Eduardo Kach's fluorescent rabbit
*Kac
http://www.genomenewsnetwork.org/articles/03_02/bunny_art.shtml
what the hell...
i like it for a few reasons
modern medicine came out in part from art, the anatomical drawings of the body. i like that reversing, that science is used to create art. and also we've gone from "I am Death, the destroyer of worlds" to being our own Gods, to creating life, or rather we are on the cusp of that, and this bunny is a nice playful anbut very effective symbol and example of that
hmm
i've got lots of images of mice with flourescent tumours. do you reckon i can submit these to a gallery?

I blame DAREDEVIL TUESDAY - it's taken control of me.
Good call.

sigh
I love Renoir
'The Umbrellas' looks great
also I have a Jeffrey Lewis comic where he talks about how the CIA funded Surrealist art by Jackson Pollock and his contemporaries in order to prevent the art world from becoming more political/realist and challenging the government.
good call on the whistler

I'll go along with that as well.
It's a shame Athena shut, I no longer know where to get my art from.
i've got into sculpture now

^ i hate that painting with a loathing so utter
why?
'cause he's trying really hard to look cool.

Reply. Fail.
i find him very lurid and not particularly pleasant to look at
and a bit heavy handed, especially compared to some of his contemporaries who were doing a similar sort of thing.
since when was art meant to be pleasant to look at?!!
hmm well we are talking about "favourite pieces"
and I was going more from an aesthetically pleasing stance which is maybe where tris is coming from. I think Dali's work is pretty incredible in terms of what he was dreaming up and the break with realism but it's not something I'd stick on my walls as I find it a bit too stark.
I'd like to have a print of this, maybe
http://www.fotos.org/galeria/data/520/3Salvador-Dali-Premonition-Of-Civil-War.jpg
i was talking aesthetically
maybe i picked the wrong word. i don't really find him very interesting to look at either.

I need to visit.
in st. ives?
i've been twice. last time was about a month ago in the rain! it was absolutely beautiful.
Oh man.
It's such a bloody mission to get to and I'd have to find someone to drag along.
favourite artist is Hopper.
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/131/354725812_19fa2c2fd6.jpg
I adore his stuff.
I like the odd Magritte, especially this: http://www.mcs.csuhayward.edu/~malek/Surrealism/magritte2.jpg
I love Degas:

Bacon's triptych
Which one?
Dry Cure, I'm guessing.
It's ok, I've already trudged to the tunnel before you show your cards.
That's beyond disgraceful.
12 game ban, no right of appeal.
I tried searching for a packet of bacon picture

Cool.
Munch - Dance of Life
http://kafka.cn/tag/images/danceOfLife_3.jpg
I am off to a Munch exhibition at Glasgow uni in a couple of weeks :)
:O
i'm jealous.
I went to the Munch museum year before last.
It was reasonably crap but the security was exciting due to those punters nicking the Scream.

I managed to end up in one of the first ever big exhibitions of his work in Russia, totally by accident.
Ralph Goings

