The MoFo Fine Art thread...

Post some images of your favorite fine art pieces. I'll start with the canvas I have in my living room (repro, of course).

I like some of Dali's work as well, but not all of it. These are a couple of my favorites...

[SamsoniteDelilah]

Most of the art on my walls at home are things I bought from the artist/photographers themselves. Here are a couple of things that are google-able, that I also have.:

A small print of this:
http://visit.elysiumgates.com/fpfairie.jpg

And a larger, framed print of this, by Claude Monet:
http://www.jimloy.com/arts/monet42.jpg

A Maxfield Parrish print called "Autumn Afternoon" that has a similar feel to this other painting of his:
http://www.jeddy.org/moi/sunlitvalley.jpg

[Caitlyn]

I have a copy of Dali's The Temptation of St. Anthony in my living room... He painted this one to enter into a contest held by Alfred Hitchcock …


http://www.csc.vill.edu/html/images/dali.jpeg


I'll be back to post a few more...

[Sedai]

Love the Parrish, Sammy.

I used to have that Dali in my LR as well, Caity, but when we moved it got dropped, broken and creased. I rolled it up thinking I would try to save it, but it just got into more trouble that way...

A Monet I dig...

I've got a few Giacomelli prints, just love his faces -

These Cezanne prints -

And this Seurat -

http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/eurptg/pictures/C50741big.jpg

I've a few numbered prints by Irish artists too and there's a couple of Monet prints hanging in the bedroom, but we all know what they look like. :)

EDIT - I bought this a few weeks ago, no idea who it's by but the picture's got a nice simple quality.

[SamsoniteDelilah]

http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/eurptg/pictures/C50741big.jpg
Every time I see that painting, I hear the song "Sunday" from Sunday In The Park With George and it makes me feel light inside. :)


That last picture is interesting - I like the colors and composition. Is it a painting or a ceramic tile?

[Tacitus]

It's a painting - I took it out of the frame and scanned it. There's a companion to it which I'll do later. :)

It probably bodes well for you that you buy paintings in pairs. Something about that is nice.

That Giacomelli print - is it a photo or painting? It's really cool, has a folk-art feeling. You have cool taste in art, D.

[Tacitus]

It's a photo, worked on by the artist I suspect. You can find an online gallery here (http://www.robertkleingallery.com/gallery/giacomelli). :)

[Sedai]

This seems appropriate for a MoFo art thread....

This guy does decent faces too. ;)

And another fine example from the voyeur...

http://www.csie.nctu.edu.tw/%7Eitchen/Image/renoir.jpg

[Tacitus]

Here's the second picture of the pair that I bought a while back. I'd like to scan more, 'cos they're originals and can't find pics on the net but they're too big for the scanner and my camera doesn't do them justice. ;)

[SamsoniteDelilah]

HAHA! What the?!
http://www.robertkleingallery.com/gallery/albums/giacomelli/aaj.jpg

I like both those prints. Happy colors.


Sedai - is that how you picture Mofo, were it a place? :)

[Tacitus]

HAHA! What the?!

Hey, I'm Irish, live next to a church and across the road from a convent and a parochial house. I'd love to own that one. Priests are part of the furniture! :D

They're great though, aren't they?

[Piddzilla]

HAHA! What the?!
http://www.robertkleingallery.com/gallery/albums/giacomelli/aaj.jpg



I like that one a lot.

[Tacitus]

These are scans from a book by Irish photographer Bobbie Hanvey, who I think is wonderful. One of the pictures is of my Uncle. ;)

[Tacitus]

And again...

[SamsoniteDelilah]

:eek: Your uncle is Ian Paisley!!!??? :eek:

[Tacitus]

:eek: Your uncle is Ian Paisley!!!??? :eek:

ermmmm no.

On a side note, my dad once told Big Ian to **** off at Belfast airport in the 70s. The Fire & Brimstone merchant had apparently commented on my father's tie (records don't show if it was a positive or negative comment though, and your humble author wasn't there to corroborate).

My uncle's the historian - propping himself up at an unused part of our family home (my Grandparents' farm, now his) in deepest, darkest Tyrone. :)

Sedai...I love Renoir's "Luncheon of the Boating Party". It's gorgeous...and huge...in person. I wrote an paper on it when I was a young'n in college and I still have a thing for it. :)


This past year I bought two Alphonse Mucha's prints and had them framed.
"Precious Stones (Set of 4 )" and "Biscuits Lefevre".
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/VAS/0000-1127.jpg http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/ISI/254012.jpg


And recently I just bought a signed Misha Lenn..."Spanish Dancer's" which can't find online anywhere, but the style is similar this one of his...only with brighter colors.

It's a little... different than what has been posted, but it is a favorite and a signed print of it happens to be the only thing hanging on the walls in my apartment. Brandon Bird's (http://www.brandonbird.com/), The Anguish:

by the way, there is going to be a film about him soon i think

[nebbit]

There are some great art works here folks :yup:

Here a few of mine or should i say Roberts, he usually buys a South african painting each year when we go, sorry about the quality as they are hanging in the wall and they have glass on them. the large one in the messy lounge room is mine by an Australian artist. I will post more later.:D

[Sedai]

A couple more I like.

http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/monet/first/monet.parasol.jpg

I've always liked Giacometti.

[SamsoniteDelilah]

http://www.1st-art-gallery.com/artists/dali/dali_raphaelesque_head_exploding.jpgThat is so cool... It almost looks like it's blowing apart and assembling itself at the same time - brilliant!


Piddy~ great sense of weight in those.

OG... what the?! Is that Michael Landon... and a squid?

[Sedai]

That is so cool... It almost looks like it's blowing apart and assembling itself at the same time - brilliant!
He actually has a few in the same vein.... The above is my favorite , and I really like the Galatea of the Spheres I posted earlier, but I also like this one as well.....

http://www.american-buddha.com/daliexplode2a.jpg

[Piddzilla]

That last one I really like, Sed... A bit spooky... What's the name of the artist?

[Sedai]

That last one I really like, Sed... A bit spooky... What's the name of the artist? Unknown....and I really love it too.... The site I found it on says it's Dali, but it isn't.... At least I have never seen it in his collections, and I have three or four extensive Dali books at home. The man was prolific, to be sure, but I am pretty sure it isn't him. If it is, it wouldn't be the first time a painting has surprised me by being his when I thought it wasn't....

Well....I just found another site (asian this time), that has this posted in their Dali section as well....It might just be his....


There are six or eight paintings I don't recognize on the site, so it very well could be his, and my Dali knowledge = ****.

A lot of great Dali on the site, check it out.... (http://ebaomonthly.com/window/arts/dali/dali_20.htm)

[Tacitus]

Two of my all-time favourite artists...

Lucien Freud

http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/freud/freud.reflection.jpg

and Francis Bacon

http://www.francis-bacon.cx/portraits/van_gogh/vangoghii_57.jpg

[SamsoniteDelilah]

Sedai~ eeeYIKES. My first thought on seeing that is it's a memory of a girl he killed. Then it reminded me of Silence of the Lambs... "size 14? Perfect."

Tacitus~ those are both wonderful. Bacon was off his rocker, but I love his stuff. That one is considerably happier than the Screaming Popes series! And the face in the first one is great - so cool how much is indicated with fairly loose brushwork.

People in this thread have some pretty phenomenal taste! :up:

I went to a Freud exhibition at Liverpool's Tate a few years back - it was mindblowing. He's such a human artist, painfully so at times. :)

[criss]

that must had been great,i understand what you say, it is something totally different when you see good paintings in "real" life

[Tacitus]

Yup, art has to be seen up close - every swirl of the brush, every scratch of the knife.

I can remember when I was around 17, clueless about art and standing in front of a pretty minor Van Gogh painting at The Tate in London - we'd gone on a school trip and were doing the 'tourist' sites. I must have stood looking, staring for 20 minutes totally lost in the work...

[Sedai]

Van Gogh is my favorite artist...some days ;)

[Tacitus]

Do you remember the name of the painting?

15 years ago my artistic knowledge consisted of that poster of the tennis player scratching her arse so the title didn't mean anything to me. ;)

A quick hunt around on the Web threw it up though. A Corner of the Garden of St Paul's Hospital at St Rémy (1889)

http://www.tate.org.uk/collection/N/N04/N04716_9.jpg

I really should visit The Tate again, haven't been in quite a few years - I could lose a day there easily. :)

Next week, here in Boston, Alex is doing the decor at a psytrance event at Axis Boston. This will be the final event at Axis before they demolish it and build some big super club. I am very excited to meet this artist in person, as well as see all these works in their original form...

Yeah, it's huge, and impressive as Hell in person. They have it at the MoMa. Unfortunately I haven't been to the museum or New York since the MoMa's remodeling so I don't know where that Boccioni is displayed now (or if they have it in storage), but it used to be at the top of the first set of stairs to the left as you walked up.

I've been impressed by De Goya's realist work and vision that borders sometimes on the insane. Given what he went through in life, it's not a wonder.

Colossus is compelling, if not apropos.

Do you have any of your stuff or your mother's that you can post?

[Gabriella Lynn]

No unfortunately, it's all in storage. I'm going out there in the next couple of weeks when my grandfather get's back to town. I can see if I can find some from back when. Or I can probably even try and draw something again. I like drawing, I might mess it up though if I try and do it and post it.

And mother threw it all away. Whenever I ask her to draw something now she complains lol.

You really should start drawing again if you're somewhat capable and enjoy it. It would be a terrible thing to waste.


Hmmm, I wonder why.

[Gabriella Lynn]

I know, I was in art class and I drew constantly when I was younger. I like the artsy fartsy stuff. All I wanted to do when I was in Maui was go to all the art galleries lol.


My mom is a crazy B, that's why, lol. Really I don't know though, she just always said she wasn't any good at it. But she could do ink drawings which is probably hard because you can't erase ink. She even got into an art school. Never went though.

