🎨 International Artist Day 🖌

Thank you Diamond Lim For the tag I personally Have met Ben Hampton and I've always thought that his he was absolutely fantastic You'll be able to See Why when I show you These prints.

Everything just seems to be true to life. He love nature and history.

Of the many styles I like, Surrealism gets more interesting the more I learn about it. Besides Max Ernst, I prefer some of the lesser knowns, like Victor Brauner.

Most enthralling are several female artists who were part of the original movement, but due to sexism neglected till recently. Like Lee Miller, who started out a model, then Surrealist photographer, and later photojournalist for Vogue magazine during WWII, While involved with the famous Man Ray, she created a method that he still gets credit for! 🙄

Also a group of women who fled to Mexico during WWII, the right-knit trio Dorothea Tanning, Leonora Carrington, and one of my top favorite artists Remedios Varo. Their lives were as amazing as their art. The same for a native of Mexico, the great (and fellow leg amputee) Frida Kahlo (who didn’t consider herself a Surrealist, but hung out with the 3 above). All worth looking up to learn about them & see their works of art!

Thank you for the interesting information again @Spinnifix. My late sister-in-law was an artist and her town put on an exhibition of local artists' work, as well as holding workshops with the artists, each year.

Hi @doncoyote, @jojo75 and @MollyS I love your choices of art work 🤗
