Another one by Munch: The Kiss

I love the way the two faces melt into one, as in a true kiss.

Steve, some say that Munch was very much inspired by Dante Gabriel Rossetti's painting entitled "Pado and Francesca da Rimini.
Rossetti's paintings are wonderful.

Schigolev Oleg - "Griphon"

Rafał, doesn't this one remind us of something we have already had here? :)

Rafał Janta:
Here's his famous Ceci n'est pas une pipe

I like Magritte as well! There's an excellent essay by Michel Foucault inspired by that painting. Foucault focuses on the role of art in representing the reality and discrepancies between the "represented" and "representing":

Speaking about kissing, I like the kiss which I saw in the museum in Oxford:
Sir John Everett Millais - The Return of the Dove to the Ark

That's kick-arse! The blue's amazing!

And I wasn't familiar with this particular painting.

Fantastic!

Whenever I think of this particular painting, the scribe from "Planescape Torment" roleplaying game comes to my mind.

I can never stop wondering that a woman (Artemisia Gentileschi) could have painted such a scene full of cruelty, with blood gushing out in streams of Holofernes's body.

This is my favourite painting by Salvadore Dali. What is the girl thinking about? What is she like?

Giorgio di Chirico - Melancholy.

A very sad painting. Loneliness in this empty town is devastating.

Jan Vermeers - The Lacemaker
What fascinates me in this painting is the way he showed the concentration in the girl's face. And, of course, the details and colours.

The article from the Daily Telegraph might be interesting for those who like Titian, especially his 'Diana and Actaeon'.

That's an easy one.

She's thinking: "I'm a vertically challenged girl with a fat ass and shortish legs. I wish I had the courage to drown in that sea."
