I know this is a movie site. But, since movies are really just art, I thought maybe some people out there had some favorite artists in other mediums.
Perhaps you could share a favorite painting, print or personal work with us. I like M.C. Escher. His work is so complex and mathmatical: |
Great idea r66... I love art and Escher is one of my favorites… along with Brugel and Salvador Dali…

groovy idea for a thread. I like HR Giger, mostly famous for his alien creation. I like the way his art looks organic and industrial.

This is a cool thread. Get some culture up in here!:D My favorite artists are all pop artists, mainly. Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock (is that spelled right?), Art Speigleman, and the inimitable R. Crumb.

Blake - Whirlwind Lovers
|
Don't even get me started...
Especially on Blake: http://www.blakearchive.org.uk/blake...57_welcome.jpg http://www.artmag.com/museums/a_greab/agblsta/blake.gif http://www.tortuga.com/college/trans...ive/blake4.jpg The definitive powerhouse of quill and brush. C I like Dali too... he's a bit extreme in some of his renderings... at least to this set of eyes. His early portrait work is magnifique.. |

Have you ever been to the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida? They had a lot of his early work on display the last time I was there... Oh... and I like Blake too... :yup: |

I can get that sh*t in front of the tube. He was no doubt a brilliant painter/visionary... some of it was just too strong (?) for me. |

What about Walter Anderson… do you like any of his work? http://www.walteringlisanderson.com/images/walter.jpg |

I love all types of art. I guess among my favorites are...
Ingres (I like his studies as well as his paintings) John Singer Sargent (his watercolors are so different from his portaits, but just as beautiful) Degas (especially love his dance and theater series) Renoir (the first artist/work I was drawn to) Vincent Van Gogh (Starry Night has to be seen in person, the prints just don't do it justice. It's Beautiful) Daumier (love is lithographs, but don't care for his paintings) Georgia O'Keefe (her work is very sensual, especially the Black Iris and The Grayline) Alphonse Mucha (love his sketches as well as his posters) Wassily Kandinsky Auguste Rodin (saw an exhibition of his work and was very moved by his work) There are many others I love also, but I've posted enough... Here's a poster from Mucha. |
C: I like that one quite a bit... I'm not really familiar with his work, but it makes me want to look more.
Annie: I like all you mentioned, have you seen Klee? he's a contemporary of Kandinsky... quite compelling work. Your poster reminds me of Maxfield Parrish: http://www.discountgraphics.net/clas...tn/BMGP374.jpg My all time favorite is Arisman: http://www.illustart.com/gallery/mar...shall/ma75.jpg |
I`m well into my Fantasy Art:
[list][*]Vallejo[*]Bisley[*]Cartegena[*]Carralero[*]Frazetta[*]Cleavenger[*]Strommen[*]Mobius[/list=1] But far and away,my *1 is: Luis Royo :cool: http://www.airbrushshop.de/Buch/300394RoyoEvolution.jpg |

Thanks Toose. Yes, I also like Klee. :) My all time favorite is Arisman He's definately a powerful artist, and I respect him for making you feel something when you look at his work. But some of his images can be a little too unsettling for me. In a way, he kind of reminds me of Ralph Steadman. Have you seen him? Also a powerful illustrator, but with a weird twist of humor. |
I hadn't heard of him... I just went and looked. He's brilliant. I thought immediately of Gerald Scarfe:

I love this. I'm not sure what it's called yet, but it's by Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944). I'm going to use it as my desktop background.

Ah, that one was called Yellow, Red, Blue. Lovely.
This is another Kandinsky that I like - Composition VIII. |

My Fav Dali http://www.uwrf.edu/history/images/a...hol-tomato.jpg http://www.entertainmentstudios.com/.../warhol_01.jpg Warhol is a major infulance for me http://home.xnet.com/~stanko/vollard.jpg http://home.xnet.com/~stanko/oldjew03.jpg As Is piccaso http://www.picturestore.com.au/image...um/AWLEPH1.jpg Pro Harts good aswell |

Hondo, I have a copy of that painting by Dali hanging in my living room… it’s one of my favorites too… :)
|
Interesting painting--but it's significance eludes me. An emaciated man holds up a crucifix at what appears to be an emasculated horse or mare, a nude woman clutching her breasts and some weird-looking elephants with bizarre pyramids on their backs--all on stilts! What does it say? That Christians are opposed to genderless horses, nude women clutching their breasts and elephants with pyramids on stilts? Deep! :rolleyes:
|
I like Giger as far as art goes and I like the poetry of Lord Byron and I'm trying to get my hands on either Vincent Gallo or Viggo Mortensen's published poetry.

Actually the name of the painting is The Temptation of St. Anthony… the horse in the foreground represents strength… the elephant following, carries the golden cup of lust with a nude woman perched on the edge… the other elephants are carrying buildings on their backs; the first an obelisk inspired by the Bernini in Rome, the second and third carry buildings in the style of Palladio, and the last elephant carries a tall tower that has phallic overtones… In the clouds, there are glimpsing fragments of the Escorial… Interestingly, Dali painted The Temptation of St. Anthony to enter into a contest held by Alfred Hitchcock … |

And must thy lyre, so long divine Degenerate into hands like mine? Also: Though in my visions, sweet Lady, perhaps you may smile, Oh! think not my penance deficient! When dreams of your presence my slumbers beguile, To awake, will be torture sufficient. As for art, R. Crumb is great and Basquiat is a personal favorite of mine. Breughel is sick too. |

My favorite lines are from Milton's Paradise Lost:
The mind is it's own place, and in itself,
Can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven. |

gehard richter: this painting looks like a photograph
