After all seeing the inspiring work by n/s users and Artpad, i've decided to create a thread where you can post your favourite art.

*Note this is a thread to post your favourite artwork, not Artpad work ..yes I don't care if your favourite art is on artpad .. get some culture people :p

My personal favourite:

http://a1259.g.akamai.net/f/1259/5586/1d/images.art.com/images/PRODUCTS/large/10009000/10009435.jpg

I love Roy Lichtensteins work.

Now the rest of you, post away!

A 56k warning should probably be in place.

w00t a reply, and a fine one at that, the woman is beautiful.

Who made this?

Hieronymus Bosch is a good artist:
http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/delight/delightr.jpg
That's part of "The Garden of Earthly Delights (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/delight/)"

"The Last Judgement (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/judge/)"
"The Temptation of St. Anthony (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/tempt-ant/)"
"Death and the Miser (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/death-miser/)"
"The Ship of Fools (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/fools/)"

The Kiss is Klimt.

A tie with Starry Night for the most prevalent dorm poster on the planet.

Nice!

Thanks for the answer :)

I also like Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bruegel/rebel-angels.jpg
That's "The Fall of the Rebel Angels", my favorite of his.

"The Triumph of Death (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bruegel/death.jpg)"
"Dulle Griet (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bruegel/mad-meg.jpg)"
"The "Little" Tower of Babel (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bruegel/littlebabel.jpg)"
"The Hunters in the Snow (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bruegel/hunters.jpg)"

You People are all crazy. Check out Paul Gauguin:

That's a good thing, right?

http://www.spanisharts.com/prado/goya/saturno.htm

This is my favorite piece, just because it scares the crap out of me, i had to write a reflection on it for humanities last year...was...fun. See if you can get a bigger version, i mean if that shit was on the wall i'd probably run away. Oh yeah, and whats so special about the kiss? Everyone obsesses over it, but it looks all flat and bleh... looks like a piece of a bad medieval mosaic to me more than anything. Can anyone explain whats so special about it?

That's a good thing, right?

Sure is :D

Jan van Eyck:

Man in a Red Turban (http://pc235.cs.cas.cz/hakl/Art_Galery/Eyck_Jan_van,_1395-1441/A_Man_in_a_Red_Turban,_1433_.jpg)

See this link (http://girl-with-a-pearl-earring.20m.com/Girl_with_a_Pearl%20Earring_The_Turban.htm) for some musings on the turban's prominence in European garb and portraiture from the 15th to the 17th century.

the triumph of death by the way is probably my second favorite,i mean, what a scene that is! i cant imagine drawing all that in such minute detail. Thats an amazing work

here are a few good ones (Alex Grey is one of my favorite artists - he did all but the first one):

Whoah that goya one is NICE holy crap man, what is that one called? He was a dark little guy eh? I like his "Colossus" too, he was just a badass artist.

Those. Are. Awesome.

Damnit, I don't get it.
All I can appreciate them for is being well drawn, nothing more. And I like the last one best. The organ-guy.
Sometimes I wish I could understand pictures.

I don't really like Alex Grey's work but I respect him. He is original, and insanely technically skilled. He did the art for Tool's Lateralus album.

Ooh, H.R. Giger!
Nice choice.
EDIT:
Didn't he work on the concpet designs for the film "Alien"? I think I saw something like that on his website.

He did. I think his works with the biomechanoids are the best, though.

Giger did indeed.

And whoa... Subumba.... really nice pics for the second batch. Especially the first one. Morbid... but very very cool.

yeah I like him and yes he did

he also has a bar in New York that he did all the interior design for I think.

also he designed a microphone stand for korn which looked pretty kuhl.

EDIT:

Dali is my favourite artist. This (http://www.der-bilderladen.de/grafik/gross/dalifrautiger.jpg) is probably my favourite of his works, but it's really hard to choose. Gerals Scarfe was simply incredible in Pink Floyd's The Wall. Such as his memorable flowers (http://www.animaart.com/thewall/images/flower%201.jpg).

Giger did indeed.

And whoa... Subumba.... really nice pics for the second batch. Especially the first one. Morbid... but very very cool.


thanks... another favorite artist.

i like my art otherworldly

also he designed a microphone stand for korn which looked pretty kuhl.
I was wondering who made that mic stand!
That's cool, Giger does everything!

I heard he was going broke and was starting to sell off a lot of his work.

some one was also tellign me that he stole his style from someone else but I didnt listen cuz I didnt want to believe it

Dali is my favourite artist.

Dali's awesome I have this (http://www.physics.miami.edu/~chris/art/dali/toreador.jpg) in my lounge room (not the real one, obviously). I could spend hours in front of it.

Norman Rockwell's "Golden Rule"

http://paradigmassociates.org/12_full.jpg

http://www.normanrockwellvt.com/Big.jpg/The%20Dugout.jpg

Norman Rockwell is my favorite artist because i think he painted America the way people wanted to see it. Full of hope, faith, potential, innocence. I think he believed that young people represented the best of America. That painting is my favorite of his. I love baseball, and though my favorite team is the Braves, i will always have a special place in my heart for the Cubs because they are perennial underdogs.

That is my second favorite Eutrusca.

Recently, I've really been into Wassily Kandinsky's paintings, and especially Yellow Red Blue (http://www.geo.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~gkaufman/neat_stuff/pics/art/yellow_red_blue_kandinsky.jpg). Black Violet (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/kandinsky/kandinsky.black-violet.jpg) and Farbstudie Quadrate (http://www.respree.com/scstore/graphics/ladlad-ea078.jpg) also rock.

