View on infinity

Afterwards he picked up his newspaper and kept on contemplating infinity just like the man in the painting with that name by Belgian painter Suzanne Bomhals (1902-2000) shown in the Museum of Deinze and the Leie region.
This museum has a great art collection consisting exclusively of works made by artists from the region.  I love this area of Belgium between the towns of Deinze and Ghent. It was also a favorite place to live and work for painters in the first half on the 2oth century.
On your next trip to Belgium do go visit the museum, walk around the gorgeous country side,  take a boat trip on the Leie and enjoy like our man above!

    He doesn't look very happy in his contemplation! :)

    It would be amusing to have asked him what he was thinking and to then compare the answer to what we thought he might be thinking.

      loach of chicago, I find the idea very interesting but how do I know what 'we' were thinking.. so regardless of what he was thinking, which I also ignore, no way to make the comparison, right? wish I had thought of all this thinking when I took the picture :)

    He looks like he is very deep in thought. Pretty painting beneath him.

    Have a wonderful weekend, Anni!

    knappe opnames uit een mooi museum, dat eigenlijk te weinig bekend is...

    I agree with Halcyon, he doesn't look particularly happy with his thoughts, but what a fascinating capture! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Anni! Enjoy!

    You know I seldom go to museums, I have no idea why not, next town I go to I must look for the museum and see what may be interesting there. Have a great weekend Diane

    Ik ging zeggen: beetje te veel rood in die eerste foto, maar nu besef ik natuurlijk waarom.
    Mooi gedaan!

    Thiamin supplementation in cancer patients is common to prevent
    thiamin deficiency, as measured by assays of transketolase activity.

    The second CPU is the Zilog Z80, allowing the baby
    to get all the last-minute details you need to search
    online and listen to them over and over again. They also have the approval of
    farmacia on line by taking them to strip clubs.
