< this part confused me

>>1603376
Does this >>1603375 not inspire you? At the very least look at the amazing detail and sense of perspective, does it not make you want to walk in there and gaze upon the statues and out onto the horizon?

I would love to live there.

inb4 Beksinski

This guy right here is my favorite artist.

Naw, it was suitable.

Didn't say they had to be drawn.

>>1603443
I love this one, partially because it was on the cover of a game I played as a kid

>>1603624
>villa-di-marlia-lucca
Gorgeous, makes we want to throw out my watercolours in despair though..

>>1603624
Was this made by Sargent?

Let's get a little variety in here.

>>1603629
Not him, but here's another great one by Repin

>>1603678
yes, this one is great too.
>>1603685
Thanks, I haven't seen that before

Kramskoi

These threads always inspire the fuck out of me.

I'm awful with remembering names and everything, but would anyone mind posting that one painting of the man clutching the dead body of a man with a head wound, with the most chilling pained look in his eyes? One of my favorites.

What you know about The Golden age niggas.

>>1603754
This one?

>>1603762
Yes sir, thank you very much.

I have a higher res but it's fuckhuge. Edward Burne Jones

>>1603755

>>1603768

amirite ?

>>1603366
I've grown to like 19th century art.

Modernism master race reporting for duty

>>1603918
How do I get this good? I have all Loomis' books, I've seen hundreds of construction, perspective and anatomy tutorials, and I have a brand new Cintiq I bought a week ago.

>>1603945
you are not thinking yet that's the problem/

I take it you are being sarcastic anyways, which tells me you have a shit taste for design.

i myself had never seen his work before. a few years after taking some design classes i went to a museum and seen it for the first time.

it is trully beautiful and the way the colors are balanced in perfect harmony is inspiring.

you can see these patterns going on in anything wheter it's a space ships colors/ motorcycle, character design website design anything.

which my opinon is why these works are so great.

Gets me everytime. That control.

While I love some painted stuff (especially Rembrandt), I usually prefer sketches...they seem to have so much more life. Here's one of Lawrence of Arabia.

>>1603951

get the fuck out of here you fucking clown

Another one of John Maynard Keynes

>>1603951
Yea, that seems to be the official story for Rothko lovers. It's funny how modernists bitch about classical art being boring and too technical, yet the only defense I've seen given for abstract experssionism is that there's this super secret technical genuis. I'd rather beautifully controlled brush strokes to represent an actual (and interesting) subject

>>1603918
>>1603951
yeah the emperor's new clothes are pretty rad amirite?

>>1603996

I don't think most fans of abstract expressionism claim that artists like rothko are more technically skilled than classical artists. Even though fans boast of the subtle technical aspects, I don't think any in their right mind would seriously claim that it was more technical masterful than classical art. that's not the point.

These arguments get so fucking old.

>>1604005
>emperor's new clothes

If you feel it, you feel it. So what?

>>1604028
You don't feel it

You think you feel it because somebody told you you should feel it

>>1604056
You don't not feel it.
You think you don't feel it because you have a narrow view of art.

Really though, try to be less of a prick. Disagreeing with someone's opinion is one thing, telling them that it's literally impossible to like art that you don't like is straight-up retarded.

>>1604056
>Reply

Thinking you feel it is different from actually feeling it how?

Sensation is sensation, isn't it?

For some reason I think Beksinski I kind of contrived. I guess I'm not much of a fan of the scifieyness of work

>>1604063

When did I say it was literally impossible to like a type of art?

That was the someone else

>>1604024
>>1604028
>>1604063
>>1604065
This is hilarious. This happened at the same time I was listening to "Art School Confidential" in the background.

>>1604074
You told someone that they didn't actually hold an opinion that they just told you they held, implying that it would be impossible to truthfully hold said opinion. Following?

>>1603629
I saw this in person the other day, the colors are way better, reds are more intense. It's still amazing here too.

>>1604108
Every painting suffers in reproduction. Also you lucky fuck.

>>1604005

>>1603366
that rapper demon almost ruins that one for me


i can't really pick a favourite so i'll just post this, an artist i don't think /ic/ knows much about called praxiteles from greece, 400th century BC


Apollo Sauroktonos
(this is allegedly an original...says the guy who bought it)

i love the colour and ancientlookingness.

