Subject: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: bobad Date: 17 Mar 07 - 03:50 PM Checking out the threads on the help page I was reminded of a painting I had seen quite a few years back at MOMA in New York, it was by Miro and entitled Twittering Machine. For some reason this picture has always remained vivid in my memory, and got me curious about what paintings or works of art are especially memorable to others. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: bobad Date: 17 Mar 07 - 04:16 PM Colville can sure say a lot in a painting. He is also quite a thinking man, I just heard an interview with him this week and was impressed by his intellect. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Rapparee Date: 17 Mar 07 - 04:18 PM This one. Use the image enlarger feature. I've seen the original and it still haunts me. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: mack/misophist Date: 17 Mar 07 - 05:59 PM Being a rather sick bastard, I choose this. The version in red conte crayon is much better but there doesn't seem to be a copy on line. In truth, trying to pick just one or two is ridiculous, an exercise in frustration. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Liz the Squeak Date: 17 Mar 07 - 06:38 PM I love many works of art but there are few I could live with. This is one I do live with and evokes many feelings and memories and was painted by a friend of mine. It's not brilliantly executed or fantastically detailed, but I love it. The Choir As for recognised artists... M C Escher and Aubrey Beardsley are the only two I have in the house at present - but that's only for lack of wall space! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Bobert Date: 17 Mar 07 - 08:01 PM Well, well, well... Wish I could do the blue clicky things but, oh, this one is so hard... And having a BA in painting and printmaking and being dragged thru gallery after gallery in New York and DC by my om as a kid it ain't easy but... These are my favorite paintings which I can't put in any particualr order: 1. "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso which is in the Museuam of Modern Art in N.Y. which depicts the bombing of Guernica, the ancient Basque captial in Northern Spain... This is the greatest anti-war painting ever painted... 2. "The Third of May, 1808" by Franscico Goya which is probably the 2nd best anti-war painting ever painted... 3. "The Death of Marat" by Jacques Louis David 4. "The Vision After the Sermon", better known as "Jacob Wrestling with the Angels" by my favorite painter of all time, Paul Guaguin... and 5. "The Potato Eaters" by Vincent Van Gogh... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Rapparee Date: 17 Mar 07 - 09:13 PM Rodin's Fallen Caryatid (and this isn't a good picture) epitomizes for me the person who carries the burden for as long as they can and collapses still carrying it. And then there's "La Belle Heaulmiere" too.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Sorcha Date: 17 Mar 07 - 09:20 PM I find it just a bit disturbing that most of are favorites are 'disturbing'. Oh, piss off you Cally nut case. Take yer meds. Maybe someday you'll actually get banned but I doubt it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 18 Mar 07 - 02:06 AM Wagner Art Gallery Specialists in Australian Fine Art Click on Past exhibits, then Summer show & scroll down to Neil Taylor Creation 7 - A day between the stars & dawn I found this painting because I saw a painting of a woman & cat used to advertise an exhibition in the Art pages of the local paper. I found the gallery website & copied the cat pic to add to my cats & also copied the Taylor. sandra |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: The Walrus Date: 18 Mar 07 - 05:59 AM I recall visiing the Musee d'Orsay and suddenly being confronted by van Gogh's Church at Auvers.* After working for a while with natural pigments and the muted palette of pre-mid 19th Century works+ and then passing through the museum's earlier period galleries, the van Gogh was somewhat akin to being hit by a bucket of cold water on a hot day It was the sheer vibrance and the face-slapping brightness and boldness of the use of area of the new** synthetic colours which seemed to leap out of the canvas (possibly the first time I'd really understood the term "in-your-face" used of a painting). The best of it is, I'm not really a fan of van Gogh's style (personally I'd rather have Vermeer or something Pre-Raphaelite), but just once in a while.... I'm whittering - shutting up now! W *The reproduction doesn't do the colours justice. + Copies and prints for colour matching and 'infilling' exercises ** New at the time of painting |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: jacqui.c Date: 18 Mar 07 - 08:02 AM I have a copy of Awakening on my bedroom wall, a present from my son a few years ago. It brings back memories of my grandparents' home, where I first saw it. I have two favourites, both to be found in the Tate Modern, not my favourite place but home to two wonderful pieces. They have a copy of Rodin's The Kiss there and I can walk around that for an age, just noticing afresh the detail. In one of the galleries there is a small picture of the wall of a room, with a half glassed door, I think. I can't remember the name or the artist but it is the one I immediately think of in this context. It has just such a feeling of peace, of coming home. