OSKAR KOKOSCHKA
Oskar Kokoschka, born March 1, 1886 in Pöchlarn, near Vienna, Austria-Hungary and died February 22, 1980 in Montreux, Switzerland, was an Austrian expressionist painter and writer.
From 1905 to 1909, Kokoschka studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, where he was notably a pupil of Gustav Klimt. He participated in the exhibitions of modernism led by Klimt.
Painter, but also writer, playwright and poet, Oskar Kokoschka thus appears as a committed artist, driven by the artistic and intellectual upheavals of Vienna at the beginning of the 20th century. By his desire to express the intensity of the moods of his time, and a certain talent for provocation, he became for critics the terrible child of Vienna from 1908 where, supported by Gustav Klimt, he inspired a new generation of artists, including Egon Schiele. Portrait painter of Viennese society, Kokoschka strives to reveal the inner life of his models, even if it means shocking his sponsors with his acerbic point of view, putting truth above beauty.
His painting, at this time, evolved rapidly. In 1915, he enlisted in the Austro-Hungarian army during the First World War, he was seriously injured during a fight in Ukraine, then the following year by a grenade attack.
In 1917 he moved to Dresden. But a tireless traveler, in the 1920s he undertook incessant journeys in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. His financial fragility forced him to return to Vienna, which experienced major political unrest from the beginning of the 1930s, forcing him to leave for Prague in 1934 where he met the woman who would become his wife, Olda Palkovská. Qualified by the Nazis as a "degenerate" artist, his works were removed from German museums. Kokoschka then fully committed himself to the defense of freedom in the face of fascism. Forced into exile, he managed to flee to Great Britain in 1938 where he took part in the international resistance.
After the war, he became a reference figure on the European intellectual scene and participated in the cultural reconstruction of a devastated and divided continent. Distancing himself from Germanic culture and language, he moved to Villeneuve, in French-speaking Switzerland, in 1953. He spent the last twenty-seven years of his life there. The works of recent years bear witness to a pictorial radicalism close to his first works, in their absence of concessions. His belief in the subversive power of painting, a vector of emancipation and education, remained unshakeable until his death.

Just trying to stylistically emulate something of the feelings a wildlife painting such as can be found on antique plates etc bring.
Its a two shot LDR, both focused independantly for the male and the female duck, (framed the same, but with focus spot shifted, and taken about a half second apart) then layered up using three different tonemap styles, selectively sharpened and blurred, and given a lot of hand touching in photoshop.
I like the effect , but I'm not so keen on some of the colour impurities, most of which were caused by light fringing which is defying all correction in my mouldy old version of pshop elements 3. Ho hum.
Anyway , on the composition I was trying something a little different. Perhaps just knowing nod to the nature of cryptic camouflage. A mandarin ducks form is often intentionally portrayed as starkly clear, at odds with is surroundings, a centre focus of obvious beauty. But the fact is, if thats how they appeared to their predators they wouldnt live too long, so while the clarity is there I deliberately let the form become a little melded. I find one of the biggest challenges about wildlife photography is finding an "appropriate " sense of portrayal. Something that gives an "inbetween-the-lines" hint about the nature and the life of the animal. I like my portrayal to come with a touch of feel and allegory. Its always worth giving a moments thought to. After all I already did the straight shot fairly successfully, can't keep doing everything the same even if its on a theme.
Something about the water quality, the asian duck theme, and the "ibelin" instrumental from the kingdom of heaven soundtrack ive had on a loop for about the past hour really makes me drift away with this one. Always did love a bit of harry gregson williams. I'm off in the forest hills of asia right now in my mind, pans of misty mountains, lush temperate forest, magnolias, cherry blossom, maples illuminating the valleys below, rain on leaves etc, a frog hit by rain dives into a forest coloured pool in slow mo, one of these guys scuttling through a rocky stream bed, perhaps popping a mating call and a head fringe, shallow focus zoom out to a mantis wiping rain from its antennae . Smell the air. Then that bit at 1min 22, I can imagine a tiger and waterbuck running though reeds and shallows in slowmo. Gorgeous.
An imagination is a good thing.

Our world is a village!
I learned that this saying is really true, when we talked to this very kind man, a painter, who lives in Bedheim castle: He and me had known people, colleagues of our ´guide´, for decades ...
As to me, I was a young girl living in Hildburghausen, when I met these people. :)

I just made that up, but these clouds that just appeared outside my window did look like the ones that might have been seen in the work of some of the Hudson River school of painting, don't you think?
NO INVITES PLEASE

菜の花ばたけに入日薄れ
見渡す山の端(は) 霞ふかし
春風そよふく空を見れば
夕月かかりてにおい淡し
里わの火影も森の色も
田中の小路をたどる人も
蛙のなくねも鐘の音も
さながら霞める朧月夜
菜園花前 日薄西山
峰稜遍覽
晚霞將歛
春風輕拂 仰望天際
黃昏曉月 暗香淺淺
鄉間火光 林中綠意
人們閒步田埂上
蛙鳴鐘響
夜幕半掩 朧月夜
(from 「朧月夜」作詞:高野辰之)

A full interview with the Israeli painter Raphael Perez (in Hebrew Rafi Peretz) about the ideas behind the naive painting, resume, personal biography and CV
Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about your work process as a naive painter?
Answer: I choose the most iconic and famous buildings in every city and town that are architecturally interesting and have a special shape and place the iconic buildings on boulevards full of trees, bushes, vegetation, flowers.
Question: How do you give depth in your naive paintings?
Answer: To give depth to the painting, I build the painting with layers of vegetation, after those low famous buildings, followed by a tall avenue of trees, and behind them towers and skyscrapers, in the sky I sometimes put innocent signs of balloons, kites.
A recurring motif in some of my paintings is the figure of the painter who is in the center of the boulevard and paints the entire scene unfolding in front of him, also there are two kindergarten teachers who are walking with the kindergarten children with the state flags that I paint, and loving couples hugging and kissing and family paintings of mother, father and child walking in harmony on the boulevard.
Question: Raphael Perez What characterizes your naive painting?
Answer: Most naive paintings have the same characteristics
(Definition as it appears in Wikipedia)
• Tells a simple story to absorb from everyday life, usually with humans.
• The representation of the painter's idealization to reality - the mapping of reality.
• Failure to maintain perspective - especially details even in distant details.
• Extensive use of repeating patterns - many details.
• Warm and bright colors.
• Sometimes the emphasis is on outlines.
• Most of the characters are flat, lack volume
• No interest in texture, expression, correct proportions
• No interest in anatomy.
• There is not much use of light and shadow, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.
I find these definitions to be valid for all my naive paintings
Question: Raphael Perez Why do you mainly choose the city of Tel Aviv?
Answer: I was born in Jerusalem, the capital city which I love very much and also paint,

Also, the move to Tel Aviv, which is the capital of culture, freedom, and secularism, allowed me to live my life as I chose, to live in a relationship with a man, Jerusalem, which is a traditional city, it is more complicated to live a homosexual life, also, the art world takes place mainly in the city of Tel Aviv, and it is possible that from a professional point of view, this allows I can support myself better in Tel Aviv than in any other city in Israel.

Answer: Most of the paintings of Jerusalem have an emphasis on the color yellow, gold, the color of the old city walls, the subjects I painted in Jerusalem are mainly a type of idealization of a peaceful life between Jews and Arabs and paintings that deal with the Jewish religious world, a number of paintings depict all shades of the currents of Judaism of today
In contrast, the Tel Aviv paintings are more colorful, with skyscrapers, the sea, balloons and more secular motifs
