I opened my book about American artists tonight - 50 American
Artists You Should Know by Debra N. Mancoff - and to my
surprise the page about Henery Ossawa Tanner was torn out.
I remembered that I had in fact torn it out so that I could frame
one of his paintings - because I couldn't remember which one.
So I googled Henry Ossawa Tanner.
He was born in 1859 - and died when he was 88.
But that wasn't anything unusual.
Then I saw it.
Henry Ossawa Tanner died in Paris, France - and that was good
enough for me.
He was an Artist - and he died in Paris.
But I googled his paintings because I wanted to see which one I had intended
to frame.
And I knew the instant I saw it: The Disciples See Christ Walking on the Water - 1907.
...buried at Sceaux and not Montemarte. I'd have to guess that he didn't hang out with a lot of celebrities. :(
ReplyDeleteGood stuff! you should post links or the paintings themselves.
Abso - didja know that Sceaux (acc. to google)
ReplyDeleteis a very pretty city and the housing costs there are exhorbitant?
After the New Year I will look into posting
links and pictures of paintings on my Art Blog - if I can figure it out.
At $149 an hour I don't think I will be having the Geek Squad from Best Buy back. : ]
but i must say he did a knockout job on my art blog and all - i even took notes so that i can finish it myself
Say - Abso - I have a nice painting that I would be willing to sell you for about that much - then I could have him back to help me set it up.
And maybe he could put Classical Piano Music on my new blog that plays automatically like beamish's.
