Oh, yes I know that one. It is not cheap either, but...a new bookfair in November here will make me happy, just to look through it (as I kant find time for bookstores anymore...or I just stay away not to ''harm'' myself?hmmm...).
It is a shame we left this thread on ice such long time, and maybe yes, tis about time to post more here, And finally decide what to start with! ;D wasted enough time on superficial stuff, so... Soon I will post more. Tis decided.

OK, and as promised, an artist I have discovered by chance, and what made me not just pass over his work quickly, was that he didn't stuck into a technique, and what you see in the link below sums this up. In the landscapes, the influence of impressionism mixed with russian traditional ''landscpes'school'' (tis my way of saying that, have no idea if they call it so ) blends in fine manner. Vladimir Sergeev was born in Kazachstan, so no surprise he was attached to that traditional landscape representation. But in the others...you judge, the finesse lies in the eyes of the beholder. www.amsterdam-artgallery.com/sergeev_vladimir/index.html

I have this painting hanging on the wall in my room and fell in love with it first time I saw it, but have no idea who painted it. Really hope anyone can help me find out who's responsible for this masterpiece [ Also made a close-up photo of the signature

It's beautiful , Maris. I am sorry I kant help you with the name though. Can you see all the letters properly , or it's hard to identify yourself the name from the signature? (Bit offtopic, I apologise: I sign clearly my humble paintings,wish others did it too). I have discovered a painter this week, it's a friend of the new girlfriend of an old friend ;D ;D and I like some of his works, mainly the floral and forest ones. Here's an useful link to get an idea. www.bar-paintings.ro/home.html

Bit hard to tell from the photo, but the lack of texture leads me to suspect it's a print (or the artist was careful with their brushstrokes ). If an original... could be almost anyone. Could have been someone's night school project, who knows... If a print, your chances of identifying the artist are probably better. Have you checked the back? Anything written on the canvas/paper?

it's an original, nothing is written on the back unfortunately, only the mystery signature in the corner which I can't figure out. Here are some some artist I like: tatz-tierzeichnungen.de/index.html She was my supervisor when I had my internship in Wolfpark Werner Freund last summer, for her it's just a hobby but she is really good. www.indianenschilderijen.nl/Got to know him at a gathering of Michael Redsky who is a cherokee, loved his work when I first saw his work , not only his native art but also his wildlife paintings.

After these posts I too tried to find his name, Maris...without much luck.. Maybe someone in your family that bought it, knows more? Thematic and native art/painting have always a special place in arts, don't they? I like both of those artist's works you've posted. Nice...

Maris: that is an AWESOME painting! So I'm just as much wanting to find this artist as you are. If you ever find out who it was please do share, I'll see if I can find anything but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. My searching is usually filled with unfortunate time wasted sifting through useless pages. The fact that it is an original makes it even harder to trace indeed. Finding an artist in a world where Art is loved and appreciated by virtually everyone is an extremely daunting task. Even if it was a print who knows if it would be any easier, sure it would be more easy than an original, but again with art prints being done by everyone it too can be hard to sift through those as well... Too bad the artist didn't also leave the title of the work or any further information on the back...

Ivan Bilibin's Black Knight: Used to haunt my childhood, along with his painted friends from other Russian folklore. Somehow I always thought I had been there, in that spot of the woods at dusk...

That's beautiful Heer; am sure that the emotional attachment it gives even more value to you. I got a bit nostalgic today, remembering i haven't been to the National Art Museum for a few months now, and while having this thought passed by an art gallery and that little something made more nostalgic...being in a rush and not having time for that. Anyway, for ''revenge'' I visited another Museum here I love and went to their site for a virtual visit (better than nothing)...had to see this again www.brukenthalmuseum.ro/europeana/etajII/05.htm . And I have mixed feeling for the fact that they are having this colab with the Gdansk Art Museum, meaning a temporary exhibiton: Brueghel -Memling -Van Eyck.. In 2007 they had also other works of Brueghel ''borrowed'' and that was a visual feast for me. Had to write this here, seemed the good thread. Edit: just love the homepage..because of sth easily to spot www.brukenthalmuseum.ro/index.html

TIINA... Do you mean to say there is an exhibition of Brueghel and Memling in your town right now? I have two choices for a reaction - either to cry or to grow crustacean-style eye tubes several hundred miles long so I can catch a peep of those masterpieces. Brueghel occupies a very special place in my heart, for his earthy - dare I say it - potatoism with which he paints the daily peasant life, or his no less earthy, fleshy, voluptuous madness of the hellish Boschian visions... As for Hans Memling... I haven't mentioned his name yet in this thread, but he is a blast from a very ancient and personal past for me. So now you get a special confession. When I was three and four years old, I was in a frequent habit of flipping through a book of his art, and gazing in wonder and fascination at his triptychs of fantastical apocalyptic visions, hellish devilry, and the last judgment - and I remember thinking to myself that somewhere, someplace, this is actually happening right now... Because if he painted it like this, it must be real!... He cultivated in me the love for this fantastical dark unexplicable wonder, and he's the reason I grew up to be the medieval freak that I am

Wish I'd say it is ..but it's not the case. The town where they have that exhibition is over 300km away. It's the reason why I took a virtual path in seeing those... So if you want, we can cry together, hehe.. Well put in words for Brueghel! All this deserves a more developed talk. Gods, these Dutch painters blow me mind ever since I first saw some canvases..like you said too, when kid. And thank you for the confession. It shows how it shaped some things I know you're into...

Big aye on the more developed talk on this.
In the meantime, I propose to brand Potatoism a legitimate movement in the history of visual art.
