🌍 EU🇪🇺 Art. “It’s the only Klimt painting on the market and it’s a key work.” #KlimtsGhanaianPrince
Modest price tag reflects that this #Klimt painting in the Netherlands is a small, unsigned early work lacking the decorativeness of the artist’s later works. #TEFAF

14 lithographs This illustrated book is unique because Matisse’s friend the poet Pierre Reverdy created a text to accompany Matisse’s images. Somewhat earlier Matisse had created a series of lithographs representing one of his female models, and their existence prompted a publishers to suggest printing them as a collector’s edition. For the general design, Matisse followed his usual practice of creating appropriate ornaments and of combining these with images and text in the order he saw fit.

I studied art in Halle-am-Saale, former DDR (East Germany) in 1995. Art university Burg Giebichenstein was superb, as was my tutor Jens Gussek.
But, the town had already then Skinhead/NeoNazi problem (💰 by 🇷🇺).
Now, the German🇩🇪 far-right AfD had Elon Musk performing. www.youtube.com/live/H0wjZQL...

A digital art work from an old Russian Empire time painting (after Karl Briullov 1830s) but with a modern flavour: the figures now have #SiriTheDog🐶-heads and their yellow & blue colours support Ukraine.
Some background: I am lover of Old Masters🎨. Therefore, I decided early on to make digital artworks from some Russian Empire time masterpieces in 2022 but with a different flavour: my art supports Ukraine🇺🇦.
Already before NAFO I played with my #SiriTheDog🐶 as my muse. (I like NAFO, too.)

Against Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Against Assad’s war on his own people.
Against Hamas’s terrorism on October 7.
Against Netanyahu’s war crimes in Gaza.
Against aggression - whoever does it and wherever it occurs.
Calling the new generation of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) simply 'new GMOs' would have been transparent — but such clarity would likely have sparked widespread public resistance to the European Commission’s legislative proposal to deregulate them.
