Fannie Brito - untitled painting
oil on canvas - 10 x 7.75 inches
These pages are about the art in my personal collection.
The art I live with and see every day. These wildly varied and very individual art pieces in all formats and sizes and complexities form the visual background of my life. Each piece or set of pieces is explicated on a single page. Some stories are long, some short. Some serious, some flip.
This is the art I know best in all the world. I often know who did it and why, what they tried to accomplish with it. Over my years living with these pieces I have come to understand what I see in them and what I have grown to understand it's all about. I've been looking at some of this stuff for decades. I know and tell the history and geography and sociology and archeology of these pieces. All the ologies and a lot of the aesthetics, too.
It's usually one piece of art or set per page. The pages of J R's Collection are inter-linked by artist, and the index below lists all the pages. Enjoy, and tell me what you think.
Just use the next and last links at the top of this and every other page in this section or the Collection Indexes below to explore my art collection. This is the Collection Index page.
Thank you for visiting my collection.
Scary + Benign Art
Note: Because some art may frighten or put some people off, I've provided occasional, scary art links that jump over some of the more controversial art in my collection, so as to not offend more tender minded visitors. :)
