Photograph by Gary Cross of 10 year old Brooke Shields #photography

Photograph by Gary Cross but pixelated to obscure potentially illegal parts!

What do you think of it?

 Britain's famous Tate Modern art museum removed a provocative nude photograph of 10-year-old Brooke Shields after Scotland Yard warned that the image might violate obscenity laws, according to a report in the Guardian. Police officers went to the museum after reading about it in the newspapers. A Scotland Yard source told the Guardian the visit was a matter of "common sense" to pre-empt any breach of the law. The image was actually a photograph of a photograph which was at the center of a legal battle when Brooke tried to buy all the negatives and stop it from being published. She lost the case because her mother had allegedly given permission for the photo shoot.

painting by Jakob Philipp Hackert 'Die Wassafall von Tivoli' #art #painting #jeremyholton

This painting by Jakob Philipp Hackert 'Die Wassafall von Tivoli' is a bit contrived with the water appearing in such volumes halfway up the hillside, but for me it is surprisingly satisfying.  Partly due to the circular movement created by the trees at the bottom right through the water on the left and then up to the distant hillside.

Painting by Johanne Cullen 'Witness' #art #painting #jeremyholton

Painting by Johanne Cullen 'Witness'  I like this but I am not keen on the way the city in the background has been misted out on either side.  What do you think?

Painting by Lady Pink 'Ghetto Pink' #art #painting #jeremyholton

New York City.- The Woodward Gallery is pleased to show "Lady Pink - Evolution", on view at the gallery from November 5th through December 30th, with an artist reception on Saturday, November 5th from 6-8pm. Lady Pink is the first woman in graffiti based art.  In her current solo exhibition "Evolution," Lady Pink re-masters work she once created as public murals. Lady Pink muses on old lettering outlines which have evolved from three decades of writing. To the cultured eye, Lady Pink's street tag can be identified from the period in which it was deliberately constructed. The colorful POP- surreal canvases today, have her trademark name interwoven throughout the elaborate image, as if to authenticate her mark in art history. Lady Pink's unique personal vision has been communicated throughout her evolution from subway writer to fine artist.

Photograph by Richard Avedon 'Nastassja Kinski and the Serpent' - beautiful isn't it?  I love the harmonious curves.

Painting by Seraphine Pick 'Pocket full of rainbows' #art #painting #jeremyholton

Painting by Seraphine Pick 'Pocket full of rainbows'  Another large painting, in a way  I don't like it very much but then it intrigues me.

Painting by Simonetta Martini 'The flight' 2 by 1.58 metres. #art #painting #jeremyholton

Painting by Simonetta Martini 'The flight' 2 by 1.58 metres.  This is a big canvas and looks as though it is unstretched.  I have done many paintings with figures floating in space influenced by Chagall.  You certainly get a feeling of space in this painting with almost Australian colours.  I would love to see the original in a gallery.

Screenprint by Richard Estes 'D-Train' Great control over space with two vanishing points #art #prints #jeremyholton

Painting by Walton Ford 'The Island' #art #painting #jeremyholton

BENTONVILLE, ARK.- Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art has acquired a major new work by Walton Ford, an artist winning international acclaim for his highly detailed, monumental watercolors of exotic birds, reptiles and mammals. In 'The Island', Ford presents a writhing pyramidal mass of Tasmanian wolves (thylacines) grappling with each other and a few doomed lambs. The violent extermination of the thylacines, which were hunted to extinction in the early 20th century, calls into question who is hunter and hunted in this savage tableau

Arnold Bocklin #art #painting #jeremyholton

I love this.  It reminds me of the relationship between my wife and myself, I hardly think I need to let you know which of the characters is me.  Bocklin's 'Isle of the Dead' is iconic and continues to influence me.

Etching by Whistler 'The Unsafe Tenement' #art #etching #jeremyholton

Its interesting the way he created patterns of triangles in this work and he has lost the figure in the background so that it is discovered does not pull the eye.

Painting by Martin Eder "Ein Jahr ohne Licht - Une Annee sans Lumiere" #art #painting #jeremyholton

This is a really strange and disturbing painting.  The disconnected hand on the left girl's hip, the greying of her hand, the way in which her lower body and her left leg don't quite connect with her body.  The red (blood0 on the right girl's hand and the area of confusion at the rear of the animal.  All set off by their faces.

Pierre Bonnard painting "White interior" #art #painting #jeremyholton

Pierre Bonnard painting "White interior" Bonnard was probably the greatest colourist of all time and has been an inspiration to me over many years.  This is not one of his best paintings but it has his typical patches of colour harmonies and of course his model (eventually his wife) Martha who never grew old.  Always half seen and lost in colour.  Sorry forgot to attach the image again.

Mona Breede "Last Entrance" #art #jeremyholton

 I assume this is a photograph, although it has the power of  painting reminding me of Jeffrey Smart  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Smart It looks posed,but it works.
