Two different views of a painter's studio (late 1800s)

Quite fancy outfits on those painters. The female model has typical attire.:)

Painter Karl Hofer's "The Record Player" 1939

German expressionist painter Karl Hofer painted two versions of "The Record Player" in 1939 (shown above). He was labeled a degenerate artist by the Nazis, but regained recognition after the war as one of the greatest German painters.
I love this image and the idea of the record player having a double meaning.
The second one may actually have been painted two years later according to one source. Not sure. In any case, it was during the war and the sad, frozen faces seem to reflect that.
Wondering if Margaret Keane saw these and he influenced her.

New painting - work in progress (by Amy Crehore)

Here's a quick shot of my latest work in progress on my easel. Oil on linen.

It's a winter painting inspired by a snowy week last December. 

I still have more work to do on it, but it is getting there.
