Philip Guston

>>3241209

wtf, just a filter?

One of my favourite painters from my own country, Zofia Stryjenska. I love her style so much, such beautiful, vibrant colors, bold geometrization and wholesome subject matter. It makes me think of early Disney films artstyle. If she lived in the states she'd fit right in in.

Is it too bad that I LOVE baroque paintings of little girls? I always feel ashamed, but I really like how they look, the flowers they usually paint with them, their dresses, wavy hair and dark backgrounds. am I secretly a VICTORIAN PEDOPHILE or some degenerate shit?

>>3245212
I don’t think any pedophiles ever think of themselves as pedophiles, so you’re probably safe. My wife is really into Nicoletta Ceccoli and she has some of the same dark contrasts and child-like qualities you’re talking about.

Takashi Murakami - The 500 Arhats
Sucks that I'll never have a wall big enough to fit the thing on, tho

>>3244634
Funny you should say bad. Guston's later work is often called "bad painting" because of his outright rejection all conventional standards of beauty. He went from being a Social Realist, painting and drawing things like this (pic related) to these crude wonky paintings and drawings that were inspired by Picasso, de Chirico, Rembrandt, Piero della Francesca, and the paintings at Altamira and Lascaux while taking the aesthetic and feel from Geo Herriman's Krazy Kat.

>>3245230
I bet his father painted that

>>3244984
Real paintings as in actually made with paint? Or are you using some other qualifier?

>>3245232
Funny story about that too. Guston's father hung himself in their shed when Guston was approximately 13 years old. Guston was also the one that found the body. In his most personal works the composition is crammed with a very personal iconography of legs, of ropes, of bottles, hooded figures, trash can lids, shoes, etc.

>Isn't familiar with 18013385_311821619237023's works.
Lmao.
The absolute state of /ic/.

i really like the mood in his stuff.

>>3245363
He's quite a young artist. I've seen his work in Venice (IT) and it's quite spectacular and dark. I'm not too fond of his themes, because he likes to play with big topics (painted his Freud and Marx) a bit "in your face", he's still pretty cool. Notice how the floor is all fucked up, but we still register it as a room with a strange kind of uneasy vibration? That's what painting can do. You are kept on the edge with your perception and things don't have to be perfectly detailed, laid out clearly in front of you. That is painterly skill at its best and it can do things that high detailed realism can't do.

>>3245230

thanks for these. little notes like these really change how i look at paintings. i feel like im fumbling ever so slightly less trying to understand art.

OP here. That painting is by nick alm

>>3245500
I'm genuinely glad that some thoughts have caught on to you. There can be so many interesting implications in painting alone, it's really worth giving it some thought.

Poppies are interesting, especially since I live in the heroin capital of the US.

>>3245402
>>3245363

What would you call this and his other paintings style? How can I learn more about this technique?

>>3245544
It's not really easy to put into a definitive category. His works take a lot of influence from Francis Bacon, at least in the faces he paints, where you can clearly see where he's coming from. To be honest, I've never really gotten into the idea of putting painting into categories nowadays. A professor of hours said that some of us are post-expressionist painters.
In a very general sense, it's called figurative painting. This painting in particular is very dependent on it's photographic reference. You can feel that the people are coming from a photograph and he has modified the background and surroundings and maybe rearranged some figures to arrive at that painting.

I'm not going to whitewash anything here. This is a painting style that a lot of young artists seem to go for at the moment. It's very "hip and trendy", if you want to be mean and put it this way.
>pic related
is by the artist Z s o l t - B o d o n i and was exhibited in Budapest recently. B. also likes to arrange photographic references - a landscape section, a photograph of people in a pool - to merge and blend it all together in a huge painting. The distinct use of painting knives and spatulas for generelazied, bit gestures is something you will often find in young painting today. Same with W i n s t o n - C h m i e l i n k s k i , also a very young artist. (Sorry for writing their names like this. I don't want them to find themselves in /ic/, lol)

>>3245580
sorry, here's
>pic related

>>3245582
Thanks for all the input. I'm just getting into painting and loathe the fact that I find this so intriguing only to learn it's "hip and trendy". Not that I'm contrarian, I just had never seen it before and would like to try. But hearing it's trending makes me want to try something of my own, I suppose.

It does look amazing, though.

