Schoenberg's Paintings!!!!!!!!!

on: August 20, 2004, 06:27:01 PM

These are so great! I think they give great insight into his music, or is it that his music gives insight into his paintings? Comments?
Here's the website:

I like them so much (alot of you are gonna think I'm crazy) but I put one of them as my desktop background!

I was not terribly excited by his paintings, but I guess it surprised me how unexpectedly conventional they are.

I hope he composed more proficiently than he painted.

well he shows a bit of potential. but hey it's the 20th century you can draw/paint whatever the hell you want and the supposed 'talent' doesn't come into it. personally (from an artist's point of view fafafa

) i don't find them very riveting. like there are artworks that can be relatively simple and don't appear to have required much artistic talent but convey a lovely atmosphere. however i do not get that from schoenberg's works. don't mind his music though.
