Seeing that Piero at the National Gallery last week blew my damn head off (though the colors in that photo are way off, the sky is so much more blue, really striking with how arid the ground is).

Seeing this at the Getty blew my head off, esp. because it's mostly rooms and rooms of renaissance and mannered impressionism and then you walk into the room and WHAM.

it's crazy that it's from 1889 too, it feels more like some otto dix weimar crisis of modernity thing

Insane story behind this. A painting by Hamishi Farah depicting a still from a YouTube of a black girl beating up a white girl after calling her the N word - somehow ended up in Jeffrey Epsteins collection and the artist had to go to some lengths to buy it back after Epstein killed himself

I think it was on here, years ago, someone posted pics of paintings by I think an American artist and they were of hundreds of birds in woodland scenes all flying about in the sky. Bird overload. Painted in oils I think.

I loved them but can't remember the name of the painter or anything. Can anyone help?
