I‘ve just discovered this artist from Sicily, at an Art Brut exhibition in Milan. Pure outsider. A difficult and unlucky life, died too soon in the moment people started to recognize his art. He used to paint on everything he could find, his hometown Castellammare del Golfo is filled with murales. These are painted on pizza boxes.

Giacometti is really sick, I love his sculptures but I think his most interesting work are his portraits. If you see one of his paintings, look at it from the side. They’re so caked in paint, they’re basically sculptures themselves. He also has such a loose way of drawing, they’re quite abstracted yet have an incredible likeness of the person. Not really sure what happens with the heads, they look like they got shrunk in the wash.

would you have guessed these are from the 1500s?? he made crazy, surrealist religious paintings for churches in the netherlands - ppl still aren't totally sure why he did what he did (leading theory is some kind of accidental hallucinogen)

I don’t know of he really is my favorite, but I like most of the paintings I’ve seen. Very dramatic, much beheading!
