It is incredible how Schiele manages to paint figures so distorted, yet retains anatomic accuracy within his works.

>>6174662
is this entire picture made with dry brush?
isn't that extremely wasteful?

Posting pictures I took in some local museums

inb4 abstract art isn't art hurr muh details

>>6174748
>>6174703
Schiele is fucking amazing

Anyone else kind of like surrealism, but not the aesthetic of Dali?
There's something about the playfulness of the imagery i like, but it's juxtaposed with this very realistic way of painting that i'm not a big fan of.
I think i kind of prefere Magritte's paintings to Dali's

>>6174767
>hurr muh details
what? that painting is extremely detailed.

>>6174767
Shit, why is it turned 90° counterclockwise?

Pic related was really creepy.

inb4 beksinki. not that he's bad but he shows up in damn near every one of these threads

>>6174780
was thinking the same thing, it tends to happen with pictures taken from the phone.
especially if you post it from your phone in my experience.

>>6174785
I've always loved that painting.
The look in his eyes is so intense, it amazes me everytime. The whole painting radiates some kind of disparity that keeps grasping my attention.

>>6174778
No, I'm actually talking about people who only like very detailed, realistic paintings.

>>6174797
A bit on the nose, but I enjoy the composition.

>>6174806
>A bit on the nose
how?

Love this guy.
Any painters in this thread?

Pic related was in a horrible place. It was big room with 8-10 gigantic paintings on the walls, 2-4 smaller ones, a 5 m long string hanging from the ceiling and several sculptures on the floor. It was a shock to enter the room. You get bombarded with so many things from so many directions, it gets ridiculously confusing. Later I came back there and saw a sculpture I haven't noticed at all the first time!

lets do this

>>6174837
wow, i love that

Not a painting though

>>6174842

GOAT colourists

>>6175341

What century are you guys living in?

>>6175348

how do I go about understanding Renaissance and Baroque art?

I want to start painting with oil paint, but have no idea what to get and where to start.
Anyone got any tips? I heard that oil painting can be pretty dangerous, and you shouldn't paint with it in a small area.
My room is very small, would this be a serious problem, and especially on a larger scale?

>>6175355

>>6175362
Depends. What do you want to start painting? If its people, then you should get well acquainted with drawing the human figure first. If anything else, just start throwing colors onto the canvas. Yeah small room, maybe not. The paint has a strong smell.

>>6175362
Painting is dead m8, forget about it entirely. It's all about conceptual shit now, which is all garbage.

>>6175390
Well then, nothing can't be reborn.

Composition and color theory would be good to know. I mean I've painted in smaller rooms and I didn't faint but I could definitely smell it.

>>6175464

>>6175470

>>6175468
how small are we talking?
i'm thinking just making some small paintings right now. does it matter if it's closed off or not, cause i could do it in the booth in the garage.

>>6175475
Yeah just try it out in your room and see how it goes. If it starts bothering you then you can move to the garage. Or perhaps open a window.

>>6175473

>>6175481

>>6175479
i will, but will this smell and the fumes continue in the drying process, can't that take days?
was also thinking of watering down the color for my bigger projects (and maybe some smaller), can that be harmful in small spaces?

>>6175481

Bougeareau is a great painter. I just wish he didn't paint the exact same face on every female figure he ever made.

Looking up that Urs Amann stuff from above I found this. Would go good with Saint Coco

>>6175885
I don't think you can group them into one style, but they're all contemporary artists. What makes them similar is that the brush strokes look buttery and wet, the paint is thick.

>>6175898
He probably applies the first few coats with a palette knife to create texture.

>>6175945
More!

>>6175951
that's fucking hilarious.

anyone got that 'palm' picture or whatever, it's the one with broad, red/orange strokes creating a palm-like figure. often used as an example of how modern art is degenerate, but it really is beautiful.

>>6175945
That's just actual paint.

>>6175956
Malcolm Liepke

No love for engravings?

