Ah Turner! Yes.. his landscapes are ethereal..beautiful..

 

Thanks for participating! Now I've discovered Redon thanks to you :)

 

I only yesterday really discovered the work of Jean-Léon Gérôme... looking at these paintings I feel almost transported back to the times and places they depict

Munch's work isn't something I'd put up on a wall, but interesting nonetheless.

They certainly understood composition.  Many beautiful examples - thank you.

I always liked Louis Wain - he was the madman who painted anthropomorphised cats.

 

Just looked him up. My first thought was: that is some creepy shit. But the really abstract pattern pieces from his later years are really beautiful.
