Favourite paintings

Here is a selection of my favourite paintings. I approach this art-form, for the most part, on a gut level and have little knowledge of its rudiments or its history. Maybe as I get older I'll begin to develop more of a knowledge of it, but for now here is my selection of favourite paintings at this moment in time.........

Woman III - Willem De Kooning

I have a page torn out of a book of this painting displayed on my bedroom wall. This is also, incidentally, the second most expensive painting of all time!


Four Girls on a Bridge - Edvard Munch

A lesser-known Munch work... I saw this in Cologne and bought a small postcard-sized print of it to put on my wall.

The Garden of Earhthly Delights - Hieronymus Bosch

I have a large print of this in my room, and I often stop and marvel at it. There is so much going on in this painting it's unbelievable.

Dusk - Claude Monet

I have a print of this in my room. It's lovely.

Yellow and Blue - Mark Rhothko

Simple but effective. I have a calender of Rhothko painting in my room, and this is one of them.

The Perpignan Railway Station - Salvador Dali

I saw this at the Ludwig museum in Cologne, and it was really impressive and... large.


The Adaptation of St. Anthony - Hieronymus Bosch

You don't get that good an insight into a Bosch painting at this size and from a distance...

Retrat IV - Joan Miro

My parents have this in the dining room, and I really like it. I have been seeing it practically every day since I was 8.
The Scream - Edvard Munch

You all know this one.
