It *is* suspicious ... Clearly not a well planned heist... Very slug-like.

I heard that the red sky in that painting was due to the effects of
Krakatoa blowing its top half a world away. A truly interesting piece of
work at any rate.

Nah, it's a pisspoor piece of work and the painter was a psycho, no
wonder the tools for the Scream were crayons (really).

The 'crayons' he used weren't the kind the kids use in school. There are
lots of crayons that professional artists use. High dollar ones, too.

Ya got yer Pastel crayons, Graphite crayons, Aquarelle crayons,
Monochrome crayons, Oil crayons and Conte crayons. The word crayon
describes most any medium in 'stick' form.

FWIW, I taught elementary art many years ago, and I saw some amazing
artwork that kids made using good ol' Crayola crayons. Wish I'da kept
some of it.

I don't care if they cost a grand a piece, they were just plain wax
crayons fer chrissakes, i.e. they were soft as he wasn't allowed to dick
around with any sharp objects in the loony bin when he made that piece
of shi^L^L^L art.

What a coincedence.

I Munched on the girlfriends' masterpiece last night and
she let out a little Scream, so I asked "ya want me to stop"?

She replied "No-rrr-way."

You have "issues" about what _you_ consider art, and I could care less.
And it wasn't just "wax Crayons" that he and many other great "supposed
"artists" also used what are also called "Tempura and Pastels".

Your issue with him is not the medium he used.

You hate that Norwegian!

You cared enough to reply, m'friend : )

And here I was thinking that tempura was a japanese dish not often used
as an art media.

Whatever, "A crayon by any other name..." The Scream was done using wax
crayons and tempera, neither of the materials are known for being obtuse
enough to be able to use as something to hurt yourself or the surroundings.


> Your issue with him is not the medium he used.

: ) You got that right at least. Praytell, do you think my "issue" is
with Munch or with the sheeps who interpret the Scream as art?


> You hate that Norwegian!

Eh, Panhead, please don't state things about me as facts that you have
no idea about. Along that line, please don't use "Norwegian" as a hint
for a qualifier for things I do not like.

"You cared enough to reply" and I bet that you "care" enough about this
post to do so again.

Yep. Tempura is a Japanese style of cooking. Usually seafood (big
surprise!) or veggies dipped in a thin, light batter and fried. The
Japanese learned it from the Portugese, oddly enough. What Pinhead, who'd
like to mislead you into thinking he's actually capable of carrying on a
discussion about art, is trying to talk about is _tempera_, which is whole
different kettle of fish. The only thing that _tempura_ and _tempera_
really have in common other than coincidental spelling, is eggs. Really.

Kinda dumb looking if ya ask me. (I know...no one asked me.) FWIW, it
wasn't done with crayons. It was done with tempera and pastels. Pastels
are sometimes lumped together in the 'crayon' family, but they are
essentially fine, soft chalk.

And - most artists are crazy in one way or another. Fricken Van Gogh cut
off his ear and sent it to his girlfriend. Like the comedian Bill Hicks
said about that, "Wouldn't that make a dozen roses look like a booger!?
Why the hell did you do that, Vince? And Van Gogh says 'What?'"

That goofball Dali used to through himself down flights of stairs to get

Like John Cleese (playing the Pope) said to Eric Idle (playing Michelangelo)
"I don't know much about art, but I know what I like."

: ) Sorry, I was playing a game. I know tempura well and Munch using
tempera was part of me reply to Panhead. Played around with that stuff
myself but somehow it ended up on my face.

I was kinda surprised about Panhead going at it with about the only

My understanding is that the Scream was actually done with wax crayons
and tempera but I could be wrong of course but it sure did look like wax
crayons the last time I saw it. Chalk, wax, whatever. "Pastel" is chalk
crayon ain't it?

We all are. But what is an artist?

But he also painted some solid and attractive stuff that wasn't all
about pushing his own dark psychological agony onto the audience. For
locals in that category, Ingmar Bergman is right up there with Munch.

I've never seen it, so you know more about it than me, then. Studied
lots of that stuff, but haven't seen many originals. Anyway, when I was
in school my prof said it was pastel...but he could be wrong. In fact,
he probably was. (insert emoticon here) Regardless, the piece is weird.

He was pretty good, 'specially the more conventional works he did. My
9 year old son likes Starry Night a lot. They studied it in school
last year, and he started drawing it himself, so I bought a print of it
and put it in his room. Just so he won't cut off his ear, I took away
his pocket knife.

Ooh! Ooh! Here's a link to a big ass replica of Van Gogh's Sunflowers
in Goodland KS.

Never was too crazy about Christo, but I, too, like Dali. Great mustache!
He did some very good 'traditional' paintings as well as his surrealistic
stuff. Don't know why, but I always liked Titian - especially his portraits.
He painted lots of Rubenesque ladies, but they never did much for me.

My all-time favorite is Andrew Wyeth. A genius with watercolor.

I've always wanted to drink beer with the guys that did the Looney Tunes
cartoons. (Foghorn Leghorn, Road Runner, Sylvester, Bugs Bunny, etc.)
That'd be a hoot, I bet.
