2 hits in 10 days for my unofficial Shadow list. A bit new to this sort of thing, but that's a promising start.

Garn 2,. I've had a look at your DDP list and I think you might well be one of the favourites to win the competition this year. I'd put £10 on you at, say, 3-1.

Leonora Carrington dead at 94. Born in that hotbed of surrealism, Chorley.

A few ageing artists I've at least heard of to add to the pot:

 

Cy Twombly, 80. (Twimbledon Common resident, would get an obit on sillynames.com)

I'm sorry if this is boring to most DLers, but I'd like to point out that Twombly has an exhibition at Tate Modern and that I consider him one of the premier C20th artists. Of course, he won't get Rolf-like column inches and he may not die for years, but the Deathlist is a broad church, I'd hope.

 

(Hmmm, I'd had a few drinks when I wrote that. I do rate his work, but maybe 'one of the premier C20th artists' is a bit OTT)

 

I'm sad to report that Cy Twombly has died, aged 83 .

 

His work provoked a bit of a debate earlier in this thread. The now departed Lord Fellatio Nelson inexplicably struggled to get his head around what Twombly's tortured genius had to offer....

death of a legend..a true giant in his field.I'm amazed he wasnt on the list..

 

ps to prove what a massive loss this is to the world here is a BBC obit

I think Twombly may have ignored LFN's contribution to the greater good of society, which might be where LFN's indifference to CT's scribbles started.

 

Do we know for a fact that LFN has departed us? Kinda sad if he has.

That's a matter of opinion.

What? Do you mean no longer posting or do you mean that more permanent departure that happens to be the subject that ties this place together? I suspect the former, having become bored out of his brain by the daily drivel. He's not the only one. Will Rolf Harris get a mention here when he goes? What is Rolf Harris?

Leave it, the man bought me beer and proved a most convivial companion.

Getting bored? Bring on the clowns...

I was so convinced that Zizi Jeanmarie was dead that I didn't even bother to check she was still alive when thinking of people for my CPDP theme team. Not only is she still alive but her husband is too.

 

Her husband (Roland Petit) has (ballet-dancing pun that can be related to dying).

The famous pioneering artist Zdenek Sykora has died at 91

 

here is an example of his genius

 

 

 

also just found out that the painter of the controversial Black Christ Ronald Harrison has died

Person with famous surname and downright miserable bugger when he used to ring the PA, Lucian Freud's paint has run dry.

[Windsor 2,233]

Person with famous surname and downright miserable bugger when he used to ring the PA, Lucien Freud's paint has run dry. Bit odd that the NY Times can't spell his name right mind you, so possibly worth watching for a better and more accurate obit.

 

Of course he was a miserable bugger.

 

He was supposed to be an artist but couldn't paint to save his life...

here it is . a sad day for British art

 

his depiction of a nude Anne Widecombe was particularly enthralling

 

and who can forget his uncannily lifelike portrait of Her Majesty

[Vinegar Tits 605]

Apparently his name was spelt Lucian rather than Lucien, which I always thought it was spelt. That probably explains why he was a miserable bugger when he used to ring ex-work...

Richard Hamilton...Popped off, permanently.

Tony Blair probably likes his one and won't see the joke
