There's nothing wrong with liking Klimt's works. His compositions were very good. The juxtapositions of textures and themes of the earthly/erotic with the transcendent were sublime.

>>3327887
morandi is my favorite, i'm not even sure why, i'm scared to read any critical response to him in case you're supposed to like him for completely different reasons than i do.

i used to quite like balthus, but when i saw one irl i was like actually disgusted. on the other hand morandi was perfect irl.

this is the balthus i saw, as you can see on the internet it's like fine.

Joseph Sheppard
Local artist who actually made it in the industry (but not big enough that you can find high quality pictures of his work), obsessed with the male figure, now lives in Italy.

Got to meet him irl.

>>3330852
Anon are you ok?

>>3327814
>>3327834
>all these post and no one corrected OP
Some dumbfuck on Tumblr misattributed the painting to Klimt, when it's by Anne Marie Zilberman. That post is big enough to the point her painting shows up in Google searches for Klimt and even on biographical sites.

I don't know about favourites, but damn.

Good lord this colour and lighting.

>>3327888
damn all those long ass features

>>3331264
How do I achieve color this vibrant? Going from dark to light and glazing layers?

>>3331264
H-how big is this? There's some insane details besides the great colors, dem fucking ants eating the rotting... whatever that is, blueberry? Grape?.

>>3333281
Good guess. That's a plum.

>>3327814
While this isn't the only work that's really inspiring to me, a lot of them are sorta like this. Huge pieces that portray a sort of "larger than life" reality where none of the individuals portrayed can be said to have heroic proportions, thus implying there are no true heroes. I even kinda like where there's a sense that the piece could have been done better, that the artist, despite being very skillful and no doubt a master of the craft, wasn't quite up to the task of fully capturing the idea, not because of their ineptitude but because of just how grand what they were attempting was. I guess as I see it, the Idea of the art is what's really important, but that's no excuse to be lazy on craftsmanship.

>>3333665

Oh, now I know where Denis Sarazhin got his inspo from. See pic.
Also, gay AF.

LOL you fucking trad fucks, cant wait for you faggots to die off

>>3327814

>>3334841
so you can become one of the rare artists that still work in trad? yeah me too.

>>3331329
Check out mannerism, they were all about distorted features for the sake of beauty and harmony (Parmagianino was one of them). Came after the High Renaissance. It's fun to look at! Pic related

>>3334870
Also, death and the maiden by Egon Schiele is one of my favorites

>>3334905
And Prometheus Bound by Rubens and Snyders, love the story behind it (Prometheus stuck in eternal suffering, goodbye liver)

Michelangelo's Sistine ceiling.

I have a book about it which shows better quality and everytime I look at his works I can't help but think of a man pursuing his destiny at the utmost rigor.

He was so good that people called him 'il divino', the divine.

>>3327900

Thanks anon :) I'll post some of mine as well as thanks.

I don't have the names for the artists on these as they're saved from random places over the years.

>>3333639

The way the water is all distorted and reflecting those colours is really interesting.

For sure this is Moebius. One of the Gods of Lineart and illustration.

The forms in this are immense.

The verticality in this astounds me. Such depth.

I love this one, does anybody mow where I can find more like it?

>>3335318
they never do the water right, like did they not have gold fish or something

>>3336615
I don't think he cared about depicting the water, anonski.

Sargent

>>3337485
tell me, is Sargent a meme on /ic/ or is he really well known in the states?
in Europe, literally no one knows Sargent.
I like his paintings, but to be honest, the way he paints is kinda prosaic and restrained.

>>3337506
He's pretty famous, anon.

>>3337506
>the way he paints is kinda prosaic and restrained.

Then you don't really understand the autism in classical painting techniques. Compared to them, Caravaggio for example, Sargent was wild. Yeah, he wasn't as loose and crazy as later impressionists, -some even being his peers- but his brushwork alone shows immense life.

>>3337544
hang on why are you comparing sargent to caravaggio?

>>3337544
>Compared to them, Caravaggio for example, Sargent was wild.
are you kidding me? caravaggio has an incredible dramatic aura, even with his most stoic portraits.
i see sargent as someone who painted very meticulously and evenly throughout his paintings. he would not neglect one inch in them (except for his watercolors, which are more loose). i haven't seen a Sargent original in real life yet, so i do admit i don't have an optimal base for a judgement.

>>3337550
Brushwork and general attitude to a method. Sargent worked mostly alla prima, Caravaggio did not. That's all. Also, there is a connection between the two by way of Carolus-Duran, who loved Caravaggio. Sargent studied under Duran.

>>3337553
I wasn't talking about their imagry. I was strictly talking about brushwork and paint treatment. Sargrent did extensive studies to understand form, but allowed himself a certain freedom in execution. Caravaggio did extensive studies and then approached his painting with the same meticulous attention in how he applied his paint.

>>3337541

Who is this?

>>3331225
Whaddya know, I thought it looked oddly crude and uninspired for Klimt

>>3337506
Check out this corner of a Sargent painting.
Where exactly does this look restrained?

>>3337893
If you view it as Venetian Mannerism, in the tradition of Titian and Tintoretto, you'll see that it is comparatively restrained! It's far less neurotic than most forms of Mannerism, because he wants to add a blend of American individualism. Personality-power. You see a lot of shot colours and musculature but the drama of the older Mannerism is gone. Courbet's another reference point.

>>3337893
this guy >>3337962 is not me from here >>3337506, but I agree. I'm sort of at a loss of proper words for it, but it's the way how evenly Sargent "finishes his works" that makes me think it is rather genteel, even a bit squeamish. again, these are strong words. I appreciate Sargent in a way, but these subtle impressions still remain. maybe he just wasn't as "wild" as his peers.

>>3337962
Why are you relating Sargent to Mannerism in any way? He was barely even tangential to that. Where's the connection? He is only tangential to Caravagio, by way of his teacher. So to compare Sargent to Titian is a bit of a stretch for me. And American individualism? Maybe, but hardly. Sargent was American almost entirely in name only. He spent the lion's share of his life in Europe, he was born and grew up in those countries.

>>3337983
>maybe he just wasn't as "wild" as his peers.
Exactly. Compared to some of his friends -early impressionists- he was tame, but compared to the classical and academic art world that he operated in he was a breath of fresh air. He loosened up even more with his watercolors, even though he maintained his drawing accuracy.

>>3327900
itsa good stuff

Murray's Dictionary of Art & Artists doesn't give Sargent much play.

Sargent was well-acquainted with many of the great masters from first hand observation, as he wrote in 1874, "I have learned in Venice to admire Tintoretto immensely and to consider him perhaps second only to Michelangelo and Titian."

>>3338059
Because Sargent admired Mannerists, he acquired a preference for 'shot' colours and this must have given him the impulse to paint the lanterns in 'Carnation...'

>>3338074
>>3338059
>>3338056
Haven't seen this, thanks! I'm:>>3338001
I love Sargent, and the more I can learn, the better.

What's a good place to start learning about older artists? I really would like to get into this stuff but there's just so much out there that I don't know where to begin.

Also here to break the combo by dumping my degeneracy.

>>3338107

>>3338108

>>3338109

>>3338110
And I'll finish with this one

>>3338107
Start with a single artist that you like. If they're popular enough, they'll have a wiki. Go from there. But look more at their work rather than their life, that's what I do.

>>3338118
thats mad nioce.

>>3338172

>>3338176
honestly, looking through the thread I was looking for Gauguin paintings but that one stuck out to me as particularly close to my aesthetic.

>>3338056
>Murray's Dictionary of Art & Artists
Well let's take that as gospel then. Most of the modern art world thinks Tracey Emin SHOULD be head of drawing right now. Imagine popular opinions change! Even Breugel was in the wilderness for several hundred years.

god i hate people, everyone is so pedestrian. even if they have the taste to pick a good picture it's still has to have a pretty girl eye fucking the viewer. i mean the sheer overwhelming primacy of the primate part of the brain. i don't think we'll ever discover true beauty with all the pretty girls standing in the way.

dont like the female gaze do ya gaiii boiiii?

>>3338556
no pretty boys are just as bad, just there are so many pretty girls in art. it's like 80%.

unless our dicks are the real arbiter of beauty or waifus are the most beautiful thing in the universe by sheer coincidence then art has wasted a lot of time.

Cornwell huh? well, he really is boring. Thanks for showing that off.

>>3338525
Nice try, sneaky anon, but I won't watch anything to do with her. she's from near me & thinks they'll make a big museum just for her when she dies. FUCK OFF

>>3338607
Cornwell is only boring unless you try to paint with oil on a real canvas, rather picking colors with an erase tool. Then you see what real art is about.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai

I was into classic traditional paintings and artwork from 1400s-1700s Europe. But after seeing the art of ukiyo-e and Japanese prints done from the 1800s, I've really been enamored with their way of using composition, light, and color. There's something about it that's mysterious that draws me in.

Ukiyo-e was also the very style that propelled the Impressionists as well as Vincent van Gogh. Especially at a time in history when the camera was taking over the art world and traditional painters had a direct competition and no longer created classsical-realistic artwork.

For the current anons on this board, the tradition of ukiyo-e also spawned the Japanese art of manga which developed into what we know today as anime.

You need to have very well trained eyes to understand those colors, and enough skill to mix them properly

You would think flowers' colors are pretty high but if you paint straight from the tube it'll look like shit, though if you mix it a bit too much it won't be vibrant enough. There's real skill here

>>3327814
Mainly the colours, the action of old-style farming, and the posing in general drives me to work.
van Gogh became great for a reason, he got gud.

The best part about beksinksi is how you can continuously find more and more paintings you've never laid your eye on the more you dig. The worst part about him is that these paintings are nine times out of ten for some reason in 312x247 resolution or even black and white (?!).

>>3327814

There's a very difficult to describe quality about his artwork.

>>3339953
Nasty as fuck. I absolutely adore it.

I can't get over how intense the drawings this guy did are. Apparently he was in the gulag for many years.
