Twilight by ernst fuchs

Not my favorite artist

Nox is my favourite artist and I guess this is my favourite painting of his.

Cy Twombly Roses

I like karl kopinksi a lot but I dont know hes my absolute favorite

Gassed by John singer Sargent

>>1746959
i dont like it when good artists draw neckbeard shit.
nothing against nakedness but this shit just isnt aesthetically pleasing.
this isnt even the worst example

>>1746959

Fuckin Nox man, what a beast. I wish he posted more work online; he's so cool.

>>1747107
>i dont like it when good artists draw neckbeard shit.

You mean you don't like when artists draw things you don't like? Wow, that's deep.

>>1747111
>You mean you don't like when artists draw things you don't like?

No. You completely missed the point.

>>1747113
>No. You completely missed the point.

No, I believe you did. Unless I was asleep the day scientists discovered that "neckbeard shit" was an objective phenomenon and not just some random guy's personal opinion.

Art is plagued by nothing so much as jackasses who mistake their opinions for facts.

>>1747118
you sound like a butthurt whiney bitch

Old school Jim Burns

I just really like the way the head is in this one.

>>1746962
>>1746959
>these two in the same thread
This is why I find it hard to get into this board.

>>1746947
Your favorite artworks is a Salvador Dali ripoff? Actually had a print of the original on my wall in my old bachelor pad.

>>1747107
It is aesthetically pleasing. The gear design is great, the shapes even better, the composition is rock solid, the skin wonderfully painted, the vibrant colors and the body in itself are aesthetically pleasing. It's eyecandy

You're just trying to hard to be edgy, honestly

>>1747156
You just solidified your status as a pleb.

>>1747159
You're still trying too hard

>>1747162
And your favorite artist is concept art's equivalent of Michael Bay.

Every time I imagine one of the vocal high brow "patrician" dudes on /ic/ I like to think about this guy or the artisan pencil sharpener guy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLzgFkouSmc

And then I feel just a little bit better

>>1747171
It's astonishing that you think not being a pathetic loser is the same as being an aristocrat. There is no middle ground in your world, I take it. You either like generic shit, or you're a "high brow patrician".

>>1747129
Because that's the only thing he was able to reference heavily. It's clear from his paintings that he's very dependent on references

>>1747168
10/10

>>1747177

I don't, I'll be the first to admit that I think a lot of stuff is plebby, but at the same time I'm into some pretty dubious shit myself.

I just find the ultra-serious dismissive attitude of some of the people here hilarious

>>1747147
I think it's just a homage, dude.

>>1746959

speaking od Dali I love Hallucinogenic Bullfighter
It's a culmination in his career in Surrealism, Pop art, Op art, Cubism, and experimentation. Another great one is Tuna Fishing but I like bullfighter more.

>no favorite artist
wat do

>>1746959
This is a very well executed and presented 14 year old's fantasy.

>>1747458
This. But I don't get the sloppy buildings at the background... So messy and smudged. Well, actually everything in that pic sux, besides the technique, and even that is sloppy.

Kekai-K is so good.

>>1747168

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA... 10/10

I cant believe someone can actually put Nox as a favorite artist. Just knowing that is enough for us to know that these people will never make art for a living.

>>1747220
>and now you're furiously responding to every single person who calls you on it

why are you seeing things that arent there?

probably because buttfrustration levels are off the charts.

Not my favorite artist, but definitely my favorite painting. It's called "The Frenzy of Exultations."

>>1747438
The hallucinogenic torreador is incredible. I saw it in person at the St. Petersburg museum in Florida, it is gigantic. Overwhelmingly fantastic. My love for art history began with Dali.

>>1747062
Nice choice. I love the men in the background playing soccer.

I've lost all hope for this board.
It's all shitty concept art.

Fucking neckbeards, you killed this website.

One of my favourites by Barlowe.

tfw I have a painting in mind but don't know what it is called therefore can't google it

>>1747513

It makes me sad, too. Kekai is a good example of a fine concept artist AND illustrator, but is faaaaar from the best and didn't do any relevant illustration that pops on my mind. Nox is not even worth mentioning.

