Caravaggio - David Showing Goliath’s Head

Did you know: Goliath’s face there is actually Caravaggio’s self-portrait!

Never gonna be uncool.

Priestess of Delphi, John Collier, 1891

UGHHHHH Caravaggio.

Erased de Kooning, Robert Rauschenberg, 1953

Rauschenberg asked Willem de Kooning to draw something for him, then once it was finished, he (Rauschenberg) spent a lot of time erasing it.

Hylas & the Nymphs, 1896
John William Waterhouse 

Yes.

The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife, Katsushika Hokusai, 1814

If I had a time machine, I would make sure to visit Goya when he was in his twenties, if you know what I’m sayinnnnn’ *wink*.

The Monk, Goya, 1824

The Wedding, Sandy Skoglund, 1994

Orange marmalade on the floor, strawberry jam on the walls, handmade ceramic roses everywhere.

I consider Sandy Skoglund to be the contemporary photographer who set the bar for artistic photography. I haven’t seen a photographer reach her level yet.

I’ll start this year with one of my favorite non-Goya paintings:

Christina’s World, Andrew Wyeth, 1948

May, Joan Miro, 1968
