The label on the bottom of this first one says it's of the corner of a dining room 1928.
It's a pleasant painting and we have a second by the same artist with the label saying it is a corner of the drawing room, though not dated.
The point of all this, and why I love them, is that if you look carefully at the paintings within the painting, above the desk, on the left hand side of the clock is an outline of the dining room picture and on the right of the clock is a representation of second.
I had difficulty with the reflections so I hope this will be visible.
Why that appeals to me so much I'm not quite sure, but it does mean they belong together. It's a little like playing on words but with images instead. It also makes me wonder about the other paintings within the paintings, and where they might be.
These are really lovely pieces. I love the colors in them, and that they "belong" together is just too cool.
ReplyDeleteLovely pieces of art. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteits it mirror reflection?
ReplyDeletei like it!
have a nice week
Just the appearances of them made me loved them and even more after reading your explanation! That's just so interesting that the painter did that.
ReplyDeleteIs it painted 1928 also or is it just a painting of a room in 1928? Never the less, the are simply beautiful and I would be very proud of being the owner of them :-)
I would love to see the painting within the painting. That's interesting. But didn't get to see it. These are lovely though. I love them. They're like embossed or something. Love the color too. I thought too they are what you call paper tole.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be wonderful to find all the paintings that are within that painting. I can almost see the painting you are talking about, can make it out enough to know it's the one.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice Art Exhibit. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteYou have a good eye to have caught that! I don't think I would have noticed it for quite a while. Very clever of the artist!
ReplyDeletethose are pretty nice. i wish i kept my notes from my art history classes, and i could analyze the stylistic qualities to the paintings :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the paintings. That is neat how they have a painting within a painting. Happy Saturday :)
