Did any art shake your legs?
Tuesday, November 12, 2002 by Lecrayon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
While I was walking up the stairs in the Van Gogh museum watching an exhibition of expressionists I had to make a turn and there it was...This portrait of Marcellin Desboutin by Edouard Manet (1875)was so incredibly powerful I stood nailed to the ground, I couldn't speak and just only could admire the sheer brilliance of this piece.

Uh oh, negative vibes!

The good thing is we all have our own tastes, isnt it. The scan isn't a particular good one, I just couldn't find it on another site. There's nothing better than seeing it in reality. But what shook your legs? Nothing?

Bouguereau, Edward Hopper, and Tamera Lempicka are constant companions to me.
One of my biggest revalations, and one that opened me to art in the beginning, was discovering Lord Leighton, Waterhouse and the other Pre-Raphealites. I had no idea that during the mid and late 19th century that anyone was painting anything besides splotchy impressionistic drek. I realized that my aversion to 'art' was only an aversion to some 'popular' art, and there was much more to choose from than what we are force-fed in every museum gift-shop.
As far as sculpture, Rodin's 'The Gates of Hell' springs to mind ( but was I named after him, so I am probably biased. ) I saw Constantin Brancusi's "Bird in Space" when I was like 10 years old, and I remember staring at it for a long time, it was so simple.

I am not easily impressed. Some things are intriguing though. This particular comic cover for instance: http://www.1001bd.com/bd/series/adios_palomita/adios_palomita.jpg
And then there's Gaudì... http://www.ctv.es/USERS/ags/GAUDI.htm
But it usually does not get more than 'interesting'.

Nature's art has stopped me dead in my tracks a few times. Man's art only does so on rare occasion.

Kandinski and Picasso!
Dali too.
I like Moebius (Jean Giraud) and Enki Bilal (comic's designers, a minor art for the masses, and a sense for me)!
If can be interpreted as art, i feel more than good vibrations listening some of the Smashing Pumkins songs, and David Bowie and Bob Dylan, Tom Waits...
Mo soul gous to heaven when i read the poetry of J. Verdaguer.
I see more than buils and nature mixed on the Antoni Gaudi constructions.
I feel good when...

There's 'ART' that can rock your sox right here in the 'wallpaper' section.
Some of these people will be the 'Masters' of tomorrow.
To ignore digital works in deference to ink and/or canvas is a tacit display of ignorance and myopia.
Sort by 'rating-descending' and just look closely.
There are many more...

As for Gaudi....well, his name has filtered into the common language 'gaudy'...for good reason. He mastered the art of hideously overdoing something and managed to get away with it. More power to him..
Certainly an influential 'artist'...when minimalism was 'chic' [Le Corbusier]...

Paintings of Elvis on Black Velvet.
(Black velvet and that little boy smile.....)
Occasionally, I even make myself laugh.

I mean, I like to have pictures, painting, scultures in my house for decoration, but it's really just to make my house pretty, not to just sit in front of it and admire.
I don't go to Art Museums, it's one of the most boring activities one could force me to do. :/
Sorry.
