Some excellent posts - lot of super-realism stuff I tend to like my art a bit weirder - like the Czech photographer Jan Saudek

Excerpt from the article which has over a dozen illustrations:

Near the end of the nineteenth century there was a brief vogue among artists for mixing astronomical subjects and hot naked women. The foremost among these, the Spanish painter Luis Falero, had his work used in popular science texts, and spawned a number of imitators.

Born in Toledo in 1851, Falero studied art, chemistry and mechanical engineering in Paris. Deciding that the last two were too dangerous, he decided to focus on painting. He never lost his interest in science, however. Especially astronomy. Many of his paintings combine astronomical subjects with nude women � a combination of his two great passions.
