I know that sounds goofy, but I really like discrete items.brandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507192624540239249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25632303.post-52246990406472454752009-06-02T11:21:18.513+02:002009-06-02T11:21:18.513+02:00Or perhaps Lady Lilith?Or perhaps <A HREF="http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/walker/exhibitions/rossetti/works/beauties/ladylilith.aspx" REL="nofollow">Lady Lilith</A>?moifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478350237996551732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25632303.post-78310533393364090692009-06-02T10:56:36.372+02:002009-06-02T10:56:36.372+02:00Told you I wasn't an art student... :)
Yes indee...Told you I wasn't an art student... :)<br /><br />Yes indeed pre-Raphaelite was what I meant... the "Place of Her Own Picture" really reminded me of some of the pictures by Rossetti ("Fazio's Mistress" I think)Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25632303.post-31981365324080117652009-06-02T01:58:14.734+02:002009-06-02T01:58:14.734+02:00Do you mean pre-Raphaelite?
Raphaelite would mea...Do you mean pre-Raphaelite? <br /><br />Raphaelite would mean, as of Raphael, whose influential work dominated the later Rennaissance but was considered too drab and formulaic by the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood (of the early Victorian period). The pre-Raphaelites prefered the bright colours and free interpretations of the pre Rennaissance period and were a sort of back lash against commonly accepted norms in the artistic community. <br /><br />Christensen's work is very pre-Raphaelite in his use of colours, I agree, and he certainly isn't bound by any sort of classical convention, though having said that, by twentieth/twenty first century standards, his work is probably best described as 'quaint'.moifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478350237996551732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25632303.post-47483191512981785652009-06-01T13:52:38.483+02:002009-06-01T13:52:38.483+02:00I like those very much... very effective.... and...I like those very much... very effective.... and although I'm no student of art very Raphaelite....Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.com
