For #Caturday Botero’s wonderfully oversized bronze cat, Gato (1987), is a symbol of Barcelona.

Botero’s work is easy to recognize by the comical way he represented anatomy in a disproportional yet visually pleasing way.

(Picasso painted Guernica at his home in Paris in response to the 26 April 1937 bombing of Guernica, a town in the Basque Country in northern Spain, by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.) What you didn't know is that I grew up with a copy of this painting in my home, and I was terrified.

April's theme: Van Gogh's Trees (Arbor Day 4/24)
VINCENT VAN GOGH (1853 – 1890), “Evening Landscape”, 1885. Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, Spain.
#arthistory #art #VanGogh #Trees
This dramatic landscape was created concurrently with van Gogh’s first masterpiece, “The Potato Eaters” (in the Van Gogh Museum collection in Amsterdam). The brushstrokes are looser although the deep, earthy colors remain. The darkness here is broken up by the diagonal ditch in the foreground that reflects the brilliant colors of the setting sun and draws the eye towards the horizon. The freely drawn trees provide vertical interest. After moving to Paris in 1886, Vincent rarely used solid blacks in his compositions anymore and his palette lightened considerably.

Why look at paintings of Saint Joseph
In these eight paintings, Saint Joseph is portrayed as a hands-on dad who considers hard work an essential part of human dignity.

The Spinners (The Fable of Arachne). 1657. Diego Velazquez. Museo del Prado. Madrid, Spain.

Everyone rushes to see “Las Meninas,” but this Velazquez at the Prado is just as special.