>>3245582
>But hearing it's trending makes me want to try something of my own, I suppose.
You couldn't make any better choice than that. Do what feels right to you, even if it's close to something trending or if it's sort evoking a past era in painting …. the most important thing must be that you are serious about it and you are trying your best to produce something that is genuinely "you". Keeping in mind "oh, but this particular art style is going well these days" isn't the best starting point. But if you like that certain approach, by all means have a go at it and try to find what you can bring to it / achieve in it. I don't want to discourage you that way. For all it's worth, this kind of painting style might be a very fitting way to portrait our time.

That's a very good point. Probably why it is so appealing to many in the scene right now. I know it rings a bell with me, for sure.

>>3245620
It's the plasticity, the collage-like approach and the strong colors that remind you of our digital media-driven age. It shows a very distinct play of back-and-forth between flatness and body in the figuration.

>>3245402
>>3245363

That's funny i found him here, considering the first time I heard of him was in italy where my teacher said one of my paintings reminded her of him. I didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or not but I did since I'm a beginner. I didn't like the van gogh flower he did recently, Artists pay homage to other artists all the time but usually in subtler ways. Van gogh did about 20 paintings in the hospital of artists he admired though like millet or honore daumier but they didn't go on auction at christies the next week for a few million $

>>3245629
There's a very good interview with
>W i n s t o n - C h m i e l i n k s k i
talking about his working process on youtube. I'm not a 100% fond of his painting, but I really appreciate his devotion and the way he talks about painting, it's very energizing. I see myself in his love for painting and it gives me hope that painting isn't just dead yet, despite our times.

>>3245632
lol, one of my professor accused me of being heavily influenced by Nicole Eisenman and I didn't even know her or her work until she mentioned her. (I also found that I don't love her works really, but I see what she meant)

>>3245633
Link plz?

>>3245649
goddamnit, can't you do it yourself?
he looks like a complete dork, but I like what he says about painting.

I love Frankenthaler's work, however this painting recalls to mind the description that Joan Mitchell used when talking about her. Mitchell called her, "That tampon painter."

The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, I really like paintings from the rococo period

>>3245521
First time ever posting on /ic/
What's this style called? Is this impressionism?

>>3248465
got any other faves from the period you want to highlight?

>>3248478
sure, but I’ll probably piss some people off with whether a piece is rococo or baroque.
Madame de Pompadour by Boucher is another one I like. I really the insane attention to detail in the dress, similar to the intense detail in the trees in The Swing

The horrific pain of existence

>>3248487
do you like abstract art?

>>3248487
Another by Fragonard, ‘Love Letters’.
Thanks OP for making this thread, I haven’t thought about these artists in so long.
I really love these light hearted paintings of people just being people.

>>3248487
that really is insane :o love how the colors are in contrast with all the flourished detailing.

>>3248487
literally how

>>3248493
I do! I’m a big fan of surrealism and art that has a dreamy or nightmarish feel to it.

Not with the rococo/baroque theme but I like Truth Coming Out of Her Well - Jean-Léon Gérôme, it’s a meme now but her stark, smooth contest to the rest of painting is beautifully done.

Echo and Narcissus by John Waterhouse
Shit quality pic, the original one I wanted to upload is too big. This is a lot more ‘flat’ looking than a lot of other paintings, but it’s kind of nice to see that you can still have a gorgeous, colorful painting without torturing yourself to create depth.

Girl With Black Eye by Norman Rockwell
>insert every other Rockwell painting

Zack Dunn is a fantastic horror artist, I love his mirror paintings.

Bumping with some Craola Simkins

>>3248487

I saw this in person, it's gorgeous and huge, the size would take up half of your wall at home.

Roccoco is one of the most gorgeous painting periods ever, i doubt we'll ever go back to something like it.

>>3248471
yes

Alex Pardee; some of his stuff can be very hit or miss. I much prefer his traditional over his newer digital works, personally. He did some designs for Sucker Punch and did the cover art for The End is Nigh. Met him in person and he’s a super cool guy.

>>3249122
Rococo is soulless garbage, you should feel terrible for liking it. Anything that was done well in rococo was done better in the styles preceding and following it

>>3249889

>>3241171
Frank Craig

>>3245500
While these facts are certainly good to know about the artist I don't think it is necessary at all to know these things to understand the weight and depth of the work.

