psichick Member	posted 03-25-2001 09:43 AM Monet is my favorite artist because of his ability to capture the ethereal quality of light. My favorite is one of his water lilies, but not this one: IP: Logged
psichick Member	posted 03-25-2001 09:46 AM My second favorite artist is Van Gogh. I like Starry night very much: IP: Logged
psichick Member	posted 03-25-2001 09:57 AM Ah, here it is. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (not far from me) has it in its collection (my favorite water lilies). I have a copy of it. It seems to have a woman's face in it, doesn't it? IP: Logged
uhuru1701 Member	posted 03-25-2001 01:12 PM First, the artist. SALVADOR DALI AND WIFE GALA, 1928 QUOTES FROM SALVADOR DALI: IP: Logged
uhuru1701 Member	posted 03-25-2001 01:36 PM My Favorite (for sentimental reasons -- I once stared down an auctioneer for six hours, with tears rolling down my face, and gave up my rent money for the month to possess this lithograph): ALIYAH - THE PIONEERS OF ISRAEL And some more: Figure At A Window The Last Supper Hitler Masturbating The Infinite Enigma Apparition of the Vision of Aphrodite Christ of St. John of the Cross I reduced all image sizes to speed up download time. PEACE, uhuru1701 IP: Logged
uhuru1701 Member	posted 03-25-2001 01:42 PM Just a few more by Dali: Illumined Pleasures The Temptation of St. Anthony Venus (something-or-other, I forgot the whole name) That's all the Dali for now. I have other faves, too. PEACE, uhuru1701 IP: Logged
molly49 Member	posted 03-25-2001 01:45 PM i'm a dali fan too IP: Logged
uhuru1701 Member	posted 03-25-2001 01:55 PM I also like Maxfield Parrish (some of his stuff, anyway): DAYBREAK, 1922 IP: Logged
uhuru1701 Member	posted 03-25-2001 02:08 PM ...and I like a lot of Picasso's stuff. GUERNICA Painted in 1937 after the Nazis bombed the town of Guernica, Spain. This painting was in New York's Museum of Modern Art for many years before it was returned to Spain, where it now lives at the Prado. Picasso's will stipulated that the painting could not be returned to Spain until democracy was restored there. IP: Logged
queenie Member	posted 03-25-2001 03:18 PM Here's one from my alltime fave painter, Henri Matisse: I couldn't find my all time fave Matisse painting, The Dance. [This message has been edited by queenie (edited 03-25-2001).] [This message has been edited by queenie (edited 03-25-2001).] IP: Logged
queenie Member	posted 03-25-2001 03:23 PM I don't know why that's not working. So here's some Cezanne instead, the man that made me love green and orange together. IP: Logged
psichick Member	posted 03-25-2001 03:52 PM I also like Cezanne, Matisse, Miro, and some Picasso and Dali. I also like some Max Ernst, too. I won't post them, since they are not my favorites. [This message has been edited by psichick (edited 03-25-2001).] IP: Logged
TommyTerror Member	posted 03-25-2001 04:40 PM This has to be my favorite painting right now, altho I think it's only impressive in person at the Getty. Yum. The flowers look so realllll.... you can practically taste them. "Spring" "Spring" Detail - the painting is quite large. I also love the mind of Dali, the humor of Magritte, and the dreaminess of Chagall. My favorite LA artists right now are Mario Calvano, who I sucked up to until we became friends after falling in love with his paintings... "Epiphany At Low Tide" - also a HUGE painting... fills an entire wall at the gallery. and my close friend Stacy Lande who just put out a book of paintings last year. I wrote the forward thank you, along with Robert Williams and Frank Kozik who both are pretty great at the style of paintings they do. Outsider art. Low brow art. That kinda stuff. "Salome" "The Flute" IP: Logged
backgroundgrrl Member	posted 03-25-2001 06:24 PM I adore Remedios Varos. I was lucky enough to see an exhibit of her work at the Women's Art Museum in DC last summer, one of only three stops in this country, I believe. This is one of hers called Vegetarian Vampires. You can see more of her work at this link:http://www.honmex.com/eros/varo/remedios.html Sorry it's so small. [This message has been edited by backgroundgrrl (edited 03-25-2001).] IP: Logged

I'm particularly fond of these, which I've seen up close and personal: --Camille Corot, The Church of Marissel near Beauvais --Caspar David Friedrich, The Tree of Crows --Sir Joshua Reynolds, Master Hare IP: Logged

queenie Member	posted 05-11-2001 11:22 AM I read an interesting article in my Golden Acrylics Company newsletter about how their lab techs were hired to create all the paint for the movie "Pollack". For safety and clean-up reasons they chose to go with acrylics, and the lab techs had to create paints with the consistency of oils and the other weird industrials surface coatings that Pollack used, like house paint and so forth. And they had to cut it with mediums that would make it drizzle like oil paint. In addition to all that, they had to work very hard to duplicate pigments from his paintings that like don't even exist anymore. It was a very interesting article. You'd never guess the work that went on behind the scenes to make it look so authentic. Kudos to Ed Harris! IP: Logged
