I've been to both Miro and Picasso's museum in Barcelona, and from what I can remember, Miro seems to come close to those slim figurines. Wink

Diane, I would imagine you are thinking of El Greco (who I listed). Boy did I start a string of comments. If I said "leading man" instead of "character actor" what would have been everybody's response? Leading men are generally pretty but not interesting; they tend to lack character. Bob's face could also be that of an ancient philosopher. Such a face!

I remember a great el greco painting at the Prado Museum in Madrid. The scene is a group of family members with three girls all looking at a large painting with a reflection of the painting in a mirror in the back of the room, and a man in the doorway.

c.i. that sounds like this painting, but it's Las Meninas by Velazquez:

mac, You're right. I wonder why El Greco stuck in my brain. I did a Google, and found this. http://www.cyberspain.com/passion/prado.htm

Oh, gads, that is in my top ten, the las Meninas by Velasquez (others have done a version of it)

Diane and I saw an El Greco at the Manet Velasquez show last year at the NY Met (which I think of as the Spanish French show) have my book from the show at work so I can't find the name of the piece. Since then there's been a whole exhibit on him. Oh, to live part time in NYC.

As I recall, and this was back in November of 1996, our tour guide gave us a ten minute lecture on the painting. Didn't remember "Velazquez" at all.

Here's another mannerist, Pontormo -

Andrea del Sarto has stretchy figures too.

Me, I think Dys looks a little like Klaus Kinski, but is more handsome.

Osso, you must appreciate the power in Kinski's face, in particular his eyes. Too bad I was born just another pretty face.

I take it back about del Sarto. Had fun looking through his work though. Yes, Kinski has a very strong face and so does Dys. (are you thoroughly embarrassed yet, Dys?)

You simply have to come to Florida. That's all there is to it.

So there.

I bet a nickel that Diane was thinking of Modigliani. Why? Just because. Any takers?

That Pontormo painting had a similarity to Bob.
El Greco and Modigliani both could have done a wonderful painting of Bob with his strong, weathered face full of character. I can easily see him as that ancient philosopher that JLN mentioned, as well as an academic.

There is a certain resemblance to Klaus Kinsky, with none of the cruelty so apparent in Kinsky's face.

No, Bob would never have been a leading man. There is far too much going on behind his eyes and in his mind. Those pretty faces never appealed to me.

Bob, personally, I think the real attraction at your house was Fred, who can fly! You were just a collateral benefit.
