" Dark Green Painting " 1948 by Arshile Gorky
Oil on canvas___43 3/4" x 55 1/2"
NOTE:
After you arrive, click small orange circle at bottom right of
thumbnail to enlarge. Then move horizontal scrollbar all the way to
right side in order to magnify image ( this will allow you to place
your cursor on the image, click-and-hold while moving image to
any position desired ). It's a great feature on this website.
Personally, after I get the super-enlargement I play around with
new compositions inside the given work of art. Just a fun thing to
do.

This link goes to:
" Erect man with Blue Hat "
__late 18th century by Artist/unknown ( yet, he may become
more famous after this posting ).
Colors on paper ....(projected with great power).
Size: 15 1/4" x 12 1/4" ....(and they say size doesn't matter).
Helpful tip: After you enlarge thumbnail, move horizontal
scrollbar to far right side and then click image to move it
around to any position you desire.

NOTE: Hey folks !! ....hold your head high because we're talking
about fine art on the highest level in one of the nation's
greatest museums !!

P.S. The funny thing is I wasn't searching for this kind of image
.....it just appeared by sheer accident. In fact, I was searching
for impressionist paintings. This museum's search engine needs
to be more specific (or they slip images in for humor).

-------HAVE FUN !!! ( I'm sure you'll get a few chuckles too ).........
Footnote: Who told you that a MUSEUM was a stuffy place
