Neckface

I really like his style- it is creepy an interesting. He is anonymous, and never shows his face in interviews. I find his use of bright, happy colors in such morbid, evil drawings to be a very amusing juxtaposition.

I love the detail in this scene; It feel like I could look at it for hours!! Complicated paintings like this contain such intricate stories, and I am interested the particularly dismal atmosphere of this one.

Nicholson, William

1897.

The juxtaposition of the goofy little dog next to the angry old woman amuses me. Stylistically, I like the simplified colors and shapes.

I just think everything this artist makes is beautiful. Her style is so distinct and organic. This makes me want to try painting on wood sometime.

I found this piece while searching artstor. I chose it because I have recently become very inspired by the imagery of maps, and want to start incorporating them into my own work.
