[D' Artagnan]

Attach them here if possible ! I love the end of 18 th century to 19th cent. paintings ( neo-classical period IIRC ). I don't have a favorite painter though.

Well , what are your favorite paintings ?

[Skullbones]

Franz von Stuck "Sin"

Uh oh skullbones..
Even though its art, mods might not like that.
Any way, i like several Dali paintings.
I also like that one BIG self portrait Chuck Close did9 with all the little colored boxes. He is crippled and has to paint with his mouth and a machine so he breaks everything down into a grid and induvidually paints every cube to make it look like something. If any of you guys can attach thaat painting would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Skullbones]

This one's a self-portrait of Leon Spilliart.

@China

I didn't think about that, but it's not exactly porn.

 

[superunknown]

I love this one. Its called The Breaking Wave Off Kanagawa . Woodblock print from Hokusai's(1760-1849) series Thirty-six Views of Fuji.

 

[D' Artagnan]

@ Skullbones

Nice auto-portrait from an extra-terrestrial being
No, really, doen't he look like an alien ? ( at least his painting does )



Note : Please post the painter's nationality and/or the year in which it was painted, whenever it is possible.

 

[Kentonio]

Starry night by Mr Vincent Van Gogh.

 

[D' Artagnan]

@ kentonio

Yeah, this one is high on my list

@Skullbones
I didnt say it was porn, I was just warning you. I dont think Lefty will consider it porn either.

 

[Pillager]

Canaletto

I posted a couple in a thread on this a few months ago:

The Annheuser Busch "Custer's Last Fight" is one I've always loved. I actually have it hanging up in my "room" at my fathers house. unfortunately i can't find a pic of it with better quality then this. custer's dead body is in the middle.

 

[Zarn]

The Last Supper by Leonardo.


I wouldn't show that image, Skullbones.

 

[china444]

@Zarn-
I dont think AoA or Lefty will get THAT upset about 'Sin'.
They might just give him a warning, if any.

I know, but I don't want any tension. I'm fine with it, personally.

I started a thread like this a few months ago. You can see many of my favorite paintings there.

Leave the decisions to the mods, no point in speculation!

I like anything by M.C. Escher, also I like Indian/Hindu art with all the Gods and arms and stuff going on. And I love those Indian statues, the females are much, much more appealing then the lumpy European ones missing arms and heads. Give me a big busted Indian chick any day of the week who sees sex as an art not a sin (as long as she doesn't have a unibrow ).

I always get off-topic, don't I? Sorry 'bout that.
