Give Me Your Art! (and rambling)

Aug 29, 2007 15:11

First of all: suggest an artist or a particular work of art that you love. Please? It would make me happy.

Secondly: a post! In which I ramble on and on about art, what I need to do in the next week, clothing and music.

( Cut for your own sanity. )

music, art, clothes, random

Dude, Mucha.

Which is so funny, because I would never in a million years have pegged you for a fan of art nouveau. I always equate the flowing lines and organic quality of the art with a very feminine archetype for some reason and very...not you.

If that makes sense.

It makes sense. You just called me a girl. ;)

I got sucked into Art Nouveau vis a vis Joe Quesada. He did a little comic called Ninjak (I know, I know, cheesy) which was drawn very much in the A.N. style. Then that comic went under, and I eventually got away from them (mostly). But a little while ago, I got dragged back into comics, and started remembering my old glory years. And started looking up old artists. I ran into Mucha. And it's been sleepover parties, pillow fights, and talking about boys ever since. ;)

Carivaggio (sp?) dracschick August 30 2007, 00:01:14 UTC

He was an amazing painter or so I think IMO.

PS--good luck with the redecorating!

Re: Carivaggio (sp?) desertcreature August 30 2007, 00:32:58 UTC

I LOVE Caravaggio. His picture of Judith cutting off the head of Holofernes (sp?) is fantastic. One of my favorite painters of that time period.

For classical art I'm really fond of, I have always loved Vermeer's work. The quality of light and the way it plays across fabric just astounds me.

Yeah but........ dracschick August 30 2007, 01:25:27 UTC

he looks a little too traditional for me. I like C's work becuase the people look like vampires:)

Ooh, art! serpentknot August 30 2007, 04:15:04 UTC

Well, it just depends on what you're wanting. But just from that website, here are some links to a few I particularly like:

Marc Chagall

Since you liked Caravaggio's Judith, you might like Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the better known female Renaissance painters.

I like most anything by Mark Rothko, though it has a largely decorative feel.

This made me think of you.

I can do a lot more, I'm sure. But this kitty needs to go to bed.

Have you been up to the High Museum since they brought the Treasures of the Louvre exhibit to town? I desperately want to go. We should schedule a road trip sometime.

I love folk art from around the world, particularly art expressing superstitious and/or religious belief. I'm particularly fond of Day of the Dead items. There's a store I stumbled across in Austin TX that is full of awesome.

well you know i loooove nene thomas' work. a lot of her stuff is very monochromatic, here's a new one that is not: http://www.nenethomas.com/Innocence.shtml
