An amazingly beautiful Russian 'Social-Realism' painting showing real people doing real work.

This picture is at the request of John 317 who wants to see some German impressionists here. This one, I believe, certainly deserves to be seen due to it's interesting composition and confident brushstrokes (which I especially admire), also it's harmonious colors. Just wish it were larger.

Can anyone translate the title for us?


I believe the title is "Sand Dunes at Katwijk".

Thanks so much for posting this.

Thanks for introducing me to Max Lieberman, a German Jew. I have another by him even nicer for tomorrow.

If anyone has a request, make it known! Or if anyone has a picture worth pondering - let us see it and ponder too. (For whatever we ponder - for that the heart grows fonder. \:\) )

No requests as I am just learning about all these wonderful painters. Just keep them coming. I have taken several to use as desktop decor.

May I suggest starting a part 2 thread for this topic. It is getting rather long and downloading for dialup members will be tedious.

I know. I'm a dial-up member too! But since I only load the most recent page (as I assume most do) with the default 10 posts per page, I don't know what good it would do to start another part-two. Enlighten me. I suppose people lucky enough to have broadband or whatever you call it just load the whole shebang. Right? \:\)

Cool. I'm glad to know you're enjoying the art. And I'm learning too, as we go along.

If a person clicks on the main "Pictures to Ponder" link and are dialup, they have to wait for all umteen pages to load. If they click on the last page number listed then they get just that page. If they use the "posts of the last 24hrs" then just those will load.

It was just a suggestion and in no way ment to be something you should do. CD

I tried and the only way I can get all umteen pages to load is to click on 'all' at the end the umteenth page listed. I only get one page at a time otherwise. How many posts per page have you set in your 'preferences.' Mine is for 10. [scratchhead]
