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?

Diva · 01-24-2010, 12:07 PM

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 have many favorites. Jia Lu is pretty amazing. There are so many talented creative people in the world I could never have just one favorite.

Corkey · 01-24-2010, 07:52 PM

I was working at the Maui art expo and was blown away by this artist. Nice guy and his studio is in Lahina if you ever get to go to Maui be sure to drop in.

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.

Ah, you dig snakes and such? Not my thing, but, I can appreciate the work.

Durham's pop art. A kitty with a crown! Thanks for the link.

Glad you like Joe Brown's work too!
