here are two images by a British artist best known for his sculpture.... but his prints and drawings of sheep are what I love best

edit: ACK.... damn sig shows up in the jpegs..... need to take care of that :blush:

here they are again:

Lotesse · 02-27-2006, 09:24 PM

Those sheep are so visually tactile - I feel like I can reach through the internet and through the drawings, and just feel the spongy softness of that thick ewe fur... Alas, I am clueless as to whom the artist is.

Is it Henry Moore?

absolutely correct, sun-star

I was certain one or more of the English members of this board would know.

sun-star · 03-01-2006, 03:32 PM

I wasn't sure, but I thought it looked like him.

You might be more likely to get this if I say I'm posting it because of association of ideas...

Lotesse · 03-06-2006, 05:08 PM

Damien Hirst?

Lotesse · 03-06-2006, 11:06 PM

While I await your reply on that, just wanted to post us a new one -

sun-star · 03-07-2006, 06:16 AM

Damien Hirst is correct. And that's Raphael, isn't it - the School of Athens?

Lotesse · 03-07-2006, 11:10 PM

Yes, sun-star! Indeed, it is. Would you like to give us a new one?

sun-star · 03-08-2006, 09:20 AM

OK, how about this:

Lotesse · 03-13-2006, 09:11 PM

Sun-star, what are we going to do? It has been days, and no one has even ventured a tentative guess. John Singer Sargent? Perhaps the style of lighting & colour here is actually too warm and shadowed for Sargent. I really am flummoxed here. Would you like to show us another example of this artist's work, so we can keep trying to guess?

Lotesse · 03-13-2006, 10:43 PM

Here is another to think about while we await sun-star's response...

sun-star · 03-14-2006, 06:05 PM

It was Joshua Reynolds.

Lotesse · 03-14-2006, 06:08 PM

Can you post us a new one to guess, sun-star? I was hoping you'd give us more examples of the artist's work, but anyway - would you like to post a new one to guess?

sun-star · 03-14-2006, 06:10 PM

No, you go ahead. I'm back to a dial-up connection and can't easily use this thread anymore

Lotesse · 03-14-2006, 06:11 PM

Oh, what a bummer!! That's too bad!! I'm really going to miss you here. You're one of the only art-enthusiasts who likes to play here avec moi.

Neo-Classicism at its finest. No peeking at the url, people. Come on, these are easy!! Shah and Hasty Ent, where are you?

Hasty Ent · 03-26-2006, 01:17 AM

not a fan of neo-Classicism, Lotesse.... narrative driven work as well as heavily symbolic imagery executed with overindulged technical facility just doesn't do much for me... I've always seen it as a form of bourgeois pr0n, somehow :shrug:

as for the name of the artist, I'm guessing it's inscribed on that metal tube on the young woman's back, eh?
