DenDen Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 That separation pic is almost scarey, Thats something I would put on my wall !! The only thing touched up on that picture is the color. It was the 1st time I experienced Florida's "coast effect", and it was quite spooky. (Right now, I would welcome and rain, it's been so friggin hot down here.

Jose Eber Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm a huge, huge fan of An Experiment on a Bird in an Air-Pump by Joseph Wright of Derby. So much so, made a trip out to the National Gallery (London) to see it. Its just awesome -- so relevant for today and my hands down favorite (by a landslide) painting. better lighting: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 My favorite contemporary artist is Heidi Hesse: I effing love her earlier work!!! I want to buy this piece: Its amazing. There is a tiny little fountain installed above a plate of glass (filled withabout an inch of water) and it makes the greatest space (inside). Her whole show was friggen amazing. Check out her website for this earlier archived work. 'mAzing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddymonster Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Surrealism has always been fascinating to me. Salvador Dali is easily my all-time favorite artist. BTW...this thread is way too sweet to let die with out more posts...cheers to USRoadTripper! 8) Christ (one of his most beautiful works, IMO) Elephants Reflecting Swans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chauncey Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 My favourite work of art is "The guitar lesson" by Balthus. I love it because it's shocking. Too shocking to post here, most likely. My favourite artist is Odilon Redon. All of the attached images are his, and in the collection of MOMA. The window. The windmill. The trees. The teeth. The masque of red death. The fight of the centaurs. The fairy. The eye, like a strange balloon, mounts towards infinity. The eye flower. The accused. Silence. Christ.

Nrthwnd Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I honestly admit, I have no real fave amongst all the artists and illustrationists in the world, past and present/future.... But, this TPR Art Gallery is most enjoyable to 'stroll thru.' And I fully agree with Teddymonster - keep this 'gallery' alive and pulsing with art and art projects. Old and new. Favorites, and...debatables. Nuthin'likes a bit'o cultcha, eh? And to RoadTripper for the thread's start. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragoncoaster1292 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I love Salvadore Dali's works. They are so surreal, they make you look hard at them, trying to find the details of the painting. He was such an amazing artist. For some reason, I love this one: Awesome picture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
