IWR Art Links For 12/17/2007 Edwin Longsden Long [Bio 1829-1891
Edwin Longsden Long was a very talented British Orientalist painter. His female figures are very lovely and his attention to detail is quite astounding. I think his The Pharaoh’s Daughter finding Moses is one of the best Old Testament biblical paintings that I have ever seen. The Eastern Favorite Love’s Labor Lost
[ ] Tetsuya Ishida [Bio 1973-2005
Tetsuya Ishida’s surrealist paintings reveal the troubled artist within trapped a cold merciless modern mechanical world. It is thought that he committed suicide by jumping under a train. How sad. Self Portrait In The Classroom
[ ] Ai Shinohara
Ai Shinohara’s surrealist paintings are also a bit on the weird side, but she is a very talented painter and illustrator, indeed. Drift about at the dream spring, 2007

These are great! I want one for Christmas! What Do You Care
[ ] Hugo Boettinger (via Little Hokum Rag
Hugo Boettinger is a Czech impressionist painter in the tradition of Renoir. Jugend (1918) Drei Badende Mädchen am Bach (1910)
[ ] On the Wings of a Big Orange Fish
This is an interesting set of images by Lotusgreen with people riding on orange fish. There are two images I believe by Yoshitoshi and the image below by Suzuki Harunobu has got to be one of the most famous Ukiyo-e images of all time. Mitate no Kinko by Suzuki Harunobu (18th Century)

Claude Verlinde (via Femme
Claude Verlinde is a much less depressing surrealist (than those above) in the hybrid style of Paul Delvaux and Hieronymus Bosch. I love his female figures. Aphrodite
