I love this work in your parlor. And yes, from the first time I said it to the end of time, that room will be a parlor to me. It has bookcases, a piano and art. It's a parlor!

The name I couldn't think of last night was Richard Avedon. I saw an amazing exhibit of work he shot throughout the West. No one famous in an of them. The collection was called The American West. Full of stuff like this:

He's famous for stuff like this:

But he's so much more.

I'm also a big fan of Mapplethorpe, Annie Liebowitz and really, who doesn't love Wegman's silliness?

Maxfield Parrish, early 20th century American artist....this is entitled "Ecstasy".

Andrew, Jr. · 01-24-2010, 12:22 PM

I enjoy:
Diane Romanello as a painter
Paul Rhymer as a sculpturer
The Ward Brothers as decoy carvers (L.T. Ward, Jr. & Stephen Ward)

I hate when that happens! Once more....with feeling!

Down2marsboi · 04-23-2010, 04:07 PM

I can RELATE to MOST art forms and ARTISTS...But I do have to say that I LOVE Vincent Van Gogh, Marcel Mouly, and of course Peter Max.

little_ms_sunshyne · 11-01-2010, 08:38 PM

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!!!

naturlover_52 · 11-02-2010, 02:30 PM

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.

Fabulous!

I love Hopper and Rivera too.

Are you familiar witih Mark A Durham? I have a copy of "The Purrmeistress" in my office.

Am also a big fan of the surrealists - one favorite is Pierre Roy's "Danger on the Stairs."

chai~ · 01-25-2012, 04:54 PM

I do adore Gustav Klimt, the shapes, colors.
Some of the women muses looking so haughty and bitchy!

Others, completely ethereal~

I would love to do "The Tree of Life" on an entire bedroom wall. Minus the people on either end!

And I want to paint "Starry Night" on an upright piano.....just the sky and moon part!

great thread~

Hollylane · 01-25-2012, 05:07 PM

My friend, photographer Andrew Kaiser. Because in my opinion, he truly sees all that is beautiful in women...

Unfortunately, I can not show many here, because they are mostly works of art that are nudes. But Google him and you'll find much better examples of what I am talking about. He is incredible.

This is one of me, taken in September 2011...Not my favorite, but he loves it.

The artist himself...

barnes · 02-05-2012, 06:53 PM

not my favorite but an awesome artist !

MarquisdeShey · 12-01-2012, 03:00 PM

Frida Khalo - self portraits - she was an incredible artist and woman. Her colors and style gives me so much to think about and love.