>>6175959

Gustave Dore. His work is amazing

(If you're worried about not-being-polite, you needn't worry about it at all)

He stood beside the curtain.
‘There’s nothing going on out there, if that’s what you’re wondering’
Streetlight flooded through a large front-room window and a shadow casted itself onto the wall opposite; its meagre outline disfigured by some furniture.
From outside the window one could barely make out the face of the figure. A beard, black and unkempt, though not quite rugged. Two sides to a nose; feint. A furrowed brow, eyes narrow, a conical jaw.
Its posture, limited. It did not impose and yet did not restrain. To be frank, it simply was.
The streetlight died and with it, the shadow. He swept the curtain back to the middle
‘Want to turn on the light?’

Andrea del Sarto doesn't get enough love.

Abstract painting is hit or miss, but abstract sculpture is usually pretty good because even if it looks like nonsense there's still some craft involved in getting it to not topple over and not just anyone can do it.

Just a gross painting
Saturn swallowed them whole. It was a logic problem of sorts. First gods were kept inside mother earth, but she conspired to let them out, second time Saturn had to swallow them, but they're immortal still and got out. The painting is just gratuitous gore.

>>6175817
neat

>>6176237

Half the shit in this thread is gratuitous beauty

It's even worse than gratuitous gore because it appeals to vanity

watched a documentary called 'Brakhage' where it says the the paint he used likely gave him bladder cancer. also pretty good documentary; his kids talk about how hed get into these states once in a while where hed forget his name and speak random numbers over and over, they said he looked like an entirely different person, and his voice sounded different, he forgot how to do things like answer the phone

>>6176264
>I kind of see it as a propaganda piece
in what way?
i feel like works that depict beauty tend to be way more propagandistic.

>>6176276
Oh, I thought you were talking about Richter.¨
When you say paint movies, do you mean stuff like 'Mothlight' and 'The Horseman, the Woman, and the Moth'? Cause i really liked those

>>6176294
Sorry, I ment Eye Myth, not The Horseman, the Woman, and the Moth.

Vaguely related but does anyone know if there is much of a neo-aboriginal art movement (speaking of the australian aborigines), either themselves or foreigners playing with their traditional dots and patterns upon or with influence of all the art framework that had/has passed them by

>>6176213
eyy is this beethoven

>>6176178
+1 for Franz Marc. I saw a great exhibition that included some works of his a few years ago and was v. impressed.

>>6176280
In that it's against the age of Saturn/Kronos. Probably nothing.

>>6176316
nah his son mozart

>>6176320
He's especially fascinating when you read into his story. His paintings grew out of his appreciation for animals and their seeming peacefulness in contrast to man. He tried to paint an interpretation of the world through their eyes.

As WWI began to grow more evident, his regards to man fell lower and he also grew to accept that animal and man were more similar than they were different. His later paintings were less like The Yellow Cow and more like Fate of the Animals (image limit hit).

Eventually he was killed in Verdun during wartime. The kicker is that he was supposed to be pulled from the war as an artist of importance, but the withdrawal order didn't make it to him in time.

>>6176347
nah its his former roommate bach

>>6176237

I exposed one of my friends (who believes he's a patrician in terms of art, after studying fine art) to Richter's work, and he wouldn't stop laughing. Kept saying how this work requires no skill, how if you look at a detailed landscape painting there is more substance.

Why do people think that different forms of painting have to be ranked, and dismissed in this way? I tried explaining how a painting doesn't necessarily have to be of the physical world, but like this come from the abstract feelings that we have within us.

What's the best way to describe abstract art? I just sort of take it for granted rather than needing a meaning.

Just looked at the google results. Honestly. He scribbled like a child in the phallic stage.

How much would you pay me to put that on your walls?
Have you seen the documentary Who the Fuck is Jackson Pollack?

>>6181132
Rothko is crap. At least in his late period there's nothing he's said in one painting that he hasn't said in his others.

>>6181225
>im an artist
how much do you learn in those middle school art classes?

>>6181625
One could say that any child could make a drawing like Twombly only in the sense that any fool with a hammer could fragment sculptures as Rodin did, or any house painter could spatter paint as well as Pollock. In none of these cases would it be true. In each case the art lies not so much in the finesse of the individual mark, but in the orchestration of a previously uncodified set of personal "rules" about where to act and where not, how far to go and when to stop, in such a way as the cumulative courtship of seeming chaos defines an original, hybrid kind of order, which in turn illuminates a complex sense of human experience not voiced or left marginal in previous art.
