[molly bloom]

He's famous for his painting of a minority group's wedding, exotica and for looking at himself...

...also by his hand:

[Heresson]

It reminds me of some sketches by Norblin, but I don't think that's it.

[Varwnos]

I think you should provide the answer, since so much time has passed, and then anyone can post a new painting

[bipolarbear]

What s/he said.

[Varwnos]

He

[Varwnos]

Anyway, when Molly returns we can read what the painting was. However better to refrain from posting non-paintings (in this case a drawing i trust) in the future, since they are harder to name

So here is the next painting:




clues:

-Artist was part of the same circle as Kirchner.

-Has a connection to gipsies.

[Heresson]

that's very unproper

[Varwnos]

You say that becuase you havent seen his other paintings

[Thorgal]

The one posted by Warnos is "Gypsy lovers" by Otto Muller, nice expresionism.

The one from molly bloom is "A Sleeping Girl" by Rembrandt. I knew it becuase it is cassually in a watercolor book i am reading know. A difficult one since it is only a minor sketch and you can hardly notice any special characteristic ot style from it. I think we should post more important pieces. And maybe it is my english but i dont understand the clue: "not the from first continent you might be put in mind of".

[Varwnos]

Correct

The title of the painting is just 'lovers' though (they may be gipsies however)

[Thorgal]

-This one is BIG.

-It was not painted at author´s homeland but further north.

-Marxist

[monolith94]

Isn't that the mural by the guy who married Frida Kahlo?

[Thorgal]

Title and author please.
