Salvador Dali's The Great Masturbator
The center of this Salvador Dali painting has a distorted human face looking downwards. There is also a nude female figure enmeshed in this lump of limbs. The hint of fellatio makes this painting disturbingly sexual.
The painting seems to suggest Dali's conflicting attitude towards sex.
Monet's Impression, Sunrise
This is the Monet painting after which Impressionist Movement was named. Monet depicts the harbor of Le Havre with very loose bush stroke. The aritst seems to suggest his subject rather than delineating it. It was indeed a landmark painting of the 19 th century.
Picasso's The Old Guitarist
This Picasso painting was painted right after the death of a close friend. A perfect example of the Blue period, it is sombre in mood and is overwhelmingly “blue”. I depicts a blind man in tatters,with a guitar in his hands.
Vincent Van Gogh's Wheat Field with Crows
Often believed to be his last piece of work, this Van Gogh painting with its disturbing intensity unsettles its viewers.Art interprators believe that it depicts the artists disturbed state of mind. The dark clouds with black crows create are seen as a sign of foreboding.
Ethnic Paintings is an endeavor to understand these very Artist Paintings and popularize them amongst the net savvy generation, which slowly seems to be forgetting the incredible global art heritage it has had the privilege to inherit.
