If I had to choose, the first one is ok. I don't care for Cubism or whatever it is. Soft lines are more auspicious.
To me it seems a little more like surrealism. The bottom one is called "Under the trees" and you can see why. The one with all the books in a cube is called "Knowledge" and it reminds me of my own lifelong attempt to gather and understand and lord over my books, to grasp onto it instead of absorb it and let it go. The top one you kinda like is called "Three Crosses" and it seems to depict the Crucifiction at Golgotha, only at a later date, when the bodies have been removed and the scene has been covered up like a stage set and prepared to be hauled off. Like some episode of the Twilight Zone where the painter is showing you a scene off the main linear sequence of events, a scene disjointed in time somehow by what happened there. This is only my own interpretation; I have no idea what the painter was trying to convey, if anything (I'm sure it was something).
Surrealism yes, I was just thinking is was like Dali does Cezanne. Not so immediate as Dali but still just as thought-provoking. What about the second one? I´m trying to imagine what´s in the bulging pillow case, although I´m not cetain I want to know.
How bizarre! I wondered the same thing about that little bundle. It seems to draw the eye.
Yes, it looks very pregnant.
Hehe, at least you're honest!
