The beheld

One of my favorite artists, genius Michael Teague


Refried and Relinquished






Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme



This is a French Style portrait evokes that transitional period in the late 1900's when Romanticism was giving way to Modernism. The figurative style is an ode to Tissot, whose bright pallete was quite a departure from the brown sauce of eariler French Salon painting. The right side of the painting is pointillist, and it includes a reasonable facsimile of Seurat's rendering of the Eiffel Tower.