>>1604283

>>1604285

>>1604283
4th century lol, he wasn't from 200,000 years before modern humanity :p

>>1604283
Uhh who doesn't know about him? Pretty big name

>>1604294
/ic/ generally doesn't have any actual education so they only know a few painters here and there and for some reason have encyclopaedic knowledge of all the hacky digital artists.

>>1604302
>painters are the only artists

true though, however not everyone can be bothered to go through their local museum for some reason.

>>1604305
thus i served up a juicy slice of praxiteles

Fruit Piece by Jan van Huysum I got to see it at the Getty

had to use a shitty low res image so you can't see the details that I love

>>1603915
>>1604297
if you don't like beksinski you can go moonwalk into traffic

>>1604716
i honestly don't see the appeal, it looks like album cover art for some band with 'deth' in the the name.

um and for contribute..this picture of a girl, i like how photoy it is from a distance and how painty it is up close.

elle..or ella? by joshua mcpherson

>>1603747
damn, that looks real

>>1603629
>>1604108
>>1604111
that is quite beautiful and I'd love to see it in person.

I'm more fascinated by the fact that up until I'd just seen this painting, I never knew Santa was Asian.

>>1604716
edgy

>>1605433

are you a hosomex?

>>1605433
Nice photo you got there.

>>1605433
I recently read the metamorphosis of ovid and I stumbled on how the word hermaphrodite came into being.

Mercury (hermes) and Venus (Aphrodite) had a child. The child was kind of a dandy with beautiful fare skin. He was bathing in a sping and the nymph salmakis spied him and tried to seduce him. He rebuffed her advances and enraged she stormed off. When he thought she was gone he returned to his bath. She sneaked up behind him and twisted her body around his and prayed to the gods that they would never be apart. The gods answered her prayer and their bodies were fused into one with both sets of genitals. His name was a combination of his parent's, Hermaphroditus.

I'm a big fan of the artists at Valve.

>>1605455
You wouldn't be asking this if you saw the exhibit.

>>1605466
Saved

>>1603754
Artist's name is Ilya Repin, by the way.

>>1605490
Jesus Christ, I choked up at that painting.
Grief.

>>1605466
pleb.

>>1605490
Yeah, figured that out with Google. Thanks.
>>1605498
I've heard that seeing it in person is an overwhelmingly powerful experience.

MC Escher you plebs!
Artwork is not only incredibly beautiful but also carries paradoxes that tie in with Godel's theorems of incompleteness and Bach's fugues. Consult ye Hofstadter.

>>1603754
This the one?

>>1605464
who is this? I love it.

>>1605582

Gerome probably

>>1605585
>Gerome
Thanks, I think your right. I just looked it up.

>>1605466
Anything Adrian Smith, yes

>>1606015
eck i hate it when people rely on giant canvases

I like that guy.

>>1604302
I sculpt. Praxiteles and his S are impossible to ignore.

>>1604108
Where did you see it? I would really love to see this in person.

>>1606154
yes!!

>>1606175
Is that Bernini or Canova or something like that? I swear I know what that cropped pic is from, I can't remember though

>>1606154
>>1606175
These two works are related but you'll have to figure out why yourselves.

>>1606211
It's the rape of proserpina by bernini.

>>1606219
Thanks

>>1606015
Hey, that's quite great. I've never heard of him before, thanks.

>>1606215
I believe Hirst did a butterfly painting titled The Rape of Proserpina, is that it?

lhermitte. I really love this piece.

>>1603762
I love the history behind that painting.

this is fucking rad man, thanks for this

I remember seeing a large wide painting in a museum that impressed me as a teenager. All I remember that there were horsemen or horse carts and that the horses were black i think and on fire or something like that. Very vague I know but it was a long time ago and I couldnt find it with google.

Jesus Christ, same shit every time someone posts Modernist art. When are you guys going to realise that ridiculing someone's artistic tastes is making you look like an idiot? People are allowed to like whatever they want, and everyone knows this. So why make yourselves look like fools?

>>1605686
