Edward Hopper painted New York Movie as an oil on canvas in 1939. It is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

I did a version of this for a class in which we were to have a visual conversation vis a vis existing works of art. Certainly inspires one to think creatively. Nonetheless, this is, in my opinion, a great drawing. Picasso is another fave.

@SuperFemme, do you happen to know who did that first Don Quixote themed painting you posted? I really liked it and would love to see some of the artist's other work.

Hieronymus Bosch - Death and Miser
All his paintings are really huge, believe it or not this is one of the smaller ones. If it's still too big lemme know and I can just drop a link in instead.

Akseli Gallen-Kallela - Kullervo's Curse

Marten Eskil Winge - Tors strid med jättarna/Thor's fight against the giants

I really like John Howe's art as well. He does mostly Beowulf and Tolkien/fantasy themed stuff. His site blocks you from left clicking so here are a few links to some favourites.

The Argonath http://www.john-howe.com/portfolio/g...hp?image_id=86
Moria Gate http://www.john-howe.com/portfolio/g...hp?image_id=78
Boromir http://www.john-howe.com/portfolio/g...?image_id=1700
Beowulf and the Dragon http://www.john-howe.com/portfolio/g...?image_id=2160

I saw one of my fav artists....M C Ecsher at a local exhibit this weekend. One of my alltime favs. Could have been an ispration..I learned a lot about him.

BestButchBoy · 04-09-2010, 03:52 AM

Classic Georgia O'Keeffe New York years---one of my favorites. Great composition, and well, composition is everything!

My favorite artist is Gustav Klimt. I love all his work, but one of my favorites is "Danae". I am technologically challenged and I'm not sure how to post a pic of it here. But here is a link.

I'm not sure about the creator, but this is magnificent...I've always been "drawn" to O'Connor's work and her own conflict with christianity....

The crit book is entitled "Obedient Imagination"--apt, eh?

I am particularly fond of Hockney's photography, however, I also appreciate his simplistic (and similarly stylized) paintings. Geometry seems to play a key role in a lot of Hockney's pieces. Check out this web site, if you so desire.
