Art of the West
This site is no longer updated and has been replaced with my new art gallery.
Here I have collected a small sampling of my favorite art for your enjoyment. My tastes run to works which exalt Nature and the human body, which give us a glimpse of an ideal world which exists as an archetype in the minds and souls of the men and women of the West, and which predate or transcend the degeneration of our culture which has been accelerating in this century.
The artist's name precedes each group of his or her works. Some anonymous works are included on the basis of their beauty or because they show European racial and cultural presence outside the current boundaries of the West.
