Crazy open water painting by Arnold Bocklin!


I like the chaos and madness of this composition, it reminds me of what is going on every time you circle a buoy in an open water race: [Link]

What is it about those orange buoys, they are like magnets?Add Image

Very funny! Salvador Dali liked him too. Right now my favorite painter who paints "cheesy stuff" like Bocklin is Ashley Wood.

Scroll down to see his paintings:
