Favorite Artwork/Artist [Archive]

I may have missed it, but I didn't see a thread where members could share some of their favorite works of art. I thought I'd start one and begin with probably my favorite artist, Vincent van Gogh. I didn't really develop a strong affinity for his art until after I was fortunate enough to see a traveling exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It was then that my mind was blown.

Here are two of my fave van Goghs. I did see the second one live. :cool:

Your right, Caity. I see it now. The thread is called Art Gallery. You can move it over there, and I'll reword my first paragraph.

I thought we had another thread or two on art... but am just going to post the links here because I really see no reason we can't start another one.... :)

This thread was to post favorite art work in….

Art Gallery (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=3720&highlight=Art+Gallery)

And this thread was to post MoFo members art… and believe me, we have had and still have some talent on this board….

Nice choice. There is a film which is like a Renoir come to life:

I have a tonne of favorite artists. However, i have one in particular I think you'll all thank me for introducing if you don't already know her. She is a photographer and a director and has won numerous awards for her work. She has a very dark and surreal feeling to her work and you have to check her out. Her name is Floria Sigismondi. Please check out her work, you will be blown away by her style.

Some really great choices guys… As I stated in one of the other threads, one of my favorites is Salvador Dali… I used to have a print of his painting, The Temptation of St. Anthony hanging in my living room…

I've never really formed opinions on pieces of fine art. Even though I've never found any art style with personal significance or weight or that makes me want to gaze at it for a long period of time, there are some times when I come across art that wish I could draw like (always illustration). The example I think about the most is Machi Abe's drawings for her husband's novel, Woman in the Dunes.

Fifi (1973)
by Ed Paschke

I've seen this at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C. and I even have a picture of me standing next to it, which I would have posted if I was on the computer that has the picture. It's very striking... makes me think of The Rocky Horror Picture Show... it's like Magenta meets Frank N Furter.

Marc Chagall. Brilliant use of color, and nice rounded figures, again, for me. I don't like rough edges or sharp points unless architecture is involved.

Also I felt there should be a record of the awesomeness of the Civil War covers: For your viewing pleasure:

I'm only beginning to appreciate some of the classics, I do love a lot of the more darker and mystical in nature type of art. I'm a huge fan of Royo and the like. I love Monster's and Hot Chicks (sorry about the Hot Chick's thing, I'm a pig, I admit it.:p)especially if they are together. Royo has a lot of them together so that would be why he's one of my favorites. He has a lot of stuff that's pretty blue so I'll just put up some of his stuff that's a little more PG-13. :) H.R. Giger is also great, I've got a lot of his stuff on my desktop but it probably wouldn't be appropriate here.

These first 4 are all Royo...

Please fell free to edit these if they are to blue, I tried to go with a few that didn't have to much nudity. But that's what I like so I just wanted to put up a couple of examples. If it's not to blue let me know I've got some great stuff and would be happy to post more. I just don't want to be accused of turning this into a porn thread. :p

Ed Hopper was one of my heroes in art school. I'm not a big Goya fan but Brujos is the most frightening painting I've ever seen. And I'm a snob, so fantasy art is icky to me. Sorry!

I haven't posted anything of Leonardo's becuse the guy is just so famous for the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and all his diagrams of the human body and flying. I truly believe he was a metagenius, plus he wrote all his notes backwards (as if he was looking in a mirror). OK, well, even so, I've found some lesser-known Leonardos which deserve some love, I believe.

You stole my choice. :) It has, and probably always will be, Van Gogh. When I was a little kid I was messing around with water colors and just decided to randomly paint a night sky on a cheap piece of cardboard. I showed it to my mom, who informed me that it looked a lot like "Starry Night." Of course, my swirly motions were more the result of simply being a kid than anything skillful, but they did look alike, and "Starry Night" has been my favorite painting ever since. Heck, it's even the wallpaper on my cell phone.

******* that's exactly mine! Truthfully I don't know too much about art (I am taking a humanities class so I do know more about it that the normal person but still, the more you know the more you know you don't know :p) So this isn't exactly an original choice but this work has always stuck with me... and I've seen the real thing.

If I was to pick a different one I'd have to go with either Albrecht Durer or Pieter Bruegel the Eldar, for the purpose of being original I'll go with Pieter Bruegel, specifically "Hunters in the Snow"

i don't know much about art, but after reading Girl with a Pearl Earring a few months ago, i fell in love with the work of Johannes Vermeer. his paintings are exquisite. most of them are within the same setting, reusing a lot of the same props, and even the same characters, but i find them totally mesmerizing.

i find his work so original. his use of lighting is amazing. i could literally look at some of these all day. i'll share some of my favorites here.

