Happy Halloween - Quidor Painting (note to Joe and John)

October 31st, 2007, 08:20 AM

Dear ArtConversation Visistor (especially eductors).

I know many of you use "The Scream" at Halloween time... Here is
another one to feature (new to me).
John Quidor, "The Headless Horseman Pursuing Ichabod Crane", 1858

The Headless Horseman Pursuing Ichabod Crane - Speaking of Pictures Interactive
http://americanart.si.edu/collection.../sp_quidor.cfm

Great way to tie in American literature, too.
"Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving, 1819

Joe and John, I need more paintings/artowrks that are based on Literature/Poems. Can you send some to the Forum? I will also post my question in "Questions". I already have "Number Five in Gold" (based on Poem).

Enjoy,

Judy Decker

Re Hallowe'en, here's a link to a page of macabre art I set up several years ago. Many of the links are probably out of date, but it's a good place to start if you want to get spooked by some art images.

Judy, I'll give some thought to artworks based on American literature. Nothing comes to mind right away, except for illustrated books of which there are many examples (I particularly like Barry Moser's work).
