George Tooker

Artist #6 George Tooker

The magic realist and social realist painter, George Tooker, definitely intrigues me. I love films like Amélie and Midnight in Paris where, despite that the setting in both films appears realist contemporary, have an inherit magical element or quality. Tooker's paintings are the same. My favorite is the last image I posted of the old woman and her young reflection. I also am amazed by the intense eeriness evident in his paintings, a true anxiety and uneasiness.
