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.

Carlitus - if you like Kandinski you do indeed have great taste in art!

Hmm, and I thought the most reproduced piece was the crying gypsy kid (which is reproduced so much it turned into kitch).

Everytime I see a big Giger or Dali print... I also like Miro and Kandinsky (both more for decorative reasons, I have to admit...) At the moment I am looking at a small (nice framed) print by Keith Haring I hung up the wall of my office...

Cooking as art? I went to a dinner/booksigning with Tony Bourdain this evening. If anyone else is near a stop on his signing tour, it's worth it, he's nice guy.
Back on-topic...
I really thought this was a goofy string, but this actually happened to me today. After the dinner I was browsing through a local bookstore and happened upon an artist I had never heard of before. The book was "friggin huge" (scientific measurement of immensity), and the first paintings I saw in it were kind of classical, so I figured this guy was long dead. Then I found that he is a modern painter. The stuff was, well, staggering. I was really, really impressed.
His name is Odd Nerdrum. I dunno why I haven't heard of him, I have to get out more. Click me now and believe me later:

That's what I had about 10 years ago when I stumbled on Laszlo Mednyanski. http://hungart.euroweb.hu/cgi-bin/hungart/search.cgi?author=MEDNY%C1NSZKY%2C+L%E1szl%F3&time=any&form=any&type=any&place=%F6sszes&title=&comment=&lang=1

Well, as I said, I'm not a big fan of most Art.
But there is one artist that I really love. It's Pierre-Auguste Renoir. He's only one of two artists I actually drove 3 hours to go see an exhibition of his work. I don't know why, but there is something in his brush strokes, a general feeling in his work, that just grabs e from the inside. Some melancholy, some calm and quiet happiness.
I especialy like Le Moulin de la Galette http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/renoir/moulin-galette/ and his dancers ( http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/renoir/dancers/bougival.jpg, http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/renoir/dancers/city.jpg and http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/renoir/dancers/country.jpg). I also love this little girl http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/renoir/watercan.jpg and this portrait http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/renoir/portraits/irene.jpg.
By the way, watching his paintings on a computer screen doesn't capture a fraction of the feeling you get in front of the original, or at least in front of a good reproduction.
The other artist I drove to see his exhibition in Quebec city was Auguste Rodin, and yes, his Gates of Hell is quite astonishing.
There must be something about people named Auguste (

George Perez's comic art is some of the most beautiful stuff I've seen:

And I really like Greg Land's stuff too. Especially his work on Sojourn - beautiful stuff!
In terms of 'traditional' art, the Group of Seven and Emily Carr have always inspired and amazed me:

Carlitus, you will get there, you have the talent
I agree with you Paxx, on a monitor paintings seem dead somehow. They just don't have the same radiation as in reality. Renoir is lovely.

I can honestly say one of the works that has really knocked me for six in it's complexity and intricacy has been http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/59008 by nuvem
I could easily imagine that hanging in a gallery.
As to non digital artists Dali is probably my favourite. I'm not really all that into art though.

it's never late to get 'overkarmed' observing the most great art piece:
