Cox painted <em>Gray and Gold</em> shortly after the United States joined the Second World War, and its image of amber waves of grain threatened by ominous storm clouds likely has symbolic overtones. The painting's foreground features an intersection of two dirt lanes, as well as a telephone...

but perhaps the most important symbol in the picture isn't mentioned there, namely the way in which there are telephone poles but no telephone wires, indicating a lack of communicationView attachment 376113

tú no tienes la culpa mi amor que el mundo sea feo
I don't know what that picture is from, but agreed.
So then someone else had a newspaper image of someone in this position, and because I also work in such an associative way, I thought, this image is going to stretch itself to the edges of this canvas. And after I painted it, I thought, it is like measuring your own grave—making art is actually like measuring your own grave. The canvas is almost like a coffin for the figure, because all my figures always seem to struggle with the fact that they are paintings

Yes indeed. A Toulouse-Lautrec influence also.
He wasn't a painter I was particularly aware of until very recently, when his name popped up in a series of novels by Jack Higgins that I was reading on holiday.
Really excellent painter.

Pissarro lived in South London for a bit and painted a few pictures...I like this one particularly for capturing a London landscape no longer there..

The blue is so intense because the semi-precious stone lapis lazuli was used in the paint. Very expensive, therefore the greatest honour that could be paid to the subject.
Yes... its really beautiful.

Phantasm by Robert Oxley (2022)

Seascape by German-Danish Expressionist Emil Nolde. His art was labelled ‘degenerate’ by the Nazis. This meant that he was forbidden to paint or exhibit. In fact over 1000 of his works were removed from galleries in Germany. Ironic, as he was a Nazi and anti-semite himself, and considered Expressionism to be a distinctly German style.
