Hi Everyone!
This is going to be a short post. Our internet was out for 20 hours and now it's in and out. ODOT did get the main road cleared of trees and is now open. However, Eugene is in an ice storm and the city is virtually closed.
I am DONE with winter already. LOL
I don't know who the artist is but the caption was
out with 2023. I so agree.
Giuseppe Arcimboldo, also spelled Arcimboldi, was an Italian
painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made
entirely of objects such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish and books.
These works form a distinct category from his other productions.
Born: April 5, 1526, Milan, Italy
Died: July 11, 1593, Milan, Italy

Sorry this is so short. My electric is spitting on and off so I need to get off the PC.
Have a weird and wonderful day.

I love Archimboldo and once went to a wonderful exhibit of his work, including enormous mixed media statues (contemporary) based on his four seasons. I love how he "saw" things -- especially back then when everything was so realistic.
Stay home! And if you have to leave, be careful out there!
From the 1500's! Glad you were able to post. Ice storms are the worst.
...stay warm and well and stay put!
Arcimboldo was a surrealist before surrealism existed! So very far ahead of his time.
It's cool to trace the weird back in time.
We're enjoying our snow. There's no ice (so far), and we still have power and internet (so far). I hope you warm up soon.
Sorry you are having problems, it doessn't sound good. Stay safe and warm, that's the main thing. I like the artist ou showcased today, I have often seen his work.
It's been snowing here for hours and it's very cold, so I spend most of my time under a blanket. Look after yourself, Sweetie, keep warm, hugs, Valerie
I've actually see pictures of his work before. Ahead of his time, for sure.
I hope your power stays on and that you are warm enough! We aren't expected to reach double digits for another week yet. No power would scare the heck out of me right now. I guess I'm glad it's not the 1500s--lol! Stay safe and warm, Nicole!!
Winter weather is good day to be creative. I also feature a so called werid artist on my blog.
Thanks for sharing some more 'weird art'.
Take care in the bad weather.
All the best Jan
Fun! I love all of these by Arcimboldo but I think I like Fruit Basket the best.