>>1747513
Hi, I'm anon and I am the pinnacle of opinion. Watch as I add nothing beneficial to this thread and board.

Incidentally I absolutely fell in love with this painting, which has to be my favorite painting that I have ever personally seen with my own eyes. It really doesn't translate well photo wise though especially considering its thick textures.
William Ritschel's Monterey Coast

My favourite artist is Zdzislaw Beksinski... I am extremely jealous of his attention to detail, talent and mastery. I think his artwork also genuinely makes me feel creeped out which is an accomplishment in my mind. I can't really decide which artwork to choose!

>>1747577

>>1747579

>>1747488
Nox is up there when it comes to my favourite artists and I make a living with my art. Deal with it

>>1746959
good choice. One of the best in the industry at the moment

Stop it. What are you doing? How can anyone be this ignorant, close-minded, stubborn and mad? Do you even paint or do you just spout shit all day and masturbate to your warped sense of what is art? You seem mentally sick, honestly

>>1747587
I suppose drawing furry porn can technically be considered making a living. Doesn't make your point valid, though.

I love how he does expressions. They just feel right.

>>1747599
yeah this painting is sick.

>>1747599
Most expensive sold painting in russia at the time.

>>1747513
>implying 4chan wasn't filled with neckbeards since the begininng

I don't know many artists but this my favorite piece so far.

http://youtu.be/vP5uUqz4SHk

>>1747590

Get over yourself. People don't like that artist and that piece of artwork is immature. This is an artwork and critique board, if you can't handle getting critiqued on your own artwork and taste then you're really gonna have a bad time not only in this board but in real life as well.

>>1747659
Is this guy trolling or just that stupid? I can't tell anymore

Who is protecting Nox shit artwork must be stupid, I mean, seriously. WHY would he been called in a thread like that? God..

>>1747692
Please continue making an ass out of yourself. It's amusing to me

>>1747695
yes just keep implying everyone that disagrees with you is a single person.

seriously, if you dont agree with someone else's opinion just shut the fuck up and move on. you sound like a butthurt neckbeard and really there is no one gives a shit as much as i dont give a shit that you like nox. it doesnt make a fucking difference to the world wether you defend him or not.

tl;dr stop being a faggot and get back to drawing, noob

>>1747559
Yes, because fake art is really beneficial to an art board.

Now I ask you, anon, why are you replying to such a obvious troll?

You don't understand. My work can't be photographed without a pricey camera and perfect lighting.
It looks dark and brooding if I try to photograph it.

plz stop misusing "aesthetic" just say "looks good" if you can't be bothered learning about what it means

>>1748360

Most people who browse 4chan are teens. I used to be on my HR Giger phase when I was that age.

What is with these threads bringing out the most pretentious, pompous retards?

It's ironic: people who actually know what they're talking about don't shit on other peoples' preferences, because they've learned enough to develop a sense of humility, and to realize that preferences are subjective. It's only the losers who suck at art who ham up the elitism, saying people who like art they don't like are 'neckbeards' or 'adults with the sensibilities of teenagers'.

Prove me wrong if you can, but we both know you can't.

>>1748541
You don't seem to understand the concept of elitism. It's not elitist to criticize people who are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

>>1748547
>people who are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

This is my fav by Francis Bacon, "Study for Three Figures at the Basse of a Crucifixtion"

>>1748561
I for one think concept art is shallow and immature but it isn't really made for the purpose of deep expression. Whether that betrays the definition of art is up to you but~
Art is subjective you nerd

>>1748561
everything about your post is wrong and you're a faggot

>>1748567
Concept art is objectively bad. It is shill art made for mass production and sale.
>>1748569
Said every man-child ever.

