Spent a long time copying this in an art class once. Always had a soft spot for CDF since then:

I hear there’s this guy called Chris who does stuff like that with mutant Harry Styles and Taylor Swifts. Cannot remember his surname for the life of me. Lives down Sussex way, apparently. Think you’d like him.

How successful/happy with your copy were you?

Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue III at the Stedelijk? Last time I was in Amsterdam it wasn’t being shown (the museum was in that temporary place by the docks).

I was pretty happy at the time, I was “good” at art (I could draw figurative stuff pretty well, though I haven’t done it in a long time), but I realised afterwards that the copy of the painting I was copying from was a hideous version where the colours were all wrong. Suddenly made me doubt any representation of a painting, which is a good scepticism to have I think.

excellent

How about with Cthulhu rising from the depths?

that actually looks like something he would have done as well.

matchstick cats and dogs and whatnot.

(is that the right dude?)

he’s a hack!

The Stedelijk reopened in 2012, but this painting wasn’t put back on display until 2014.

Also a fan of Hundertwasser. He was both a painter and an architect.

His paintings looked like this.

His buildings looked like this. I’ve been to a few of them. They’re mostly in Austria, but I think he had a few in NZ too.

That’s the jobbie.

As I know you are a man of the arts, with a full drawing licence, I will reconsider my opinion of his work then.

Yeah, like this guy.

That’s yer man.

Have you been to the Kunsthaus Wien? Lovely interiors designed by him to show his work, but such officious snobby attendants who don’t like kids being there much, which is a bit weird for a museum dedicated to a guy who was basically a cranky old hippy who wrote things like “The line I trace with my feet walking to the museum is more important and more beautiful than the lines I find there hung up on the wall”.
