Rogier van der Weyden was one of the Flemish primitives. He lived in the first half of the fifteenth century. Like many Flemish painters he had an eye for detail and story. Having lived in Flanders for several years I can see some of the same faces in Weyden’s art as I saw in the market place. (Many quite crude and homely.) Weyden was fond of using a triptych (a 3 panel painting that closes in on itself like a book) to tell his story. No photograph can prepare you for the detail in this work.
In the early days of the 2oth century there was a rise in all the cultural avenues of the black experience in America. Much of this happened in Harlem. Aaron Douglas was part of what has been labelled the Harlem Renaissance.
I love this woman. She ‘s talented. Beautiful. And I think… confused. Which I’ve always admired. And I like her music. Voice.
Joram Roukes. It is as if in the moment we are flooded with all possible images. That fill and then disappear in our memories. Leaving behind what we call ‘reality’. I love these pics. Although I don’t know what Roukes has about chickens. Unless he’s a red head.
How’s your Dutch.
There isn’t much information on Vojnar. His work has this wispy spiritual quality to it. Or maybe its just years of brown outs. I always find it strange to see how many artists who grew up behind the Iron Curtain have surreal work that deals in many ways in flight. Or escape. And the heavy religious images.
This video is quite affective. Music fits the rusty withdrawn feel of Vojnar’s work.

Lovely work by this artist. He is a wonderful draftsman. With a colourful imagination.
I added this video on the end because I both liked the sound and because it is filled with bizarre images.