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Rapparee Date: 18 Mar 07 - 09:15 AM I can't find my favorite editorial cartoon, but you may have seen it. It's from the 1930s and shows the skeleton of war, dressed as a prostitute, saying to a young man, "Come on up. I used to know your daddy." |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Rapparee Date: 18 Mar 07 - 11:15 AM Ray Troll is an artist I "discovered" around 1987. He lives and works out of Ketchikan, Alaska and is best known for his work on, believe it or not, fish. However, he also illustrates Alaska, nature, and MANY other things, some of which are not pretty. Look around at his work and if you want to buy stuff online you can. I just bought three more Ray Troll tee-shirts, including The DaVinci Cod one. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: KT Date: 18 Mar 07 - 12:48 PM Lee Teter is quickly becoming my favorite contemporary artist. It's impossible to choose only one favorite, but Here and here are two for starters..... And this one's very definitely in the memorable category. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Alec Date: 19 Mar 07 - 05:33 AM Given that Guernica & Arnolfini have already been cited I would opt for Personal Values (Magritte) & The Fighting Temeraire (Turner) |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Rapparee Date: 19 Mar 07 - 09:33 PM I'd seen it before, but today I found out where to buy this poster, called "Reflections." I bought two: one for me, one for my brother. I may buy a third for my other brother. They cost me USD 75.00 each, unframed, but the artist has donated all the money to the VVA. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Donuel Date: 19 Mar 07 - 09:41 PM Anything by Bellini or how my next one feels before I do it. then it falls away and I feel favorite hope for my next one. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: KT Date: 20 Mar 07 - 01:27 AM I posted a link to that one, too, Rapaire. The first time I laid eyes on it in a gallery, I stood in front of it for a good thirty minutes. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: GUEST,Tunesmith Date: 20 Mar 07 - 03:44 AM The first time I visited Paris, I headed straight for the Louvre. I was very keen on seeing my favourite Impressionist/ Post-Impressionist paintings. Alas, they weren't in The Louvre but in a small gallery close to the Place de la Concorde. I thought I would be overwhelmed by the experience - but I wasn't! My love affair with art ended there. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: fat B****rd Date: 20 Mar 07 - 04:08 AM Some fascinating contributions here, thank you. A couple of years ago we went to Malta and spent a day in Valetta. I'd read that Caravaggio's "The Decapitation Of John The Baptist" was at the Cathedral so we went to look at it. It's a big work and can only be viewed from a few feet away as it's more of an altar piece. The German lady in front of us suddenly indicated the painting " came over all emotional" and had to be helped out by her husband. I've been to a few galleries and seen quite a lot of works with religious themes but never seen such a reaction anywhere else. Your observations please. Pretentious IknowwhatIlike fB. Peace, could you put up a Clicky of this work maybe, please. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: GUEST Date: 20 Mar 07 - 06:15 AM Christ of St \john on the Cross by Salvador Dali whihc I first saw when I was about eleven during a school trip to the kelvingrove museum in Glasgow, they moved it to the multi faith centre near the Cathederal but it just wasn't quite the same, didn't have the same impact of seeing as you came up the stairs in the kelvingrove. However, its now been moved back so am planning a visit to see it back 'home'. Lady of Shallot by Waterhouse in The Tate has been a fav for years and I was lucky enough to see it for the first time a few years ago, considered doing it for my fourth year dissertation!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Rapparee Date: 20 Mar 07 - 08:27 AM Sorry, KT. I probably stole your link without realizing it. As I said, I bought two copies of "Reflections." There's a woman at work whose husband had PTSD, among other things, from 'Nam. He's been in and out of treatment, but it's very, very bad. She's thought about getting him a copy but she doesn't know how he would react. He was the sole survivor of his squad, among other things.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite/Memorable Painting/Art Work From: Bill D Date: 20 Mar 07 - 09:08 AM Any of the self-portraits by Rembrandt. Especially this one. It's as close as I can imagine being to the man. Likewise, this one of Gustave Courbet |
