Art Appreciation Thread

Didnt persephone already make a thread like this?

 

lol my threads rarely catch on.


My favorite impressionist, Mary Cassatt.









Monet




O'Keef



Michaelangelo

 

I could get really pervy with this right here, but im not.

 

I love Wassily Kandinsky. I have a copy of this painting in my office. It's a poster that's traveled with me for probably 15 years- so it's a little worn, but I love it. I always said that if someone wanted a unique wedding gift for me (should it ever happen), I'd want a decent, framed copy of this.



This is another artist I stumbled upon recently. Leonid Afremov. I love his stuff!

 

She's an artist. Her thread was about her own artwork and those others on the board who do art. :smt023

 

I like that. ^

This guy must be on some crazy shrooms. ^


Damn.

 

I made one forever ago about art. lol I dunno if that's the one Kushton is remembering, though, cause the one I made was when I was new back in the day.

They're just threads! My toes are fine. lol I'm happy to see a thread about art with actual postings in it, honestly! Like I said, my stuff tends to not take off. lol

 

The Donation of Constantine, by
Gianfrancesco Penni or Giulio Romano

Just shows what you can do if you have a good teacher. This was made by Raphael's assistants.

It still boggles my mind how such beautiful images could be created with such simple pigment. If the old masters (and their assistants) had the paint we have today...wow. I just wonder what it would be like, though the first thought is "magnificent".

 

Awesome.

 

Pierre-August Renoir

 

For my friend, who reminded me that Dali deserves some appreciation, too.









And my favorite Dali piece, Burning Giraffe

 

More Luis Royo.