One of the best things to see in San Francisco..
http://library.thinkquest.org/20868/ico/gal/s468.jpg
These are all shit
Favourite artist is Edward Hopper, probably...
Gas Station is good (http://tinyurl.com/r98p5q). Like so many of his paintings it manages to present loneliness simply and effectively.
Hammershoi as well, for similar reasons (http://tinyurl.com/o6fq9k). Stillness is a very hard mood to achieve, and somehow he does it.
Claude Lorraine's landscapes and seascapes are excellent as well, purely for the light. The Expulsion of Hagar is my favourite of his work: http://www.bible-art.info/wpe103.jpg
Whistler. Light, mood blah blah: http://www.tate.org.uk/adventcalendar/2006/artworks/T01571_Whistler.jpg
And then there's Turner, both the Claude Lorraine-influenced period and the "lets just paint pictures of light" period. This is one of my favourites, 'Southern Landscape with an Aqueduct and Waterfall': http://tinyurl.com/pldztq.
Yay paintings.
idk, but my favourite artists are Grünewald and Francis Bacon,
so something by either of them. Maybe:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/Grunewald_-_christ.jpg
cuz Jesus looks pretty lolsome in it, but I prefer some of Grünewald's more gruesome stuff. It's sick.
I also like David Hockney's perv-y ones where it's like he's eying up young men at the pool or in the shower. And A Bigger Splash:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/53/Hockney%2C_A_Bigger_Splash.jpg
SUMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
hey, hey!
that's my favourite Bernini piece too!
gentileschi - http://elliomendes.zip.net/images/gente.jpg
if it ain't baroque DON'T FIX IT
Woah- that's fucking cool.
...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemisia_Gentileschi
I quite like this one
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Susanna.jpg
probably this...
http://tinyurl.com/pvayyw
also Saville
http://laurapoustie.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/saville-1.jpg
and Freud
http://www.geocities.com/~mhrowell/lucien_freud-reflection.jpg
for being excessively painterly. I love it when oils are used in such a broad way they look textural. (y)
Tha's the kind of thing that makes me wish I could paint.
Or draw at all, really.
^ all so ossum
making oils textural is THE BEST TRICK IN THE BOOK!
also, lizzy! let's go to St. Ives?
and the Musee D'Orsay! Why have i never been A PARIS
I lived like 5 streets away from there
AND GET TO GO THERE FOR 8-10 MONTHS. ROOL
I AM COMING TO VISIT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT
there is loads of other cool stuff in St. Ives other than Hepworth yano? you know Alfred Wallis? or um, Hepworth's husband was cool. And all these really cool potters. And then Penzance has an amazing art gallery with loads of Newlyn School stuff in, and then there is Zennor just down the way with the cutest little church and the pub where DH Lawrence finished Sons & Lovers. I love cornwall.
I think someone needs to make me a rather big apology first
also this place is ace
http://fondation.cartier.com/
I saw a massive Lynch exhibition there about 3 yrs ago.
yum!
the photo of the building is turning me on
It's pretty amazing. I like the way that's it's almost not a building.
It's a series of massive grids, set amongst a tree filled vacant plot. Some of the grids act like screens, some act like walls and some just suggest the boundary of a space.
It's by Jean Nouvel, who also designed the Arad Institute too (the building with the opening and closing 'apertures').
has anyone said those books with things cut out of them yet.
because it's clearly them. It's not even subjective. It's them.
I like the Seagram Murals
I might even buy the magnet set for the frigde.
http://smallritual.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834520df269e2010536174749970c-800wi
classy.
Fridge
*sigh*
I saw them in the Tate.
I used to think Rothko was a pile of shit, but woah... those Seagram Murals were actually quite unsettling.
I know
It's a bit different being in a space with a series of them, particularly lit as Rothko intended. They are kind of oppressive in that little room the Tate used.

http://artlung.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/millais-ophelia.jpg
self portrait by chuck close
http://www.culturevulture.net/ArtAndArch/images/close2.jpg
those last two are some of my favourites as well
detail by Close=incredible and the colours in Ophelia are so vibrant.
i like to imagine a girl floating to her death like that because of me
maybe i died....maybe we broke up....maybe there was a breakdown in communication....either way, her socks are soggy becuase of me,me,me.
I prefer to think of taking her where the wild roses grow
and bashing her head in with a rock. I'm romantic like that.
you two can get out of my thread please if you continue like that
I thought you'd appreciate the Nick Cave reference ) :
You know i'm a sweetheart.
don't group me in with johnny death stare up there
i'm just looking to inject my life with a bit of shakespearian tragedy...he's talking about using pebbles to make little girls ears bleed...what a rotter.
I got the Cave reference
it's just both of you are coming off like nutjobs.
Okay..it was a bit much.

landscape with the fall of icarus
http://choimin.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/icarus1.jpg
is my favourite 'art' art at this moment in time, but i reckon nabokov's ada is the greatest piece of art of the 20th century.
I forgot how much I love this
http://www.davelevy.info/Downloads/wpaper/FightingTemeraire.jpg
it's so awesome!
turner srsly is visionary
I can't remember where the fuck I actually saw that exhibited.
Hmmmm
is it not in the tate's permanent collexion?
but I've not been to the tate in yonks
I'm bloody sure I saw it elsewhere. I'm probably delirious. That's highly likely.
monoliths and dimensions

No offense but I fucking hate the elevation of fashion to the level of 'art'
you obviously don't know much about fashion then
or art, for that matter.
Okay- it was a knee jerk reaction, and I don't claim to know much
about art or fashion..but it seems a bit (literally) 'style over substance' to me.

it's one of my favourite shots of all time. I'd recommend is book to anyone. Robert Capa is a charming, funny and charismatic man who somehow weaves a excellent love story into his story of his photojournalism.
