These are the weird things that pop into my mind when I see work like this. :blink: |
Diego Rivera :)
My favorite artist hands down is Diego Rivera. I like too many of his paintings to pick one. I love them for the rich colors and cultural representation! He is fantastic!!!

I have 2 paintings and 2 fave. Aritsts
the First is Vincent Vangough
and the second Is Georgia O'Keeffe anything by Georgia and Starry Starry night and Irises by Vin....V. |
For years I adored El Greco. The way he painted eyes and hands still amazes me. And that he placed himself in virtually all, if not all, group paintings is very funny to me.
Still love his work, but a number of years ago I came across a painting titled, Rosa LaRue A Montagne by Toulouse-Lautrec. Before then, I'd only known of his dance hall girls and advertisements. Rosa is totally different. I was drawn to the painting when I first saw her while browsing online, and was so surprised to find that he is the painter. I knew I had to see this painting in person and was delightfully surprised that she was a train ride away in Lower Merion, Pa. - The Barnes Foundation. Off I went, found her in room #22, and spent at least an hour looking at her from every possible angle. I also wrote about her - "Contemplating Rosa". And of course, I have a print. If anyone is interested in seeing this particular painting, the Foundation is moving to Center City Philadelphia. Sad in a way, because the Lower Merion location is a one of a kind; but good in a way because she will be a hands throw from me. Renoir, Matisse, Rembrandt, Rousseau, Modigliani, and more are also part of the Barnes collection. |

Hahahahahahaha.... I can hear Kathleen Turner now saying almost the same thing in John Water's film "Serial Mom" right before she murdered the woman because she was wearing white shoes(Patty Hearst) before "the season". :superfunny::clap::popcorn: |

I am a fan of Diego Rivera as well. |

Durham's pop art. A kitty with a crown! Thanks for the link. Glad you like Joe Brown's work too! |

Speaking of the Addams Family...I loved the portrait they had of the Giraffe (at the top of the stairs in their living room) intrigued me as a child and sparked my interest/love of the surreal. My Mom is responsible for my art education. She was an artist (as am I) and there were loads of books in our house. If we were traveling, she made sure we visited museums. She encouraged me and my brothers to nurture our inner artist and express ourselves in our favourite media. I had 4 years of art in high school and adored every second. But like her parents (who forbade her to study art in college - "You can't eat art!" - is what they told her), she did not encourage us to pursue a career in the arts. It was from her many books that I discovered Pieter Brueghel the Younger. What amazing works! Fascinating...I have spent hours searching some of his work. There is so much going on. |

In his novel "The Stepford Wives," Ira Levin included a character, Ike Mazzard, based on Vargas. He would draw portraits of the women before they were "Stepfordized" and then the new, improved version was an "Ike Mazzard girl." |
Favorite Artists
Lee Roberson - he is an artist in the Smoky Mountains. I have quite a few of his works hanging in my house, even a few unframed ones as well. His work speaks to me as I'm a great fan of the Smokies and a lil town called Townsend, TN. It's a great refuge for me and his paintings are typical of the area landscape. I have the one below hanging over my bed.
http://www.smokymtnmall.com/images/w...ymountains.jpg I also an a fan of Jim Booth. He's a Charleston, SC artist. I have several pieces of his work as well hanging in my house. One of my favorites is the one of the old Cooper River Bridges in Charleston, SC before their demolition. http://www.pressomatic.com/jimbootha...he-Bridges.jpg |

I have a guestion for art lovers here especially the lovers of Impressionist artists. I remember the teacher in art class showing us a painting that I just loved. And I have been looking for it for years on the internet. I believe it was either an Italian or a Spanard that painted it.
It shows a scene with St. Francis of Assis; a very detailed painting of him with animals. One can almost see the individual eyelashes on the subjects that is how detailed it is. I thought it was El Greco or Velaquez but have not see anything like that in their works. Anyone have any idea? |
Quote:
any of these? http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl...f&oq=&gs_rfai= From the description you provide it sounds like an Italian Renaissance painting, rather an Impressionist. But that is just a guess. One of my favourites of Francis is Caravaggio's 'St. Francis in Ecstasy' http://www.backtoclassics.com/images...sinecstasy.jpg I <3 Caravaggio! |
More memories of the painting. It was set outdoors with lots of trees. I checked out the link you provided (thank you very much) and it was not there. I HAVE to find it. LOL