I can kind of understand where she's coming from. I can spend hours on something then in a split second decide I don't like it and scrap it.

Sounds like she's better than me, though.. so maybe you're right about the crazy part.:p

Why don't you post any of yours? Or have you already?


I don't know really. I think it's because she had me. She claims I was more important and what she wanted than going to school. But I would have chose school. She's now a bagger and cart pusher at Safeway.

Oh no I know. I'm a lot more selfish than her because I see all the struggles she goes through. I understand why she did it. But at the same time I don't because she ended up giving me up later on. But I get why she did it when I was little.


I like them. Their dark and mysterious. The reason I say that is because when someone usually draws sunken in cheeks, it mean despair to me or without soul if you will. Or seeking. But the colors are beautiful. That's art that I could stare at for a while.

Thank you so much, you've made my next couple hundred years :D
Maybe I'll post some more later if I get the courage.

[Gabriella Lynn]

Yeah I really do wish that almost every day haha! I don't know about you but I like to pretend I know what they're thinking! Lol.


Well your welcome, if you ever want to give me a private art show, be my guest. I like looking at art. It's calming and hypnotizing, you know?

Probably if you did suddenly gain the ability you'd want to give it up right away, lol.



Sure, maybe I'll send you the one I'm working on once it's finished. Yes, I love it.. I could look at art all day... it's kind of like looking into someone's mind, isn't it? :p

[Gabriella Lynn]

Haha You are very right. whenever I think of minds being read I think of the movie What Women Want with Mel Gibson. haha.


Yeah I think so too. I always thought it was like they were expressing what they felt inside about whatever they painted and took it outside for everyone to see. Art makes everything so much more beautiful because it's in another person's perspective and it makes you have a new view on something as simple as a cloud.

Mhm, I agree with that. I also like forming my own perspective of it, even if it meant something else for the artist, yanno?

Do you like darker art? I like the last one a lot. I like how it makes me want to cry. :P

The first one excites me because I like anatomy. I'm in the medical field, or will be, in like a week! Yay! But I like how you see the inside and outside.

Does Tumblr have a lot of art regularly? I wouldn't mind looking online although my favorite way to observe is in art galleries. Do you have many in your city?

I'm into surrealistic, mostly.. I'm inclined towards darker stuff, I think, yeah.


That's awesome! \o/ anatomy is fun!


Good thing about tumblr is it has a lot of everything regularly it depends on what sort of blogs you choose to follow. I live in art-less wasteland, closest museum is probably 3 hours, haha. I envy you -.-

More art, rawr

Darker art used to scare me a lot like The Scream, but that has changed a lot since I've grown up. I'm more interested in it and envious of people who could draw like that because if I tried, I'm sure it would just look sad, lol.

What do you do for a living?

I think the place that has the best art in WA is Seattle although we do have a couple in my city. I think my state is overall just artsy fartsy, lol. Do you live in the US?

I really enjoy the "angel" It looks like it's breaking free from hell. Do you think the second one is of bugs or human bugs?

Well at least it would show some kind of emotion. I'm currently unemployed *Cue violin*... Yeah, I'm in the US, I'm jealous of your state, I wish mine was artfully-flatulent.. At least our trees grow buckeyes, so.. hah! Oh, yeah.. you're right.. I didn't notice that before. Maybe they were once humans but they were turned grotesque because of their gossiping over dinner..?

Do you mind me asking why you don't work? I'm not against. And I know it isn't always a choice thing either. I'm just a curious killer of cats! lol. I know someone from a state kinda like that. He takes my mom and siblings over there and they have a lot of fun apparently lol.

You know, I think you may be right lol. Damn gossipers!

[Nausicaä]

I know it's a lot of people's favorites but I love this Starry Night more than any of Vincent Van Gogh's paintings.

Nice choice, that's one of my all time favourite paintings. He had a nice view, I believe he painted it while he was in hospital.

My second favourite from the artist, Wheatfield with Crows:

Oh I love that! I don't believe I've ever seen it unless I'm just blind, lol. I think my second favorite of his is the self potrait with cut ear.

I think he's like my favorite artist although I love Monet a lot too. I also really enjoy photographs.

Why not? Their mystical!


I like it, I like how you use your shadows, it gives your art depth. How did you get them on your computer? Scanning?

[Mysticalunicornfart]

Thank you >.<


I used a program on the computer to do these.. so no need to upload. I haven't any paintings from real life on my PC.


Still hoping you'll post some of your stuff on here:p

[Gabriella Lynn]

I will lol, I just have to wait till I go get it. Or go by some supplies. I've been studying for finals all week and have two more tomorrow so it wont be until after that that I will be done.

Great thread.
How could you people allow this to die? Shame on you!
This forum could use a Search function, by the way.

I'm no fine art aficionado but I love it when people share beauty for mutual appreciation. I'm very fond of Romantic and Impressionistic paintings.
Here's "Draugen" from Theodor Kittelsen.

One thing I do enjoy is art

Here is one of my favorite artist.... John William Waterhouse. He was part of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
