Picture artist alphabet - just for fun! I

okay, I know I missed letter I out, but in conversation with Oz, despite pronunciation differences here's an artist beginning with I.........

correct, although I must admit it isn't an artist that I would recognise immediatley or have any depth of knowledge about; most of the artist who I select for the picture alphabet are ones that I have som connection with - either as inspiration or work that I like. In saying this, it has made me look further afield which can only be a positive thing, learning and gaining knowledge everyday is a step in the right direction. I selected this particular work as opposed to others (probably more instantly recognisable) because of the slightly surreal nature of the servant standing in the corner - a state of the social structure of the time who appears to be distant both in terms of the scene and being a third party to the act of enjoyment/pleasure, it might be viewed in todays terms in an alternative scenario as a form of voyeurism!!
