Extra much red hair

This post will show paintings where the red hair take a greater importance, than other parts of the picture

Sandys again

This girl is red blond like I used to be, not a real redhead! But if someone saw her together with blond girls they would say she is a redhead.

Helene Schjerfbeck

Paul Cesar Helleu

This is actually only half his picture. I don't know why it is always shown this way,  when it is double this size.

Helleu's  picture in real size

This gives the impression of the size of my Grandmothers hair A woman close to 80 with this much and long hair was impressive , but that it kept it's colour and never turned white was even more impressive.

Unpleasant snake!

Frank Cadogan Cowper

Whenever  a child came close to my father he would would point out. "Close your mouth and look intelligent."
A persons  privacy  can easily be invaded by others .  One way is when someone step over Your line of integrity.
One of those Integrity borders seem to be tress passed , if you walk around with open mouth close to someone else.
Another is to touch people you do not know or stand too close to them when You speak.
To pick your nose in others company or clean teeth or nails with a toothpick as also extremely impolite
This picture give me a feeling that it has passed my borders and I get irritated by that silly open mouth.
When I paint young children this is one of the problems. .It is okay that they never sit still, but that they do not close their mouths is a  fact that make them look unappealing.

Edward Munch


The Sin, Munch painted several pictures with red haired women, I will add some others to the next posts.

Munch also made some lithographs of this motive two of them can be seen below, I found them in the wonderful Norwegian Auction site called Grev Wedels Plass Auksjoner  http://www.gwpa.no/  For those of You who have 100000$ free to spend this is where You find quality Art.

Who bites flowers??

Rossetti



This picture has a problem. One doesn't understand whom the closest hand belong to. The hand which is further away can  be accepted as belonging to  the girl, but the hand which is closer could  belong to someone else. I think this is a mistake.  If I had painted this picture I would have painted part of the the sleeve  green like the jacket, this way there would be no conflict.
