Art that you like

Will someone post some pictures by Klimt that illustrate what you are talking about?

never saw that Dali (above). Forgot about him, he's one of my favorites.

That is approximately the size of the actual painting 

One of the paintings I enjoy seeing in person the most:

Giorgio de Chirico

Corey,

Thank you.  I find him very interesting.

Does anyone have any favorite pictures by Picasso?  I like Guernica (hope that's spelled correctly), and the lady ironing from the blue period, also the The Old Guitarist from the blue period.

Constantin Brancusi

Thanks, Corey; as I said above, I didn't really have time for digging up links, myself...

But I'd feel bad if I didn't at least link my favourite of Gustav Klimt's paintings, and probably one of my favourite paintings in general: Danae



Unfortunately, I had trouble finding a link with decent quality and consistent colouring (which has a habit of changing radically between the prints people usually scan, but this isn't too bad. )


Also, one of my favourite works by Dali (which I have in a scan of my own from a good print, but in another computer), and hands-down my favourite "still life": Nature Morte Vivante





I'll be back with more!


(Edit) A new reply came as I was making this post. Drasko, that sculpture is amazing!

I used to be able to transfer a picture from another web site by either copy/paste or drag-n-drop.  Now neither of those methods will work.

How do others post the pictures?

You copy/paste the link to the picture in the post (i.e. the picture's own specific URL), select it and press the little "picture frame" icon in the post formatting options, or simply enclose said link between [img ] and [/img ] (without the spaces).

If Klimt has become unfashionable, might it be because he has been a little too popular/overused the last years? After all, his art (reproductions of it) has become the kind that hangs on the walls of waiting rooms at the doctor/dentist etc, (like e.g. Monet) and that's not good a thing for 'fashionability'..

Which is a shame, as his was a rare genius... Incidentally, am I the only one who thinks Renoir gives Monet a run for his money, as an impressionist?

Not that I don't like Monet: I love Monet. I even have a Monet print on my wall, which - along with my Klimt coffee-table portfolio, a calendar I was given as a present and a Rembrandt postcard - is essentially all the art I currently have in my house.

But I still feel a "tangible" difference in level, between him and Renoir, as impressionists. Something like what I feel about Ravel and Debussy, in the same area.

If you check it out from a couple feet away, you get a different image.

Thank you, Renfield.  Much appreciated.

He went looking for me while I was practicing, he got on top of the table and was slowly limping towards me, to beg for food

So!  I gave him a piece of lettuce which he is enjoying.

Pure smut and disgusting - could you send me her phone number?
