have a look at this painting

[cheeryface]

i think it's good but dh just put me off by saying he thought it was two women.

do you like it?

this

yuk Chagall .. paints like a child, costs a fortune

friend's family had a REAL chagall .. which they pointed out with great pleasure and pride (as one would) and I had to stand and admire the 'childish simplicity'

this was before I had kids

I swear my almost 6 year old is SO MUCH BETTER

NB have you consulted DH - he has to sleep in there too...

yes, but he wasn't much help. tells me what he doesn't like but not what he does.
mind you, he won't bother too much whatever goes up, as long as i'm not moaning at him

now, chagall looks kinda weird to me

exactly

Bet dh would go for Hylas and the Nymphs (as recommended by Mrs Badger)!!!

I don't like it but the one at the back is definitely a man (half-man/half-something)

The one at the back is a man, torso is not femenine at all.

This is not the sort of thing I would have in my house but is not that bad either. (although I opened the link expecting a StarWars meets the Fairies sort of thing). Chagall I respect, but not as much as to get one in my house unless... it would matched the carpet, or something else, beautifully .

Yes, thanks superbrains it was Chagall. Spent all night trying to remember who it was, so am now knackered!

No
sorry I don't

and it is a quasi sapphic elfin fantasy and no mistake

Its very odd

I love Waterhouse! Hylas and the Nymphs is beautiful.

lol sunnywong

No. Sorry. I think its disturbing.

I love Chagall and we have
this in our kitchen (not the original sadly) - I think it's very romantic (though maybe not in a sex way)

Don't like the pointy-eared lezzer scene much.

Have you seen that tiny church near Tunbridge where Chagall designed the stained glass windows? Utterly gorgeous and poignant.

Have been keeping low profile on this thread as brain is so addled by maternity leave, cannot remember any artists at all, and it is what I get paid for FFS!

However, I also like Chagall, but not the other stuff.

love chagall. this pic is naff tho, sorry.

i think it's amazing how we all have different tastes, although, i think my tastes might be mine alone!

snowleapard,i find that painting creepy, it's the man i think, all contorted! but then what do i know

I don't like it either, I'm with the Wong. (ooh that's got a ring to it, hasn't it?)

I don't think the elfin one is very good TBH, the 'guy's' torso kind of lookos like an extra elbow (not unfeasible given his ears.)
It does remind me of Thomas Kincaid too but then millions of people love and collect Thomas Kincaid and fairy/scifi prints so don't let a bunch of Mumsnetters put you off Cheeryface.

BTW has anyone seen that mad woman on QVC with the fairy jewellery and the 'magic' glitter and the gushing phonecalls?