>>1748567
maybe I need to rephrase that, the word "definition" implies a sort of objectivity, so maybe I should say whether that betrays *YOUR* definition of art is up to you. Its completely subjective, just like literally every facet of human experience, get over yourself

>>1748571
get on your knees and smile like a donut I have a present for you

>>1748572
ugh I forgot this board doesn't have ID's, it looks like I'm berating myself now??? Idek this is a mess now.
>>1748571
You're objectively bad
no but like, it is NOT objectively bad. There is clearly a huge amount of skill that goes into it and the people who create it are extremely technically skilled, furthermore who are you to say whether or not they are using it as a modus of expression? Have you personally interviewed hundreds of concept artists and asked them? I haven't, and I'm not going to make an objective claim on it, but neither should you.
It has merit in several areas and is lacking in others, and which areas carry that merit is really dependent on the point of reception/their relation to the point of emission; that is the fucking nature of subjectivity x~x

>>1748575
Technical skill is what cameras are for.
Reality is boring, an artist who creates something real or realistic is an artist who is too lazy to make something interesting.
The entire genre should not be considered an art form, it is a form of advertising.

>>1748580
Out of curiosity, who are your favorite artists?
IMO putting such oppressive restrictions on what can be considered art goes against the meaning of art and the freedom of expression it carries...Usually people who are into the avant-garde and abstract art are pretty big on that, but you seem to have ironically enough, utilized that as a tool to restrict the boundaries of the definition... weird...

But tell me who your favorite artists are, I'll continue when you do

Caravaggio is my favorite painter and it's hard to pick one, but this will always be one of my favs

>>1748971
>not preferring the Gentileschi version
What kind of pleb are you

>>1748973
I presume that was a jab at contemporary art. You should probably look up the difference between modern and contemporary art before you go on not having any idea what the fuck you're talking about.

>>1748968
keep samefagging, neckbeard

>>1748989
I like that one, the realism is heightened but for me Judith's expression in Caravaggio's version is unmatched

>>1748989
Caravaggio has better composition composed in a phi rectangle, with both the focal figure heads aligned in baroque diagonal. you need to stop being a pleb.

>>1746959
Anyone notice the sign *nox iz mad* ?

Are you trolling or something? You call others intellectual yet you have done nothing but throw tantrums and use insults.
Tell us wise anon. What is art then? What makes a piece of artwork great and so on? If art is objective then which of the following have created the best art to worst Leonardo, Michelangelo, Bougueraeu, Ingres, David, Warhol, Rothko?

>>1748571
> Concept art is objectively bad.
> It is shill art made for mass production and sale.

So it boils down to high culture versus popular culture?
(concept art belonging to the latter)

>>1748973
You do realize that romanticism is modern art, right?
You're talking about contemporary art, you illiterate fuck.
PROTIP: don't go on a fucking art board if you don't know basic art history that is taught to anybody who isn't an amateur who doesn't ever want to evolve.
>>1749084
Yes, it is also the difference between working for Shekels and working for the pleasure of it.

>>1749371
That's your hot big opinion. Making money off your art does not make it less art. Less pretentious? possibly.

>>1749396
Yes it does, it removes all value from it and makes it as shallow and meaningless.

>>1746959

You think that is a good design? Are you 14?

>>1747107
I agree with you buddy, too many beardnecks from /v/ hang out around here. If you dare insinuate that something is over-designed and over-sexualized, then you are feminist scum and need to be purged. That painting is executed well, but the idea behind it is neckbristly as hell.

Goddamn there is a lot of shit-talking on this board. Especially about successful artists. It's funny how you never see this on boards where everyone can see your art.

>>1748993
I'm a really big fan of Caravaggio but Gentileschi's version has a more dynamic composition. the big difference is the way she captures the action of the decapitation, it's more engaged.

>>1749831
pretty much. even worse is how they cant let go and just accept that there are people who have different opinions than them.

also while that pic of the naked armor chick is good, it's just so horribly cheesy in its content.
at least ghost in the shell more or less justified the character's nakedness.also they didn't portray the body in an overly sexualized way and instead went for a more "human" look. "human" isn't the right word. what i mean is that the major's body is much more aesthetic while the chick in the robot suit looks like a cheap slut, a fat man's fantasy whose nakedness serves absolutely no purpose than to satisfy the fat guy's mind in a very blunt and childish way. i guess the audience is different. GitS obviously targets a more serious audience, in story as well as in design. thus we may say the chick in the robot suit is the art equivalent of a micheal bay movie

>>1746947
I like it but I don't understand it.