I've always been a big Salvador Dali fan. The Persistence of Memory (http://www.artofcolour.com/painting-profile/profiles-no4-files/dali-memory.jpg) (which he painted after hearing about Einstein's Theory of Relativity), and The Temptation of St. Anthony (http://www.fotos.org/galeria/data/520/3Salvador-The-Temptation-of-St.jpg) have always been some of my favorites by him. A lot of his stuff is just scary though. He was a weird guy.

M.C. Escher, of course. Relativity (http://www.astrosurf.com/lombry/Images/escher-relativity.jpg), Waterfall (http://windshoes.new21.org/art-gallery/escher/20-escher_waterfall.jpg), and Three Worlds (http://windshoes.new21.org/art-gallery/escher/15-escher_3worlds.jpg) being some of my favorites. All of those Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Neo-Impressionist cats are cool in my book too: Georges Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (http://www.artunframed.com/images/reynolds55/seurat18.jpg), Van Gogh's Starry Night (http://digilander.libero.it/betaonline/wallpaper/starry-night.jpg), and pretty much anything by Monet (http://images.google.com/images?as_q=Monet&svnum=10&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&imgsz=small%7Cmedium%7Clarge%7Cxlarge&as_filetype=&imgc=&as_sitesearch=&safe=off).

That is my second favorite Eutrusca.
Kewl. Glad to find someone who likes Rockwell.

I love lots of different sorts of art. My second favorite artist is Dali, and I love some of the fantasy paintings others have posted on here. I may even copy some of the pics to put in my collection. But Rockwell will laways be my favorite for his idealization of Americana.

EDIT: We use to have Rockwell's "Four Freedoms" hanging in our dining room. The kids still mention those. My ex took them and gave them to the kids when we split, so I can still see them when I visit. :)

You have good taste! :D

The Kiss is Klimt.

A tie with Starry Night for the most prevalent dorm poster on the planet.

Funny...we have starry night our dorm living room, along with Girl With A Pearl Earring (http://gallery.euroweb.hu/art/v/vermeer/03b/22pearl.jpg) .

However, Vermeer's The Astronomer (http://www.mezzo-mondo.com/arts/mm/vermeer/VEJ012_L.jpg) is my favorite work of art.

I'm a big Vermeer fan.

I have a print of Rockwell's Young Lovers on my wall. I have also had a couple of wall calendars of his art, so before throwing them out, i took out all the pictures. I like Dali too, and Picasso, and Andy Warhol.

The Kiss is Klimt.

A tie with Starry Night for the most prevalent dorm poster on the planet.

Strangely, I've yet to see The Kiss in a dorm. Then again, most of my friends are science majors, and many don't have much of an appreciation for art whatsoever.

The only time I've ever seen a poster of The Kiss is in the apartment of a friend back in my home town; she had painted The Kiss for an art history project and the painting had kind of stuck with her, and was later replaced with the poster.

I don't know about favorites, but I have a collection of three William S. Phillips works titled "Moments To Remember"
When Prayers Are Answered (http://pages.slu.edu/student/wohlfojm/When_prayers_are_answered.jpg)
Dawn, The World Forever Changed (http://pages.slu.edu/student/wohlfojm/Dawn,%20the%20world%20forever%20changed.jpg)
Into The Throne Room Of God (http://pages.slu.edu/student/wohlfojm/Into%20the%20throne%20room%20of%20God.jpg)

Here's a few by some of my favorite "lesser knowns"...

Joel-Peter Witkin's photos:

Hans Bellmer's "dolls":

and I have a particular taste developed for Japanese scoll art, such as this one by Gyokukan
http://www.sanaiantiques.com/items/358044/en1store.html

I love the works of Albert Bierstadt
Good stuff! If you've seen his work in person, it looks like it's backlit, it really "glows".

Wow.

Yes! Validation!

On the Geiger stuff above: The bar in question is "the Geiger room" at the Limelight. Which is itself a converted cathedral. Somewhere, a lot of cardinals are rolling over in their graves.

Anyone have any more artists to share with us?

It's one of my favorites too, the title i believe is ''The Persistence of Time''

http://www.seattlecatholic.com/images/articles/StMichael.jpg

I've always liked the art of many of these different artists, but Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" has always intrigued me, and almost hits me on a more "emotional" level.

http://images.art.com/images/products/large/10090000/10090948.jpg

The interest choice in the way he colors the night, with the diner being the only lit "beacon" in the surrounding darkness reminds me of my own penchant for the solitary night life, and empty, moody, smoke filled diners.

In my opinion, an excellent, beautiful and stark piece.

Quite many of my favourites have already been mentioned, even Ernst to my surprise.

I also like Miró, Malevitch, Kandinsky, Cézanne, Dürer. Big names I haven't seen on this thread yet. I'm surprised Toulouse-Lautrec and Chagall haven't been mentioned yet.

And Rodin, Gropius, Le Corbusier. Allthough many will say that Gropius and Corbusier were not artists at all.

Very nice.

My favourite Tordia piece, I cannot seem to locate anywhere on the internet... it is called "Girl", and is the predecessor to the Melancholy picture... painted about ten years earlier, and in a much more pastel pallet.

It was the piece that first attracted me to his work... when I found it in a book of evolving Georgian art.

Shame I can't find it online, really. :( It's quite lovely.

I don't think he's a big name outside of the confines of Georgia... I notice that LondonArt is selling his works at just a few thousand pounds each. (One of those occassions I wish I had some money...)

There's a little more information about him at: http://exhib.internet-academy.org.ge/fine_arts/tordia/eng/

(There also seems to be a better lit version of Melancholy).

I'll try anyway. Russian art (as he was born in USSR) is quite well covered around here.

Call me a nerd if you want to, but these are great works of art (not very fond of art though, to be honest)...
