Fine Art Tuesday

 

Hans Dahl was born in 1849 in Norway and died in 1937.

While much loved by "common people", Dahl was intensely criticized by other artists and by "intellectuals".

Even today, his paintings radiate joy and burst with youthful vigor. Somehow, he captures the essence of the female-form in the jaunty curve of a hip and angle of an elbow.



On the way to the Wedding Reception.



If you asked any person under 40 what she is doing, they would say she is checking her phone. In fact, she is knitting while she walks.

I suspect that the young man in the boat is going to get kissed shortly after he beaches the boat.