>>1750745
i am obviously talking about the movie

>>1750747
also: nothing wrong with sex in mangas.
sex isn't a bad thing and still more aesthetic than that exoskeleton chick

I don't have a favourite artist, but there are few that can top Niheis designs

>>1750747
A movie about a Bisexual cyborg that wears therm optic camouflage that requires her to be naked, Motokos body definitely has sexuality in mind, theres no other reason for cyborgs that cannot reproduce to have lactating organs on their chests, and there is no reason other than sex appeal to make them round and bouncy, I mean this from the context of ghost in the shell's world as well

>>1748360
Such "imagination" provoking, open space paintings are plentiful, but to me they are all boring. I would be more interested not looking to things as a whole, not doing work more with my imagination around that open space, but to the closer textures and more detailed objects. Such openness just dulls the details, and it might involve a plethora of irrelevant appendix to the painting.

>>1750754
yeah but the keyword is "oversexualized" which i used to describe that exo-chick.
obviously a naked human body is always going to be something sexual. however, the way the body is portrayed in GitS has an aesthetic to it that the other pictures doesn't even come close to. the body itself represents one of the major themes in the movie; the cyberisation of humans. the way she looks naked and fleshy with all her skin and bones is a contrast to what lies beneath that: technology. it's not just nakedness for the sake off jerking off.
the nakedness of the exo-chick doesn't add anything to the picture. the nakedness in GitS does.

>and there is no reason other than sex appeal to make them round and bouncy

and it's motoko's choice to use that body. it's the future, there are beauty standards and there is the technology to make you look the way you want. by the end of the movie, she has the body of a child, which then again represents one of the major ideas of the movie.

also i dont think they ever tell you how much of a machine she actually is. chances are that the way she looks is based on her actual body or it may be a modificated version of her actual body.


>theres no other reason for cyborgs that cannot reproduce to have lactating organs on their chest

That's a claim. Prove it. Dont think they ever say that Cyborgs can't reproduce.
Motoko is still a human, you know. And as one she can have sex. And even if she was a robot, she might still be able to have sex and reproduce because technology.
But then again, we are talking about Cyborgs. They are humans. Only parts of their bodies are robotic.

Now please try to justify why a police officer would look like that exo-chick. This design doesnt fulfill any other purpose than gathering to neckbeards

Not a favorite artists, I don't have one, there are too many of them.

Rather I like - sometimes remember - the ones that struck me, and if I still comprehend similarly as I did back then, get emotions in similitude to my memory, I continue to like them.

Here is one I newly discovered. There is something dark and enigmatic about his paintings, all grotesque and expressive. He caches that fear of the strange and unknown, .

Check his works through google search

>>1747647
I laughed for a good 5 minutes at this. God I love art

>>1748967
My art isn't monotonous garbage.
Some colors combinations can't be photographed well.

>>1746959
I don't feel like that's an appropriate uniform or attitude for a policewoman. I mean, her power armor doesn't cover any vitals save her brain,and the exposed vagina would be extremely unprofessional. I mean, what if she had to deal with children as officers do, or how could she speak to a citizen who is against thoughtless nudity like a Catholic or a Muslim?

I love the picture, but it's just too silly. Also, she wouldn't have a bikini tan if she walk around like that all the time.

Bill Mauldin

>He was a comic strip artist for the Army newspaper during WWII. His comic, "Willy & Joe," were usually based on experiences he had on the front lines of the Italian Campaign.
>This comic here was drawn on by him on the Anzio beachhead with stamp pad ink, not pen ink. This was a comment on how, at the time, the Germans were pushing so hard to throw the Allies into the sea, that the only thing that was stopping them was fucking uninterrupted, point-blank artillery.
>Bill hadn't slept in days, hadn't showered in weeks, and was getting probably one cold meal a day. On top of that, he finished it during a fucking mortar bombardment that the Germans zeroed onto his beach.

People were fucking dying around him and all he could think of was his deadline.

What a fucking dedicated artist.

>>1750726
The word you are looking for is "banal"; "banalic" isn't a word.
I find that while there are many conceptual artists out there, I Kuczynski's grainy style and I find that his pieces generally cover topics that I care most about.
