Ok, so I thought it might be nice to have a thread purely dedicated to art and artists, galleries and exhibitions.

I figure we can share pics and links to artists and paintings that we enjoy and learn a few things too. Plus there'll be all that lovely art to look at! :D

So my favorite Aussie artists are Sidney Nolan and Frederick McCubbin.

Nolan's Kelly Series is my all time favorite

http://www.pictureaustralia.org/nolan/


McCubbin's Down on His Luck and the triptych The Pioneer are also firm favorites.

So who are your favorite artists?
What are your favorite paintings? sculptures? installations?
What galleries and exhibitions are in your area that you've been lucky enough to visit?
What arty farty things do you enjoy? :)
NOPE!!!

    Hi Jeanie
    Wow those McCubbins are fantastic! They look like photographs. I've never seen them

    My favorite artists are Monet and Dali

    I've been to MoMa (Museum of Modern Art) http://www.moma.org/
    the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim,
    in the city
    I'm sure I've been to others but that's what I can think of off the top of my head

    let's see in other cities I've been to the art museums in Ft Lauderdale.. in Buffalo, the Albright-Knox, the art museum in Seattle, SF's MoMa

    of course you know I dream of seeing the Louvre, one day :)

    you know what else I like, I like photography, I like Ansel Adams work
    gosh darnit making me think now Jeanie :p

    Good idea for a thread. I know there was one ages ago that D2D started, but it’s been awhile. Besides rock posters I also collect wildlife art. Below are some of my favorite artists. :)

    okay, can i say how much i *love* this thread already?! :)

    i love so many types of art, from classical to modern - it's hard to pick a favorite. for painters i enjoy dali, monet, rembrandt, carravagio, da vinci, early picasso (blue period and early cubism), van gogh, klee, chagall, sergeant, turner. for sculptors, rodin, brancusi, michelangelo.

    i adore visiting museums and have been blessed to have seen some amazing exhibits. some that immediately come to mind:

    - the dali museum in figueres....seeing the landscape as my best friend and i drove there from barcelona. recognizing it from his paintings, and seeing where he was buried.

    - the louvre was like performing some sort of pilgrimmage, took my breath away even though we only covered one wing in a whole day! the mona lisa was very anti-climactic for me...the painting i enjoyed more was the madonna of the rocks in the hallway outside where the mona lisa was. could get close to see the brushstrokes undisturbed.

    - kunsthistorisches in vienna...seeing stuff that hitler had studied when in art school gave it a weird sorta vibe, but beautiful collection

    - rodin's museum in paris, was his old house. the unfinished sculptures outside were so intriguing. like figures fighting to escape

    seeing such things feeds the soul, i love it :) i'll share more for sure when i got more time but thats for starters :p hee

    Love monet and dali! :)

    I'm also a big fan of Munch's Scream

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream

    I'd love to go to the guggenheim. They had an exhibition of some of the guggenheim stuff here recently. I missed it. :( And MoMa. Well actually any art gallery really. I mean the Louvre I'd love to be able to spend more time at. It's just too much to take in in one day.

    Oh! and Allie? I LOVE Ansel Adams! :)

    ah! twas dream? :D should have known! I remember it but couldn't find it.

    Is it just me or is there something really cool about saying "tufted puffins"? :D

    I love that picture of the lions in the tree in the jungle. But then I do love wildlife pics in general. there's something very Jungle Book about it. :)

    Oh wow! Cool! I saw a lot of his work when I lived in California.

    I had a poster of that Dali, the one with the clocks that look like they're melting? Something about time and space? You must know what I mean. I have a Monet poster in my apt, I got it at Ikea :) Ikea has really nice artwork! I really like anything that looks celestial, it must be the Piscean thing


    What's going on with the bees Jeanie?

    I also love Ansel Adams and missed the guggenheim! I love all of these lol, it's why our walls are full and no place to put the many I have in sleeves and the many more that I know I'll buy. :( Art just makes me happy though. :)

    Yup! Mine too! And the very first prints I ever owned!
    I think my Gran's cousin married Sidney Nolan. I think it was Sidney Nolan. :confused: Might have been Arthur Boyd??? Anyway, they did live in Murrumbeena around the corner from my Gran's house. :)

    Funnily I felt the same about the Mona Lisa chiq. I could only see it by craning my neck over the heads of what seemed like a bus load of asian tourists with cameras. it was like one of those crowd swarm things. I started to walk toward it and bang, this massive crowd got in front of me. God love em! :D And the louvre was like a pilgrimage. :)

    yeah it was like she was this celebrity with all these people clamouring to see her, and flash bulbs going off. had a paparazzi vibe to it. i felt bad for the other paintings in that room, talk about fighting for attention lol

    i'd love to spend a lot of time in paris and visit every wing in the louvre...might take me a whole week!

    Its a great pic!

    I love Henri Toulouse Lautrec. I read a book about him when I was a kid and it forged a deep, life long addiction for the Moulin Rouge! :D I so wanted to be a dancer there! Even with no knickers!

    I also adore Degas. Especially the dancer pictures. But that might have something to do with all that ballet I did as a kid! :D

    Mum has a book here on him I think and I did see this really great documentary on him on the ABC a while ago. I've never forgotten it or him.
    Me and the guggenheim have got a date though, so at some point I will see it!

    Here's some people I like:

    Mark Ryden
    Kathy Olivas
    Lori Earley
    Greg Simkins aka Craola
    Joel Peter Witkin
    Joyce Tenneson
    Jon J Muth
    Kent Williams

    My husband and I collect original comic book art or art related to comics.

    I'm also a big fan of the Pre-Raphaelites and John Wiliam Waterhouse. Also Art Nouveau as movement. And of course, Japanese art.

    I feel very lucky to live not terribly far from DC so we have several museums to choose from if we feel like seeing art and many of them are free. I think the last exhibit we saw was of Edo period Japanese art, including some woodblocks of Hokusai.

    Tis the clean version, but the opening line is :

    Went down to Santa Fe, where Renoir paints the walls,
    described you clearly, but the sky began to fall

    Am I ever gonna see your face again?

    I won't go into the chant part of the chorus we all sing here and bring the thread down to a lowbrow level. :D
