Monday Morning Art

I love art - and come by it from a combination of early exposure to tantalizing tidbits, a pretty strong art-history, and practice, background through high school, and then a few decades of post school years that have involved travel and seeing some of the greats close up. 

As a life-long fan of fine arts, and closet artist, at some point in 2015 I started a Twitter series that focussed on some of my favourite artists. Mostly they were ones from the last 100-150 years. Some broadly famous, others a bit more obscure.  I touched on classical, abstract, figurative and sculpture, with no real pattern or theme other than they were artists that I liked.

It was a bit more effort than I could afford every Monday, as it was fun and gradually took up more than the 20-30minutes I'd hoped to spend on it each week.  Thus, after about 21 episodes of this Twitter series, I wrapped it up. There are two episode #7s – seems I briefly lost count.

But, here for your enjoyment are the artists. Each posting shares a few of their works (usually focussing on the lesser known pieces, when they are a well known artist).  I also add my own impressions and highlight my favourite work.

Enjoy.
