Awesome, thank you.
Do you have any suggestions for books about different art movements? The only one I really know of/am interested in is Futurism, and that's only because I heard about it hear then downloaded a book about it.

I think I'd like art, I always enjoy going into art galleries and looking at paintings, and I enjoyed learning about futurism, but I just don't know where to start.

I really like Magritte, Dali and Odillon posted here. I didn't like Damien Hirst at first and he is somewhat of an asshole, but his ideas are solid and provocative and seeing his work baffled me completely.

I really like Matisse, Picasso and Duchamp. I think they deserve the fame they got.

>>3244191
Go to museums, brah. See the real deal.

>>3244199
Oh. Well, then yes, read about them. You can check history art books by Argan and Gombrich. History of Beauty and History of Ugliness by Umberto Eco are also good books, though they deal with much more than simply pictures. And there are hundreds of different books from and about different artists that go in depth in their processes. I think there is no other way than to simply stop to look whenever you find something interesting and dive into it and from there get the connection to the next.

well art movements like futurism are a bit harder because they often feature literature and film alongside, so it's perhaps better to look at books that focus on one medium

i'd say go for a more general book or television documentary series and go from there, most of my knowledge comes from having an art teacher as a mother but apart from that going to galleries, reading some general books and watching art programs on tv have been my best way of learning

and taking a module on avant-garde literature and art, but again i doubt this is available to you

As an an Art History graduate and intern for Sotheby's, I love so many artists. I'd say Odilon Redon and Cross lately.
But I really love many artists from the past to today.

>> No.3244322

I have so many artbooks from museums collection books to lowbrow pop art magazines. To list the pieces I like would take hours. Seriously I like a ton of art. All the way from high to low. It's great. So many clippings from newspapers, etc. Ready for the clincher? I believe "furry" art has legit artistic merit. Not all of it, but there is a good couple dozen artists out there that are just great.

I dunno, I guess to see it as "art" you have to be able to consider stuff like graffiti and "lowbrow" stuff as art. Mostly the real colorful stuff. I'd feel embarrassed to say cause for the most part it's "adult" whatever that means
