Yes it is Picasso. He was drawing a vase with flowers in it.
Here is another one from that same issue of Life. This one he drew a Centaur.

I love Rilke.
His pieces are astounding. I have to read the book he wrote about Rodin.
@juggy, aham, nice pictures. In addition to those there's a whole documentary were they filmed him face-on during work, by using a transparent canvas.

Can anyone recommend any galleries in Chicago beyond the Art Institute and the MOCA? I would love to see some of the smaller galleries around town but don't have a clue where to start.

Ladies and gentleman, the vipartfair has begun. You only have to register on the website, vipartfair.com and you can view all the pieces available for purchase. Pretty much all prominent galleries are exhibiting, from White Cube to the Gagosian. Amazing high quality pictures are available.

For those into industrial design, I highly recommend the Dieter Rams show at SFMOMA.

Yeah, it's really great that you can view all the works online.
I'm just trying to get my funds right to purchase 1-2 Vasarely prints, from auctions. The best and most beautiful investment.

I was watching an old episode of Entourage last night, in it they were talking about an artist called Robert Niche, I haven't heard of him(which doesn't mean too much...), but I couldn't find any information on him via the internet. Is he fictional, or not? Anyone have any information? Thanks.

Can anyone put me on some contemporary artists who paint primarily portraits of other people?

Gerhard Richter - amazing painter. paints in a lot of different styles. so skilled
Here are some of his paintings:
he does a lot more than just that work. I suggest checking out a big art book of his in an art library or, if you are lucky, a painting of his in person

saw his retrospective in the Albertina in Wien 2 years ago maybe, astonishing, truly amazing. Here's a video of him while working on an abstract. Shameful to say, but I couldnt help thinking of all the expensive oil paint that he puts to waste....

Just wrapped another painting. I'm not sure if I'm entirely done... I may do something to the background. This is the largest painting I have done yet. 48" x 72" oil on canvas. Continuing my exploration of disconnect.

I always think how i should get back to sketching when i see his work. His use of colour, the compositions, the lines... @$@% is just fire.
Some of his work:
My type of art.
I'll make a contribution to this thread later.

Check out a Hungarian painter you may like, Tihanyi Lajos. A bit more cubistical, but amazing skills.

I like his work. Different, but I can see why you'd recommend.
I showed my work to someone else and they said it reminded them of Tamara de Limpicka
I can also see it a bit.
I'm submitting a couple of my paintings into a student exhibition... I hope I get picked to exhibit work. It would be my first time showing.
