Carl Heinrich Bloch | Post-Romantic painter

Carl Heinrich Bloch (May 23, 1834 - February 22, 1890) was a Danish painter.
He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and studied with Wilhelm Marstrand at the Royal Danish Academy of Art (Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi) there.
Bloch's parents wanted their son to enter a respectable profession - an officer in the Navy.
This, however, was not what Carl wanted.

Kay Ruane, 1956 | Outside the window

Kay Ruane is an American painter.
For years I've been drawing figures inside a room with micro landscapes out the windows. I think of the drawings as dioramas, or tiny graphite worlds.
At first these drawings were formal in imagery, as well as strictly black and white. Recently, I'm paying a lot more attention to details like the kind of flower, the title of a book on the table or a painting on the wall.
I want these details to relate to specific themes in each drawing, with a dose of humor and sexuality.

Kahlil Gibran: "Sulla conoscenza"..

E un uomo disse:
Parlaci della Conoscenza.

E lui rispose dicendo:
Il vostro cuore conosce nel silenzio i segreti dei giorni e delle notti.
Ma il vostro orecchio è assetato dal rumore di quanto il cuore conosce.
Vorreste esprimere ciò che avete sempre pensato.
Vorreste toccare con mano il corpo nudo dei vostri sogni.
