I'm a huge fan of impressionism (Van Gogh, Monet), but that's like saying you like puppies.

A little more off the beaten path is Zdzislaw Beksinski: http://coilhouse.net/2007/12/the-beautiful-nightmares-of-zdz...

His artwork haunts me, even years after being exposed to it. The fact that he uses wood as a canvas makes it all the more fascinating.



This is brilliant. Also, interesting: the Web site said that the father abhorred silence, preferring to listen to classical music. At the bottom, they mentioned that both father and son especially liked The Legendary Pink Dots.

I've included a link to one of their songs; I can just imagine Beksinski painting while listening to this.

That's incredible. I have a small crush on those pieces. Thanks for sharing!


As soon as I saw "haunts me" I knew what paintings you were talking about.

I love his work and thank you for reuniting me with it.


Yeah, that is good. Zdzislaw Beksinski. thanks for sharing that.
