October 8, 200620 yr There must be some pictures/photographs or anything else made by other people that you appreciate. It may be Van Gog or Manet, it also may be someone unknown from Deviantart or elsewhere, it may be any person except you. Here're some pictures I really really like. Edward Munch: The Scream Jack Vettriano: The Singing Butler Camille Pissarro: The Boulevard Montmartre Salvador Dali: Melting Clocks MC Escher: Eye Bomd of Union Jackson Pollock: The Deep Mural, 1950 That's just a few of my favorites, almost all of them a well-known. Spread the art love around :wings:
October 8, 200620 yr great thread idea, Lera! Your choices are mesmerizing. Detroit Industry or Man and Machine, North Wall. 1932-33. Painted by Diego Rivera at the Detroit Museum of Fine Arts. Fresco. obviously this is about the Detroit auto industry, but ironically in that whole painting there is only one automobile, it's very hard to find. It's tiny! It's what I always look for when I visit the art museum. And each time I forget where it is at, because the mural takes up a whole wall! Steven ValiereAfter 35 years of international surfing, Steven Valiere doesn't just know his subject matter - he's lived it almost every day of his life. A self schooled artist with little formal training, Steven works in acrylics to create bold, multi-layered surfscapes celebrating the joy of carving fades, gouging bottom turns, deep tube rides, and sweeping ariels, done with the grace of a Balinese dancer. Vailiere has resided in the Hawaiian islands since 1978 and continues his passions for surf, travel and painting.
October 10, 200620 yr Author So many art lovers here... That's sad :disappointed: I'm gonna post here anyway. Here's a great one by Mark Rothko called Orange and Yellow, 1956. Maybe I'm crazy but I think this man is genius.
October 10, 200620 yr Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne, Switzerland http://www.artbrut.ch/index.cfm?Show=Oeuvres&ArtisteID=1
October 10, 200620 yr Author Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne, Switzerland http://www.artbrut.ch/index.cfm?Show=Oeuvres&ArtisteID=1 Yeah, I've seen this on DAS. That gallery is pretty impressive actually.
October 10, 200620 yr i'm planning to visit...if i'll have money for train of course now i don't have any :smug: lol
October 10, 200620 yr Author Heh a train is not too expensive I suppose :tongue: You're so proud of your moneyless lol. I'm pretty short on cash too actually.
October 10, 200620 yr Author Whoa :wideeyed: That's a gorgeous one, Ella. Number 1, A by J.Pollock That's good.
October 10, 200620 yr haha this is a pic of an oil painting that my friend made of my pic and then gave to me. I'd love to show other her work too because I absolutely love all of her paintings, photographs and everyting she writes. I think she is a genius. I can't show her work because the page that she had her art on doesn't exist anymore.
October 10, 200620 yr Dali....He is my ultimate favorite. He inspires me so!:nice: Im posting my favorite piece of his... Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach, 1938
October 11, 200620 yr I love William Turner's art.. only colour and light.. the Slave ship is my favourite
October 11, 200620 yr i absolutely adore Alex Grey's art. does anybody know him? he did the Tool covers and he also created the sculpture on Nirvana's "In Utero" record. his paintings express so much warmth and love. "Kissing" there's so much to discover in his art. see the infinity symbols connecting their minds and hearts? "Oversoul"
October 11, 200620 yr sooooo random, but that painting kinda reminded me of the pics you took of your brothers... :rolleyes:
October 11, 200620 yr Author Here's William Baziotes, an american artist. This one is truly amazing... That's a real art I think, it's so impressive, that's so great that we all can see different meaning in this picture... That's so hard to express your thoughts and feelings about paintings and art in general, I guess words are too poor for that. Pierrot Sam Francis Untitled, 1980 Mark Rothko again... Man, that's awesome. Orange, Tan And Purple, 1954 (probably the most famous by him) I can look at it for hours I guess.
October 11, 200620 yr I love this Finnish painting: Albert Edefelt Boys On The Shore That painting is a classic..and so beautiful!
October 11, 200620 yr Some of those r rilly wierd. The skeletons making out was colorful but kinda pointless. The skull eye and the infinity gold eye was just freaky!
October 12, 200620 yr Author I found it... I wanted to post this but I forgot the name and now I finally found it. Jackson Pollock, Galaxy. For some reason this painting reminds me of Sigur Ros's Svefn-G-Englar. I really can't get why though. Anyway, Pollock is a genius. His biography is also quite impressive. Man, what wouldn't I give to see his art live.
October 12, 200620 yr Oh Svefn-G-Englar. What a beautiful song:cheesy: It really amazes me how many people dont like Pollock, even art teachers I've had say that "painting just to paint" is just plain dumb. I personally think he was a genius and his paintings act as a gesture of liberation. :nice: My all time favorites are Lavender Mist and Untitled(After Number 7) Lavender Mist, 1950 Untitled (after Number 7), 1951
October 12, 200620 yr Author Yes yes the second one is on my faves list too! It's gust oh so gorgeous...
October 12, 200620 yr I have a weird obsession with ballet, pictures or paintings:thinking: so I like this one Degas-The rehearsal
October 18, 200620 yr Author Frank Stella, tlented man, oh... And Jackson Pollock again, can't get him out of my mind for some reason. Number 18, 1950.
October 20, 200620 yr here are a few paintings by Frida Kahlo that I really like the other day I watched the movie Frida, that is about her and it's really a wonderful movie so you should watch it if you get a chance these photos are from an art exhibition with Frida Kahlo's original paintings, I went to that exhibtion with my family in hamburg this year this one came out blurry :( damn we got a little tape recorder and head phones at the exhibition so we could hear about Frida Kahlo's life and about her paintings, and that was pretty cool because her paintings are really personal and have like it's own little story. I like that :nice:
October 20, 200620 yr I like salvador dali's art.......we have been to the Dali museum in Spain....and I was impresed by his style...I mean how it varified (is that the right word...) not always the same..... one of my favourites... probably the most famous one...
