The exception would probably be Francis Bacon, whose juicy paint is so seductive, I find myself strangely attracted. <br /><br />In my own work, I explore darker emotions occasionally. They are not usually as well received as the more joyful subjects. I feel it is necessary for me to paint them, though, as they are honest portrayals of my feelings.Ruth Armitagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06645146132177812407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-46378996778898591572013-04-04T12:38:03.205-04:002013-04-04T12:38:03.205-04:00I agree, Casey.

But, it they aren't truthful, than not so much. <br /><br />I think of Peter Bruegel, Edvard Munch, Kathe Kollewitz, and before I read your post of course I thought of Goya. Maybe now we have Paula Rego.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.com
