My pappa's work mainly depicts the horrors of war; specifically the Holocaust of World War II.
I think his art is beautiful, even though it's subject is dark.
Please take a look {hit full screen} at the book he put together and please let me know what you think! xo
love,
his proud daughter

beautiful!!! it is so important not to forget so history doesn't repeat itself
You're right, it's a dark subject, but one we can't afford to forget. Your dad's book is beautiful- it makes me think that he must be deeply touched by this topic.
Oh wow. He is one talented man. His work is so powerful and inspiring.
His art is wonderful! You should be very proud.
very talented indeed! It is wonderful that you are so proud of him! Every artist should be so lucky to have that... Thanks for sharing!
Your father is so talented and amazing! I usually don't like art that is dark or too intense but he does such wonderful work. I can see where you get your love for art from. And your artistic soul. x
I can see now where you get that artistic soul of yours! You take after your dad.

Micaela, your father's work is really impressive. It gave me chills. I think the wonderful thing about artists is that they don't just stick with happy subjects but are willing to venture out and explore the dark side of humanity or the unusual parts of creativity. My seventh grade teacher told my class something that stuck with me: "Art," he said, "is not just something you hang over the living room sofa because it matches your decor." It's emotion. It's what makes us human.
Tragically beautiful.
i feel like the most moving art is very depressing. i love the book.
THATS AWESOME! HE IS S TALENTED! I BET HE IS PROUD OF YOU TOO!

He's incredibly talented! Flowers are pretty, and I love floral paintings, but I also like art with substance. You have every right to feel proud!

your father's work is fantastic.
i found the piece with the three skeleton particularly intriguing.
pure talent.
sorry for late comment micaela! but your father's artistic work is BRILLIANT. i love art, almost every form of it and even though this isn't my most favorite painting expression, it truly is wonderfully lovely; in a dark matter of course, but still, lovely. i'll have to flip through the book again, but there was this one painting i LOVED and must ask if your father sells prints of any kind..? let me know! xoxoxoxo
