This is not only one of my favorite images, but an inspiration to most of my artwork

I visited the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC this weekend and had a great time looking at the artwork. I only spent an hour there and another one in the Hirshhorn and though, I enjoyed every minute of it, it wasn’t enough time to see and admire all the art work I wanted to check out.

At the National Gallery= East End
Olidon Redon- I don’t remember the title, but a great work

Recently, I have been interested and researching Dadaism and Surrealism and found great works of art representing both of these artistic periods. I pictured a few of them in this article, but there were 2 Max Ernst works that I am very interested in. they are in fact, stuck in my head right now. His work is distubing, but amazing at the same time.

The texture and natural feel to his paintings are impressive

What type of artwork is inspiring you nowadays?
