You've mentioned some of my favorites--
Klimt Parrish O'Keefe Chagall Degas Monet Manet ... I get really excited about seeing original work. In a museum, I can't always say what will strike my interest at any given time. I especially enjoy studying portraits from different time periods, and I love the detail in the Hudson River School paintings. We spent a long time at a Grandma Moses exhibit. The paintings, interspersed with her own possessions and history, were utterly fascinating.

I get updates from the Women Painting Women blog. Some fabulous painters. Today I realized I had missed one, Simone Bingemer. LOOK LOOK LOOK. There have been so many great women painters and since of course they don't get much advertisement, I don't see many on peoples favorite lists. There's so many out there who should be recognized for all they have contributed. I am tired of the old dead guys club. Last edited by Galahad; 01-25-2010 at 02:48 PM. Reason: ranting added on |

I like these two for different reasons, of course
![]() This one by Gerda Wegener is very playful to me; her other work more explicitly tackles issues of class. ![]() Raphael Perez's "Two Men" is so warm, in so many ways... ![]()

some amazing artists already mentioned here. I'd like to share some of my favourite artists/paintings/sculpture/arty architecture with you too.
I travelled to Madrid just to see several of my favourite paintings This was the one that made me take the trip - Las Meninas by Velazquez (I was surprised to discover how small the painting is) http://exterior.pntic.mec.es/fhua000...as-meninas.jpg I also managed to see Picasso's Guernica on that trip too http://homepage.mac.com/dmhart/WarAr...a/Guernica.JPG I am a fan of the Dutch Masters - the delicacy of light in many of the paintings is just awesome. http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=dutch+masters+paintings&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US ![]() I was mightily impressed by Rembrandt's The Night Watch which is at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, mainly because it must be the biggest painting I've ever seen also because of that luminosity of light Rembrandt was so good at. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/images/news/rijks_tefaf_wand_nachtwacht_final5%3Flarge&imgrefu rl=http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/nieuwsenagenda/nachtwacht-ontrafeld%3Flang%3Den&usg=__rPhi4E5y33lQVBufkor724-wdd4=&h=320&w=427&sz=28&hl=en&start=13&um=1&itbs=1 &tbnid=TC39pjNqzX1OnM:&tbnh=94&tbnw=126&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dthe%2Bnight%2Bwatch%26hl%3Den%26clien t%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US ![]() Barcelona is almost an whole town art installation. Parc Guell is amazing and is one of those places that you absolutely must visit at least once in a lifetime. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www-ma2.upc.es/~geomc/events/socg2002/parcGuell.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www-ma2.upc.es/~geomc/events/socg2002/ParcGuell.html&usg=__MpjHLrLiTaVeHTsQow0x3NP9o3A=& h=403&w=609&sz=90&hl=en&start=1&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid= tcysIAFW2PTBTM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=136&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dparc%2Bguell%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfir efox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US ![]() as is Sagrada Familia - also in Barcelona. Started in 1882 by Antoni Gaudi it is still being built and one of those places that you can go back to over the years and watch it's progress. http://www.sagradafamilia.cat/sf-eng/index.php Thus far Ingress and I haven't managed our usual trip to London at the start of the year to take in whatever exhibitions are currently showing and I don't think we will get a chance until after her Post Grad Cert. in Education (teacher training) is over. I particularly enjoyed the Annie Liebowitz retrospective at the NPG last year and Shibboleth at Tate Modern the year before. I would just love to go to the Guggenheim in Bilbao, the Uffizi in Florence and of course the New York Guggenheim too. apologies for the long links. |

Like you I first saw this in Pride & Prejudice. I am absolutely captivated by the work and would love to see it up close and personal.
