We are all laughing at work!
Excellent, as always, ((((Registered)))))
Ping to .45MAN!
Hopefully by election time the swift boat vets will have Kerry so tied up in knots & discredited the election won't be close.
That's what I'm hoping for! I'd love to see Dubya sweep this thing.
The eternal optimist in me keeps saying that the reason the Dems are in full-panic-mode is because the polls are not as close as the media pimps say they are.
I'll be needing liposuction if this keeps up!

I guess you would consider me an artsy-farty guy. I consider myself an educated artist. A bachelors in Fine art, and a Masters in Computer animation.
To understand Edvard Munch you must understand an artists state of mind when they paint a picture, compose a song, write a poem...... Art is a doorway in to the soul of its creator...think of a musician like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Johnny Cash, Kurt Cobain, Jimmy Hendrix..all great masters in their own right, but their styles in self expression are completely different.
Edvard Munch had a very difficult life, his childhood was damaged by family tragedies. His mother died of tuberculosis when he was five. At fourteen, he watched his fifteen-year-old sister Sophie succumb to the same disease.
Edvard himself was often ill too. Also, a younger sister of his was diagnosed with mental illness at an early age. Of his siblings only one, Andreas, ever married, only to die a few months after the wedding.
At the age of twenty-two, Munch acquired the artistic/technical means to portray death, ilness, and grief which became an obsession to which he returned again and again in his art.
Also, Munch was chiefly concerned with his own existential drama: 'My art', he declared, 'is rooted in a single reflection: why am I not as others are? Why was there a curse on my cradle? Why did I come into the world without any choice?'
Edvard Munch was a very troubled young man, and it showed in his style of art, impressionism.
BTW: if you google Edvard Munch Images, you can see alot of his other work, Munch was actually quite a talented artist.
Kind of wordy, but I hope that helped some.
Good one my man I love itLOL
LOL!
Thanks for the ping.
I just read about the robbery this morning.
Worth MILLIONS?
Bravo!
Another Creative Conservative.
Beside the fact that the style and Munch's work are unique and innovative, his The Scream has the distinction of being The Most Well-Known Painting on earth.
But I don't think you should be placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds!
Can we email it to GOP friends?
My pleasure. Thanks.I don't know how much it was valued at. I heard about stolen artwork, but not how much $$$ .....
You bet you can.
Kurt Cobain? Jimmy Hendrix? See, most people have a higher tolerance than I do for stuff, such that they become innured to it, and eventually they learn to enjoy it. It's like Stockholm Syndrome. And if I have to understand what some guy is going through when he creates a damn painting of crap, it's too much trouble to be enjoyable. It isn't any better than getting into the state of mind of the guy who drew those cave paintings of deer and guys with spears. Now that's art.
Timing, submect matter, THE SCREAMING - PERFECT!
LOL!!! Very fun, very nice.