For example you wouldn't need to know that Guston was guilt ridden because of the Holocaust since he himself was the son of a Jewish couple who managed to escape the pogroms of Czarist Russia. Or that he was haunted by the photographs of the mass graves and piles of shoes (which also connects to his father, who was a junk man), or that he felt horrendous due to his belief that he had erroneously escaped the fate of the death machine that was the Nazi's Final Solution to understand that the very deeply felt emotions of The Pit, which I posted here: >>3241989

>>3248366
Solomon Joseph Solomon iirc

>>3249911

The style actually was full of soul you're the only one who's garbage for probably thinking it's too bourgeoisie or some pompous trash.

Fragonard, boucher, Watteau, and Gainsbourough painted some of the most gorgeous paintings of any generation. You take that back. They were all masters to boot.

>>3251155
we should have art appreciation threads about specific eras -- might help open some minds

>>3251155
They are in part satirical right?

>>3251155
I happen to agree with that anon. I can't stand Rococo work. It's entirely decorative. Though I wouldn't disparage someone else for liking it.

>>3251275
It's mostly the point.

I like old bird art that's actually good.

"A Pelican and Other Birds Near a Pool"(unofficially titled The Floating Feather) by Melchior d'Hondecoeter, painted around 1680.

Jean-Leon Gerome, The Bath. If you're in SF any time, go to the Legion of Honor and see it in person, photos don't do it justice.

Yep.

Circe Invidiosa, Waterhouse

Spring, Sir Lawrence Alma Tedema

This one is at the Getty, in Malibu, CA. Stunning painting in person, it's smaller than you'd think, and the detail is astonishing. Each person is fully rendered. This is oil painting at it's peak.

>>3251521
what do you like about the painting?

Wow. Can I get some info on this painting? There's just something about it that's really drawing me in.

>>3252256
Yeah, if you press the triangle next to the post number it should bring up a box with 'Google search' so then you can find out about the image and look up information on it.

>>3251947
Not a great deal. He's a very boring painter and pale imitator of gherhard richter.

"I've painted a photo and it's a bit washed out but a painting of someone a bit controversial oooOooooIiiiOooooaaaaoooooooOOO..........spooky"

Sigh, just get on with it and paint. Oh it's too late you're tethered to your irony.

adolf hirémy-hirschl.

It's one of his greater works.

>>3252271
>pale imitator of Gerhard Richter.
not in the least. Richter focus(ed) on realism in his early days and has shifted to abstract painting. Luc Tuymans is mostly concentrating on the frail, diminishing nature of photographs and the stories behind them. His painting style - faint, flat, reduced - reflects that idea.

>>3252271

anymore works from him?

is one side embracing the afterlife while the other side pleads for hermes to take them back ? or something?

>>3251341
Do you have any more?

>>3252471
yes, those are the souls of the recently dead. hermes was the messenger who told them they were dead, he's seeing them off

knew i recognized it from somewhere.

Is it strange that I only tend to like one or a few paintings by an artist and don't really have a favorite? Often for me the appeal of the painting is the unique style so when I look at all the work from the artist done in the same style it gets repetetive. Especially if the artist paints abstractly.

But I think Hopper is overall my favorite painter. I like the mood in this paintings.

>>3252684
i used to think the mood of that picture was comfy. now it strikes me as sad, distant, and lonely.

>>3252684
You're allowed to like more than one painting in the museum - much like everyone else here, you're overthinking it.

Stop worrying about what other people think. Like what you like.

>>3249911
Dude, take this snobby neckbeard shit and shove it up your ass, and when you're done with that, fuck off.

Who the fuck do you think you are, telling anyone what they like and don't? Get the fuck out of art, you cunt, stop stinking up the joint.

>>3252684
“Nighthawks” led me to “11AM”
>>3252802
...which is exactly why I like Hopper. I love to roll in the melancholy. Don’t forget his “voyeuristic” overtones.

Defeat of the Spanish Armada

Sadko by Ilyas Repin
His paintings especially his portraits are really fuckin good

another painting by Ilyas Repin
of a writer named Vsevolod Mikhailovich Garshin

Maybe it's just me but he does a really good job of portraying people especially in the eyes. No fucking clue what it is

Day of Anger by Frank McCarthy.

He was a film poster artist during the 1960's, his pieces always had so much energy and action in them, and his art felt like he ripped the pure energy from the film and painted it onto his canvas. Probably the best thing about McCarthy is he never limited his poster art to just floating heads, which to me is why I look up to him so much.

>>3257669

Ilyas Repin is an exceptional artist. His paintings are always so full of color and life. You've got some guud taste man.
