This painting, "The Sower" (Der Sämann), was created by Austrian artist Albin Egger-Lienz in 1903. Egger-Lienz, who lived from 1868 to 1926, was known for his expressive style and for painting large, powerful images of Tyrolean farmers.

The painting is a prominent example of Expressionism, focusing on stylized forms rather than realistic details to convey deep emotion and a connection between humanity and the earth. It depicts a lone farmer sowing seeds across a dark, plowed field under a warm, textured sky, a common theme in his work highlighting the hardships and dignity of rural life.

The image depicts The Banquet (Le Banquet), a prominent oil-on-canvas painting by the legendary Belgian Surrealist artist René Magritte, created in 1958.

Magritte used this precise, deadpan realist style to challenge preconceived human perceptions of reality: The Visible and the Hidden. This composition explores what Magritte famously termed "the visible that is hidden." Under normal physical laws, an object placed between us and the sun blocks it from view. By reversing this order, Magritte exposes the hidden sun, defying perspective and rendering the familiar environment completely strange and magical.

What windows

Black and white 10 x 15 digital drawing/collage made with Inkscape. This is just some abstract visual noise for me to practice composing with vector shapes. For this one I asked permission from @garyqueens.bsky.social to use his urban photograph ("Downward #Flow") of some tall buildings, in vertical. Although the highlights of Gary's photograph are the colors and the architectural rhythms of different buildings, I thought I'd at least make the experiment and try to use traces of darker shapes on this image as brushes. It was much more difficult to create chaos with mainly regular rectangular shapes but I did my best to spruce it up with interesting details. Its rectangularity reminds me of some of the very first abstract pieces I posted with this account. It was a fun experiment, at least.
