About Me
- Name: Jim Woodring
- Location: Seattle, Washington, United States
I was born in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California and enjoyed an exciting childhood full of poetry and paroniria among the snakes, rats and tarantulas of that enchanted realm. I eventually grew into an inquisitive bearlike man who has had three exciting careers; garbage collector, merry-go-round-operator and cartoonist. Some of my work is collected in THE BOOK OF JIM, THE FRANK BOOK and SEEING THINGS (all published by Fantagraphics) and in various toys, fabrics, prints and urban legends. Thank you for your interest.

WoW! You certainly got an eyeful. Always wear an overcoat into a museum in case you are unexpectedly bombarded by a giant vagina. On a serious note - beautiful painting! I hope you are having the time of your life. Say hi to Mary and Max!
Somehow, the big gold frame is the hilarious element. I think even Courbet would agree.
Ooh, la la! L'artiste, qui a osé ainsi montrer le désir et l'excitation, a réalisé une oeuvre quasi pornographique aux yeux de ses contemporains. So...How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Pareeee!?!
Enjoy!
Great photo. It looks like a postcard by some saucy German painter.
Ahhhh.Welcome home.
What a dirty, dirty museum you found.
And big deal! I think I've seen that painting on the internet a thousand times- and painted from different angles too!
At least your hands are in view.
Scratch and sniff?
Mr. Bumper variant?
Misplaced toupee?
Frank's Real Ma?
Fall in!
nice picture!
I like your blog, I enjoyed the story about the artist and god.
your art is GREAT!!! I saw all the images here!! Thank you for share it!
*heh* This was one of my wife's favorite paintings at the D'orsay when we visited in 2005. We have several pictures of it as well.
Actually, I have a little story about my encounter with this picture at the D'Orsay.
I was walking around, and I saw a knot of school kids (field trip, I presume), and there was this one geeky kid wearing a creepy, lurid grin lurching from the vicinity of the crotch shot. I just had to know the genesis of this, walked into the alcove he had just emerged from, and voilà.
Oh: And maybe someone can help me. There's this one mural-sized canvas there: It really impressed me, and I took a picture of it, brought it home, cleaned it up (e.g., adjusted for "pincushion"), and it's now a desktop. But I searched the Net, and the art section of a community college library (incl. a book on the D'Orsay), and no findee.
Someone know the title/artist?:

The painter is Jean Delville, and the picture is The School of Plato. Nuf sed!

What makes it a "candid" photo?
