That was brand new to me.
I found it more interesting than what he's known for.
Thank you.

he also did a lot of piss paintings, literaly. he got people to piss on the canvas that was covered in oxidised paint. the results are quite interesting to say the least.

And I like Monet's Nymphéas but it's a whole room of them at l'Orangerie in Paris and it doesn't work on a screen.

i remember seeing this painting years ago, it was of the artists mother in her death bed, and it was kinda purple/blue and quite "swirly" by which i mean there was a kind of vortex effect around the figure, and its always stuck in my mind but ive forgotten the artist and name, so if anyone thinks they know the one i mean then id love to know cos it was beautiful.

yes! i saw them too about a year ago, and it's true, you can't describe them or show it on a picture or a screen. they're wonderful.
