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.

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 …

Gallo's poetry is awful and rhythmless, you'd do better without it. Lord Byron, however, is responsible for one of my favorite lines:

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.

Get a grip. Gallo is the best. Basqiuat is a jerk.

Django 09-02-03 07:32 PM

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.
Pretty profound, in my opinion.
