Seriously though, I like Hopper, I think he captured the ordinary everyday stuff quite beautifully. I was at Disneyland Paris a few years back and they had a 4ft square version of Office in a Small City hanging at the end of our corridor. Looked great that size. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 On 11/10/2016 at 23:49, Theo Snelders said: Anyone like Turner? The Fighting Temeraire There was an interesting discussion about this on R4 the other morning. Turner was an early adopter of new colours and some of the blues in this were being seen for the first time. He also used a pure black in the funnel of the tugboat which is apparently a big artistic no-no and he was criticised for it. Funnily enough, the funnel is in the wrong place - it should be further back above the boiler and between the paddles but Turner thought this interfered with the lines of the Temeraire so moved it forward. When the painting went to the printers to be mass produced, the printer moved the funnel into it's "correct" position. Turner found out and went nuts, insisting it be put back where he wanted it but the first print run had already gone out. Also, there's nowhere on the Thames where you could see a setting sun like that - a geographical impossibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamDFC Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Malevich probably had the biggest influence over me. 'Eight Red Rectangles' still amazes and frustrates me... annoyingly, provocatively perfect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) I've always liked Gustave Caillebotte. He's usually listed among the impressionists, which is where I usually find the most art I enjoy, but his cleanness of line, and interest in perspective & form actually often put him more comfortably with the post-impressionists, and even set the ground for some aspects of futurism. A few particular loves: Paris Street, Rainy Day Raboteurs de parquets The Pont de l’Europe Boulevard des Italiens Jeune Homme à la fenêtre Edited November 13, 2016 by milton75 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Like a lot of the pre-Raphaelite paintings. This one, Knight Erarnt by John Everett Millais is part of "Nude: Art from the Tate Collection" now on at the Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a BBC4 programme on this triptych and I found it wonderfully engrossing.

Apparently the scene at the bottom of the painting is the view from Dali's house. For some reason this painting was regularly slashed.

throbber Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 It's just pretentious shite then, a splatter of paint on a sheet and passed off as art. I remember being in an art shop once and there was one piece that had an orange blob on canvas. It was just a piece of canvas and someone had thrown orange paint on it and made a blob. It was called "orange on canvas" with an asking price of £250. To me that is just an absolute brass neck to be asking for that sort of money for something like that but I'm sure some pretentious arsehole bought the thing. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