[oh, due to the French-Dutch war in 1672, the exact date on his work is not known. Vermeer later went bankrupt and died leaving his wife and kids with oodles of debt, so his wife was forced to auction off most of his work. so i'm copying/pasting the guesstimated dates from Wikipedia.]

One of my favorite paintings is The Fighting Temeraire, by JMW Turner:

Such a sad and beautiful depiction of the end of the Golden Age of Sail. When I first saw it, it made this sailor's daughter cry.

Acclaimed wilderness photographer Peter Dombrovskis, (1945 - 1996).
http://www.anbg.gov.au/biography/biog-pics/dombrovskis-peter.jpg

He showed the world the beauty of Tasmania with vividly striking photographs whish showed his true love for the pristine wilderness which is our island state. In 2003 he was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum - the first Australian to be accorded this honour.

http://www.sauer-thompson.com/junkforcode/archives/Dombrovski1.jpg
Here is his most famous photo Rock Island Bend
This iconic image was centre in the campaign to stop Tasmania's Hydro-Electric Commission damming the Franklin River. It appeared as a full-page advertisement in the Herald just before the 1983 federal election, the caption was "Would you vote for a party that would destroy this?" We won and the Franklin remains flowing free.

Cushion plants, Mount Anne, southwest Tasmania.

On a personal note ... Peter lived in my community and died in 1996 while photographing in the Western Arthur Range in southwest Tasmaniain doing what he did best. Liz, his widow still lives up here and we see each other often at the pub. My neighbour Chris Bell, was his protege and was on the search party that found his body. The last photo he took was of a gnarled weathered root wrapping around a lichined rock which spelled 'Liz'. :yup: :bawling:

What your stance in the debate as to whether or not Photography is art?

mark f

05-06-08, 01:09 AM

My stance is that it is. That's why I post Ansel Adams in here. It requires imagination, composition, light and dark, creativity, context, and it's done usually by one person. The photographer is usually the developer. Even when I don't develop my own photos, I dearly want to lay claim to their artistic merits, and if people agree with me, then I hope it's art.

I know people who claim that film, theatre and even music from bands aren't actually art because they involve multiple "artists", and art is somehow supposed to be a singular expression. I don't buy it, but what do you think, Pimpy?

I think photography is art. There is a method to it, the lighting, the pose, and the arrangement. Even when you try to take a random photo, there's an intent there to try and capture something. Art.

Photography is definitely Art ... it requires the same type of creative tap to capture the 'right moment' when light, shadow and texture are 'just right' :yup:

I wanted to do this in one post but I got impatient. I'm putting in some original art and photography that I did. Don't be to harsh in you're judgements.

The first picture is of a local band called 80HD from Cleveland
The second is a sculpture that I but in my Sculpture III class
The third is my best friend on a pier in Charleston, SC
The fourth is the crowd at the 80HD show
The fifth is the bassist from 80HD
Wanna know a cool trick? If you do, proceed to point A. If you do not, proceed directly to point B.

Point A:
When you're shooting a low light event (normally with lots of movement), like a concert or something, make your aperture hole smaller, turn the exposure time up, and turn your fill flash on. When you take your picture the flash will expose a still image on the "canvas" and the longer exposure time will allow you to move your camera around which will cause any forms of light to make swirls that will come out on top of the still image you made from the flash, and other cool stuff.

People usually point and pan/tilt the camera in the direction of the colored lights after the flash goes off. It makes for nifty color swirls.

Here's an example. It's not done very well, but you get the idea. I didn't take it.

J.D. Hillberry Trompe L' Oeil artwork in pencil and charcoal.

http://www.jdhillberry.com/images/which-came-first.jpg (http://www.jdhillberry.com/which_came_first_closeup.htm)

.
“Which Came First”

This entire image was drawn, including the tape, paper, and background mat board. It's 16 x 12 and rendered with charcoal , carbon, and graphite pencils. Charcoal for the mat background, and carbon and graphite for the other elements. The drawing is an illustration of the conundrum about the chicken and the egg, but I have included and additional visual paradox that adds to t he riddle. At the bottom of the picture, the pencil breaks the plane of the paper, making it appear to be taped to the drawing. However, the top of the pencil includes a cast shadow that follows the plane of the wooden ledge. This gives the impression that the pencil is taped to the wood in the image..

These aren't like what the most of you are posting, but they are some of my favorite types of pictures. I have a few others that I love as much, if not more, but I'm having trouble finding them at the moment.

I also love fantasy art, but I'm pretty sure Photobucket isn't going to host those. Not the pictures I have, anyway!
