The Visitor: Otto Rapp

A very good friend is in town from the other side of the world (Canada) so I am spending some time touring around Tokyo.  In honour of our visitor, I present this painting called “The Visitor” by Austrian born (now living in Alberta) artist Otto Rapp.  Check out more of his surreal work on Deviant Art.

Whistler’s Mother

Happy Mother’s Day everyone! This Sunday’s image is perhaps the most famous painting of an artist’s mother known colloquially as “Whistler’s Mother”. The true name of the work is “Arrangement in Grey and Black: The Artist’s Mother”  by American painter James McNeill Whistler. The painting is on display at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.
