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.

Edvard Munch

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.

striking--the cover to criticism for Flannery O'Conner

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?

David Hockney

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.
