scotfree Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I used to work for a curator in the Royal Scottish Acadamy in Edinburgh way back in the 90's. Best and most interesting job I've worked in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I think this is pretty stunning - great work by the Dens Degas now adorning my back wall. Check the sig on the pic if you're still not sure of the artist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I am reminded of one of the great Lobey Dosser jokes: "Forward at an increased pace horse or I shall have you painted by Matisse!" Great Line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DI Bruce Robertson Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (don't forget this was the pre-Glaxo, pre-oil basin, post-fishing Montrose of the 1920s and 1930s. The old road bridge across the River South Esk that's depicted in both was actually demolished in 1926, to make way for the concrete bridge which was demolished in 2005). So that's a giveaway that it's an imaginary view. It's taken from near the old Craig primary school in the hills above Ferryden- when you go and look for yourself Montrose is much wider and much less concentrated. Not been on here in a while, loving those Bairds, I'd vaguely heard of him but wasn't really aware of the desirability of his paintings nowadays, sad that he completed so few works and died at such a young age.Strange seeing pictures of Montrose when Rossie Island was indeed an island. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Does anyone pretend to understand Jackson Pollock or any of his work? I mean it's literally a guy fucking about with splashes. Number 17A - $200m No. 5 1948 - $140m - Now valued at $300m Mural on Indian Red Ground - Valued at $250-$300m Autumn Rhythm value $150m upwards: I mean, what the f**k is going on in any of those? A literal garbled mess worth upwards of $1 billion and that's just a few of his several, several pieces. No real skill or technique required, anyone who can 'interpret' this in anyway is quite simply blowing smoke up folks arses as much as Mr Pollock was himself by creating these. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davie2wheels Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Her's one I just finished. Well nearly finished - I'll probably stare at it long enough to find something I don't like and then change it. Then it's either a "yay" moment or a "bugger" moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
