@ossobuco,

I stand corrected. Damned internet.

This is the real Delacroix Ophelia:

@fbaezer,

Ok, then..

(I suppose I should add I'm no art expert, snort, just enthusiastic from time to time.)

@fbaezer,

Yeah, I went searching for "Ophelia" and also "Lady of Shallott".
A picture of of the martyr just happened to show up along with
the others.

@George,

I wish I could see it larger but then I'd probably see the source.

Is this latin american art?

Larger pic.
Yes, Latin American art... I'd say.

@fbaezer,

Off to search. See you in a week..
But wait, is this by a Mexican artist?

@ossobuco,

I'd say yes. Though not born in Mexico.
She's so well known over here that I think most University students in Mexico City could tell the name of the painting at once.

Mebbe a search under Latin American surrealist painters, or a look at Christie's auctions may help.

You can usually spot deKoonings "stick signatures" they sorta look like heiroglyphics to me.

OK, it's by Remedios Varo (found it by mistake while looking up Leonora Carrington). Back with the painting title...

Aha, it's Mujer Saliendo del Psicoanalista/Woman Leaving the Psychoanalyst , 1961

@farmerman,

Yes, that's him. I liked that one for the fogginess, poppies and lupines.
I knew it would be you to get it.
You're good to go..

Fb, tell us more about Remedios Varo..

but I need to add, I don't like the Granville Redmond painting. I think I liked it in a fazy repro.

Osso, this is a masterpiece of color. I love it.
I also love your signature line. It summarizes so much of my contention that our experience of life combines objectivity and subjectivity, the mental and the physical. No need to decide on one at the expense of the other.
