the man who faded from love

by David Halliday

Daniel Maclise

Maclise’s work is like a soap opera on afternoon television. Faces are melodramatic. Each painting has dozen’s of stories. All of it taking place in a particular moment. The paintings are all quite unbelievable. Like a collage of all your family members who ever existed at Christmas dinner.

Erik Thor Sandberg

Its like work right out of the Flemish middle ages. Bosch and Brueghel. And its fun.

Leo Patzelt

Look at where you are standing. Then the horizon. It as if the pieces were stamped out on the same machine. They are Dali like. And they are lovely to look at. But they are always giving you the same view. Its like a roast in your oven. From your vantage point standing outside the oven it looks the same as a turkey.

Leo Patzelt. 450 degrees for 70 minutes.
