Diva · 03-09-2010, 05:30 AM

Pre~Raphaelite, Dante Rossetti (brother of Victorian poet, Christina Rossetti)

Venus Verticordia, 1864-68

NJFemmie · 03-09-2010, 07:46 AM

I have a passion for surrealism.

NJFemmie · 03-09-2010, 03:08 PM

... and I also have a passion for the classic artists.... esp. Victorian era (architecture, sculpture, et al..)

There is no "favorite" ... just what moves me at any given time.

Been a bit taken with these of late....

NJFemmie, Do you have the name of the Cloud Balloon artist or a link to where you found it? I have been looking for it for some time now.

I appreciate art and have many favorites. It all depends on medium, style and subjects. Fernando Botero from Latin America I like, especially his still life, although The Bathroom (four down) is considered one of his best known.

Jet · 03-27-2010, 03:07 PM

One artist I really like is Vincent Fantuazzo from Australia.

Jet · 03-27-2010, 03:57 PM

Another artist extraordinaire is Jonathan Yeo of Britian. The collages of Bush's face and the woman's figure were made from clippings of porn magazines.
The oils are Tony Blaire and Dennis Hopper.

(San Francisco) hangs the painting:

The Russian Bride's Attire

1869

Oil on canvas, 110 x 147 in. (279.4 x 373.4 cm)

Artist: Konstantin Makovsky (1839 - 1915)

Due to it's magnificent presence it as if you are standing in the room with the wedding party. If to only hear the words being bantered about...

Give me a day at The Legion and I feel I have seen a part of heaven.

I love the Pre-Raphaelites in General but
"Flaming June" Lord Fredrick Leighton in particular

The first time I saw it I was still closeted and I was at my fiance's house, it was in an art history book that I was looking through while waiting for his mom and sisters to finish cooking dinner. I was mesmerized by her body through the fabric especially her nipple. I looked at the picture so long that my then fiance came over and stood behind me to see what I was looking at, he must have stood there for 5 min before I noticed.

This is a beautiful piece of work. A couple of my friends have copies of it.

The Ecstasy of St. Teresa
Bernini 1650 something or another

I love this sculpture for the faces, the calm delight of the angel with the arrow about to relieve the panting straining anticipation of St Teresa (as evidenced by her orgastic expression) I love religious art that parallels the divine penetration with a more carnal one.

JakeTulane · 03-29-2010, 05:00 PM

This is a Georgia O'Keefe painting titled Red Canna. This painting was used in the Human Flower Project. There is a part of it that speaks to Me.. because of the fiery image it conveys. In using it for the Human Flower Project - My take on that would be the painting depicting blood red.. almost to the direction of our own red blood cells.

Diva · 03-29-2010, 05:13 PM

Michael Parkes........his work amazes and astounds me....This is entitled "Venus".

Daywalker · 03-29-2010, 05:19 PM

Back in the 70's I used to visit record shops in the neighborhood and would
peruse through the posters and seem to get personally attached to a few that
were by an artist named John Pitre. Still, to this day..I have a 3 part series
of posters that I saved my pennies to buy as a kid, one that hangs next to
me as I type called 'A New Dawn'. It can be found here on his site:

http://www.johnpitre.com/socio.html

I also own the ones titled 'Overpopulation' and 'Restrictions'.

I wrote to John last year and he was amazed that I still had the originals.
He also offered to sign and frame the 3 as new prints for 90 bucks
each...which I thought was cool of him to offer,
just don't have the extra funds to do so.

But it was awesome to have found his site,
and to know that he is still creating stuff today.
