Fine Art Friday joins the Friday Feast!

Carol at Magistramater came up with a great idea last Friday; To celebrate and share fine art on Fridays.

I love this idea, don't you!
Feel free to join in on your blog.







Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec at the Circus
read about the artist here

I have know of Toulouse-Lautrec's art for as long as I can remember...but I didn't start admiring it until we saw his work in person at the Art Institute this Spring.

I became intrigued with his unusual perspective. The way he frames a painting is unique and odd. In person, the hooves of the horse (in the above painting) seem to be coming at you.

Isn't it interesting how only a portion of the ring is captured. Only a portion of the clown and the audience and the ringmaster. No one is complete except for the rider.

Interesting.

I purchase a little five dollar calendar every year.

It is put out by the Dane County Cultural Affairs Commission.

I love seeing the work of our local artists.
