Golden Oxen:
The self portrait of Paul Gauguin shown as the avatar of the Art Board is a favorite of mine and used often as my desktop background.

The Romantic life of this painter has always fascinated me and I always go back to his works for sheer enjoyment.

This portrait represents the proto-cubist style -- a forerunner to cubism.

Golden Oxen:
Maufra never achieved as much fame as the leading impressionists, but his work is enjoyable.  A few favorites of mine.

Golden Oxen:

William Blake

    1757–1827
    Nationality: British

William Blake was a British poet, painter and printmaker. He was also a maverick, rebelling against authority in all its forms. This is clear from poems such as The Tyger and Jerusalem, as well as from his art, where he operated entirely outside the mainstream.

   
     


     

                       Eve Tempted by the Serpent


     

                      Christ's Entry into Jerusalem

Golden Oxen:
Some Art is just pretty and pleasant to look at, relaxing a bit.

Milton Avery, a modern American painter, always appealed to me in this regard.
