Simple composition, simple coloration, but huge emotive power and complexity. #rothko

Not sure how "Old Master-y" the painting on the screen is. Looks like Henri Rousseau trying his hand at nautical art. Perhaps someone better informed can tell me what it is?

Art market apparently rebounding - signs of a wider recovery, or alternative investment bubbles? #gaijinlecter #christies #artauction

Why isn’t teleportation a thing yet?

Extraordinary to consider that the candlelight is mere opaque, dried oil paint. It isn't luminous, or even particularly reflective. That's the power of value and tone.

<A candle in the night>

Petrus Van Schendel (1806-1870) was a Dutch-Belgian genre painter in the Romantic style who specialized in nighttime scenes, lit by lamps or candles. This led to him being known as "Monsieur Chandelle".

Imagine if you'd been there in 1923, setting eyes on on a paintaing which changed everything?

"Just Stop" (Gaijin Lecter), pictured alongside "Away from the Flock" (Damien Hirst) and another, quite ghoulish piece which I am struggling to identify.
