei rublev

About the painter of the same name but....... one or two possibles but .. the painting....

Not sure.......

Oblomov

The translation of the film title : The Passion According to Andrei

Creative account hmmmmm ???

Red Hare

You're correct so far Oblomov.

The painting is of a well known religious theme - very early part of the new testament!

Oblomov

AAAhhhh

The Church Feasts Range.

The Dormtion Cathedral, Vladimir. 1408.


"The Annunciation"

Oblomov

Red Hare

Yes Oblomov - spot on and well done !

Oblomov

Thank You, red hare, that one was a challenge...

I'll post something later.

Hmmmmmm

Oblomov

European, portraitist, 1635.... it wasn't painted for the sitter.... not directly

Oblomov

The pixs on top have NOTHING to do with the hidden work

gates of Wohan, china, the winter palace, China and the Notre Dame de Paris

Oblomov

OK, there might be a very tenuous link.... but not about places.
