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.
