Based. Great painting.

>>4268870
I first came across >>4268853 when I was looking into Miyamoto Musashi's philosophy. As it turns out, he was a painter, philsopher, and a swordsman. That painting in particular stuck out to me because of the sheer simplicity. All of the "detail" comes from the brush's construction, rather than by active choice of the artist. Musashi clearly knew how his brush acted, and used it to his advantage. There's more to it, but that's what stuck out to me at first.

I can't name just one. Some of the paintings that I love going to see in person would be Gerome's "The Bath", which hangs at the Legion Of Honor in SF, and "Spring" by Alma Tedema, that hangs at the Getty in Malibu. Also "Satyr and Nymphs", by Bougereau, that I saw many times when it was at the Met in NYC.
Or a little impressionist oil landscape on the wall of the oncology suite where I had to take my mom when she was dying, by a little known painter from the 50's, a little jewel of a painting that I just couldn't stop looking at.

Nope, and it's not really worth the read, as the base requirements were rather inadequate and pretty vague for a topic as vast as Art Nouveau imho, fun as it was to do research regardless.
Though you may find better mileage from the sources I used instead if that's what you're interested in:
>https://www.nga.gov/education/teachers/teaching-resources/art-nouveau.html
Really you can just stick to the pdf linked above, the rest are just books sourced from Google Scholar. Your mileage with those may vary.

Shitty Academic and Romantic art, all of it is pornographic and soulless; only those of a small soul think this is good art. Try some Titan where he paints a longing for the Immanence of the wolrd, where this turns into Eroticism, where the painting longs for Itself and where he breaks down liner time and everything longs and struggles to Become Infinitely.

This is also a great painting by Uccello where a hunt turns into a Joyful dance, where no Hate fills these hunters. They only do what there Nature does with joy, or as Pope put it, "Whatever IS, is RIGHT." There is a dance towards the Immanence of things that Uccello achieves masterfully.

Is this by Rembrandt?
the way it is made reminds me of him and the subject matter reminds me of home.

There's no correct reading but yours is simply wrong. The better reading is that Othello won't sleep with Desdemona because he's too vigilant and is ultimately too proud - he has no American sense of insecurity about himself. Othello and his wife lust only for death, and it is Iago who wants to live. Othello stabs Iago, and kills his wife, but we don't see him consummate the marriage in any way. It's not written as a romance novel or soap opera. American dramatists always portray Othello and Cassio as simply good, or Iago as simply bad... that's not a clever reading, and it's always like that.
