Just a sideblog of paintings and other art that I like. I am by no means an expert.

Part of the Ann & Gordon Getty Collection sold to benefit the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation for the Arts. All lots appear to have been sold without reserve. This part of the collection (Old Masters, 19th and 20th Century paintings) is still available as a free pdf (103.3 MB). Simply pop the following into a new window:

Once you’ve downloaded it, taking it down to 60% will give you a double-page view like with the actual catalogue. Just enlarge it to read the bits  you’re interested in. This might not apply if you’re not an old fogey like me. I've put up quite a few of these paintings so you can ignore this chunk of those posts. Go on, it’s a free art book!

Evgeny Sedukhin - “Symphony of the sixth blast furnace” (1979)

Евгений Седухин - Огни трудового Тагила “Lights of Labour Tagil”

Евгений Седухин - Тагильский рабочий “Tagil Workers”

Its incredibly hard to find a lot of his work online but I did my best with my extremely limited knowledge of Russian. From what I could tell he was employed in a stone/gem processing plant before he went to art school. He was very devoted to various positions he held in the party mainly pertaining to artists unions.

Being Russian, do you know anything about this artist?

Not much, but I love the Sixth Symphony, it’s so powerful. Here’s some info here and here (in Russian), some more pieces here.

The austrian lady was one of the finest linocut artists of the 20th century.
